Spread Awareness on the Correct Lineage of Sarwari Qadri Order
A spiritual achievement of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen is to make the world know about the correct lineage of the Sarwari Qadri order. After Sultan Bahoo many deceptive people had claimed to be his spiritual successors. They wrongly connected themselves with the Sarwari Qadri order. Actually, the real spiritual Sarwari Qadri lineage was present but just out of limelight of this material world. As it is the rule of the spiritual guides of the Sarwari Qadri order to remain away from prominence. Sadly, to their benefit, some fraudulent people used Sarwari Qadri title and tried to drive common people to themselves. Yet the sincere seekers of Allah never were inclined towards them. However, they gained utmost attention from the materialistic people and seekers of the world. Also, the excess of materialistic seekers fulfilled their desire of having huge followers. As it was a source of their cheap fame and affluence.
Spiritual Reward for his Services
The spiritual guides of the Sarwari Qadri order accepted all the services of Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen. Hence in unison they titled him as Shan-e-Faqr which means the glory of Faqr. Furthermore, they said, “Your splendour is very near and dear to all the Saints of the Sarwari Qadri order. After Sultan Bahoo, the true identity and splendour of none of the spiritual guides was clear on the people. Indeed, you disclosed the true grandeur of this order. Not only that but you also made spiritual guides of Sarwari Qadri order known among people.”
