Syed Zia Uddin Imami that both of them were trained in the company of
Hazrat Sheikh Ali Makki. He says that he had heard many times thatSheikh‟s sister is like Rabia Basiri (3) of her time and at the time of the
demise of the Sheikh‟s sister he was obtaining her great favor and blessing ( Barkat ) from her soul and heart.

Always their hands are busy in the business but their hearts are busy
in the remembrance of Allah. They used to live in bazaars but they will
used to be busy with the purchase of the pearl of singular unity
(Wahidat ) and such good type or category of persons are less and not
many more in the world.One day he invited me at his house for dinner so when I went there
then he welcomed me with his great love and attention in this matter and
he was allowed me to sit on good place . I have seen many tasty dishes
and food items on the dinning cloth and food items were in proper
arrangement as per Arabic tradition. There were many Negro servants
were there with folding their hands in the service of the guests in the line
like eye lashes. That host looked me and told me that these servants
were prepared these fine food items with their much hard work and theyare standing while folding their hands so it is good that due to the
kindness they should be allowed permission first to have eat the food
items. So I have told him that it is a good thing. Then he asked his
servants to sit on the dining cloth and asked them to eat as much as
possible and they eat too much food and after some time they have
stopped eating food items. Then I asked to sit on the dining cloth along
with his sons, friends and other persons to eat food items.

Hazrat Sheikh Ali Makki
My father used to say this matter which he was heard from his
father that the above great Sheikh upon his great mystical exercises did
great efforts and endeavors that his inordinate appetites (Nafas Amara)
was coming under his control totally. He was disconnected himself from
all the creatures. His servant‟s name was famous and well known asBhola who used to cook bread from gram with small quantities andwithout oil and salt and this bread is known in India as Chandol and he
used to prepare this item for India‟s famous and well known pious personality of his time. Half bread will be presented by Bhola in front of
him and Harzat used to keep it before him for some hours and upon end
of his hunger then he will use to eat the half bread. During this period if

there will be too much inclination of the soul ( Nafas) to eat the bread
then he will use to say the soul which is as follows.
“Oh : Malone (cursed person) do not be impatient and why there is
haste in this matter.”
In this way during day and night he used to be contented with the half
bread .
Details about Sufi Tak Tak.
My father used to say that due to instruction of great Sheikh Ashraf
Makki he came to Aurangabad and he settled down there for the purposeof teaching and preaching work. But in his heart there were desires and
wishes and for this reason he was much interested to visit and see all
parts of the world for his tourism purpose. When his secret desire was
disclosed to his Sheikh then he has sent his message by a Sufi Tak Tak
who was migrated from Toran and who pledge to him as his disciple
and he came there from his native place. Like the ruler of fate , the
Sheikh has sent his instruction of training to Sufi persons and to leave
his desire and wishes of travel and tourism by Sufi Tak Talk to him. At
the time of his departure the Sheikh had instructed him to deliver his
letter to one person of black color with normal height and who will be
with black robe ( Kamali) on his shoulders and will come to see him in
the morning time in the central ( Jamia) mosque. So as per the Sheikh‟sinstruction Sufi Tak Tak had reached in Aurangabad without delay in the
journey and had reached very quickly there. As per his instruction he
searched the particular person as per marks explained by the Sheikh
and found that person upon his search and had given him the Sheikh‟s
letter. That person upon seeing his Sheikh‟s writing and stamp hadkissed the letter and put the letter into his cap. Upon this event that
person went into loneliness like the name of Allah will be in the heart of
the Arif (one having an intimate knowledge of Allah.) and he had left his
wishes and desires for travel and tourism of other places of the world
from his heart.

It is said that one Sufi person who used to eat too much food and
never satisfy in this matter and desire more and more. So as per the
Sheikh‟s instruction the disciples have arranged a grand party and senttheir invitation to him. They have arranged a grand party in this matter
with many items of food which were brought on the dining cloth andthere were plenty of delicious items of food were there for him. Like
lover will not satisfy with his beloved and in the same way the Sufi‟sstomach was not still satisfied in this matter. The writer‟s grandfather also invited him as per the Sheikh‟s instruction and was arranged agrand party with large items of food for him.
At last the Sheikh who was Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at
axis) of his time was arranged a grand party in which all his Murids
(disciples) and devotees were present there like Joza star ready in the presence of their Sheikh with great respect and honor while folding
their hands. There was an arrangement of two breads by weight of 250
grams of each bread and which were put before each person and
breads were like transparent and in the light like the sun and the moon
and with them there was pot of the stew (Shoraba) was there. Like the
stars all persons came there and sat at the dinning cloth and they have
started food eating and during that time the Sheikh had looked at the
Sufi like twinkle of stars and their sights were met with each other. Till
then the Sufi person did not eat his half portion of food and his fear of
hunger was cool down. So the Sufi was satisfied with the food items on
the Sheikh‟s dinning cloth and after that the Sufi never eat more thanabove portion of food in his whole life and he was becoming the
Sheikh‟s great lover and devotee and for this reason he was becoming
successful in this matter and he was obtained more favor and attention
than other disciples and devotees.

Bhola To bring the bow which was presented to him by any other person
which was lying in some corner of the house and asked him to hand
over the same to the Nawab Sahib as who is going on his campaign. But
as per fate there was written martyrdom of the Nawab Sahib so for this
reason he could not able to understand the will of the Sheikh so for thisreason he rudely told the Sheikh that he is in need of his Batani
(innermost) help so if Sheikh will pray then his wish and desire will be
fulfilled and he does not need the apparent goods as which are
available everywhere. So for this reason the Sheikh was very upset and
angry in this matter and told him that as your climber of a wish which
will not develop and flourish so he is unable to do anything in this
matter. When the Nawab heard his saying so the Nawab was startled in
this matter and was touched his foot with great respect and honor andhumbly requested him for his prayer for his happy end for the sake of
his meeting with him. So for this reason the Sheikh was kind enough to
him and he was praying for his success in the other world and for his
welfare and benefits of another world. From there the Nawab Sahib
after his preparation of another world left in his campaign of Karnatak
and he was martyred in the war there.

his high level service and status he used to visit in the presence of
Sheikh Makki. One day in front of Sheikh Makki he said something
which was against Islamic law while discussing the issue of Wahidat
Wajud (unity of existence). The Sheikh used to like him very much butas per instruction in the holy Quran that friendship and enmity should be
for the sake of Allah only so for this reason he was becoming very upset
and angry in this matter. So for this reason he beat him with his staff on
his back and he was told him “To leave from this place and next timedo not talk such thing which will be cause deadly poison for the general
persons”. So for this reason he stood from there and hid behind the door of the room. When his fire of anger was cool down then Sheikh has
called Nawab Sahib with his great love and affection. It is known thatthe tears of regret were falling from the eyes so in the same way Nawab
Sahib jumped behind the door and came and fell down at the foot of
Sheikh Sahib. So the Sheikh put his hand of kindness on his head and
has advised him secrets and told him that the reason of its effects will
show that royal crown is like a beggar‟s bowl and in this way the wordunrelated will be removed from the life.

The revelation and mortification of Hazrat Sheikh Ali Makki
My grandfather put my father in his childhood in the cradle of slavery
of Hazrat Sheikh Ali Makki. When he was becoming younger then he
was in his service and he used to bring water in the pot for his ablutionfrom the water reservoir of the grave yard of Baba Shah Musafir Plung
Push. He was mentioned one event that one day he came from there with
water pot on his shoulder and he was reached in the service of the
Sheikh and put the water pot on the ground and he went outside and
suddenly he looked upon the tree of wild figs which was in the
courtyard of the Sheikh and on which there were many fruits were there.
There was the desire which came into his mind to eat the fruits. During
this time the Sheikh was completed his Israq ( supererogatory mid-
morning) prayer and was opened the door and like the rays of the sun he
sighted him and like a small particle he kissed his foot and paid his
respect in this matter. He told him to put the water pot in the room and
see him. When I went to see him upon putting the water pot in the room
then he told him with great love and affection to sit near him and he put
his hand on his head and told him do you want to eat wild fig fruit.? And
he told him yes. So he gave him his staff in his hand and asked him to
strike on the tree. So as per his order he did the same thing and three
ripe wild fig fruits which were sweet in taste and which were like figs inthe shape were falling on the ground. As per Allah‟s last prophets sayingAllah is odd and who also likes old number. He was given one fruit to
him and second fruit to his sister and cut the third one into two parts and
was given that half part to his servant Bhola and other half part was kept
for himself before him and started struggling with his soul in this

matter. He did not eat it till his presence there and when he wants to eat
it then he used to tell his soul that “Cursed one be impatient and why
you do want haste in this matter”. So he does not know whether he eats
that half part of the fruit or he may give it to some other person.

Author’s father in Sheikh Makki’s presence
My father used to say that when my grandfather have shown his
interest to visit Makkah for the Hajj pilgrimage then he went to visit
Sheikh Ali and took his permission in this matter and he went away for
journey towards Arabia and he left me in his care and attention. On the
next day when I was helping him for his ablution as usual and then hesuddenly looked at me and took some handful water and put the same on
my mouth and this thing seemed to me most important than honour of
two worlds and he put his cap which he was wearing on his head at that
time and ordered his servant Bhola to hand over me to my father. So for
this reason I was started weeping in this matter so the Sheikh with great
love and affection like father cleared my tears with his sleeve and sent
me away from there with Bhola. As per order Bhola handed over me to
my father and my father was in his journey and at that time who was
crossed his two destinations and that cap which was given by Sheikh is
still with me and which is very helpful for me in case of any difficulty
and problem like a charm. The reason of sending me to my father is that
he will know that soon he will passed away from the world and he
thought that the boy will be left un-attended and without care and
attention after him.
Death and last advice.
Upon the above event he was called Baba Shah Mahmood who is the
successor and the caliph of Baba Shah Musafir and upon his arrival
there he was ordered Bhola to bring one bag of money from his room
and to give him the same to Shah Sahib.So for this reason Bhola was
reluctant in this matter as he used to go always in the house day and

night like breath in the chest of pure persons and know very well that in
the house nothing is there except the name of Allah the Merciful. Due to
delay and the reluctance of his servant the Sheikh was becoming upset
and angry in this matter so for this reason he was ordered Bhola again to
go inside of the house and bring the bag of money immediately. For this reason Bhola went urgently into the room and he found the bag of
money in the corner of the room and with great surprise he took the bag
of money and put the same before Baba Shah Mahmood.
The Sheikh started his last advices and instructions to him and told
him that he should come here the next day after Iraq (supererogatory
mid-morning) prayer and should arrange his funeral rites and used the
money from the bag in this matter and to bury him in the courtyard of
his house. As per his order Baba Shah Mahmood took the bag of moneyand went to his house with deep sorrow and also he was very sad due to
this event. The next day when he came over there and he was found his
great Sheikh of his time was no more in this world and he was joined in
the mercy of the Allah. So for this reason he was very sad and upset and
he began weeping and tears were falling from his eyes. As per the
Sheikh instruction he has arranged his funeral rites with the money from
the bag and also organized other arrangements in this matter. He was
buried in his courtyard on 2nd Jamid Awwal on 1753 A.H. (May Allah
bless his mercy and blessing on his soul and also allow sharing of
blessing to us.)

Maulavi Khair uddin was sitting on the ground in crossed leg position

matter and decided to stop his lesson and left the meeting place. For this
reason many efforts and requests were made in this matter for his stay
there upon many apologies but there was no result at all. So for this
reason Khan Sahib requested Hafiz Ali Sahib who was a famous
personality of Udgir and who was always used to present in thecompany of Malavi Sahib to see him in this matter and to bring him
back to Udgir. So Hafiz Ali Sahib thought that his request will not be
considered so for this reason he went away from the village and took
bath in village tank and prayed two Rakats (one rakat is equal to one set
of standing, genulexion and prostration in prayer) of Irjah (which prayed
to call back some person) prayer and permission of this prayer was
available to him by Maulavi Sahib. So in this way he was successful to
bring back Maulavi Sahib to Udgir and Maulavi was continued hissitting in Udgir in his previous place.
There was a great benefit and favors available for Hafiz Ali Sahib
due to bringing back Maulavi Sahib there so he told him upon seeing
him that you have tried first time your gained knowledge upon your
spiritual master and for this reason you have called him back there at
once from another place and I have come back here like the soul which
will enter into the empty body and upon his arrival here you have
imprisoned him in the empty house. Upon hearing all these comments
he was pulling down his eyes and submitted his apologies in this matter
and touched his foot with great honor and respect and requested him to
forgive him in this matter.
Late Hafiz Sahib used to say that once Maulavi Sahib was very kind
to him upon hearing all his problems and difficulties so for this reason
he told him to bring as much as lead which is available for him. As per
his instruction he was tried in the village and was able to get one and
half kilograms of lead and presented the same in his presence. So he
wrote some charm on one piece of silk cloth and pasted on the lead withgum and put all these things into the fire. Like burning heart which will
change due to the love of Allah and in the same way the lead was
converted into silver so he was given me the silver from the ashes. After
this he went to Rahamtabad and where he was benefitted greatly there

Some differences of names in genealogical records given by Syed
Rahmatullah Quadri
It is noted that Syed Rahamullah Quadri used to give genealogical
records to his disciples and in some records he will write Haji SheikhAbdullah Kohati and in some other records he will mention Sharaf uddin
Maqbali instead of the above name because Sheikh Abdullah Kohati is
also well known and famous by the following names.
1. Sharaf uddin Maqbali.
2. Sheikh Abdullah Bahadur.
In the library of Khaja Syed Rahmatullah Quadiri , I have personally
seen the book „ Maqzanal Aras‟ and in its marginal note the abovedetails are available. Also some couplet shows the above details.
It is said that Bhadur is his title and it points out his miracle that once
the palanquin of Hazrat Syed Adam Banuri was being carried on the
shoulders of the disciples and on the way there was a river in which
there was flood so among all disciples Sheikh Abdullah Kohati went
towards the river side and stood on its bank like cypress tree and was
given the signal with his fourth finger to provide the way in the river. Sofor this reason immediately the way was appearing there in the middle of
the river. So all disciples carried away the Sheikh‟s palanquin in thatway safely and securely without any problem and difficulty. The Sheikh
upon reaching the other bank was watching that the river water was
stopped on two sides of the river. So for this reason and for this miracle
he told “ It is his courageous work.” So for this reason he was becomingfamous and well known by the title of Bahadur.

The above extract was taken from the book „ Alkalam al- Rafai‟ which

was taken from the book of Maulavi Shah Rafi uddin and the author of
this book mentioned in the beginning of the book‟s name as „ Al-Nifas al-

One letter from the holy personality from Makkah in Arabic language .
„The Sheikh was a flower of the garden of Siadat (descendant of the
holy prophet through his daughter Hazrat Fatima) and he was
nightingale on the branch tree of family of the Allah‟s final apostle. In
this matter there is proof which was found with my family members asthey were from native place of Khaja Sahib‟s ancestors. ‟
Also the holy personalities of Makkah used to remember him with
great respect and Alqab (titles) from which it is clear the above fact.
Especially the Sharif (ruler) of Makkah and other holy persons and the
Sheikhs used to pay him great respect and honor for which there is no
example like this is available on this matter. In this matter I submit
herewith that a letter from holy Sheikh of Makkah which was addressed
to the Sheikh Khaja Rahamatullah Quadiri in Arabic which is available
in the Urdu version of this book.
Status of Khaja Sahib as per Syed Ali Broom Bijapuri‟s view.
As it is well known that Hazrat Syed Alawi Broom who was the
spiritual master of the Khaja Sahib and he was awarded genealogical
records to him and in his letters he has mentioned him as „ Naibe Rasul‟
(deputy of the Allah‟s final apostle) and among the Sadat (descendantof the holy prophet through his daughter Hazrat Fatima) family
member‟s lineage. He was used to write in his handwriting as Mir Rahmatullah. The reason of its not popularity is that Khaja Sahib was
following the style of Moulana Syed Saeed uddin Kashgiri (1) so he
will not disclose about Siadat (descendant of the holy prophet through

worlds. You should know that due to much light ( Anwar ) on the face of
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Moulana Abdul Rahman Jami was a disciple of Moulana Saeed
uddin Kashgiri so in this way he was connected with this Sufi
order from two sides.
Khaja Sahib is brighter than the sunlight. Due to his fair complexion and
nut brown complexion of his color and so for this reason there will be
effects on the flowers of dew and there will be shyness on them in thismatter. Due to the lightness of Haq (truth) and the influence of awe-
inspiring authority and for this reason no one will dare to look at him a
while and so in this way the persons in their first look will bow down to
him. So in this matter it can be said that this is an awe-inspiring
authority of all Mighty Allah and it is not stated the dignity of one in
rags .
Like in the matters and dealings the medium way which is better so
in the same way his height was medium.
Swift speed.
Like the soul of Salik (mystic initiation) he was speeding swiftly that
even the servants upon their running on the way were left behind him

and they could not follow him. I remember in this matter that his
disciple Syed Yar Mohammed Sahib once told him that Khaja Sahib
while holding the book in his hands „ Dalil Khairat‟ (1) used to pass
away from the fields by reading the book very swiftly like Nasim
Bahar (morning breeze) and while walking fast he never destroy any plant or its branch. Khaja Sahib used to read the above book of Daruds
(blessing) on all week days. Also he used to continue different recitals
for every day and he used to commence it after the time of sunrise and it
will commence from Monday. Myself used to hold his prayer mat and
water jug and used to run behind him like a shadow. The Sheikh used
to wear Dastar (turban) like Arabic persons and he also used to wear
Jubba (gown).

From the thirsty person who is running towards the spring and from the
dis-hearted person to the sympathetic person.
From the humble drop of water to the sea and from dry field to the

From one small restless particle to the sun, from one small poor ant who

With the story of grief one sad person is present with the pleasing

From the heap of dust which is in the presence of the bouquet and
from the worthless person to the great learned person.
From scattered person who is with the presence of organized and from

From the slave in the presence of blessed king and from impression

Conduct and character of Khaja Sahib
He was well known and famous for his great qualities which are
mentioned as follows.
1. Rahim (has plentiful mercy).
2. Halim (mild and pleasant).
He was like merciful cloud and he was used to behave with all
ordinary and respectable persons equally with his favour and mercy and
affection. He was used to say that his love and hate is for the sake of
Allah only. So his flower of love and affection was a product of the
garden of love of Allah. His flame of his anger was in fact like the heat
of the sun which was most beneficent and with favours. But which will
only blaze due to the reason for hatred of Allah from the fireplace
and not from his psychological and sensuality.

So he used to warn them that they should not have enmity and taking
revenge from such persons. If some un-luckiest person due to his
personal enmity and will lodge complain about him and when thedisciples used to report this matter to him then he used to become silent
like buds. If such person who used to complain about him when he will
use to reach in his presence in his garden place then Khaja Sahib will
become bloom like a flower and he used to try for his sense of smell of
the heart so it will be scented with his manners and good conduct. He
will not follow the following first instruction from the Quran .

The recompense for an injury
Is an injury equal thereto
(In degree):
But he will follow the below instruction from the Quran.

