Maulana Akram Awan has given nearly 50 years of his life to pursuit of Tasawwuf and Suluk. His power to turn hearts is known internationally and is the result of the company of his shaikh and teacher, Maulana Allah Yar Khan. And his insatiable drive to seek cognition, Allah blessed his heart with a singular connection with the Quran, enabling him to directly affect the hearts. It appears that the message and meaning of the Quran is spiritually inspired into his subtle heart directly from divine presence, and he reduces it to writing considering it to be a sacred trust to the benefit of all seekers of Allah’s cognition. It was in 1971 when a group of Allah’s people, including Akram Awan, was present before Multazim (bait Ullah’s door) in Makkah under the leadership of Allah Yar Khan. It is the generous court from which no on returns empty handed. Those gifted with spiritual vision observed in the magnificent downpour of blessing and favors, that was an honor singular to him; and it was the wisdom of the Quran. The people witnessed that he started expounding Quran with such eloquence and insight that even the experts were left spellbound. Image File history File links Unbalanced_scales. ...
