Shaykh Bahauddeen Zakkariyahs teaching on finding ones specific purpose of life. Once Shaykh Baha Udeen Zakkariyah Multani Ra mentioned everyone has two purposes for being sent here on earth. 1. To worship Allah – which is the general purpose. 2. Specific purpose that Allah has created me and you for. If we find this purpose we will be successful. We are guided to this purpose either by the help of Allah or the masheikh tell us to do a particular job and if they do this job then they are successful and will spiritually excel higher. Many awliyah were told to migrate to different countries so that they could preach Islam. Whilst, they were in these countries many people became Muslims and benefited from them. Shaykh Baha Udeen Zakkariyah Multani Ra gave an example from his lifetime that his grandfather was also told to migrate from Makkah to Multan Pakistan. It was a very difficult time for his grandfather and his family because everyone was against them. No one accepted their naseeha but he knew that he was sent there by Allah, so this is the purpose of my life. So he diverted his attention to his family members preaching to them Islamic morals, teachings etc and he passed away whilst doing this. My father also did this and then he also passed away. Many of the awliyah realised their potential through tests and when they were told to do things by their teachers, e.g do this or that. Some were directed to a certain city like Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani and others to the jungle for a certain time. This is where they found the their specific purpose of existence in addition to the overall purpose. Either to serve the deen by teaching people or to guide others towards the right path. E.g Ibrahim AS moving to the middle of a barren land where there was no water or any civilisation. Only by doing this, the true nature of the event was revealed; the kabah was built, zamzam water was instigated, hajj given for Muslims etc. Ibrahim AS did not question why should I go to a barren land where there is no one living and no water? How will my family survive? By simply going there he unlocked the inner purpose. Similarly Shaykh Baha Uddin’s grandfather was commanded to move to Multan from the hijaz and settle there the fruits of which are clear today. There are others who question everything, sometimes even things a teacher might tell them to do. Why do I have to do this or that for example. They do not find the fruits of their specific purpose and as a result they lose out. Shaytan did this to the command of Allah when Allah commanded him bow in front of Adam AS. Why should I bow when I am made from fire, was his answer. If he had fulfilled the command he would have fulfilled his specific purpose and attained more closeness to Allah.