Behavior of Khaja Sahib with the rulers
Khaja Sahib was a mountain of grandeur and dignity . He never
stood to welcome ministers and rich persons and give respect them from
his place. In his letters to them he used to follow the style of advice and
he never used to mention his needs and requirements to anyone.
The Sultan of Delhi‟s Invitation.
60 years before when Khaja Sahib was staying in Kadpa then AhmedShah sent his invitation from Delhi and has informed him that he has
desire and wish to have his visit there to have the privilege to kiss his
foot. So for this reason the Sultan of Delhi was issued instruction to all
his area rulers and officials of his kingdom to welcome him as per his
status and position.
In his reply he wrote the following reply which is as follows.
“ For the kings and rulers it is important for them to perform Amar and
Nahi (command and prohibition) duties instead of the visit of the
Fakirs (darvesh). For this reason there will be success and benefits for
them in the both worlds. So forgive the Fakir (darvesh) who will not
remove from Mahrab (arch) of Istagna (content) because he is having
henna of the containment in his foot and he is fixed in the earth of
sincerity like impression.”
Ahmed Shah was son of Mughal King Mohammed Roshan Akhter
and upon his father's death he was crowned on a Delhi throne in theyear 1162 A.H. (1748 A.D.). During his period there were attacks of
Nadir Shah, the Marathas and Ahmed Shah Abdali was first attacked in

Khaja Sahib and the Islamic law
His holy personality was like a great sun and which never been faced
the eclipse of mortal sins from its time of sunrise to its time of the
sunset. It means during his lifetime he was away from his birth to till
death he was safe and away from the mortal sins. Even nobody has not
seen him in the clouds of small sins it means he never did the small sins
in his whole period of life . He never left the road of Islamic law and he
was always away from Bedat (innovation) and he kept a long distance
in this matter. He was always used to try his best to follow the Sunnat Rasool (the practice of Allah‟s final apostle). Even he was used tofollow all Mustahbat (desirable things) and he never missed anyone. He
did not eat delicious food as per the desire of Nafas Ammra (self
inordinate appetites). His father left Toran and he reached India in this
way like Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) left the paradise and came
to this world. Usually in his kitchen there was arrangement of the
preparation of delicious dishes and Khaja Sahib used to send his share of
food to his neighbouring people and he was always used to take their dry bread from them and he used to eat the same .

Khaja Sahib’s method of teaching
His teaching and preaching time was not fixed. At any time upon
the request of his servants he was used to commence his teaching and
preaching sessions. As per personal experience of Hazrat Shah Rafiuddin that Khaja Sahib used to pay his too much spiritual attention
towards his disciples and due to this reason many of disciples used to
become senseless and will become un-consciousness.

Khaja Sahib’s conduct and character
Due to the greatness of his conduct and character if any new person
will visit him and if he would say that he was interested to get favours
from some other pious persons but what to do that due to his fate he had
come in his presence like the leaf of the winter season. So Khaja Sahib
instead of taking his pledge ( Bay‟yah) which is a very necessary thing in
the way of Tariqat (mystic way of life) but he will use to benefit the
garden of hope of that person by his attention of Batani (innermost) so
then that person will not need another person‟s help in this matter.

Hamed in Kalandi village in Malabar

meet again. One more Sufi personality whose status and position was
great also told him the same thing before which Khaja Sahib told him.
Due to sight of effects of Hazrat Ashraf Makki in Makkah his hearts
Mahiat (nature) was changed and Khaja Sahib was returned back to
Kalandi in Malabar and visited again Hazrat Syed Hamed with that
person in Kalandi village in Malabar. Upon seeing Khaja Sahib‟s face he
suddenly told him that raw silver was converted into the pure gold andhe told another person that your pure wealth was again converted into
the silver. This may be caused due to the fire of dissension which was
touched his condition as mercury will become black due to heat in the

that as per his wish and desire there will be some condition that will
arise and which will it make possible for the construction by the grace

pearls of counsel and advices and he has told him that your father had
held the Islamic law like tact of lace so for this reason it is necessary for
him to follow the same and do not leave it as he is his obedient son of

Khaja Sahib was completely drowned in the love of the Allah‟s finalapostle. So for this reason he sacrificed his life for the sake of his love
of Allah‟s last prophet and he was also donated all his properties in thismatter. In the mosque of Rahmatabad there is inscription available and
its translation is as follows.
“This mosque belongs to the Prophet of Madina.”
The Ahmedpur village trust.
Whenever he was used to visit Ahmedpur village trust and which
was organized by him for Niayaz Rasul (alms given in the holy prophet‟s name). So for this reason he will not take any income or product from the trust of the Ahmedpur village for his personal use. Also

pray there with fear of God and humility as well as with sincerity and

The sayings of Khaja Sahib about Murshid (master) and disciple
Once Khaja Sahib has explained about spiritual master‟s Kufar (1)
(infidelity) and Islam of the disciple and he was told in this matter that
when the master began teaching of his disciple then he will use to hide
some of his Kamalat (perfections) so this is exactly as per Islamic rulefor the disciple but it is Kufer (hiding) consequent for the master.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1). So as per chapter number one of Bukhari Sharif (2) in which it is
mentioned that there is one more type of Kufer (infidelity) and other
Kufer (infidelity) which is well known and the meaning of that Kufer
(infidelity) is referred as hiding something with his life partner so here it
should be referred in the meaning hiding something.
2). Sahih Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him), also known as the Sunnah. The
reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called Ahadith. Bukhari
lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked
extremely hard to collect his Ahadith. Each report in his collection was
checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain
of reporters had to be painstakingly established.

Satan and soul’s obstruction in the way of Saluk (mystic initiation)
Khaja Sahib used to say that on the way of Saluk (mystic initiation)
the following two things which will obstruct are as follows.
1. Satan.
2. Soul.
Unless there is no control on them the Salik (a Salik (Arabic: ), a
Murid is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) will never
reach his final destination.
22.Khaja Sahib’s instruction to disciples about Touhid (unity of God)
Khaja Sahib used to advice the disciples that to keep the wealth of
Touhid (unity of God) like a closed bud in the pocket so that there will
be peace and satisfaction of the heart available. And if we keep it like
an open flower on the palm of expression then it will cause the result of
problem and difficulties.
The people used to come into his service and become his disciples inthe Sufi orders of Quaderia , Chistiya and Rifaia and they used to
observe Zikar (remembrance of Allah) in loud noise so for this reason he
used to prohibit them in this matter and he will use to order them to go
to the desert areas and do their practice of shouting Ziker (remembrance)
of Allah in loud noises with full power so that it will not reach the ear of
the any person. In Sufi order of Naqshibandiya Ziker (remembrance of

Khaja Sahib used to say that Satan is like a thief and his work is to get
benefit from sleepy person‟s carelessness and in that condition he willuse to attack them. But he will keep away from un-sleepy person. But he
will attack on the careless persons without any hesitation and he will be
away from Arif (one having an intimate knowledge of God) persons. As
per his nature some time he will deceive Arif (one having an intimate
knowledge of God) persons also. And he will be running away from
slapping of Lahool. ( Is an Arabic word referring to the statement Lā

The aim of contact with worldly persons with the pious persons
Khaja Sahib said the aim of wealthy persons to establish their
relations with the pious personalities and Fakirs (darvesh) for the benefits of the world and not for the welfare and sake of another world.
When their desire and wishes are fulfilled then the fear and respect and
Allah and his prophet will be removed from the slate of their hearts and
they will become very busy in the world so that it will be not become
possible for them to return towards Allah and regret for their bad deeds
will become impossible for them.
26.Opinion of Hazrat Asrar Allah Sahib about Khaja Sahib
When Khaja Sahib was staying in the Nandiyal town of Kurnool
district and at that time one Asrar Sahib who was pious person was
passed from there and who was a great holy personality of his time. The
people of that place were insisted him greatly to come into the town but
he ignored their requests in this matter and he was told that he was
finding smell of the tiger in the place so for this reason there is fear and
horror for him in this matter.

(innermost).
See by sight of unity and take out sense of honor from the heart.
In the search of right path leave your Khudi (ego)

He taught his spiritual master the book ‘Lawah Sharif’
His teacher Sheikh Akbar Mohammed Omer taught him the book
„ Lawah Sharif‟ of Moulana Abdul Rahman Jami in which there are deep
subjects (of intimate knowledge of God) and truth , knowledge) are there
in it. When in Makkah due to sight of Asharaf Makki he was obtained
higher status of Batani (innermost) of saintliness and he came back to
India like the verse of mercy and at that time Mohammed Omer Sahib
became his disciple and Khaja sahib taught him the book „ Lawah Sharif‟
and he was also obtained certificate from Khaja Sahib in this matter.

way he was also benefited and got favours from the shrine of Khaja Bande Nawaz as who was Qu‟tub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at
axis) of his time in the Deccan region in Gulberga.
So it is said that one person upon his journey came to Rahamatab
from Ajmer and he was entered into the Sufi Order of Chistiya. After
some days Khaja Sahib was paid his expenses of his journey of Ajmer

and bid farewell him and he has sent him to Ajmer and asked him to
recite the Fatiha (first verse of the Holy Quran) on the soul of Khajwa
Gharib Nawaz and to give a bouquet of his seven Salam to him.
33.
His visit of mausoleum of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Quader Jilani R.A.
Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Quader Jilani R.A.was an Islamic Sufi religious
figure, teacher, preacher and writer to whom some Sunni scholars refer.
Upon arriving in Baghdad, Khaja Sahib he was standing round the clock
there like the cypress free tree on his one foot for favour from there.
When there was a fall of the cloud of mercy on him and he was satisfiedthere and then he left Baghdad.
34.
He controlled his soul during poverty and prosperity
When Khaja Sahib was put crown of the Fakiri (darvesh) on his head
then in his first war of Nafas Ammara (self inordinate appetites) with the
help of sword of Istagna (containment) he was killed the head of DastTalab (demand). In the beginning there was attack of continues
starvation for the period of three days with him. But he was used to fix
stone of Qinat (containment) on his stomach. With great courage he
defended it and never put down the shield of Istqamat (firmness) in this
matter.
When the hardships were exceeded too much one night one person
came there and had presented him a tray of delicious food items and but
in the next morning nobody came there to collect back the tray from
there. Due to this reason his servants said among themselves that indeed
the tray was sent from the kitchen of the invisible. Then afterwards
Allah without source has opened the door of subsistence and which
Khaja Sahib was granted for the public welfare .Large number of
orphan and poor persons used to eat from his dinning cloth and like
Sheikh of his time Khaja Obeid ullah Ahrar they used to praise for him

35.Khaja Sahib’s stamp and his handwritings on his books
When he asked to write his letters then he used to put his stamp on
them and after this he used to write the following in his own
handwriting.
From Fakir (darvesh) of Allah.
On the back side of title pages of his books he was used to write in his
handwriting in his books as follows.
The owner is Allah but it is in the custody of Khaja Rahmatullah. That
stamp is still available with Ghulam Yousuf Naqshband who is a family
member of the custodian of the shrine and which is shown at the time of
the annual death anniversary (Urs) on 25th
Rabi Awwal every year to the
persons of the shrine visits.
36.
Khaja Sahib’s advice to ignore disappointed
Khaja Sahib used to say when if any work which will be out of hands
and if there is no hope of it then one should not get disappointed and
feel on this matter. Because the pious personalities have told that “ If there will be available one breath then there will be chances of
fulfilment of 1000 hopes in this matter.” So we should keep good hopealways from the Allah as indeed Allah is empowered on all things.

Khaja Sahib was not agreed with one famous proverb
One day he was told that he was surprised with the proverb of the
persons that the flight of the Peers (pious persons) is depend upon thedisciples. Because if there will be favour of Allah on anybody then that
person does not need any help for his flight but those who are false and
imperfect and in that case this proverb will correct and right for them in
this matter. Because the paper kite will not fly by itself and it needs and
require wind and thread is must in this matter.
38.
His style of description of the holy persons
When there will be discussion about holy personalities in his
meetings then Khaja Sahib like flower used to praise for them and he
never tired in this matter. For the status and position of holy
personalities like a Susan flower he was used to be joyful in this matter,
he never used the language of the bazaar and did not disrespect them.
The people of dignity and good natured pious personalities used to
follow such way in this matter and not like such Maulavi persons who
will move beads in their finger of the hands and like the chicks of hens
who gather some boys and in front of them and upon wearing a saintly
dress of falcon of the mystic way of life they will criticize the holy

Criticism of Hazrat Alif Mujadid Thani and its clarification
Especially those who are not aware of basic and knowledge of re-
search persons for this reason due to their mischief-making are like the
crowing of the cock of un-timely and blame the sun of sky of Islamiclaw (Shariat ) and the moon of Tariqat (mystic way of life) and Qutub
(highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time Sheikh Ahmed
Faroqui Sarhindi‟s greatest book of all seasons „Mulfuzat‟ (1) presented
in distorted condition. And for this reason we feel jittery and the heart is
shaking due to fear in this matter.
So as per saying about love and enmity for the sake of Allah I am
writing here with benighted and unlucky person‟s false deeds samples so
that the wise persons may reject their baseless statements and shouldthink their statement as useless things. In fact these persons day and
night dream for the wealth and money and they will busy in this
condition and which they will get from the wealthy persons for their
services of the teaching of the Muslims. They will not participate in
sincere and charitable matters.

1). Maktobat Imam Rabbani.
The nearness of obligation to them is to become courtiers of wealthy
persons and who sit with them by touching with their knees in their
meeting places. Their nearness of supererogatory work is to praise the
work of wealthy persons. Always they smoke hookah and smoking of
hemp and they seems in the condition of intoxicated like spiritual
masters and always look at the foot of friends of the court. The mention
of subject and object is their Zikar (remembrance) of Char Zarbi
(emphatic recital of God‟s name) and that will be their second chapter
(they always Zikar (remembrance) about boys and maids on their tongues) and their Zikar (remembrance ) Khafi (hidden) is to try for the
increase their subsistence. Also due to flattery and their demand of
worldly gain they used to wash the dead bodies of wealthy persons and
have taken responsibility to carry out this work and for which they think
it as a great thing. Despite of their above acts they are also indulgence

in these kinds of filthy things and adoption of the slavery of soul. These
impudent people with shamelessness blame pure and great personalities
and use abusive language. When there is a condition from Allah for lost
of common sense of any person then such person will like blaming the
pure persons.The persons of whom are having consciousness like sun and sitters
on the throne and who demand fair play and justice should well know
that Hazrat Sheikh Mujadad Alif Thani‟s (1) one disciple known asHussain Khan (2)
Please note from here the text will continue to page 104 upon the end
of footnotes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1). Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani Sheikh Ahmed Sirhindi.
2). Here it seems that there is misunderstanding with the author of this
book. The real event is that Hazrat Mujajid Alif Thani‟s one disciplewho was known as Badi uddin who was posted on his behalf in the
Mughal capital of Lahore for the teaching preaching work and in him
there was too much zeal and passion. In Lahore, he was becoming very
famous but there was opposition against him. Despite of his opposition
he was continued saying wise high level matters and the disclosing these
matters to the general persons was not suitable and not good at all. So
for this reason there were many big problems and difficulties as well
many objections in this matter. Due to this matter there were many
objections not only against him but on the Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani
have been commenced in this matter.
There many objections were raised for book ( Dafter) part one‟seleventh letter in which Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani has mentioned
about his spiritual progress . The details are available as follows.
“ Upon watching that place some other places were seen one after another. When I reached from first place to upper higher place then
come to know that this is place of Hazrat Usman Bin Affan. From this
place one more upper place was seen and it was coming to know that it
is for Hazrat Omer Farurq. And from that place to upper side it was seen
another place and it was known for Hazrat Abu baker Siddiq. I also

reached this place and find my spiritual master Hazrat Khaja
Naqshaband everywhere along with me. There is no upper place after
this place except the place of the Allah‟s final apostle . There is one place opposite of the place of Hazrat Abu Baker Siddiq which is a very
good place of light appeared there and like such place was never seenand it is noted that place is higher than the previous place. It is known
as place of Mahabiat (loveliness) and which was in colour and carved .
He was also seen him in its color reflection. In this matter there were
many objections were raised that Hazrat Mujadid used to think him
greater than Hazrat Abu Baker Siddiq. In this matter the people sought
clarification from him so he told them it was his letter which was
written by him to his spiritual master and it is must for the disciple to
inform his experiences on the way of Saluk (mystic initiation) to hisspiritual master so that if there will be any mistake in this matter then the
spiritual master should make the necessary corrections therein. But the
persons who made the objections were not satisfied from his
clarification in this matter. Also many of disciples were entered in the
condition of doubts. To this objection he was clarified that he will not
find him equal with Hazrat Abu Baker Siddiq.
Despite of the above clear clarification there were increased of many
objections and learned persons of apparent ( Zaher ) knowledge made
their complaints in the court of Mughal King Jehangir in Lahore that
Hazrat Mujajdid Thani is making such claim from which there will be
problems and difficulties in these matters. As there are large numbers of
disciples of him so there will be suspicion of the government. For this
reason King Jehangir has called him in his court in this matter. In the
book „ Hazrat Alqads‟ Moulana Badi uddin Sirhindi has written the
details of the meeting which is as follows.‟‟ “ The king has asked him we have heard that you have written that
your status is greater than Hazrat Siddiq Akbar. Upon hearing this hewas explaining one example that if you will call some menial person for
your service and talk with his secret matter due to your favour and
attention surely in that case he will pass from the status of Amir
(courtier) of 5,000 grades and he will reach on the position of Peshi
(personal ) in your service and upon return from your presence, he will

again become counterfeit. From this it is not compulsory that his
position is more the position of Amir (courtier) of 5,000 grades. The
king was satisfied with his reply and he did not take any action against
him in this matter.
But during that time one cruel person has told King Jehangir thatyou are shadow of Allah but this Sheikh has not prostrate before you
and don't pay any respect to you in this matter. For this reason the king
became angry with him and ordered him to imprison in the fort of
Gwalior
1). In the above text it is referenced from his writings for which there
were objections were raised in this matter that Hazrat Mujadid Alif
Thani think himself greater than Hazrat Abu Baker Siddiq. Hazrat
Mujadid Alif Thani has written about Sheikh Mohi Uddin Ibn Arabithat we do not require „Nas‟ and „Fas‟ or „Conquests of Madina‟ have
contented us from „Conquests of Makkah‟ . Here „ Fas‟ refer Ibn Arabi‟s book „ Fasul Hukam‟ and „ Fatuhat Makkah‟ . But afterwards Hazrat
Mujadid Alif Thani have inclined his above saying and but still there
were some of his differences left in one or two matters with Ibn Arabi.
„ Infas Arifin‟ is among famous books of Shah Wali ullah Muhadit of
Dehlavi in which he by incidentally mentioned many matters. Also in
this book Shah Sahib has solved masterly the problem which arose due
to Ibn Arabi‟s Wahid Wajud (unity of existence) and Hazrat Mujadid
Alif Thani‟s Wahdat Shahud (unity of divine manifestation).
Shah Wali ullah Muhadit was born in the year 1114 A.H. ( 1703
A.D.) before 4 years death of King Aurangzib Alamgir. His father Shah
Abdul Rahim was also was famous and well known pious personally of
his time and in his teaching circle large number of persons used to attend
and he left the world in the year 1131 A.H. (1719 A.D.).
Shah Wali ullah‟s early education and training was completed in thehouse and most of this was done by his father. He began his teaching atthe age of 17 years and afterwards he went to the holy cities of Makkah
and Madina and he was benefitted greatly by many learned persons
there. He was returned back to India in the year 1732 A.D. He was great
and most well known and famous learned personality of his time. And
he left this world in the year 1762 A.D. And who lived during the
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS

