Baba Ratan, the Indian and Our Moral Contributions

Around 600 A.H. a person named Baba Ratan appeared in india who claimed to have been the companion (Sahabah) of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and started to narrate his sayings. He attracted the attention of the seekers of hadith. Ratanʹs claim of being the companion and direct narrator of the Prophetʹs sayings have been criticized and denigrated by the remarkable hadith critics. However, some aspects of his characteristics and his narrations have entered the ancient Sufi and moral teachings which needs to be precisely researched. This paper provides some information regarding Baba Ratanʹs life and his influence on our Islamic heritage.
