The golden era of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) is underlined by the following four words: growth, abundance, ease and advancement. Wherever one looks in the realm of dawat, one finds the manifestation of divine blessings in the form of these four things. They are present in every sphere of mumineen's lives: physical, emotional and spiritual. This is so because only mumineen among the countless multitude are blessed with the word, meaning and concept of barakat. Barakat is divine and, which like the air we breathe, cannot be seen but surely felt and savoured.
The source of all barakaat is the persona of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) whose touch transforms every ordinary substance into divine. His look radiates this divinity and whose prayers become treasures of barakaat for posterity.
This succession of barakaat began from the moment Maula (TUS) was born. Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA) would often say, "Barakaat have abounded in dawat since the birth of my son and successor." Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS) spent each and every moment of his life in the benign shade of his illustrious father, absorbing these heavenly barakaat, till he succeeded him to the throne of dawat. Rasulullah says, "Barakat is with your elders." How could one describe the abundance and suffusion of barakaat of Maula (TUS) who has completed 97 years, with each day of his superior to the years of others?
A sense of reverence, gratitude and pride overwhelm mumineen when they realize that they are the fortunate few who are attached to their Maula (TUS), who intercedes as the intermediary between the earth and the heavens from where all barakaat emanate.