104
104
period of Khaja Rahmatullah. He left behind his well known and famous
books after him. Also in the controversial matters he was adopted such
way that and due to this reason the learned persons of the following
sects were also accepted his views in this matter.
1. Sufies (Mystics).2. Mullahs (One knowing the only religious lore).
3. Shia (Sect regarding Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Taleb as direct lawful
successor of Allah‟s final apostle rejecting the other orthodoxcaliphs).
4. Sunni (Orthodox Muslim).
5. Hanafi ( Hanafite).
6. Hanbali (Hanbilite).
7. Wahidal Wajudi (unity of existence).8. Mutzala (A rationalist sect of Muslim dissenters).
9. Ashara (Orthodox school of scholastic philosophy in Islam).
In the above lines the author of this book has pointed out the above
quality of Shah Wali ullah Saheb in this matter.
1). Khaja Khurd.
His name is Khaja Mohammed Abdullah but he was well known
and famous with name of Khaja Khurd. He was the younger son of
Hazrat Baqi Billah and he was established Sufi order of
Naqshibandiya in India. He was born in the year 1010 A.H. (1601
A.D.). He was getting a chance to benefit greatly by Hazrat Mujaddid
Alif Thani than his elder brother Khaja Klan. He got permission of
recitation of daily practice and recital of the Sufi order of
Naqshibandia from Sheikh Alif Mujadid Alif Thani. Shah Abdul
Raheem who was the father of Shah Wali ullah was his disciple and
devotee.
Syed Abdullah Akberabadi was the caliph of Sheikh Adam
Bannuri. Shah Wali ullah‟s father Sheikh Abdul Raheem and his paternal uncle Sheikh Mohammed Reza were benefited by his
caliphate and his favor. In the book „ Anfas Arifian‟ Sheikh Shah
Wali ullah Sahib mentioned their biographical information in details.
Syed Sheikh Adam Bannuri was famous and well known caliph of
Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani and there were a large number of his
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 105/385
105
105
disciples and devotees and he was native of Bannur village which is
20 miles away from Sirhind. He was un-educated person but after his
pledge ( Bay‟yah) to Hazrat Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani he was
memorizing the Quran and was learned many knowledges. His
personality was very effective and dynamic. In his shrine there weremore than 1,000 students with Maraft (knowledge of God) were there
and for them there was available lunger (public kitchen) for the free
food provision. Due to the large scale above arrangement Mughal
King Shan Jehan was worried in this matter and for this reason he
ordered him to migrate to Madina from Bannur and he was going
there and left this world in the year 1663 A.D.
1). The purpose is that these pious personalities were benefitted by
Khaj Khurd and who were the sons of Hazrat Baqi Billa and theywere followed the Sufi order of Naqshibandiya Baqivia and not
benefitted from Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani and with his name Sufi
order of Naqshibandiya Mujaddia was started. There is no weight for
this objection as Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani was his great caliph of
Hazrat Baqi Billah Sahib.
from Rohela community and for his some mistake like Satan he removed
him from his court. So for this reason that Rohela person who had bad
Batin (innermost ) wrote some useless things in his writings and added
the same. So for this reason some prejudiced persons thought the same
as staff of Tariqat (mystic way of life) and like blind persons were
falling down in the filthy drain of sins.
Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani who famous and greater than the
revelation of holy personalities so such disrespect from his personality
should be done by him which is an act which is not be possible with
him and also such act against the dignity of the Allah‟s final apostleis not expected from him as he was always ready to sacrifice his life onthe blessed sandals of Allah‟s final apostle. He was always busy in thelove of Allah‟s final apostle and also he was followed each and everystep of the last prophet.
Sheikh Alif Thani who made his objections about Ibn Arabi‟s workswhich were like revelations but in his last age in his book „Malfuzat

volume three he was inclined in this matter and but still there were left
his difference with him in only one or two matters. Like Hazrat Khaja
Bande Nawaz who also inclined . If any thirsty research person will
study „ Anfas Arifian‟ then he will be satisfied in this matter. As the
second saying will be better than first saying. The above book waswritten by Shah Wali Muhadith Dehlavi who was leader of re-search
persons and also who was perfect in the following things.
1. Principles of Muslim jurisprudence.
2. Intellectual part of religious knowledge and its branches.
3. Natural phenomenon .
4. Miracles.
Shah Abdul Aziz was spiritual master and father of Muhadit Dehlavi
and who wrote book „Tuhfa Etna Asheria.‟
Hazrat Shah Wali ullah Muhadith Dehlavi‟s Tariqat (mystic way of life
) order.
Shah Wali ullah was learned education of the Sufi Order of
Naqshibandia from his father Sheikh Abdul Rahim Muhadith Faroqui
Dehlavi and who was perfect in the following things.
1. Favour Benignity
2. Knowledge.
For their status of Qutubs (highest cadre in the spiritual pivot on axis)
all people of India were accepted the same. There are available their
many miracles and revelation in history which are well known and
famous.Sheikh Abdul Rahim Muhadith Faroqui Dehlavi was benefitted and
got favour in Tariqat (mystic way of life) and attention from Sheikh
Khaja Buzrug and Sheikh Khaja Buzrug was benefitted and got favour
in Tariqat (mystic way of life) from Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani.

On other side Sheikh Abdul Rahim was benefitted by Syed Abdullah
and Syed Abdullah was benefitted by Syed Adam Bannuri and Syed
Adam Bannuri was benefitted in Tariqat (mystic way of life) by great
source of spiritual knowledge and master Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani.
There is the strangest thing that bigot persons used to say that the
above great holy personalities were benefitted and got a favour and
passed the way of Saluk (mystic initiate) due to the favour of Khaja
Khurd (1) because in the Sufi order of Mujadidia nobody was not able
to reach its final destination. The details of Khaja Khurd which are
available on the below footnote.
If suppose the above same thing is right and correct then thinking in
this matter that those above holy personalities who were Qutubs (highestcadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of their times so why there were not able
to find the details by their revelation in this matter?. As a matter of fact
they have instructed their mystic way of the Sufi Order of Naqshibandia
to all over the world and they preached towards this way and in this way
they have given their caliphates and genealogy records to their disciples.
The bigot persons also used to say that among the Mujadids (one well
known and famous Sufi order) nobody has not attained the high status of
Velayat (saintliness) and If there is progress in them which was possible
for them as they have followed their way and due to favour from that
way only.
Hazrat Syed Adam Bannuri was great pious personally of his time
and his following qualities are famous and well known.
1). Preaching.
2). Saintliness
3). Qualities.4). Favour.
5). Lineage.
Due to his above qualities and due to his light of favour and saintliness
there were many positive results were there. He was Qutub (highest

cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time and also who was one caliph
of Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani. And due to his light of favour and light
of Velayat (saintliness) large group of persons were benefitted by him.
He was famous for his torch of revelation and miracles. So I know 37
persons and their details are safe in my memory. All of them were sentto different places as per instruction of their spiritual master for the
advising the mankind. For the proof in this matter I am submitting the
names of some persons which are as follows.
1. Sheikh Qasim Saharanpuri.
2. Sheikh Hussain.
3. Sheikh Abdul Salam.
4. Sheikh Abdul Jalil.
5. Sheikh Muslim Saharanpuri.
All these above persons were sent to towards Ambala.
1. Hafiz Yar Mohamed Sarhindi.

3. Syed Abul Fatah.
4. Syed Masud.
5. Abdul Hai.
6. Abu Naser Sheikh Abdul Baqi.

9. Sheikh Omer Kabli.
10. Altar ullah
All these above persons were going towards eastern Peshawar.
1. Haji Sheikh Saadi.
2. Sheikh Sulaiman.

4. Sheikh Hafiz Shah.

8. Sheikh Saadi.
9. Sheikh Yar Mohammed.
10.Sheikh Hamed.
11.Sheikh Abdul Khaliq.
12.Sheikh Ba-Yazid.
All these above persons were going towards surrounding of
Lahore.
Other than above persons, the Sheikh‟s caliphs and disciples of thecaliphs in a large number were attained their goal due to favour and
were benefitted by the advices of Sheikh Adam Bannuri. Due to no
space in this small book to mention their details which is not possible in
this matter as the number of his disciples was reached at 3,00,000
numbers and among them 70,000 persons are famous and well known as
pious personalities of their time. If somebody will not accept the favour
of Batini (innermost) of Naqshbandi pious personalities and say it as the
effects of actions then so their thinking in this matter will be termed astheir silly talk due to their in-appreciation and as well as due to reason
of not knowing their condition and as well as their knowledge of holy
and great personalities.
It is a fact that the following things were obtained by Sheikh Syed
Adam Banuri in the world of the Missal (platonic world of ideas) from
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 110/385

110
Hazrat Fatima (holy prophet's daughter Hazrat Fatima).
1. Qatam Khaja Gan.
2. Isteqara (augury).
3. Amal of (acts) Bismillah.
Also some other acts of exertion for Batini (innermost) were added in
the above acts. But such above acts in the books of the followers of this
line of saints and also in their sayings of Saluk (mystics) are not
available there. But all acts are taught hidden as per the saying to keep
the secret otherwise it will be disclosed.
The other thing in this matter is that if intoxication of these holy
personalities is the results and the effect of these acts then these
personalities after intoxication and in consciousness why they remainalways in their lives on condition of intoxication. They always keep
their lips open for the last sip and against this matter the intoxication due
to the acts and upon its relief these persons will feel un-easiness in this
matter and like persons of grief and persons of Mirgi (epileptic) disease
patient they feel in condition of grief and sadness and they pinch their
chests. If they come in the field of babbling and in boast then there
will be no surprise in this matter that they will be killed by arrows of
the looks of the endeavours of pious personalities.The strange thing in this matter that Qazi (judge) (1) who was
custodian of the mausoleum of Syed Abdul Quader Aurangabadi and
whose poetic name was Mehrban and Fakhri and his famous and well
known books are as follows.
1. „ Kamal Meherbani.‟
2. „Asalul asul.‟
3. „Kajul Jawaher‟
1). Mir Abdul Quader and his poetic name was Meherban. He was born
in the year 1151 A.H. (1738 A.D.) in Aurangabad city. He has learned
Arabic and Persian by Azad Bilgrami. His father Syed Mohammed
Sharif was a disciple and caliph of Moualana Fakher uddin Dehlavi
Saherwardi Chisti. Upon death of his father he was become Qazi (judge)

of Roudah of Khuldabad. In last time of his age he was benefitted in the
company of Shah Fakher uddin Aurgangabadi. Afterwards he becomes
a courtier of Nawab Asif Jah‟s minister Rukun Doulah. He has usedfirst time his poetic name as Rangin and then Esar and in the last he used
poetic name Meherban as per advice of Ghulam Ali Azad Bilgrami. Hewrote many magazines in poetry and in magazine „Kajal Jawaher FeManaqib Sheikh Abdul Quader‟ there are 15,000 lines of poetry in it.
Despite of his claim of Fakir (darvish) and Fakhri (indigence) and he
has left justice and fair play without care of his position and status with
the very prejudice he wrote about great Sheikh of his time Hazrat Alif
Mujadid Alif Thani and also made objection about works of revelations
of other holy personalities of the Naqshibandia Sufi order in this matter.
Like trash he has used his tongue in this matter. Specially about theSultan of Deccan (South India) Khaja Gesu Daraz he has written many
pages with disrespect in this matter. The extract of one line from such
writing is as follows.
“ That Syed Mohammed like his Gesu (long hair) has caused impudence
in this matter .
In short this inexperienced writer and like a un-ripe fruit who possess
the qualities of sour grapes think himself as Fakhri (indigence) and more
in this matter.
Among the personalities of revelation no one would never dare to
disrespect these holy and great persons of their time also they were not
broken their mirrors with respect with the stones of taunt and
convulsion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continued from previous page, in the Divan (collected odes of single
poet ) Gazal (ode) there are 5, 000 lines of poetry. He wrote manymagazines in prose and poetry. He went to Madras in the year 1199 A.H.
( 1785 A.D.). Nawab of Arcot respected him greatly and constructed for
him shrine building in Melapur village and where he was busy there in
the teaching and preaching work till his death in the year 1204 A.H.
(1790 A.D.) and he was buried in the shrine area and till now his work

of teaching and preaching is continued there. The Mashaiq (learned
persons) of this order are well known and famous in Madras as Fakhri.
Abu Saeed Wala who is author of this book differ with him due to
his writing of his objections in the above books about Mashaiq (learned
persons) of the Naqshibandia Sufi order to which he belongs. The author belongs to Naqshibandiay Sufi order and Meherban also belongs to the
Quaderia Sufi Order and these two orders are famous and are popular in
the Madras area. In this matter there may be some misunderstanding
with him which resulted for the above problem and difficulties.
The translation of some lines of poetry of Meherban is as follows.
The commanders of caravan of Khajgan (spiritual master) of
Naqshbandiya having possess very strange dignity and so for this
reason they will take the caravans to the Holy Harem (grand mosque) of Makkah by secret ways. All tigers (holy persons) of Allah are fasten
with this chain and the fox will not dare and will be helpless in this
matter to break the chain by her cheat and fraud.
It is necessary here to clarify that the holy saints of Naqsbandiya used
to follow the method of attention which is as follows.
That they with their power of spiritual and courageous they used to
bring their disciples and Saluk (mystics) from the temple of ego and try
to send them in the tavern of Wahidat (oneness) and so there will beintoxication due to the result of the nearness. So un-consciousness of
the disciple is due to the reason of nearness only. As the beggar or other
poor and needy person when will reach in place of rich persons then he
will be getting lost there and he will not understand anything in that
matter.
The great holy personalities of the Sufi order of Naqshibandiya used
to follow their rules to the conception of Ya Basir (The All-Seeing) to
level of confirmation and when they look at any person then due to such
look he will become un-consciousness. So this is included in recital andnot belongs to acts.

Local person’s behavior with Khaja Sahib during his journey of
Makkah and Madina
During his journey of Makkah and Madina when he will reach to any place or valley then people of the place used to think his arrival as great
grace and unexpected blessing and like true devotion of the disciples
they used to make efforts for his service as a matter of fact nobody
did not know him nor he did not ask anything from them.
40.Bedouin’s behaviour in Arabia
In the Arabian valleys he used to wear fine and costly dress and
used to travel with important goods and money peacefully without any
hindrance and problems and difficulties there and no robbers will not
dare to do any harm to him and on the contrary the Beduins used to
welcome him for the grace and blessing from him.
41.
Khaja Sahib’s refusal for alchemy
During his travel and tourism in the Arabian area many of the
alchemist of Western countries upon considering his high level personal
attributes and good qualities so they were tried in this matter to teach
him the same but like mercury and eyes of fire he did not like their
offer in this matter. He told that this Fakir (Darvish) will not like except
the love of Allah who is his real friend and also he like his friend‟s(Allah‟s final apostle) love of great elixir and do not want any other thing. The alchemists used to follow the policy of miserliness and so
they do not give the formula of alchemy to other persons and for this
reason even the father will not teach alchemy to his son and also the
father do not teach this formula to his son so for others it will be

impossible and difficult matter. It may be a trail of Khaja Sahib in this
matter from Allah like in the Meraj ( the holy prophet accession) night
in which for the trial of the prophet two worlds were decorated with
divine lights and were presented before him but Allah‟s final apostle
hasn't shown his interest and attention in that matter and he was proceeded straightly towards the throne of God and it means his sight
was not lost on his way and he was not tempted in this matter.
42.
Teaching of knowledge of Zaheri (manifest) to the disciples
During the teaching time of the disciples he will bring rare pearls of
truth and knowledge from the sea of lustrous of Mohammedi (of the
prophet Mohammed) in his handful and distribute the same . As a
matter of fact he was not a swimmer of the sea of knowledge of theory
(manifest). The story is that where there is love of the sun is there then
the light of a lamp will not be required there. The translation of the
couplet in Persian is as follows.
“It is right that It will reveal the condition by the tongue but it is better
that it will bring more light of the love for not saying anything by the
tongue.”

Khaja Sahib’s knowledge of doctrine of unity of existence and
Mujabbira school of thought
Khaja Sahib‟s knowledge of the doctrine of unity of existence andthe Mujabbira school of thought which believe that man has no freedom
and is only a tool in the hands of God and so he was perfect in
explaining these thoughts by theoretical knowledge or by ecstasy and
so in both these methods he was perfect master.
It is noted that for fakir (Darvish) it is compulsorily that he should
know the details of the above matters because these matters are like
five fingers of hand of Touhid (oneness). Specially to know about thedoctrine of unity of existence it is exactly as obligation because this
matter is the foundation of other doctrines. In the Shariat (Islamic) law it
is Shirk (infidel) of belief of two Gods and in this same way two
numbers of Wujūd are being or existence is Shrik (infidel) in the Tariqat
(mystic way of life ) is Kufer (infidel) .
Khaja Sahib was very perfect in explaining the following doctrines.
1. Maiyat (company).
2. Indraj (insert)
3.Novelty of examples.
44.
Humility and politeness of Khaja Sahib
Khaja‟s Sahib never sits on the carpet or bed spread or with the
support of a pillow and not kept before him spittoon and never used to
see the standing of his servants but like stars used to ask them to sit in
his meeting place and who used to sit on a wooden bed like the throne

of God and always he will use to be away from the desires of the soul
and used to suppress his desire and wishes.
45.
The Style of equality of Khaja Sahib
When he will use to attend feasts and when there will be too much
respect and consideration as well as hospitality for him then he will use
to become angry and upset in this matter. If there will be equal
treatment of all persons like a morning breeze then he will be used to be
happy and his face will become fresh like an open flower. In his
meetings like heavenly paradise in which all small and big persons will
be benefitted by his shower of cloud of mercy equally without anydiscrimination there. On his dining cloth all persons will be benefitted
equally due to kind attention and care .
46.
The Contentment of Khaja Sahib
He was like the phoenix of height of contentment. And he was away
from the world and its luxuries and comforts. For the search of worldly
benefits he never troubled his wings towards the worldly rulers. The
ruler of Kadpa late Abdul Halim was always used to desire that Khaja
Sahib should select some place so that he can do his service as per his
status and position. But he was rejected his request and never agreed in
this matter.

and as they had complete faith in Khaja Sahib. But Khaja Sahib has
forbidden them to come to visit him and he ignored them and he used to
abominate with their meeting.

Khaja Sahib did not accept the offer of Saikal village
Amiral Hind (1) Wala Jah has sent one letter to Khaja Sahib throughhis caliph Mohamed Sibgat ullah alias Bawa Sahib from Tirchanapalli to
accept Saikal village but he did not accept his offer in this matter and he
has thrown his letter like waste paper in the corner of his house.

Nawab Abdul Saeed Khan of Ganji Kota has sent his letter to Khaja
Sahib with much inclination that “ Since long time there is desire inhis heart to see him and wanted to become his disciple due to his too
much devotion in this matter.” Khaja Sahib has replied in this matter that if your are having real devotion and love with me then to become
disciples of his caliph who is posted in his area for the teaching and
preaching work of the persons and to incline towards him is like to
make pledge ( Ba‟yah) to him in this matter.

