person, literary master pieces are born. Great epic poem - Thajul Akbar
was born thus. Melodious poems like Fathima Beevi Wafath, Wagibath &
Thouheed Maala, Maa’rifath Maala and Muhiyiddeen Maala.
Wajibath Maala:

Aqeedas, knowledge required for performing Namaz and fasting and few
guidance.

Malayalam which was written at the request of few disciples .This work
will be great use for those who well versed with the usages of
“Isthilahusoofiyya” .The work also communicates aspects of the
thareeqath and summary of great kithabs.
Maa’rifath Maala or Munajath:
Ashaique Assayyid Muhammed Kamaluddeenul Jeeliyul Quadiriyyu Sufiyyu
(Q.S) who was main Qualif of Shaiquna Bani(Q.S) introduces this great
poetry: “Munajath was sung in the early stages of halath- maqamaths of
Shaiquna Al Aarif Billahil Kummal Moulana Abul Fazal Assayyid Muhammed
Jalaluddeen Idrosiyyunnoriyyul Quadiriyyurrifaiyyul
Chishthiyyshaduliyyunnaqshabandiyyu
A.I Muthu koya thangal. It is ideal for those who believe in
Ahlussunnathu val Jamaa’, especially members of Quadriyathu Sufiyyath
Threeqath. Munajath should be habituated in time of thahajjud or after
magrib or before going to bed or right after subhi or whenever
comfortable to recite .It is proved by experience that those who recite
munajath as a habit will feel the light of ma’arifath in their heart”.
Specialty and greatness of the Munajath is underlined by this statement
itself.

Arabic Malayalam about life and trials of Prophet Yusuf (A.S). Holly
Quran introduces this real life story as the ‘most beautiful story’.
This is written in enchanting form, tofuching heart of the listeners.
Shaiquna was visited the actual places of events, and referred
innumerous books of thafseer as well as Islamic history for writing this
unique combination of history and poetry. This great work is the
pointer towards the literary genius of the great poet. Readers and
audience of this legendary creation will be mesmerized by heavenly
happiness bursting out from their mind; a rare phenomenon. In the
beginning of this book poet implore to Almighty: “Oh! Lord, may fill the
minds of people with happiness.” It is believed that the very
phenomenon specified above is the result of this prayer.
Fathima Beevi Wafath Maala

based upon historical books. In this poetry shaiquna explains the
events occurred before the demise of Fathima (R.A) daughter of Messenger
of Allah, Muhammad (S.A). Conversations between Fatima (R.A) and her
beloved husband just before her wafath is portrayed in touching
language. The poem reminds us about life after death.

the life of Shaique Quthubul Aqthab Gausul aa’lam Muhiyiddeen Abdul
Quadir Geelani(Allah be pleased with him), the leader of sufis, beacon

The
great Master of Khadiriyya Thariqath ( order), the reason behind
innumerable belighted souls in the path of truth and spirituality, left
to the heavenly abode in hijra 1388, in the month of safar 25 (A.D 1968
may 25) Saturday evening. Noorul Irfan Arabic College is truly a
citadel of spiritual knowledge, an everlasting tribute to the cause of
Allah. Bani Hazarth’s Madhar sharif, is in the nearby Mahlara, founded
by him (may Allah be pleased with him) for conducting Ratib and other
aurath for the disciples. May Allah favour all of us, to contribute in
the growthof this center of Thasawwuf and Islamic knowledge. May Allah
