I am working on a small visual on Sarmad based on a textb book of Perfect Masters

Would it be possible to help me with a sketch or old picture of Sarmad?

Thank You

The Delhi Sultans were followers of Hazrat Qutubuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki and they encouraged Sufi saints to settle in Delhi

What could be the reason?

Anal haq was propounded by Mansur not Sarmad.
Sarmad paid the price for being Dara’s mentor and loyalist. Most Sufis stayed away from court and court intrigues so chances of execution or imprisonment were non existent.
In fact Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya even refused to attend court or pray in mosque designated by the Sultan of the time.

Apart from Sirmid who propounded the philosophy of Analhaq ( interpreted as a variation of Vedant), no other sufi was even jailed, let alone executed.

A sweeping generalisation as most Sufis were unconcerned about state patronage or lure of money. Had that not been the case they wouldnt be so revered by people of all faiths even today

I had read about Sarman but not in such details. And nice pictures to supplement. This motivated me to go to Jama Masjid once again and take pictures of Sarman’s dargah.