Demise of Khaja Sahib
He was ill for the period one month due to some effects and
development of an abscess in between his ear and cheek area. He left
this world on 26th
Rabbil Awwal in the year 1195 A.H (1781 A.D.). On
Friday night at the time of Maghrib (sunset) prayer in the fort of Udgir
.His dead body was taken to Rahmatabad during the night by his
servants, and on the next day it means on Friday he was buried in the
courtyard of the mosque of Rehamatabad. On his mausoleum there is
always dismount of the grace of Allah.
Khaja Sahib’s adopted son constructed his mausoleum
The person of good qualities Mirza Shujat Baig who was his adopted
son of Khaja Sahib and who was well known and famous Madarul
Maham (some one‟s deputy for important job) and who was responsiblefor administration with Khaja Sahib and he was constructed the
beautiful mausoleum building of Khaja Sahib over his grave as per Bi
Bi Sahiba‟s instruction and which has become a great center of thevisitors and where there is always lights of Allah are available and
dismounting of the grace of Allah. In this matter the translation of one
couplet from Persian language is as follows.
“As the Kabatullah (house of Allah) in Makkah is the center of the

world and in the same way on the forehead of the world it is situated
Khaja Sahib‟s mausoleum .”
If I would say the mausoleum of Khaja Sahib „ The Globe of Sea
Mercy‟ then it will not be wrong. Due to one shower of blessing of circumambulation around it will remove dust of thousand sins. If I
compare it with a tear of a lover then it will be not wrong in this matter.
Due to the humidity of its visit the tree of love will develop in the
heart of the dis-hearted persons. The pure soil of the shrine which is
source of cleanliness. So performing of the Tamum (dry ablution) here
with the pure dust of the mausoleum is permissible as obligation even
the availability of the water for the persons of Tariqat (mysticism). Also
this mausoleum is the garden of angels and in this matter there is nodoubt at all.
Date of death from Quran
Khaja Sahib‟s disciple and great Sheikh of his time Maulavi ShahWali ullah wrote one Arabic poetry of great sorrow and grief on the sad
demise of Syed Khaja Rahmatullah Sahib and its translation is as
follows.
“Due to demise of Khaja Sahib our hear ts are sad.
Due to his separation there is a passing of the blood from our eyes.
There is too much blood which was flown and was available on the
eyebrows and on pupil of the eye.
We could not recognize him as he was deserved in this matter.
He was lik e a sun who was the rise of the people. ”
As per Quranic words of „ Rahmati Wasti‟ his date of death isavailable.(1)
1). Khaja Rahmatullah was died in the year 1195 A.H. But by adding the
numbers of the date of death, the death year will be available at 1194
A.H. But due to the rules of history to ignore or add one number is

Hazrat Mohammed Shafi who was a resident of Kukan. He was left
worldly desires and greed. He was away from human population for a
period of 12 years and lived at the shore of the sea and he was used to
busy in the hard and tough mystical exercises. His piousness and
worship was reached to a higher level. So for this reason holy heavenly
persons are envious of him in this matter. As per instruction of Allah,
Khaja Sahib went to see him at his residence like Qizher (highest cadrein spiritual pivot at axis) and he saw his door of the room which was
closed there. So again he went to the door and saw the door of the room
was closed. Due to this reason of his helplessness in this matter he sat
there and began his heart‟s attention towards his heart and for this
reason he came out of the his room. Upon seeing his holy personality
suddenly he kissed his foot and Khaja Sahib included him in Tariqat
(mystic way of life). Upon the completion of the stages of Saluk
(mysticism) he was awarded his saintly dress (Qirqa). At the time of hisreturn from there Khaja Sahib was advising him to marry and for the
commencement of teaching and preaching work. Upon his sitting on the
crown of teaching he was favoured and benefitted the large number of

Starvation in Kurnool

Platonic world of ideas and instructed him to commence for themiracles. But due to starvation of Kurnool Khaja Sahib was shown his
miracle in the world.
Once there was severe starvation in Kurnool and due to this
problem and calamity many persons were dying and animals were also
in worse condition. So Nawab of Kurnool Alif Khan son of Ibrahim
Khan was upset and worried in this matter. So he was requested by the
Fakir (Darvish) and Mashaiq (learned) persons of their time to pray for
the rainfall but there was no result at all. So for this reason Nawab
Sahib was very upset and worried in this matter like fish without the
water. One day one Majzob (one lost in divine meditation) who has
told Nawab Sahib like lightning strike that “ Stand and go to see SyedRahmatullah and due to his one attention your desired will be fulfilled.”
So Nawab Sahib has inquired his servants who is Syed
Rahmatullah and where he is used to stay ?. The servants told him he
is in government service and working in some cavalry division.
Upon this information Nawab Sahib stood suddenly and mounted onhis elephant like cloud which used to go towards the sea of mercy.
Before arrival of the Nawab of Kurnool Hazrat Syed Rahmatullah sahib
spread blue sky color pal which is used to cover the horse as a mat on
the ground and put on it one Khogir (stuffing of saddle) like a pillow.
Upon watching his un-usual thing so the persons were surprised in this

matter. So Khaja Sahib told them that one ruler is coming there and to
welcome him he is arranging the same and at the same time they heard
the was sound of Naqara (drums) .So Khaja Sahib went outside with
other persons and saw that Nawab Sahib was reached there.
As per tradition of time Khaja Sahib bend like a branch of fruits for Salam of Nawab Sahib. When Nawab Sahib looked at him like a drop
of cloud so Nawab Sahib was jumped from his elephant and run
towards him to kiss his foot. Then Khaja Sahib holds his hand and took
him into his place of residence and asked him to sit on the mat. The
Nawab Sahib has requested him in supplication for the rains. Khaja
Sahib told him that “ Allah is most helpful , the cause of causes andMerciful and due to his general mercy it is sure that soon the cloud of
mercy will be there and due to this reason it will well-watered of thecultivation of the hearts of mankind. The Nawab Sahib asked him when
there will be a possibility of the rain fall.? So for this reason Khaja
Sahib was becoming upset and angry in this matter and told him that he
did not know the intention of Allah so he did not know when there will
be rainfall?.So Nawab Sahib becomes silent and took his permission to
leave him.It so happened that it rained heavily while the Nawab Sahib
was still on his way back home after his meeting with Hazrat Khaja
Rahamatullah Nayeb-e-Rasool . And Nawab Sahib reached back his
residence after passing through knee level water. From that day Khaja

un-controlled conditions so Khaja Sahib (1) was asked all persons
to leave him who were present there and took him into his closet and
asked to close the door. Upon close of the door he asked him to sit
before him and to start meditation by closing his eyes. During
meditation author‟s paternal uncle was opening his eyes withoutKhaja Sahib‟s permission and could not find him there. Due to thehorror he was beginning to shiver and for this reason he was

was well known and famous for his worship and mystic exercises. I
left the Shahinwari village with great devotion and love like a
nightingale goes to garden went into the presence of Khaja Sahib and
requested him to pledge him but he was not considered my request
and so for this matter long time was passed and I was disappointed in
this matter. One day I thought he was un-necessarily there and in the
spring of Peeri (spiritual master) and Murid (disciple) his position
has become like winter effected thing and without result and facing
there disrespect. Upon thinking the above as per usual practice I went
to see Khaja Sahib and at that time the above ideas were there in my
mind. Khaja Sahib looked at me and told me in your house also there
is a system of Peeri (spiritual master) and Murid (disciple) so why
you have not cared in this respect and why did you are facing such
troubles in this matter. Upon hearing this I was worried in this matter and like the leave of winter season I was falling down on his foot and
without any control I have given my hands for the pledge so Khaja
Sahib with great affection was entered me among the circle of Tariqat
(mystic way of life) and he was given advise of Saluk (Mystism).

his wife the reason of delay in this matter. So she told him that breads
are not yet ready. Upon hearing this he was becoming very angry and
upset in this matter and he was pouring hot soup (ash) on her hands witha big spoon and was cautioned her that till the eating of his travelers the
eating of his food is harm (illegal) for him. At that time she was afraid
and thought that her two hands were burnt down completely. But there
was no damage at all to her hands in this matter due to his miracle and it
was happening that somebody has poured very cold water on her hands.

Khaja Sahib’s crossing of the rising river
When Khaja Sahib was returning back from Payanghat journey and at
that time in the river of Tirchnapalli there was a flood like Noah‟sDeluge and for this reason all travellers were staying there and also there
were no boats available there. The ruler of the area was standing there
like a flower and he was very worried and upset due to the above reason
and he was standing there like straight tree of cypress at the bank of the
river. Khaja Sahib went into the western side of the river by foot and
without wet of his foot he was crossing the river. Upon watching thiscondition one Hindu person who was standing there at the side of the
river and who thought that the river is shallow there so he can cross
the river from there fast and so he went there in the river and began
dipping and with great difficulty and endeavour he was escaping from
there and he was saved his life from the rising river

Mohammed Sarwar’s miracle
In the beginning Syed Mohammed Asim Khan Bahadur MubarazJung one day inclined towards him so he was given him the good news
that if Allah wills he will become Maderul Maham (person in charge) of
Alka Karanatak. So after some days as per his saying the desire of
Mubaraz Jung was fulfilled. When this news reached to Khaja Sahib so
for this reason he was very upset and angry with him and addressed him
that for Fakir (darvesh) it is not good for him that he should disclose the
matters of the invisible. For this reason due to his fear Hazrat
Mohammed Sarwar began to tremble with fear like shadow and felldown on his foot and suddenly started weeping. Khaja Sahib upon
watching his groan forgave him in this matter due to his kindness.
After some days due to devotion Mubaraz Jung send him provisions
and necessaries of the journey and convenience and in this way he was
arranging his travel arrangements and has requested him to visit to
Madras. In helpless condition Hazrat Mohammed Sarwar went to Port of
Madras and he was staying in the palace of Nawab Sahib. Where Nawab
Mohamed Ali Khan Bahdur Wala Jah when he was heard of his great
fame of great endeavours visited him and requested him for his prayers
for the conquest of Fort of Tanjur as this fort was besieged by his army
since long time but there was no success at all in this matter.
Hazrat Mohammed Sarwar as per saying that man is a composition of
mistakes and forgetfulness has ignored Khaja Sahib‟s instruction in thismatter and he told him that his desire will be fulfilled soon. So he has
informed them the good news in this matter and the fort was conquered
on the same day which Hazrat Mohammed Sarwar was declared its
day of conquest and the news conquest of Fort Tanjur suddenlyreached for him. Upon this event he went to Rahmatabad to kiss the sill
of the door of Khaja Sahib but he was turning his face away from him.
So for this reason his light of innermost was no more with him and it
was becoming black like an extinguish lamp and even from his white
dress there was seen darkness in this matter.

As per last his mistake he was requested for his beg of pardon and
submitted his apology and regret and explanations on this matter but
there was no result at all. Whoever has recommended in his favour but
Khaja Sahib did not accept his recommendation in this matter. Due to
not finding attention of Khaja Sahib and due to his disgrace he was fedup in this matter and so he left Rehmatabad with great sorrow and
sadness and reached back to his place of residence in Nellore town
which is 12 miles away from Rahmatabad. While returning back from
there he was thinking that Khaja Sahib‟s fire of anger will be cool downsoon so he will try again in this matter and will submit again his
request to forgive him and beg for his pardon again in this matter. But
he was becoming affected by illness of death. So for this reason he wept
and put soil of regret on his head.Shah Abdullah Naqsbandi who was among his caliphs upon knowing
the serious condition of Syed Sarwar was visited Khaja Sahib and he
cried out for his assistance and began weeping there. So Khaja Sahib
asked him what is the matter? And he has told him that among our group
one brother is leaving this world without the wealth of Eman (faith). So
he asked him who?. And he told him his name is Mohammed Sarwar.
Upon this Khaja Sahib become silent while putting his head down for
some time and after some time he lift his head and hit his sleeve of the
robe on his wrist and told the following from which there was hope
clearly.
He told be satisfied that “Inshallah (if Allah wills) among the slaves of great Sufi Master Khaja Bahauddin nobody will not leave this world
without the wealth of Eman (faith) and hopelessness.”
Death of Mohammed Sarwar.
When the good news was reached to Mohammed Sarwar by Shah
Abdullah Naqsbandi so he was becoming great happy in this matter. So
he has written letters to Khaja Sahib with a thousand thanks to him that
due to Khaja Sahib‟s consideration for his favour and attention his budof his garden of heart is full grown and his faith was become fresh

again in this matter. After some days his soul left like fragrance of the
flower with the smell of Eman (faith) to another world.
5.Syed Abdullah
An anthology of all good qualities Malik Khaja Kuchak and who
was famous Qu‟tub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of time in
Makkah has sent his younger son Syed Abdullah in the service of Khaja
Sahib for his training. The boy was fulfilled his father‟s wish but due to proud of youth and genealogy record and due to incitement of his some
Arab friends he did not let down his head before him with sincerity andhumility. One day at the time of his ablution due to his good luck Khaja
Sahib was found sitting near him and after his ablution Khaja Sahib put
some water on his hand on his head and then he was starting his prayer.
Due to this reason the boy lost sense and understanding and he was
becoming intoxicated and his mirror of Khody (ego) was broken. Upon
his prayer Khaja Sahib went to his residence. Like flame he jumped
from that place and like the shadow he followed Khajah Sahib. But the
watchmen at the door closed his door and was holding his hands and
stopped him to proceed into the house. So Abdullah suddenly made
slogan and began groaning in the loud noise.
Khaja Sahib upon hearing the loud noise came out of the house and
included him in Tariqat (mystic way of life) and surrendered him to
Syed Mohammed Sarwar. Due to his proud and haughtiness Syed
Mohammed Sarwar was very upset in this matter. He took him out from
Rahmatabad into one deserted temple in Anasamduram village and
started giving his attention and was trying all his spiritual powers on
him. So for this reason he was gone in the condition of intoxication andhe was gone in serious condition like the proximity of death. So Khaja
Sahib in his heart‟s very high conditions like empyrean and in its gobletwatched the worse condition of Syed Abdullah and suddenly left his
house and sent some persons who were present there with instructions to
go Anasamduram and to take back Abdullah from there urgently. As per

his instruction the persons were brought him urgently from there.
Mohammed Sarwar also came back from there.When he looked at Syed
Mohammed Sarwar he was becoming angry and upset in this matter and
told him that he was surrendered Syed Abdullah for his training and not
for his killing. Upon this he brought him from a condition of un-consciousness to consciousness due to water of murky. And after some
days he has sent him back to Makkah. When Syed Abdullah reached
back to Makkah and he was becoming the personality of passion there
and was become Majzub (one lost in divine meditation) and he used to
walk here and there. It is said that he used to do many miracles there.

He was like the moon of Irfan (intimate knowledge of God) and his
name was well known as Mohammed Qutub Khan and he was first
benefitted by the light of guidance of Syed Mohammed Sarwar and
afterwards for the perfection of knowledge he was included in the circle
of Khaja Sahib and was obtained great status like a full moon on the 14th
night. Due to Khaja Sahib‟s attention he was improving his status and position very faster than electricity. So he always used to be found
drowned in the sea of contemplation. One day he was sitting at the
height of wooden logs and became intoxicated there. Khaja Sahib was
passed from there like a cloud of mercy and was entered into the
mosque. But due to intoxication he could not able to recognize him or he
was standing to pay him respect there. When Khaja Sahib was seeing
him in the condition of intoxication then he addressed the persons who
were present there that “His master (Khaja Sahib) will require 100 yearsto reach such a high status like him.” He was died in the year 1203 A.H.(1789 A.D.) in Shikrarpur village and he was buried there.

He was a great saint of his time and he was a resident of Ujain. Due to
the kind favor of Allah he was becoming a great personality of his time.
He was famous and well known for fastness of attention and there was
no such personality during his time. One day a Mirza Jane Jan‟s disciplecame to Rahmatabad. On Friday he was in meditation in the courtyard of
the mosque and at that time Khaja Sahib was reciting Qatam Khajaganthere and upon his end of the above recital he was standing to go into
his house so at that time that person proceed further and requested him
to pay his attention to him for the sake of Allah‟s final apostle. Uponhearing the name of Allah‟s final apostle his condition become changed
and he was sitting there and he was instructed one of his servants to take
him in the service of Shah Enayat Ullah . The servant took him to Shah
Enayat Ullah and told him that Khaja Sahib has sent this man to you for
your attention in this matter.The arrow of attention of Shah Enayat ullah
was entered very fast into the heart of that person so due to this reason
he was near of the death.
When Khaja Sahib come to know the condition of that person so was
becoming restless and rushed to the house of Shah Enayat ullah in this
matter. Upon seeing him unusual walk towards Shah Enayats‟ house somany persons also followed him. Khaja Sahib upon reaching Shah
Enayat Ullah‟s house watched there that the stranger was lying there
in condition un-consciousness like a dead person and Shah Enayat ullah
was in condition of meditation there. For the above reason Khaja Sahibwas becoming upset and angry and told him that he was sent that person
in his company for the sake of training purpose and not for his killing
there.

completed his training in all knowledges of Zaheri (manifest) and he
was becoming famous and well known in his skill in literature. Sheikh
Ahmed Sherwani In his Arabic biography book „ Nafhatul Yemen‟
described him as well known and famous scholars of his time. During
his youth period the grace of Allah has brought him to Khaja Sahib and
upon his pledge to Khaja sahib he got many great favors of Batani
(innermost) from him there. Khaja Sahib paid too much attention to him
and he was used to listen Hadiths (tradition of the Allah‟s final apostle)from him. Due to his humility he used to talk with great respect and
manners with his disciples and he used to ask them to sit on higher
places and he was used to sit on at the place of foot wears. On Friday
when Imam (leader) will start praying in the mosque then he used to
arrange and put all foot wears in order and afterwards he will use to joinin the prayer.

knowledges and up to completion of Saluk (mystic initiation ) of
Naqshibandiya he was staying in Rehmatabad and afterwards he was

Vellore. My teacher Maulavi Baquer Agah in his book „Tuhfa Ihsan
Manaqib Syed Abiul Hasan‟, in which he explained the details of his
spiritual master and was mentioned details of his year of death in the poem.

