Aashiq Ilahi Meerathi mentions in the biography of Rasheed
Ahmad Gungohi that the wife of Moulvi Mahmood Hasan Sahib
Nagonwi was an extremely pious and abstentious woman and
resided with her father in Mecca for 12 years. She once said to
him, “My son! Hazrat (Rasheed Ahmad Gungohi) had many
students and disciples, but none of them truly understood him. In
the days when I was residing in Mecca, I used to see Hazrat
(Rasheed Ahmad Gungohi) pray the morning prayer in the
Haraam Shareef (Masjid al-Haraam). And I have also heard from
others that this is Hazrat Rasheed Ahmad Gungohi, who comes
from Gungoha (a city on India).” 594
Based up this belief they promote the idea that the Shaikh helps
the Mureed, protects his religion and help him in the grave.
The Deobandi Shaikh helps his Disciples from the
Unseen
A Khadim (disciple) of Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri was traveling
in a train along with a Sadu (Hindu priest). The Khadim informed
the Sadu that there was a great Shaikh in Saharanpur and many
people come to visit him. The Khadim experienced an alien feeling
and severe pressure on his heart. His heart was gripped by fear
and bewilderment. He completely lost his senses and his ability to
speak, and there was no indication as to what caused this
condition. While in this condition he saw Hazrat Saharanpuri who
commanded him to recite (hasbunallahi wa-nimal Wakeel).
Although he could not speak, he started this Dhikr with his heart
and soon recovered from his condition. He then heard the Sadu
saying, “Truly, your Guru (i.e. Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri) is
highly qualified and very powerful.” 595
