Hadrat Sultan Bahoo
was gifted by GOD, with full of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment.
Hadrat Sultan Bahoo did not have any primary education as he spent his
all-time in attaining spiritual experience and Divine truth. Sultan,
Bahoo said: “Though I haven’t received any formal education after receiving
Divine knowledge, I have become pure, that’s why the complete knowledge
manifests in my heart through reflection”. Sultan Bahoo expressed his
opinion in every section of human nature. Sultan Bahoo’s basic preamble was to
highlight spiritually, but at the same time, he also expresses his views on
philosophy and social sciences.
Hadrat Sultan Bahoo (RA)

advised three things with repeatedly. These areas under.

(ALLAH).

(MUHAMMAD).

Moral development in the light of the Holy Quran, Hadith,
and Kalam-e-Bahoo
Sultan Bahoo is considered one of the greatest Sufi
in the Indo-Pak Sub Continent belonging to Qadri Order
he had determined the moral development in objectives of education in his
poetry. We can easily dram conclusion from the Kalam of Sultan Bahoo
that “education is such a thing which enlightens the human conscience and makes
him the upholder of truth. Education taught mannerism and makes its seekers
aware of principles of life under the teachings of Islam. It is the learners in
these words. “ Oh intelligent soul, if you are in yours senses then use your
knowledge only for nobility, righteousness, and nearness to God”
Translated from, Quran-E-Deedar, Page No. 124. Similarly, he says in his
book Qurb-E-Deedar, “The Purpose of education is to attain nearness to God and
enlighten the human conscience. Those who get knowledge for worldly fame, they
are without conscience”.

| Hadrat Sultan Bahoo’s period |
Allah Almighty says that in the Quran: 27-Alzariat-56:” And that I have created Jinn and human for the sake of my worship”.
Even Holy Prophet (PBUH) says “He who got the
knowledge to earn wealth he is infidel, he who got the knowledge to cavil
(taunt, objection) he is a hypocrite and him who got the knowledge to get happiness
and pleasure of God he is a Muslim”
Sultan Bahoo regards hearth of the “Momin” and says
(Oh! Seeker! Your
body is the housed Allah if you see inside, you don’t need to ask Hadrat
Khizar for water of aliveness you have a spring of the water of aliveness
inside your”).
According to Sultan Bahoo, a student
should possess six qualities.1. Faith 2. Self-belief. 3.Honesty. 4.Truthfulness
5. Desire 6. Love. (Kaleed-Al- Tauheed,
page-891). In these qualities, he had more emphasized on morality. He says that
the development of morality in the students interlinked with the practical life
of the teacher. If a teacher’s sayings are not by his actions then he is
not in a position to enhance morality in his students. According to Sultan
Bahoo, morality is the basic element for the successfulness of teaching and
learning. The contents of education in the Sufi system of education were
for enlightening human conscience and makes him upholder of truth about
mannerism and character building. Sultan Bahoo says,
By rolling beads heart is not awakened what use is holding
beads Hoo?
Acquired knowledge without respect what is gained from such knowledge’s
seeds Hoo
Remaining in solitude nothing is achieved what is the
point of solitudes you complete Hoo
Milk will not set without a setting agent (Jaag) ‘Bahoo’
even to red if you heat Hoo.
He clearly said the content of education must foster
the practical activities this is also in accordance with the actual spirit of
Islam. The process of teaching and learning in Islamic perspectives is to train
the next generation to develop morals and noble qualities along with professional
development. The Sufi system of education was following Islam.
“In an Islamic system of education, the role of the
teacher is three-fold,
(a) To prepare and motivate the pupil to be clean and
receptive in intention and attention.
(b) To impart knowledge of the ‘Book’ (the text, the subject
matter).
(c) And to enable the learner to comprehend the meaning,
purpose and the wisdom to the knowledge
so acquired.
The Quran has underlined these three main aspects of the
role of the Prophet (PBUH) as a teacher (Wa yuzakkeehim was yu’allimhum
al-Kitab was al-hikmah)” (Surah Al-Jummah, Verse 2): “God is who has
sent to the unlettered Arab community a Messenger from their midst to relate
and recite to them. His revelations and to impart sanctity to their quality and
their actions, to teach them the Quran and impart to them the knowledge of its
authoritative text to teach them the wisdom of judging rightly in matters,
relating to life and conduct and to be in full accordance with fact, reason and
good sense, and to teach them sound judgment in the choice of means and ends
notwithstanding that they were before, ignorant adherent of evidently
false beliefs”.