Heart Maulavi Shah Mohammed Rafi Uddin Qandhari
In the beginning of this chapter the extract from his biography book
„ Anwar Qandhar‟ (1) which is submitted as follows for the sake of
benediction and blessing.
After this other special detail which I heard personally from his
tongue of revelation or which I have got from other reliable persons
will be added for the sake of my felicity.
In „ Anwar Qandhar‟ (Biographies of Saints of Qandhar) he wrote the
following details which are as follows.
Fakir (Darvish) was born in his grandfather‟s Haveli (mansion)which is adjacent to a Qazipura street in Qandhar village on 19th JamidalAwwal in the year 1164 A.H. (1751 A.D.) on Thursday after Fajr
(morning) prayer. My father was a very pious person of his time and he
stayed for some time in the mosque of Hazrat Maqdom Haji Sayah in
Etakaf (retirement to mosque for continued prayer) for the desire of
children there. At last Hazrat Maqdum in Alam Roya (dream world)

gave him one plate of earth to him and gave him the good news that the
boy will be born and to name him as per his name. So for this reason I
would state here that my mother who was a very pious woman ,
worshipper , and she pledges to Sufi Order of Quaderia. Upon
completion of the days of pregnancy after Fajar (morning) when shewas busy in reading the holy Quran then this Fakir (Darvish) was born.
As per instruction of Hazrat Haji Sayah my name given as Ghulam
Rifai and alias as Mohammed Rafi uddin. After getting some
consciousness I was starting formal education with the help of my
relatives and till the age of 14 years I was reached with „Sharah
(commentary) Mulla Jami.‟
Hazrat Maqdum Haji Sayah has given me one book in the Alam Roya (dream world) and instructed me for Zikar (remembrance of Allah) of
Yad-Dast and for this reason I was used to busy in that Zikar
(remembrance of Allah). So since childhood Fakir ‟s (darvish) Nisbat(connection) is ongoing and this Fakir (darvish) was greatly benefitted
by his spiritualism (2).
1).Qandhar is in Maharastra state and it is taluq in Nanded district and
which is located 51 miles on the western side.
2).This reference is taken from handwritten manuscript of the „ Anwar
Qandhar‟ as per the statement of the author there is a mistake by its
copyist as he was ignored the following sentence before this sentence.
“ Fakir (darvish) belongs to Nisbat (connection) of Owaisia”
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS

146
As his Nisbat‟s (connection) interpretation by dream (tabir) and
name are dependent on the company of Khaja Sahib. Afterwards when
there was a passion which was becoming stronger in me for the learning
knowledge then I have decided to travel to Aurangabad where I was becoming a student of Hazrat Maulavi Syed Fakher uddin and also
some other learned persons who taught me the following books there.
1. Lower level books.
2. From „ Hashi Qadim Wa Bezav Sharif‟ with its necessaries and
marginal notes.
Upon study and completion of the above books I was left
Aurangabad due to call from my father and I was reaching back toQandhar. Afterwards as per augury and Hazrat Maqdum Haji Sayah‟sorder I was reached in the service of great learned and pious and well
known personality of time Syed Khaja Rehmatullah and for a period of
one year I was under practical training of Saluk (mystic initiate) there
and I was obtained permission in the Sufi order of Quaderia and
Naqshbandia and wore Khaja Sahib‟s Qir qa (saintly dress) and on my
journey reached to Hyderabad and stayed there for a period of five years
for the training work of Tariqtat (mystic way of life) way of the largenumber of students.
Afterwards I went for the journey of Makkah and Madina cities.
During my stay of three years there I studied the following books with
the help of Mohammed bin Abdullah Maghrabi and other Mashaiq
(learned persons) and Muhadits (The term Muhaddith refers to a
specialist who profoundly knows and narrates hadith) who wereavailable in the Holy Harem (grand mosque) of Makkah.
1.Sahih Sitta.
2. Hadith (traditions of holy prophet) books.
He was benefitted by Amal (acts) and as ashgal (recitals) of different
of Sufi orders. Due to the kindness and help of Allah he returned back

from there to Qandhar in the year 1190 A.H. ( 1776 A.D.) and I used
to live there in the service of my father and relatives there. One new
shrine in the name following holy personalities was
1. Hazrat Imam Hussain.2. Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Quader Jilani.
3. Shah Naqshaband.
Constructed by me in which I was busy in the service of Fakirs
(Darvish), poor persons and travelers. This Fakir (Darvish) was married
at the age of 14 years with the paternal uncle's daughter. (Here extract
from the book of „ Anwar Qandhar‟ by Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin ended.)
11.
Poetry of Shah Rafi uddin
Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin in his youth period was become disciple of
Hazrat Qudrat ullah Baliq (1) and he used to submit his poetry work to
him and used his name (2) as his poetic name. Three couplets whichwere written by him and but same were found in the Divan (collected
odes of single poet ) Hafiz and which are added in the Urdu version of
this book (3).
1).Shah Qudrat ullah Baliq was master of Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin
Qandhari and Mir Mohammed Qamar uddin Irfan. Hazrat Shah Rafi
uddin Qandhari learned from him „ Divan Nasir Ali‟ and „Shoukat and
Asir‟.
2).The author of „ History of Qandhar‟ wrote that his poetic name was
as Nataq which is not found correct.
3). In the book „ Mahbub Zhumnan Tadhkirta Aulia Deccan‟ these three
couplets were recorded by Abdul Jabbar Malkapuri.

4).Before reading the book „ Bahre Rahmat‟ , I have studied the book
„ Manaqib Shujia‟ compiled by Hazrat Amir ullah Faroqui in which I
found these couplets and used to think about the 2nd
romantic couplets
that how he was writing such type of the couplets. But upon reading the book „ Bahre Rehmat‟ I was coming to know that his three couplets were
found in „ Divan Hafiz‟ then I could solve my query in this matter that
Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin Qandhari wanted to write some couplets in the
style of Hafiz Shirazi . In this matter I would like to mention here that
after some period of time in Hyderabad some holy personalities
followed the style of famous Urdu poet Dagh Dehlavi in their poetry
works.
12.
Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin’s prose works
In his prose writing there is too much attracted to its readers and for
this reason they find much interest in it. He used to write a literary style
of Mir Ghulam Ali Azad Bilgirami because Mir Ghulam Ali Azad was
very much closed with him and have humble (2) relation with him. For
this reason he was used to be in his company and used to visit gardens
in Aurangabad with him for a period of 20 days. In this way Maulavi
Sahib used to follow the company of his master like prophet Mosa
(peace be upon him ) used to follow the company of Qizer (name of a
prophet immortalized by fountain of life).
In those days he got many chances to live in the company of Mir
Ghulam Ali Azad so Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin was followed the style of
Mir Ghulam Ali Azad in this matter.13.
An event of pledge of Shah Rafi uddin
Maulavi Sahib used to say that upon coming into the service of Khaja
Sahib on the second day he told him that he will write one letter to

Mohammed Ali Khan Bahadur Wala Jah so he should take it to him and
he will behave well with him . Upon hearing this I was becoming very
sad and was requested him that wealth and sources of income which
were left by his ancestors are there which are more than his
requirements. I think all of them as illegal for me. Due to guidance andindication of the soul of Haji Mohammed Sayah‟s for the training of
Batani (innermost) he was there at his shrine in this matter. Upon
hearing my request Khaja Sahib began weeping and he said God bless
you. Now a day people come there to pledge to him and among them
some of them need my recommendation and some of them need my
permission to practice a spell to get control and alchemy as they know
well that Fakir (Darvish) know these things.
Then Khaja Sahib taught me method of Dogana (two Rakats = twosets of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) of Allah‟s finalapostle and he was given his permission to me in this matter and he was
instructed me as follows “ When you will act during the night then
remember all events of the night and inform me the details in the next
morning.” The details of his dream are available in his magazine Naqshibandia (1) which was compiled by him and the details of extracts
are as follows.
“ Upon performing the method of Dogana (two Rakats = two sets of
standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) he saw in the dream
that he was standing in great desert lonely there. One dangerous and
very big black person was coming towards him so for this reason he was
very upset and afraid in this matter. Suddenly there came a large number
of army personnel there and they started killing that person with swords
and sticks and cut him into pieces. So he asked from where this army
came over there.? It was told that it is advancing guard of Allah‟s finalapostle and Allah‟s final apostle is also coming there. So for this reasonhe was very happy in this matter and stood at the side of holy army.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1). The „ Magazine Naqshibandia‟ was compiled by Shah Raif uddin in
which the details and method of performance of Dogana (two Bakats =
two sets of standing, genuflexion and prostration in prayer) of Allah‟s

Different kinds of holy personalities in large numbers were coming
there. Suddenly holy conveyance of Allah‟s final apostle arrived there.The prophet was sitting there on the throne and the persons were holding
the throne from the four sides. When the train came near to him thenhe urgently conveyed his Salam and was busy in too much humility and
meekness . The Allah‟s final apostle while smiling looked upon him andordered one person who was standing near to take him to Hazrat Abdul
Khaliq Ghajidwani and upon saying this the throne of Allah‟s finalapostle was going away from there. He left that place along with that
person to see Abdul Khaliq Ghajidwani and reached in a beautiful
garden and its great description and condition could not be possible in
the words and in the writings.In that garden and in its centre place there was one well decorated
platform was there on which Sheikh Abdul Khaliq Ghajidwani was
sitting there and around him some other persons were there in condition
of mediation. He has remembered his face very well and his color is red
and his white beard , his medium height and round face and he was in a
white dress and due to his light of Batini (innermost) he was looking
like the shining sun. The person who brought him there told him that
Allah‟s final a postle has sent this person to you. Abdul Khaliq
Ghajidwani paid attention towards him and asked him to come before
him. When Fakir (darvesh) reached near the circle of the persons who
were in condition of meditation and with very great fondness he put his
head on his foot. Hazrat Abdul Khaliq was very kind to him and lift his
head from his foot due to his kind favour and attention and he said
something to him for which there is no permission from him in this
matter.
Upon waking up from the dream he has told the details of this dream
to his spiritual master and Khaja Sahib told him that “ You will getcomplete favour in the Sufi Order of Naqshibandia and you will get
great status and position in this matter as per the order of Allah‟s last prophet there is full attention to you by the chief of the Sufi order of
Naqshibandia .”

on his face. So slowly its news of his piousness spread. Since that time I
have become his devotee and followed him like the shadow and was
entered into his service. In the beginning he was used to live mostly in
deserts, mountains and in jungle areas. Some time it was used to happen
that there was starvation for three days. Due to this reason his servants
due to weakness and hunger were becoming restless and will fall on the
ground. But in that condition Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin used to tell themfor patience as Allah who is sustainer and will help them in this matter .
Also it will happen that suddenly there will arrive many fine and

Shah Raif uddin Qandhair’s visit style of patients
He's one more disciple of Sheikh Madar who was from children of Imam Fakher uddin Razi and also he was related to him. He was much
interested in the things which are as follows.
1. Qinat ( contentment).
2. Piety.
3. Advice.
4. Attornment of skill.
5. Mystical exercise.
He stated that Maulavi Sahib‟s daily schedule was that whenever heused to visit any patient and upon his observation if he would say that
“ There should be no delay in the matter of the cure and Allah ishealer.” Surely he will be recovered from the illness. Then in that case
after some days the patient will be recovered soon. If he will silently
then the patient will leave for the other world.
Death of son of Shah Rafi uddin.
When his eldest son Mohammed Najam uddin was becoming ill so
when he saw him and he was called Sheikh Madar and was advised him
that upon his death to bury him in a place as per his instruction and do
not intimate the death news of his son to him.
Upon saying the above instruction he went to Aurangabad for the visit
of holy places. The boy was died after some days and he was buried in
the place as per his advised given by him. So I have not informed himabout the above sad news. After six months of the above event Shah
Rafi uddin‟s wife wrote letters to him by post for her visit toAurangabad and he has replied her from Aurangabad that if she will
come there and if she will not mourn for the death of her son so in
such case she should come there otherwise she should not visit him

and she should not come there. She went to Aurangabad and as per
instructions of Maulavi Sahib she never brought her son's name on her
tongue. After her stay for a period of some days in Auranagabad he has
sent her wife to Qandhar and he was gone to Rahamatabad. After
visiting the mausoleum of Khaja Sahib he went back to Nanded villageand he settled down there.
18.
Sincerity and humility of Shah Rafi uddin
Maulavi Sahib never spoke un-necessarily talking and never used
exaggeration. Due to his humility he was used to standing to respect all
persons. In his talking he used such words of respect to addressed persons that which will be more than his status. Shah Rafi uddin used to
sit and eat with the unclean persons without any difficulty and problem
as a matter of fact upon look of such persons one should run away to
long distance due to their uncleanliness. In Rehmatabad Fakir (Darvish)
was seen by his eyes that he was given permission to the persons to eat
on the dining cloth but he sits and eat with one person who was called
as Mohammed Akber who was very unclean person and at that time of
his eating unclean nose water was used to falling into his plate. But that
person used to eat the food with so much interest in this matter and
nobody was not seen clean dress on his body.

Daily routine of Hazrat Shah Rafi uddin
Maulavi Sahib used to live always in ablution and after every
ablution he used to pray two Rakats (two sets of standing, genuflexionand prostration in prayer) for the thanks (Tahiyat Wazu). After Tahjud (
supererogatory early morning) prayer he used to be in meditation until
Fajr (morning) prayer. Also after Fajr (morning) prayer till Ishraq (
supererogatory mid morning) prayer he used to keep close his eyes and
pay attention towards Allah. Then he will leave the mosque and went to
the house and there he used to described the details and events of holy
personalities till the first part of the old system of time there and then he
used to eat food and take rest for some time. He used to go to themosque for his Zuhar (afternoon) prayer in its beginning time and he
used to stay there till Eisha (night) prayer.
After Eisha (night) prayer he was used to come back to the house and
used to have his dinner with some persons. Regarding Duwami Maraqba
(permanent meditation) as per lineage of holy Sufi Master of
Naqsbandia which we have heard in this matter and we have seen this in
the personality of Maulavi Sahib. Nobody has not seen him never dis-
connected with his relatives. His holy face was used to shine with the
light of Batani (innermost) like the sun. Many times to check on this
matter I have tried this but I could not look at him as per my heart‟sdesire. Other persons have also said the above thing in this matter. In the
beginning there was too much engrossment with him so for this reason
he will stand in mosque to go for circumambulation of the grave of
Khaja Sahib and will forget the door of the mausoleum and went to the
other side. Sometimes while lifting his head from the knee and used to
pray in the north direction and upon knowing the wrong direction of
prayer he will use to repeat his prayer.

20.His meeting with Khair uddin in Surat port
Maulavi Sahib used to say that during his journey of Hajj he used to
meet Maulavi Khair uddin Sahib in Surat port town. Whenever he
visited his house he used to clean his house with hands and at that time
he used to request him to give him the broom but he will not give the
same to him and he was used to tell him that he is his honorable guest
and service of guest is Wajib (obligation) for the host and it is not theduty of the guest. After the completion of formalities of guest work he
was introduced his disciples to me and told me that due to his old age
he is not able to train them. So it is swearing for you so you can ask
them if there will any mistake in my religious instruction so then give
them religious instruction in this matter. Due to helplessness as per his
instruction I have inquired into this matter and found that as a matter of
fact he was delayed and not adopted precedence in the teaching of Saluk
(mystic initiation). From that day there was came an idea into my mind
to write a book about teaching and training of Saluk (mystic initiation)
and due to Allah‟s help and due to the instruction and the kindness of the heavenly soul of Allah‟s final apostle my desire which I had withme and which was fulfilled. In the book „Samriat Makkah‟ in which
Maulavi Sahib was mentioned this event in details which is as follows.
The reason for writing the book „Samriat Makkah.
There was some good news which the Fakir (darvesh) got in thedream world in Makkah during Friday night. I have seen one book and
one writing case which was coming out from the wall of the Holy
Ka‟aba in Makkah.

The Ka’aba.
The Ka'aba (literally "the cube" in Arabic) is an ancient stone structure
that was built and re-built by prophets as a house of monotheistic
worship in Makkah. So I have collected the same with great happiness
from there. At that time one pious person called and told me that “ This book and writing case was awarded to him by the Allah‟s final apostleso congratulation in this matter.”
21.
Shah Raif uddin thinks consolation of the persons as great
worship
He used to think humility and the consolation of afflicted persons is
better than all worships. He never hurt feelings of the any younger or
older persons. For this reason there was too much increase of his
disciples. Whoever request him to pledge him then like (1) Syed Adam
Banuri he used to included him in his circle and show him the right path of Allah. If among them who ever show his unshakable resolute
then he will help him slowly to reach the final destination.
But some unintelligent (2), malice, cunning and forger persons
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1). It is known that there were a large number of disciples of Syed Adam
Banuri and their number were more than many Lakhs (one Lakh =
100,000) persons. He used to include his every student in his circle and
in this matter he leaves the thing with Allah that whether that person is
eligible or not.?
2). This refers to Azamul Umra Arstu Jah who did not like Shah Sahib‟sstay in Hyderabad due to the large number of his disciples.

without Checking facts and search they fell in the drain of objections
and so they will make taunting remarks in this matter. Here the
compiler of this book has added two couplets in Arabic and itstranslation is as follows.
“ The misled people say that Allah is having his children and they alsosay that Allah‟s prophet was a Kahan (soothsayer) so when there is no
escape of Allah and his final apostle from the tongue of the mankind so
in this matter what is the position of the compiler of the book.? ”
It is a very important thing to note that there were a large number of disciples of Hazrat Khaja Baha uddin and Hazrat Khaja Moin uddin. But
many among them could not able to reach the status and position of
saintliness. Because there are two meanings of Hidiat (guidance) which
are as follows.
1). To show the way.
2). To take towards the destination.
For the guidance there is instruction in the Quran that “We have
shown the right path to the people of Thamud but they have not followed
guidance but they have followed the blindness.”
Among his disciples like following two persons many more were
becoming perfect and become well known and famous.
1). Owaise Sahib.
2). Sadu Baba.

Method of attention of the disciples
Hazrat Maulavi in his beginning period when he used to intend to
perform meditation then he used to ask his disciples to sit in front of
him and used to favour them with his attention and then try to remove
their intoxication of the world. In the last period of his life he was
stopped continuation his work of attention suddenly . If somebody willrequest in this matter then he used to hand over such person to Sheikh
Madar. But in it also I have watched his favour of his company more
than before.
Because if hundred persons will sit in his meetings then they will
divert their attention towards Allah and will disconnect from an
unrelated person completely. Fakir (darvesh) tried his best to know in
this matter day and night to find the real secret in this matter.? But due
to the huge crowd of persons who used to come there to meet Maulavi
Sahib from neighbouring areas so I could not get the information from
him in this matter.
When Maulavi Shah Rafi uddin left Rahmatabad for his journey Fakir
(darvesh) was also accompanied with him up to some destinations. One
day on the way upon getting the chance to talk with him then I have
asked him about my doubt in this matter which is as follows.
“Sir, why Khaja Sahib was stopped method of attention during his last
days of his life. So this slave tried his best to solve this secret andthought too much but could not able to know the reason in this
matter.” Upon this Maulavi Sahib told me with smiling that for Salik
(Arabic: ), a Murid is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of
Sufism ) there are two places are there which are as follows.

1. Talwin (staining power).
2. Tamkin (dignity).
And Khaja Sahib was there on the above second stage of Tamkin
(dignity) during the last period of life.
23.
The compiler of this book’s personal event
One day he was sitting in the mausoleum of Khaja Sahib on the
western side in a position that his backside was towards the direction of
the Qiblah (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer ) and he was
facing towards his grave side. At that time there was one condition on
me and suddenly Maulavi Sahib came there very fast so that I can raise
my head. Upon raising my head when I saw Mavlavi Sahib and I
suddenly stood there and after some time he was sitting there and asked
me to sit there . Then he said there was one person who was a perfect
one. One day his disciple was busy in condition of meditation in the
divine light. When Sheikh saw him in that condition then he took out
his sandal from his feet and started to give a beating on his head. The
disciple took out his head from the garment and started with the cry of pain and told alas I was in the best mode of great pleasure. Murshid
(master) told I beat him for this reason only. As Salik (Arabic: ), a
Murid is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism) should be
away from the such condition as well he should ignore the following
things which will not able them to reach the final destination.
2. Wajd (ecstasy)
3. Tarab (joyfulness).

