Virtues of Darood | Musk-Scented Graves & Preserved Bodies: Miracles of the Awliya - August 25, 1994

Musk-Scented Graves & Preserved Bodies: Miracles of the Awliya Date: August 25, 1994 (Friday evening). This episode continues the series on the virtues (fadayl) of sending Salawat on the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), focusing on muhadditheen and awliya whose spiritual states and miracles became evident during or after their lives. The lecture recounts the life of Imam Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Suleiman al-Jazuli, author of Laylat al-Khayrat, describing reports that his grave remained filled with the scent of musk and that his shroud and body appeared miraculously preserved when exhumed 77 years after his passing. Another account concerns the famous mystic Sahl al-Tustari, whose funeral procession was reportedly accompanied by angels; a Jewish onlooker witnessing this phenomenon is said to have embraced Islam after seeing the signs. The speaker also relates stories about Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi (referred to as Mujaddid), connected to the Naqshbandi silsila, including numerous karamat. One notable tale describes a murid saved from a tiger when the Shaykh appeared with his staff; other stories mention dreams, living presence in the grave, and unusual signs at the time of burial like a smiling face and preserved posture. Overall, the episode presents these narratives as examples of extraordinary signs tied to deep devotion and the spiritual benefits of Salatul Nabi, as shared by the lecturer without further commentary.