An event of marriage of Shah Rafi uddin’s daughter
At the time of marriage of the elder daughter of Shah Rafi uddin one
person came there while wearing a cap and goderi (rag dress) of Sufi person for the sake of joke purpose and met Shah Sahib and in Sufi
style he rise slogan of „ Ishaq Allah‟ . When he heard this he suddenly
by his tongue of ilham (revelation) told that “ Oh : Allah to make thisfalse person as true as this joker was copied the true persons.” So for this reason that person was entered in condition of crying due to pain
for three days and nights and all other persons who were coming over
there to attend the marriage were gone in a condition of intoxication.
Even Maulavi Sahib could not leave the place except for prayers andnature calls so he left his place and came back there. The cooks were
also on condition of intoxication so for this reason they mixed curry in
the rice and rice with the curry. When this news slowly reached to the
ruler of Qandhar. So he wanted to finish the condition by help of
sending couriers in this matter. But his minister who wise Muslim
opposed his idea and told him to ignore his idea otherwise he will face
grave consequences in this matter. On the fourth day all were coming
back in their normal condition but the joker person who became mad
and he left towards the mountains and jungle areas and he began
wandering and travelling across the desert.
25.
An event of Shah Rafi uddin’s disciple Sa’du Baba
Once there was a severe condition of starvation which was prevailed
around neighboring areas of Qandhar so for this reason the persons of
that place requested Maulavi Sahib‟s disciple Sa‟du Baba for his prayer for the rainfall. He tried his best to escape in this matter. But the people
did not accept his attitude in this matter and they did not spare him . So
due to helplessness he went into the courtyard of Eid Gah (Place of
festival prayers) and he stood there on his one foot and spread his hands
in supplication for rains in this matter. When Maulavi Sahib heard about

this matter he went immediately to see him and told him that it is not
suitable for Fakirs (darvesh) to interfere in the matters of Qadr (fate)
and so for this reason whatever as per the will of Allah will be
happen.
Sa‟du Baba told him as now this slave determined in his heart that
till there will be no rain fall he will not sit and not leave the place .
Upon hearing this Maulavi Sahib also raised his hands for the rainfall .
After some short time it so happened that there heavy clouds were
coming there and it rained heavily streets of Qandhar were become
like rivers and brooks.
Afterwards Maulavi Sahib and Sa‟du Baba reached back to their
houses. All Muslim men and women visited him and touched his footwith great respect and honor and Hindus spread over mix powder of
rose on him.

When he was in his younger age then he was suffered some major
problems and difficulties in his life and which are mentioned in the
following paragraph.
Hazrat Khaja Rahmatullah lost his mother at an very early age after which his father Hazrat Khwaja Alam was married for the second time.
As his father was married another lady and his step mother‟s behavior was not well with him so for this reason Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah took
permission from his father and he was migrated from his native place
Bejapur to Kurnool and he was settled down there in the house of his
maternal aunt and it is noted that for the above reasons he came there
from Bejapur and he was stayed with maternal aunt at Kurnool. His
maternal aunt is well known and famous for his piousness and good
character. She has tried hard for his educational development and
training so she has arranged his formal education and training in
Kurnool. During the short period of time he was became perfect in many
knowledges. His saying and all actions were became perfect and his
life was become a reflection of Shar-E-Nabavi it means his life was

The above Persian spiritual couplet‟s English translation and itsexplanation is as follows.
Translation.
The BELOVED is all in all the lover only veils Him;
The BELOVED is all that lives, the lover a dead thing
Explanation.
All phenomenal existences (man included) are but “veil” obscuring theface of the Divine Noumenon, the only real existence, and the moment
His sustaining presence is withdrawn they at once relapse into their
original nothingness.
The Sheikh has explained him the meaning and explanation of theabove spiritual couplet in the best possible manner and the Maulavi
sahib has also explained its outward ( zaheri) meaning so for this
reason some un-intelligent persons thought that the Maulavi sahib‟sexplanation is better than the sheikh‟s explanation and due to thisreason Maulvai Sahib (Muslim priest) was not satisfied in this matter
and he has not accepted the explanation of the Sheikh. Also Nawab
Naseer Doulah was supported Maulavi Sahib (Muslim priest) in this
matter. So for this reason the Sheikh was very upset and angry and told
Maulavi Sahib that his explanation is perfect well and so for this
reason he asked him to approach in this matter to hall (ecstacy) from
the sayings. So he was started meditation and for this reason there was
condition of ecstacy on the meeting place and all persons were become
unconscious and the Sheikh was entered into khilwat (sitting in solitude).
Upon watching the condition of the meeting place Nawab Naseer
Doulah fled from there on his horse in the worried condition. For three
days the condition of meeting place was affected due to the weeping of
the eyes and broiled of the hearts of the persons. So it is his greatmiracle of the Sheikh so all the persons who were present there noticed
this great act due to kindness and grace of Allah and it was recorded in
the history books of Deccan as a great miracle and great act and also
such event is not available in the books of biographies of holy saints of
the Deccan area.

to heavy rain water the bund of tank of Anasamandarm was broken and
for this reason the village people were worried and afraid in this matter
and began leaving the village and also there were many problems in therainy season. So for this reason he went at the side of the tank and has
called all village persons there and so all were gathered there around
him. He put one stone on the water discharge area so due to kindness
and grace of Allah water was stopped suddenly and also the river water
was also stopped there and upon this great miracle all village persons
have constructed the bund with soil and stones.

became unwell there due to the fever . During his illness also he never
missed zikr (remembrance) of Allah and the congressional prayers.
As the time of his departure from this world came near then he was
started teaching and advices and not nominated any persons as hissuccessor. So for this reason his wife has requested him in this matter so

available mercy of Allah. We are under reda and taslim (surrender to

Once there was starvation for the period of seven years and due
to the starvation many persons were died and animals were also in

the worse condition. So the Nawab of Kurnool was upset and worried
in this matter. So he was started consultation with his special persons
and people of najoom (astrologers) and was taken their opinion in
this matter about the rain and he was enquired with them when there
will be available rain fall and what is reason of no rain fall butnobody was not able to reply his questions in this matter. So for this
reason the Nawab Sahib has called some other pious persons in his
court and has explained them the situation that there was no rain fall
despite of our prayers and our prayers are not accepted in the court of
Allah. He was tried his best in this matter but the result is nothing in
this respect and for this reason due to starvation the persons are
worried and suffering very badly and due to this reason the difficult
situation which is prevailing the villages. So he was not able tounderstand what he should done in this matter?.
Among them those pious person one Majzob (one lost in divine
meditation) was there who has told the Nawab Sahib that there is one
personality with him and his prayers will be accepted in the court of
Allah so he was asked him to approached him because if he will pray
then his prayer will be accepted by Allah so there is no matter of
worry in this respect. So the Nawab Sahib has asked him who is that
person and asked him to explain some details in this matter so that he
could be recognize him and approach him. So the Majzob Sahib told
him that he could not identify his name but he could explain his
marks so that he could be able to recognize him and the marks are as
follows.
1.In the storm his lamp will lit and there will be no effect of storm on
it.
2.His horse will eat the grass and water provided by him and will
not eat the grass and water provided by others.
Upon this information one night Nawab Sahib went in thedarkness of night to check the tents of his soldiers and when he was
reached at the tent of Syed Khaja Rahmatullah Saheb and at that
time the Sheikh was busy in his worship and for this reason he stood
there silently. When the Sheikh has finished his worship then Nawab

Sahib was fallen down on the foot of the great Sheikh of his time for
his favour and help in this matter.
The Sheikh has recognized the Nawab Sahib and lift him from his
foot and asked him not to touch his foot. Nawab Sahib has informed
him that since seven years there is no rain fall and for this reason thelarge number of persons were died due to starvation and water
scarcity. So if there will his kindness and his prayer in this matter
then there will be sure rain fall as you are beloved of Allah and his
last prophet.
And for the above reason he has requested him for supplication for
rains.It so happened that it rained heavily while the Nawab Sahib was
still on his way back home after his meeting with Hazrat Khaja
Nayeb-e-Rasool. Upon the request of Nawab Sahib the Sheikh has prayed for the
rain fall and Allah has accepted his prayer and for this reason there
was great rain fall that all rivers, tanks, wells and ponds were full of
water due to his great miracle of the Sheikh of his time. The above
news spread throughout the area of Kurnool region and it was also
reached to the palace of Nawab Sahib. The Nawab Sahib‟s daughter also come to know the details and so she was much impressed by the
personality of the great pious person of his time and she was started
thinking about her marriage with such pious personality so that she
will also become lucky one and her status will be also improved in
this matter. So for this reason she used to pray Allah in this matter
that her marriage should be arranged with that pious personality of his
time.
On night the daughter of Nawab Sahib saw in his dream that the
moon is reaching towards her and she has told the details of her
dream to her mother and her mother has told Nawab Sahib the
details of her daughter‟s dream so Nawab Sahib has called najumies(astrologers) in this matter and they have informed him that the gir l‟smarriage will be celebrated with a pious personality of his time.
So for the reason Nawab Sahib‟s wife told Nawab Sahib that it is better that we will arrange the marriage of their daughter with Syed
Khaja Rahmatullah Sahib of Rahmatabad so for this reason Nawab

Sahib was become very upset and angry in this matter and told her
that “ We could not marry our daughter in the lower status person‟sfamily and if we do that then our position and status will be go down
and disrespected in this matter. So for this reason this proposal in not
suitable and not good at all. So if there will be any desire in the girl‟smind then ask her to remove the same.”
From that day the girl began to live in sad and grief condition and
after some days she left everything and stopped eating of the food.
So for this reason the parents were worried and upset in this matter
and asked her to leave her desire and wish but there was no effect at
all.One day the girl went into some shrine and during her prayer she
was fell down and became un-conscious and after many cures she
could not become well and not returned back in her normal conditionof health.
And in those days the Sheikh was heard a divine call in which it
was told him to marry the daughter of Nawab of Kurnool which is
suitable for him. Even after some days the girl was not recovered
from the condition of un-conciseness and for this reason Nawab
Sahib was worried and upset in this matter and upon his consultations
with her mother and other persons reached a decision to marry with
Hazrat Khaja Syed Rahmatullah Naibe Rasul. So it was written in her
fate to marry with the sheikh of his time so nobody could not stop
her act and her personal decision.
Nawab Sahib has sent Ziauddin who was his personal secretary
and who was also disciple of the Sheikh and so he went to Udgir and
brought back the Sheikh to Kurnool for the treatment and marriage
proposal of the girl. The Sheikh came to Kurnool and after reciting
some verses on the water he spread the water on the patient and for
this reason she was become normal and returned back in her good
health condition and due to this great miracle all persons who were present in the palace of the Nawab Sahib were fell down on the foot
of the Sheikh and at that time Nawab Sahib‟s daughter HabiaKhatoon was married with the Sheikh of his time.

Visit of Makkah.
Maji Sahiba went to Makkah along Ziauddin sahib who was murid
(disciple) of the Sheikh and Akbar Sahib who was her cousin and
upon the completion of visits of Makkah and Madina she was
came back to Udgir ,a town to the north west of Rahmatabad Shareef at about 45 kilo meters.
Maji Sahiba till the life of the Sheikh always has followed his
instruction and never acted anything against his will. Daily at the
time of his return to the house she used to stand holding the water jug
in her hand.One day in the rainy season there was severe thundering
and lightening strike so she was afraid of it. The sheikh came back to
the house and he could not find Maji Sahiba at her usual place with
holding the water jug in her hand there and so he asked her reason inthis matter that why she did not wait for him today.? And she was
replied him that due to lightening strike and thundering she was
afraid in this matter and not able to wait for him in the rainy season
.So the Sheikh has called lightening there and asked to see it and
from that day Maji Sahiba‟s fear was no more with her. The meaning of Maji Sahiba.
As per tradition it is well known and famous that once Maji Sahiba
has requested the Sheikh for her desire and wish for the children so
that their names will remain in the world and someone will call her
mother. So the Sheikh told her “ Oh: Habiba as per your thinking if there will be our children then it will be no guarantee that they will
become good and pious persons then our status and position as well
as our name will become worse. Now it is fact that the number of
persons who called you as Maji Sahiba are not one, two,100,
200,1000, 2000, but are more than millions and who will remain till
the day of judgement. On saying this he told her to look at her
backside so she has looked at her backside as per his instruction andhave seen the large numbers persons which were there and their
numbers were more than many millions so the Sheikh has explained
that all of them belongs to the following categories.
1.Disciples (murids).
2.Devotees.

3.Visitors.
And all of them till the day of judgement will call you as Maji
Sahiba so you should treat all of them as your children and also all of
them are dear to me more than my children and from that day all
special and general persons used to began calling her as Maji Sahiba.As a matter of fact he used to love each and every visitor of his
mausoleum and Inshallah (if Allah wills) this tradition and practice
will continue till the day of judgement.
Miracle.
From the mausoleum‟s public kitchen house daily the soup (ash) isused to be distributed to all poor and needy persons. once the Sheikh
was present in the mosque and the poor persons were gathered at the
public kitchen to receive the soup (ash) so for this reason Maji Sahibahas called the Sheikh for the distribution work of soup (ash) but due
to some other work the Sheikh could not came there to distributed the
soup (ash) to the poor persons. Due to delay in this matter Maji
Saheba has called the servants of the mausoleum to bring
immediately the big spoon for the distribution of soup (ash) and the
person who went to bring the spoon but he was disappeared and
could not came back there. Due to this reason of delay of that person
and delay in the distribution of soup (ash) to the poor persons she
has put her hand in the hot cauldron and was started distribution of
hot soup (ash) to the poor persons. The Sheikh has came there later
and was thought that her hand were damaged due to hot soup (ash)
distribution from the hot cauldron and but he has found her hand
was severally cold and there was such cold that for which nobody
could not bear it.

During Maji Sahib‟s life period the Sheikh left this mortal world.Maji Saheba has arranged for making the symbol of the moon on the
mausoleum upon melting away all her jewellery and also she has
constructed the mausoleum building of the Sheikh from her money.
She has organized the arrangements to celebrate the Urs (deathanniversary) which takes place on the 24 to 29 day Rabil Awwal of
Muslim calendar at the famous dargah (shrine) of Syed Khaja
Rahmatullah Naibe Rasool in Rahmatabad every year and also arrange
the ceremony of sandal every year on 25th
of Rabbil Awwal and this
celebration is still continued in the shrine.
Death.
She was died after 18 years of the Sheikh‟s death. She has instructed
that she should be buried outside of the mausoleum of the Sheikh in building of Milad Khana as the status and position of the Sheikh is very
high with Allah and she is not having such status and position so for this
reason it is not suitable for her burial in the mausoleum beside the grave
of the great Sheikh of his time.
She was left this world after 18 years of Sheikh‟s death on 7thRabbil
Awwal in the year 1213 A.H.
There was indication from the Sheikh to the pious personalities of
that time that as his wife Habiba was very pious lady of her time so for
this reason she should be buried at the side of his grave in the
mausoleum building. So as per his instruction she was buried at the side
of the Sheikh‟s grave. Every year on 7
thRabil Awwal the ceremony of sandal of Maji
Saheba was used to celebrate on the grand scale in which many
thousands devotees used to attend the ceremony and get sadat (felicity)
of it.
The Sandal Maali of Hazrat Syeda Habeeba Khatoon is celeberated onthe 2nd or 3rd day of the Islamic month of Rabbi ul Awwal. It also
happens to be the only time of the year when the female devotees are
allowed to enter into the inner part of the mausoleum (wherein lies the
mazars (graves) of Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah and Maa Habeeba). The
event being the first among the chain of ritualistic events that are

performed during the month in commemoration of the yearly Sandal and
Urs celebrations of Hazrat Khaja Nayab-E- Rasool and Ammajan. A lot
of people travel to Rahmatabad to attend this event.
Every year on the 7th, 8th and 9th day of the Islamic month of Rabbi-
uL-Awwal, the yearly Sandal and Urs of AMMAJAN is celebrated withgreat religious fervor, while that of Hazrat Syed Khaja Rahmatullah
Naib-E-Rasool is celebrated on the 25th
, 26th
and 27th
of the same month.
Conclusion.
To write about this great Sufi saint is not only it is difficult and but it
is very hard task as he was not only a great pious personality of his time
in the area of Deccan (South India) but he was also great holy person of
his time who did many great miracles so in brief he was Qu‟tub (highest
cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time in the Deccan region (SouthIndia).
So in brief he did also many great endeavors for the preaching and
propagation work of Islam in Deccan (South India) area and around this
region and there was no such personality during his time.
On all week days the visitors in large numbers will used to visit the
shrine and pray Allah for the fulfillment of their desires and wishes for
the sake of the Sheikh‟s name . During the Urs time (death anniversary ) the visitors in large number
will visit the shrine for the fulfillment of their desires and wishes for the
sake of the Sheikh‟s name and offer floral garlands.

Preface
This book is very old and which was written and published in the year
1334 Hijri. It means it was published one hundred years ago by Abul
Hasnat Syed Abdullah Shah of Hyderabad.This is a small book in which there are brief biographies of 33 holy
Sufi saints are added and also in this book there are some great
achievements which are not yet known to the general persons are
published in a very interesting style so for this reason the readers will
find great interest and attention in this matter .
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts reading this
book‟s first chapter and will not stop its reading till they will reach its
last chapter as in this book some interesting events and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy saints are added and these holy
saints have passed away from the world some 100 years ago.
Even though this is small book but due to its importance it is so great
due to coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it
so it is like an ocean of knowledge and information of holy saints and
they have passed away from the world upon doing their great
endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation
work of Islam in the foreign lands so this book is small one but it
will present the ocean of knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right path of Islam.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book „Muslimsaints and Mystics„ (Tadhkirtal Auliya by Farid al din Attar) which isvery famous in the Western world among the English knowing persons.
So for this reason there will be some small differences in it while
comparing with the Urdu books and its literature. The aim of this book
is to present in the Western world where there is great search and
demand of the books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who livedand spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
religion in all corners of the world as per tradition and practice of
Allah‟s last prophet. In the last pages of this book, author‟s brief biography and a picture of

Author’s brief biography.
MUHADDITH-E-DECCAN HAZRAT MOULANA SYED ABDULLAH
SHAH
Moulana Abul Hasnath Syed Abdullah Shah, alias Muhaddith-e-
Deccan, was born in Hussaini Alam, Hyderabad on 10 Zil Hajj, 1292
AH or 6 Feb 1872 AD. Moulana Syed Muzaffer Hussain Ibn Syed
Yaqoob of Naldrug was his father. Since the migration of his ancestor,
Hazrat Syed Ali, this family has been the recipient of a land grant from
Adil Shah me, the ruler of Bijapur. The daughter of Hazrat Gul BadshahWas his mother.
In keeping with the traditions of the then society, this young Sufi
didn't attend any formal school for his education and training. He
received his elementary education and lessons in Persian from his father;
logic and philosophy from Moulana Mansoor Ali Khan; the Quranic
sciences and other subjects from Moulana Anwarulla Khan;
jurisprudence from Moulana Habeebur Rahman Saharanpuri; and the
science of Hadith and literature from Moulana Hakim Abdur Rahman
Saharanpuri.
Even while a student, he started teaching, in both formal and non-
formal ways. That time this was in the form of adult education. Most of
his audience consisted of elite and the common people. He began his
teaching career at the mosque named Ali Aqa at Hussaini
Alam,Hyderabad, and continued it uninterrupted till his last breath.
At first he became the disciple of Hazrat Miskeen Shah. On the death
of the latter, he approached Hazrat Syed Muhammad Badshah Bukhari,
who was a renowned spiritual personality of that time. The latter
practice both the Qadriya and the Naqshbandiya Sufi path. So long as his
spiritual mentor was alive, he would go to him daily walking about 4

193
193
miles whatever the climatic situation. This practice went on for about 20
years.
Until the prayer he would be engaged in giving speeches and
individual attention to his disciples, responding to miscellaneousrequests for help, and so on. The time between Asr and Maghrib and
Awwabeen prayers, he would have dinner, attend to the letters addressed
to him and dictate letters of advice. At 10 he would go to the mosque for
Isha prayers and return home at 12. He would sleep for three hours.
From 2 Am till Fajr prayer he would be busy with Tahajjud prayers. In
short, he rested for three hours and the rest 21 hours he devoted to God
And His creatures. One of his miracles observed by a great number of
his disciples is worth mentioning here.
In the physical presence of their sheikh, they felt their heart stirred
and incited to begin the remembrance of God. They have also observed
that the end of their sheikh's followers was happy and peaceful. The
latter died with the blessed phrase, La Ilaha Illallah (there is no God but
Allah), on their lips at their last moment.
When his contemporary Sheikh Hazrat Syed Muhammad Badshah
Hussaini died on 25th of August, Hazrat Abdullah Shah predicted that
he too would leave this mortal world in two days. His prediction came
true. With his death on 18th Rabiuthani, 1384 AH, or 1964 AD, at the
age of 92 years, the world lost a great spiritual leader and a scholar.
The funeral procession was the biggest of its kind in Hyderabad attended
by about 2.5 lakh people. He is buried in Naqshbandi Chaman, Misri
Gunj, Hyderabad. The present caliphate (khalifa) and successor of his
mission is his son, Abul Khair Hadhrat Syed Rahmatullah Shah
Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Qadri.
Abul Hasanat Sayyid Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Qadiri , popularly
known as Hadrat Abdullah Shah Sahib, was a scholar of Islam and
spiritual reformer. He is more particularly known as a muhaddith (one

who specializes in Hadith literature), horrifically as Muhaddith-e Deccan
(the Muhaddith of the Deccan). A prolific writer of Islamic sciences, he
wrote extensively on fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and compiled his best-
known work Zujajat al-Masabih in five volumes. A unique and
comprehensive collection of Hadiths pertaining to the Hanafi school of law, the book is considered a magnum opus in hadith and Fiqh literature.
As a mufassir (Qur'anic exegite) and expounder of other Islamic
religious texts, he was one of the most celebrated Sufis produced by
India in the 20th century. He is popularly considered to be one of the
saints-scholars among the masses of South India, particularly
Hyderabad.
Birth
The Abdullah Shah was born in Husaini 'Alam, Hyderabad, on 10th of
Dhu'l Hijjah, 1292 (AH) or 6 February 1872 (CE). His father was

the migration of his ancestor, Hazrat Sayyid Ali, this family has been the
recipient of a land grant from Adil Shah I, the ruler of Bijapur . The
daughter of Gul Badshah was his mother.

did not attend any formal school for his education and training. He
received his elementary education and lessons in Persian from his father;
logic and philosophy from Mawlana Mansur Ali Khan; the Qur'anic
sciences and other subjects from Shaykh al-Islam Hafiz Anwarulla Khan
Faruqi, the founder of Jamia Nizamia, jurisprudence from Mawlana

Muhammad Badshah Bukhari, who was a renowned spiritual personality
of that time. The latter practiced both the Qadiriyyah and the
Naqshbandiyyah Sufi Tariqahs or paths. So long as his spiritual mentor
was alive, whatever the climate would be, he would see him on a daily
basis walking about four miles serve him in his midnight special ritual
prayers, the Tahajjud, assisting his spiritual master in performing the
ablution and other prayer rituals. This practice went on for about twentyyears until the death of Bukhari. During the lifetime of his spiritual
master, Abdullah Shah did not like to have his own spiritual disciples
(murids). The number of disciples in his own lifetime, however, reached
in hundreds and thousands. He consistently followed the Hanafi school
of jurisprudence and the practices of his spiritual master by initiating his
disciples both in the Qadiriyyah and Naqshbandiya orders.
Daily schedule.
Abdullah Shah would begin his day early in the morning from the Fajr
prayer; he would then listen to his disciples. Next he would meet the
public and attend to individual grievances till 9 o'clock in the morning.
After Ishraq prayers, for breakfast and other personal needs, he would
spare a few minutes. For almost 10 A.M to 2 P.M, he would have a

Salman Farsi
His status and position is very greatly as Allah‟s last prophet said abouthim which is as follows.
“ Salman belongs to Ahle Bait. ”(Members of the holy prophet „sfamily comprising Hazrat Fatima, Hazrat Ali and their children).
Salam Farsi has reported the tradition of holy prophet which is as
follows.
“ Oh : People should take the share from the world as much as the provision which is required for the horsemen for his journey. “
He used to say “ Oh: the lovers of the world think it and it is a verystrange thing that you have longer lasting desire and wishes in the world
but as a matter of fact the death is chasing you but you are careless one
in this respect but the death is not careless in this matter. You are
always living in the condition of happiness and pleasure so you never
think whether your Lord is happy or angry with you. ? „‟ He was died in the year 33 Hijri during the caliphate of Usman Bin
Afan when he was 250 old years .
During his life period he has told Abdullah Bin Salam that among
both of us one who ever will die first then he should come in the dream
of another and reveal the details of things which will happen upon the
death. Abdullah Bin Salam asked him what things a dead person can do
and whether he can go into the dream of anybody.? So he has replied
that yes a Muslim person can go anywhere in the earth and sky but non -
Muslim person upon his death will be kept in one place only.
Abdullah bin Salam has reported that upon the death of Salman
Farsi once he was sleeping and saw him in his dream and he (Salman)
said Asslam Alaikum (peace be upon you) and he has replied him WaLaikum Salam ( peace be upon you ) and he has asked him how Allah
has blessed him.? And he replied that Allah granted his mercy and
blessing. But two things which were helped him during the difficult
situation which are as follows.

He was followed the religion of Imam Abu Hanifa and many of theMashiqs (learned persons) of the Naqshbandiya Sufi Order have also
followed Imam Abu Hanifa. He has got spiritual knowledge from Khaja
Mahmood Baba Siamese and has got a spiritual education from Amir
Kalal and he also has got spiritual knowledge from Abdul Khaliq
Ghadjwani .
From Khaja Mahmood Anjir to Khaja Amir Kalal all of were great
masters of the Naqshbandiya Sufi Order and all of them followed Zikr (
remembrance of Allah) of Jhari (loud voice ) and Khafi (hidden). Butduring the period of Khaja Baha uddin Naqshbandi , Abdul Khaliq
khadjwani„s spirit has instructed him to discontinue Zik ar
(remembrance of Allah) Jahri (loud voice ) and to continue only Zikar
(remembrance of Allah) Khafi ( hidden). So from that time he was
adopted Zikar Khafi (hidden method of remembrance of Allah ) and so
he has instructed his followers of this great chain in this matter.
Somebody has asked Shah Naqshband that there is no Zikar
(remembrance of Allah) Jahri ( loud voice) or Khilwat ( sitting in
solitude ) in your Sufi Order so please explain on which rules and
regulations your order depend upon it ?, so in this matter he has
explained the following details.
“ That to live with mankind in the Zahri ( manifest ) way but do notleave Batin ( innermost) with Allah.”
Once he saw a chameleon who was very busy watching the sun‟sshining beauty so he sat before him with respect and told him “Oh : thelover of sun your love is so great. So you pray Allah for the following
things which you have possess with you in your love with the sun sothat such following things will be available with me for my love of
Allah.
1.Shahud (deponent).

So that with the help of above these two things he can get the love of
Allah. Upon his request the chameleon turned his face towards him and
saw him and he has stood there and prayed for him while looking at the
sky for the longest time. When the chameleon was praying he was
saying Amin (amen). Since that time there has been improvement of hisMushada (observation ) to a great extent.
So think about his great position of selflessness and which was same
like a pious person (arif) and who like a Mustaqi (a patient who suffer
from thirst) and upon giving him everything still he will feel thirsty.
He followed the sunnat (practice) of Allah‟s last prophet in thecomplete way. He used to recite day and night Rabi Zidni Elman ( Oh :

He was died on 3rd

Khaja Obaidullah Ahrar
There was passion (Jazba) on his father before four months when he
was come into the womb of her mother. When the pregnancy (Hamal)
was developed then such condition was becoming less. His grandfather
has given all things of Velayat (saintliness) to him. Since childhood he
has got a relation of Huzur (presence) and May eats (company) with
Allah. He was used to say that since adulthood he was used to think that
everybody will have such condition of Huzuri (presence) with Allah. But
at a later stage he came to know that those who are lucky and fortunate
person only will have such condition with Allah to have Huzuri
(presence ) and Mayeat (company). But other persons are not able to
have such grand and great position with Allah.He never accepted gifts and presents from anybody or sincere persons.
He said due to Kashf (revelation ) of graves, the spirit of grave person
will come out in the shape of Tashkal (change) instead of Surat of
Mashalia (original) and Satan has got this ability of power of Tashakal
(change) so in such case it is difficult to differentiate whether it is grave
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 226/385
226
226
person‟s shape or it is Satan?. So for this reason in the Sufi Order of Naqshbandia this method is ignored and instead of this they conduct
Maraqaba (meditation ) while sitting near the grave and while leaving
all connections and conditions to watch the Zahur‟s (presence) condition
and with this they will able to know about the grave person‟s details andinformation which are required by them. To know about the details of
living (alive) unknown (Ajnabi) person they also apply the above
method in this matter.
His great sayings are as follows.
1. There are two kinds of flavors of Allah.
A. For the general persons , the grace is granted to them despite of their
sins and faults.
B. For the special persons their condition is not disturbed despite of their mistakes.
2. Friends, try to avoid for Nikah (marriage) and if any persons has
pressure from his Nafas (soul ) then in such case recite Astagfar (beg
pardon of Allah) in this matter. And if there is no benefit from the above
method then he should move in such place where there is no women will
be available. If still there will no benefit in this matter of the above
method, so to keep always fasts and eat less food and so in this way to
control sex pressure in this matter. If there will be still more pressure of
sex by the following above different methods and if also there is no
control on it than one should visit the graveyard and say “ Oh : my Nafas (soul) see all of them who were once living in the world and
they are now in the soil. There were used to live in this world in the
shape of beautiful and lovely moon like maidens and where they are
now ? And where their lovely actions and deeds had gone. ? They are
now living in a corner of their graves in lonely condition. Now also the
men of the past do not have beautiful and lovely maidens and their
lovely connections.Due to their Nikah (marriage) which had caused the difficulties and
problems in the world and if they would have a spiritual connection with
the holy saints then they will have great positions in their graveyards.
In the graveyards there are so many holy saints are buried there so we
should take their help to avoid Nikah (marriage ) and so in this matter
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 227/385
227
227
we will able to get their help from their holy graves. If still there is
thought of Nikah (marriage ) in your mind then in such case you can
get help from living holy saint in this matter and they will decrease your
pressure of sex so in this way you will have light pressure instead of
high pressure for your Nikah (marriage ) .3. The disciple should always take care for the actions and Zikar
(remembrance ) of Allah and not to think about Huzur (presence ) and
Jamit (peace) as Huzr (presence ) and Jamit (peace ) is reward from
Allah and it is rare and it out of reach of the persons. But actions and
Zikar (remembrance ) of Allah are Kasbi (skills) and it is within the
reach of the persons.
But due to the following actions and Zikar (remembrance ) of Allah
which will lead us towards Huzur (presence ) and Jam it (peace). So oneday with the help of the actions and Zikar (remembrance ) of Allah
one can get Huzur (presence ) and Jamit (peace ) surely.
4. If you find these three signs in anybody then you can think them as
the holy saints of Allah .
When you look upon them , then you will have attraction and love
towards them. When they talk , you will have much attraction and
attention so that you feel not to leave their company and sit there with
them for the unlimited time. They never commit any worse and worse
things and also they will not do any useless deeds.
5. The Quran, the tradition of the last prophet , Fiqh (Islamic law) and
the Khulasa (synopsis) of the above three things is called Sufism and
Sufism‟s Khulasa (synopsis) is Wahdit al-Wajud (unity of existence )
and this is not gain merely by talking. But it can be attained by
cleansing everything and Naqash (impression) from the mirror of the
heart which prevail in it and by becoming like the verse of the Holy
Quran and the details which are followed.
As per Quranic verse “ Tabtil Alay Tabtila‟ (devote thyself to himwhole-heartedly) and while keeping away from all and to approach
only towards Allah and after these stages the person‟s heart will becleaned and it will be controlled and will become shining and then
automatically there will be a possibility of availability of problem of
Wahdat Wajud (unity of existence ) and it will be visible in it clearly.

6.At the time of cooking of foods, the food maker should not be careless
about Yad (remembrance) of Allah. And also he should not be angry
with another person. Ignore sexual and useless talking . With Huzur
(presence ) of Qalab (heart ) and with cleanliness, cook the food so that
food will enter into the stomach and it will become Noor (light) thereand also it will enlighten the heart. If the food which is prepared without
taking care of the above matters then such food will bring darkness and
Kudrat (ill-will) in the heart.
7. If we take the help of any perfect person then there will be good
results and upon acting such directions from him and which will lead us
towards the highest level of status .
8. With the help of Riyazat (mystic exercise ) it is difficult task toremove the bad (Roya) character . So apply Iltizam (being necessary)
for Batini (innermost ) actions and see its results. So there will be good
results there suddenly and which will remove the bad (Roya) manners.
9. To keep away from bad (Khater) manners and sexual desires
(Muqatiziat Tibbya) so in such cases to follow such instructions of good
deeds which were given by holy saints of the Sufi Order of
Naqasbandiya. It means to avoid Nikah (marriage) and in such case
Allah is enough. Or considering our humility and our helplessness and to
approach towards Allah with sincerity so in this way we will keep away
from this difficulty and problem or to take the help of the innermost and
courage of the sheikh in this matter to ignore this problem . This last
method is best from all other methods.
10. Axel method, to clear unnecessary thorns of doubts and thinking
from the heart.
11.In the Islamic law it is must follow the commandments of Zaheri
(manifest). In the Tariqat (mystic way of life ) it is must to have
satisfaction and peace of the innermost (Batin). The perfection of satisfaction and peace of the innermost (Batin) is called Haqiqat
(reality).
12.Masq Surat (mutilated form ) is no more available in the Ummat
(nation) of the last prophet of Allah but Masq Batin (mutilated
innermost ) is still available and its two kinds are as follows.
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS

229
229
A. Not to approach Allah for Kabira (major) sins.
B. Not to censure the Nafas (soul).
In the above two matters If someone will give them instructions but
there is no effect on them and these are two signs of a mutilated form of
the innermost.13.Nikah is like a Be‟di (shackle) so always keep away from it andwhich stops the perfection of the innermost (Batin Sair).
14. Truth (Haqiqat) of the worship and it will not available with Khuzu
(humility ), sincerity and Tazre (supplication ). So there should be
greatness of Allah in the heart and so Azmat ( greatness ) of Allah
will not be available without the love of Allah. And love of Allah will be
not possible without following the Sunnat (practice) of the last prophet
of Allah and prophet‟s knowledge of Islam.So we should follow such learned persons (Mashiqs) who are Waris
(successors) of the knowledge of Islamic religion. Try to keep away
from such learned persons (Mashiqs) who is using their knowledge of
the worldly benefits and status. Also keep away from such Sufies
(mystic persons ) who are interested in the dance and society and for
this reason they are not concerned about the legal or illegal matters
and accepts whatever come before them.

233
233
Shaikh Khaja Obaid Ullah and learned the teachings of Sufism but
when he feels no satisfaction with him then he has approached Shaikh
Iftakhar and became his disciple. Upon not getting satisfaction from
him also he went to see Amir Obedaid ullah and become his disciple
but he was also not satisfied with him and so he was searching for any perfect master to guide him towards the height of Sufism and he saw a
dream in which he saw himself becoming the disciples of Khaja
Bahauddin Naqshband so from that day he was starting his search for
the perfect master of the Sufi Order of Naqshbadi . So in his search he
was reached to Kashmir and saw Shaikh Baba Wali Kubrawi Naqshandi
and he was benefited greatly upon his spiritual training there and he has
got manifestation of Gubiat (knowing hidden things) and during his
training period the sheikh was died so he was very sad and helpless inthis matter due to the above reason.
During that period he has met Moulana Khajgi Amkangi and he has
become his slave and the sheikh took him in the lonely place and taught
him for three days continuously and due to the grace of Allah he was
becoming perfect there in his company .
One day the sheikh has instructed him to proceed to India so that with
his presence there the Sufi Order of Naqhshbandi will be developed
and will reach at its great heights there.
As in his personality, there was great sincerity in him so for this reason
he has told him in this matter about his helplessness. So for this reason
sheikh told him for the Istaqara (augury). Upon Istaqara it was
revealed in Alam Roya (in the dream) that in India there is a great holy
saint Mujaddid Alif Thani who will be available for his company and
who will help him in this matter. His perfect will be completed through
his help and both will help each other and will have too much love and
affection in between them.

and after great benefits to the people there he went to Delhi where many
people become his disciples and followers.

available and as the resort has beautiful location so for this reason
which attracts large numbers of people .
As the holy saints like such above places greatly so he liked this
place and he was settled down there and lived there till his life.
He was perfect in the following things.1. Interest.
2. Wajd (ecstasy).
3. Hall (ecstasy).
4. Knowledge of Allah.
5. Haqiqat (truth).
Despite of his above great merits he was very sincere and simple in
the nature so he used to sit on the earth without mat or bedding and
clothes.
And he thinks himself not fit for the preaching work. He was very kind
to the mankind. Once a cat slept on his blanket and so he stood near his
bed till morning in the severe cold night and not disturbed the cat from
his blanket.
There was too much (Esar) selflessness in him and there was no limit
on it in this matter. If there will any mistake by any of his disciples then
he used to say that it was his mistake which reflected in his.
In the worship and dealings he used to take too much Ihatiat ( toomuch care). And for this reason in the beginning being follower of
Hanafi religion he used to recite himself Qirat ( recitation of the holy
Quran ) behind the Imam (leader) in the mosque. One night he saw in his
dream Imam Abu Hanifa and who told him that many great holy persons
followed his religion. So he has understood Imam Abu Hanif‟s Tariz(objection) and discontinued reciting Quran behind the Imam (leader) in
the mosque.

touch his Daman (edge) of his shirt and he saw Obdaid ullah Ahrar in
his dream and who put on shirt on him. In the morning he has explained
his dreams that if possible he will be recovered from the illness
otherwise the shirt which he was seen in his dream will refer as his

were many great holy personalities and Islamic learned persons were

born on 971 G in the city of Sarhind.
When he was still young then Shaikh Shah Kamal Quadri predicted
that he will have a long life and he will become great learned person

sheikh asked the boy to suck his tongue so from that time there was
inspired of the Sufi Order of Quaderia on him.Since his childhood he has great status with him so anybody who
will look at him and used to say that he will become a great pious
personality of his time. He has got many knowledges from his father and
after this he went to Sialkot and approached Moulana Mohammed
Kamal Kashimri and Moulana Yaqub Kashmiri and he had learned

many knowledges there and he got a certificate in prophet‟s traditions
from Qazi Bahlul Badhkshi. During his time there was no person like
him as he had become a great master in many knowledges.
He got khilafat (caliphate) and permission in the Sufi Order of
Chistiaya and Quaderiya from his father.When he reached at the age of 17 years, he was become perfect in
Batini (innermost) and Zaheri (manifest ) knowledge and he was
beginning the teaching and preaching work of students and disciples in
Batini (innermost )and Zaheri (manifest) knowledge and he was busy in
these works for a long time. During the above period he had written the
following booklets.
1. Magazine (Risla) Tehlia.2. Magazine (Risala) Rad Rawafiz.
At that time there was a great power of Rawafiz (Shia ) people but
due to his courage and his right path of truth he was not afraid of them
and he wrote the above magazines against them. Despite of his great
ability and status he was anxious to join the Sufi Order of Naqshibaniya
connection. He was also anxious to visit the Holy Harem (grand
mosque) in Makkah but his father due to his love and affection was not
allowing him to proceed on a long journey of Makkah.
When his father died in the 1007 Hijri so he was proceeding to
Makkah in the year 1008 Hijri for Hajj pilgrimage via Delhi and there he
met Khaja Mohammed Baqi Billah and he was staying there for a
period for two days and he has requested him to accept him his
disciple so Baqi Billah was accepted him as his disciple without
checking by Istagara (augury) and included him as disciple in the
great circle of his chain.
He (Baqi Billah) told him that long time ago he has seen a dream
and its interpretation was given by Khajagi Amaknagi that some greatQu‟tub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot) will be getting Faiz (favor) byhim. So he finds all marks in him which were explained by Baqi
Billah and he told him that he will be next Qu‟tub (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot at axis) of his time.”
After this he has completed the following things in the perfect style

of the Sufi Order of Naqshbandiya.
1. Worship.
2. Mujahidat (endeavors).
3. Daily recitals.4.Maraqaba (meditation).
In the short time of two months and some days there was great
progress in him in the following things.

2.Marif Yaqina ( knowledge of convincing proof).
3.Israr Vilayat (mysteries of saintliness).
4. Higher the status.5.Anwar Fuzat ( favour).
6.Barkat Ilahi (grace of Allah).
For the above reasons there was great progress of the above things
with him so the great masters of Islamic religion were surprised in this
matter and they said it is the grace of Allah that such favour is granted
by Him to anyone whoever He likes.
And then upon getting permission of caliphate he was returned back to
his country. On his arrival there were many knowledge seekers who
came to visit him and were benefitted greatly by him.
He belongs to both the Sufi order of Chistiya and Sufi order of
Quaderia but he was much interested in the preaching and propagation
of the Sufi Order of Naqshibandiya. His condition become as such that
Momen (Muslim ) and Masqi ( thirsty ) persons were used to like him
very much and have his love in their hearts and the Fajir (sinful) and
unfortunate persons were used to dislike and have enmity with him.
Shaikh Abdul Haque was became his admirer and used to say the above
saying about him. Shah Wali ullah also praised him too much .His miracles are too many and difficult to mention all of them. Once
he has accepted one invitation of eating food at a particular occasion at
ten places and by grace of Allah he was present in all ten places and eat
the food at the same time as per schedule time.
During the reign of Mughal King Jahangir he was imprisoned for

saying Kalmia Haq (Muslim creed of truth). But During his
imprisonment he was used to attend congregational prayers on Friday
despite of strict police security arrangements and policemen were
unable to know when he will go outside and come back in again in the
prison. When the king himself saw his miracle and was becoming hisadmirer and begged for his pardon for his great mistake. When he was
freed from the prison then there were many prisoners who were
converted into great persons of Islamic knowledge and many become
great pious persons due to his hard endeavours during the time of his
imprisonment.
His great miracle was his Istaqamat ( firmness) of the Shariat (Islamic
law).
Once he wrote to somebody that if someone who flies in air and walkson the water but if leave any Mustshab (desirable) thing then he is
nothing like a small barley of grain before Allah and the holy saints of
Sufi Order of Naqhbandiya.
He was too much interested to follow the Sunnat (practice) of the
last prophet of Allah .So when became 50 years old then he was used to
say that his age will not be more than 63 years. So he will leave this
world at the age of 63 years and he was died at the same age.
In the month of Muharram of 1034 Hijri he told that he will leave this
world after 50 days and he was shown his burial place.
He advised his sons to keep his burial place in secret so for this reason
they became very upset and sad in this matter. Then he told them to
bury him near his father‟s grave and make his grave as per requirementof Sunnat (practice) of the last prophet of Allah so that it will finish
soon.
He was used to sleep in the desirable way and used to put his hand
under his cheek and he was used to sleep on the right side .He was diedon 27
thSafar on 1034 Hijri. He was told he did many good deeds but
once he prayed two Rakats (two sets of standing, genuflexion and
prostration in prayers ) which helped him at this time. While saying
about Salat (prayer ) as above his soul left to the spiritual world. The
prayer (Salat ) is linked of all holy prophets of Allah.

Sultan Alamgir due to his knowledge of Batini (innermost) and
benefits of his company and used to worship throughout the nights. So
he wrote his father that in Almagir vilayat litifya (high level of saintliness ) is more so his father also checked by his Kashaf (augury )in
this matter and found the details were correct and true.
He was perfect in Amar (command of good deeds) and Nahi (
prohibition of bad deeds) and no other person could not reach to such
higher level and he has also worked against Bidats (innovation in

241

religion ) and also he was becoming such great person in this matter
and such personality was not available during his time.
During his time all Bidats (innovation in religion ) were removed
due to his hard endeavours and hard tasks in this matter. So for this
reason his father named him as the supervisor of the Ummat (nation).One day Sultan Almagir invited him to his palace so he has accepted
an invitation as per requirement of Sunnat (practice) of the holy
prophet. When he has reached the royal fort and found a picture on the
fort wall so for this reason he was immediately returned back from there
to his residence area. When Sultan Alamgir comes to know the above
details then he has ordered for the immediate removal of the picture
from the fort wall and in this way Sultan Alamgir brought him back to
his palace.Daily 1400 persons used to get food from his kitchen. Due to Faiz
batani (favour of innermost) many poor and rich persons were
benefitted. Also many thousands of persons have got complete
knowledge of the religion of Islam.
Once a disciple was there in his meeting of ecstasy who was trying to
Zabat (control) in this matter too much but it was becoming unbearable
for him and for this reason he was died immediately on the spot there.
When he saw this situation then he has told that ecstasy will kill the
sympathetic persons. So for this reason many Mashiqs (learned) have
declared the ecstasy as illegal and un-lawful.
Once one of his disciples was trying to decrease his habit of eating of
the food so he told him that in the Sufi Order of Naqshbanidaya it is not
allowed to decrease the eating of food habit. All our high level holy
Saints had laid the foundation of our chain on Dawam Waquf Qalbi (to
keep the heart always busy in remembrance of Allah) and the presence
of Murid (a Murid is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism.) in
the company of the sheikh.The result of Zahed (ascetic) and Mujadi Shaqa (endeavours and hard
work) and Samra Karq habits (benefits of the miracles) which are not
useful and not concerned for us.
So we should pay attention to the following things.
1. Zikar (remembrance of Allah).

2. Attention towards Allah.
3. Sunnat (practice) of Allah‟s last prophet.4. Grace and light.
All such above things depend upon Dawm Waquf Qalbi (to keep the
heart always busy in remembrance of Allah) and the presence of Murid(a Murid is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism.) in the
company of the sheikh.
He was died in the year 1095 Hijri and his grave is situated in

(darkness ) on this food and asked Mazher Jane Jan to look it? And
Mahzer Jane Jan has told him that the food is from legal money but in it
there is riya (show) which is included in it so due to this reason there is
zulmat (darkness ) which was added in it.
When he has used to take books on loan for the reading purpose fromany rich person but he will not use to read it for three days and he used
to say that in the book‟s cover and in its binding due to the company of the rich person there is zulamat (darkness) which have added in it. Upon

Since childhood he was much interested in the loving nature so
for this reason his poetry is very famous. His Diwan (collection ) in
Persian language is very famous for his poetry of Ghazals (odes ) and poetry of love. He was having great interest to follow Sunnat (tradition)
of the last prophet of Allah. He was having much interest in the
knowledge of Batini (innermost) and love of Allah so for this reason he
was anxious in this matter and so he was searching a perfect spiritual
master and teacher for his guidance and training . His father was a
disciple of Sheikh Abdul Rahman so he went to see that sheikh. That
sheikh was famous for his miracles but he finds him that he was late in
the prayer schedule. So he has said in this matter that one who neglectthe Sunnat (tradition) of last prophet will not be good for him to follow
him. So when Sheikh Abdul Rahman will not take care of Sunnat
(practice) of last prophet so why he will follow him as his spiritual
master so for this reason he began hating him. There was another fear
with him that his father will force him in this matter and advised him to
become disciple of Sheikh Abdul Rahman.
One day he asked his father why Sheikh Abdul Rahman used to
follow delay schedule in the prayers so his father was told him that he is
always in the condition of Sukur (intoxication ) so for this reason he
may be excused in this matter. So he had told his father that, at the time
of prayer he will be in the condition of Sukr (intoxication ) but in other
conditions and timings he will be found in the perfect state of
condition. So upon his above speech, his father was surprised in this
matter. His father told him “ May Allah increase your intelligence andwisdom and you have criticized our Sheikh. “ At that time this matter was ended smoothly but his father began thinking that with the guidance
of Sheikh Abdul Rahman his son will ignore misunderstanding withhim.
At that time when he has heard about great characters of Syed Noor
Mohammed Badayuni so there was great interest with him to see him.
So for this reason he went to see him and find the following perfect
things in him.
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 247/385
247
247
1. Islamic law.
2. Sunnat (tradition)of last prophet of Allah.
3. Character.
That Sheikh asked him why he has come there.? So he replied him thatto become his disciple. So sheikh included him in his disciples even
without checking by Istqara (augury).
In his first attention there was improvement of his five senses (latif
khamsa) in him. Due to the grace of his holy company he forget his
food and sleep and was started hating the mankind and was started also
wandering in the lonely places without wearing the footwear and
without covering his head.
At time of hungry he used to eat leaves from the trees and think it as
his Rizq (subsistence).
In his Batin (innermost) there was too much improvement of
impression and which was reached its height so he would able to see
himself in the mirror same like the face and appearance of his sheikh.
When there will discuss about Hadrat Sidiq Akber (first caliph of
Allah‟s last prophet) then he will find near him and also he will see his presence with his eyes there .
He was in the company of Sheikh Badayuni for a period of four years
and did Riyazt (mystical exercise) there and sheikh was awarded himthe preaching methods and Sufi Qarqa (saintly dress ) and after that
Sheikh Badayuni died. Even though he was nominated him his caliph
but still there were some in-perfection was with him so he was
searching for the something more. So for this reason he has got Faiz
(favour ) for a period of six hears from the grave of Sheikh Badayuni.
One night he saw Shaikh Badayuni in his dream and who was told
he “Oh : Baba Mazher it is per missible to get Faiz (favour) from the
graves but as per instructions of Allah one should get Faiz (favour) fromthe living person. So for this reason you must get completion of your
knowledge from the living sheikh.
In his dream many times sheikh instructed him in this matter to search
for a living sheikh. So he left that place and lived in company of Sheikh
Shah Gulshan but that sheikh told him that „‟ He is Malamati (censure)
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 248/385
248
248
Fakir (darwesh ) so for this reason ignore him.‟‟ As there was Ghae b(overpowering ) of the Sunnat (tradition) of last prophet with him so he
asked him that it is better to search for a another holy person.
From there he went and approached Qu‟tub (highest cadre in spiritual
pivot) of his time Mohammed Zubair and lived in his company and thesheikh has paid his special attention towards him. One day the sheikh
told him „‟ During this process, there is required the company of sheikh compulsory and due to distance you could not meet me so it is
better you should keep your status which you have got from Shaikh
Badayuni and take care of it and this is best for you and with your
endeavours you should increase it and which will be best in your
interest. „‟
As the fate wants him to make something else so with the abovesaying with which he was not satisfied him. So he approached Sheikh
Haji Mohammed Afzal and who told him „‟ Baba Mazhar : your Saluk (mystic initiation ) was reached to higher lever with wisdom and you are
having condition of the Kashaf (revelation ) which still I am not having
with me and also I am not having such status of knowledge which you
are possessing with you. So how you will be benefited with from me in
my company.”
In this way Haji Sahib used to instruct him but despite of the above
instructions he was in his service for a period of 20 years and got many
benefits in his company due to his kind favour and attention and his
Nisbat ( connection) was becoming very strong and powerful. During
the above period he was completed knowledge of tradition (Hadith) of
the last prophet of Allah .
During Zikar ( teaching time ) of Hadith ( traditions of the last prophet
of Allah ) Haji Sahib used to get Istaraq (engrossment) of the holy
prophet of Allah and also there will be some Barkat ( grace ) and Anwar
( favor ) on him at that time and one who looked at Haji Sahib at thattime then he will find him in the court of Allah‟s last prophet .
He got favour from there and also got more benefits from there in
his company and for this reason he has approached Haji Saheb for the
learning knowledge of Hadith (traditions of the holy prophet of Allah )
from him.

After the above teaching he has approached in the service of Hafiz
Sadad Allah and he was living there for a period of 12 years with him
and during the above period he was taken responsibility of the keeper of
his footwear of Hafiz Sahib. Due to his Faiz Batni (favour of his
innermost ) of Hafiz Sahib his Nisbat ( connection) was very muchimproved. When due to his old age and weakness Hafiz Sahib was
discontinued his teaching and training work so he left him and has
approached Sheikh Mohammed Abid Sonami and he was there with
him for a long period .During his stay of 8 years with him , his training
was completed as per his wish and desire.
One day Sheikh Abed Sahib told him “ Mazhar I and you are liketwo sun and it is not known whose light is more and whose light is less.
It is good now that you should enlighten the hearts of the world and promote the following three Sufi Orders for which you are given
permission in this matter. “
1. Quaderia.
2. Chistisya.
3. Saherwardiya.
For his above best qualities , so Wali Allah Sahib Muhadith Delhavi
told that “ like Mirza Jan Janaan there was no such great person
available during this time in any city or region .” So he has got favour from four great sheikhs of his time and sat on
the throne of the caliphate and began the preaching and propagation
work of Islamic religion and there was great response from the persons
and so for this reason a large number of people from all corners of the
country were approaching him in this matter.
He was perfect in Zahed (mystism) and Tawakal (trust of Allah) . He
has got Asgana (ability to dispense with) of the world and people of the
world. He never accepted gifts and presents from anybody.He was perfect in the following things.
1.Kashaf (revelation).
2.Kashaf (revelation ) of Allah.
3.Kashaf (revelation ) of graves.
4.Kashaf (revelation ) of places.

His teachings are as follows.
1. Due to Zulmat (darkness) of food of the rich persons there will be a
disturbance on the condition of the innermost.
2. With the help of Saluk (mystic initiation) and due to this reason the
love of Allah will available. Sometime abundance of love will beavailable without Kasab (skill) from Allah. In such case there will be no
authority available for the disciple. And it is Farz ( obligation) for the
disciples and it is the practice of the holy saints of Allah. So one should
leave the desires and wishes of Nafs (soul) to get the love of Allah and
to adopt more Zikar (remembrance) of Allah and follow it permanently
and never discontinue it. Because the heart will not enlighten without
too much Zikar (remembrance of Allah ). If there will be more Zikar
(remembrance of Allah ) than there will be grace and due to this reasonthere will available Gubat (invisible) or any other condition will be rise
in him so in such situation one should try hard to protect it. If such
condition will disappear then follow Tazreh (humility) and with sincerity
and to continue more Zikar (remembrance of Allah) and continue
(Madamat) it and follow it on a permanent basis and never leave it so
that it will become uninterrupted by time.
3.To respect and love of all holy personalities and general Mashiq
(learned persons) and it is must and if somebody for the purpose of
love thinks that his sheikh is superior than others in the case of benefits
then such thing is not wrong.
4.If there is no act upon piety (Taqwa ) even for some minutes so it
will be termed against the Sunnat (practice) of the last prophet of
Allah. By avoiding Bidet (innovation in religion) and to act upon the
Islamic (Fiqh) rules then it will be better for the disciple and so it is
sufficient during this time.
5.One should busy in his schedule of Zikar (remembrance of Allah) and
worship of Allah so that to enable him to keep control of his power of perception from other than Allah . Always one should take care of his
courage and mind and in them keep the meaning of Allah so that he
should get (Malka) ability of the presence (Huzer) and so that it should
be well established.
6.It is good that one should correct his manners same like the manners of

the last prophet of Allah. So for this purpose the disciple while
reciting the Islamic creed then he should repeat its attributes of
censure for many days and follow the Islamic creed as comprising
negation of all deities save Allah and instead of this to follow the love
of Allah at the time of saying Illah (Allah).7. To act against the desires and wishes of the soul (Nafsani) so that
there will be Hall (the condition which comes and goes) and Muqam
(the condition which will stay) will be available .
8. (A) Duwam maraqab (constant meditation), it will increase the power
of the innermost .
(B) Due to reciting La Ilha Illah (There is no god save Allah), it will
finish human characters and it will increase Saluk (mystic initiation) and
so with its help the disciple will cover the distance of the way andwill reach the destination easily and smoothly.
(C) Make a habit of reciting Darud (blessing of the holy prophet )
frequent and for this reason it will result good events.
(D) With the help of the Nafil (supererogatory ) prayers there will be
available sincerity.
(E) Due to the reading of the holy Quran, qualities (Sifati) and light will
be increased.
(F) Due to Zikar (remembrance) of the names of Allah and it will
increase Jazba ( passion) of Allah.
9. Zikar (remembrance of Allah ) is good for the mystic initiation
(Saluk) so one should take care of its meaning otherwise the repetition
of words will bring only reward (Sawab) and not more than this.
10. It should be noted that those who reject connection of Majjdia
(revivalist) because it is delicate (Latif ) and so there is no color of it
so for this reason the people will not understand it and refused it. Even
Salik ( mystic initiate) who is perfect in it also not able to understand the
situation whether he has the completed perfection or not and he willhave doubts in this matter so he will think that he has disconnection of
Saluk (mystic initiation).
With the help of favours of four sheikhs he was busy for a period of
thirty years in the preaching and propagation work of Islam and he
brought millions of people towards the right path of Allah and also

father saw Syedna Ali ,the fourth caliph of Allah‟s last prophet in hisdream who was telling him that “ Oh : Abdul Latif upon the birth of your son name him as Ali.‟ So upon his birth he named his son as Ali.
When he became young he changed his name as Ghulam Ali due to
respect and this name was becoming very famous and popular among
all people . When his uncle saw the prophet of Allah in his dream and
who has told him to name his nephew as Abdullah so he renamed him as
Abdullah.
Sheikh Nasir uddin who was trained in company of Qizer (name of a
prophet immortalized by the fountain of life) was his father‟s sheikh. Hisfather has called him from his country to become disciple of his sheikh.
So he came to see his father in this matter but at the time when he was
reached at the village and in that night Sheikh Nasir Uddin was died.So his father has explained him the purpose of his call and his visit but
as there was no more chance of his purpose available . So he told him
that now he is free to go anywhere and search any great sheikh for his
spiritual training and teaching of Islamic knowledge. But at that time
the city of Delhi was full of the sheikhs of Islamic knowledge and

training but he was not interested in any one of the above sheikhs. While
wandering here and there he has reached the shrine of Mazher Jan Jana
when he was 22 years old and he was much attracted by him and he
became his lover so he has requested him to include him among his
disciples so Sheikh Mirza told him “ Baba : this shrine‟s meeting placeis without attraction so search any better and better place than this as
per your choice. So he has replied him “ I like this shrine and I needyour slavery only . “ So Mirza Sahib was accepted his request and hasenrolled him as his disciple.
After becoming a disciple of Mirza Sahib , he became perfect in the
following things.
1.Sleep with the legs un-stretched out in the sitting position of zikar
(remembrance of Allah ).2.Maraqaba (meditation).
3.Reyazat ( mystic exercise).

(asking forgiveness from Allah) and he has followed the following
things.
1.To recite Kalmia La Ilha Illah (there is no god save Allah ) by the
tongue.
2.Reciting the names of Allah.
3.Aurad (daily round ) of prayers.
4.To say 10,000 times La Ilah Illah (there is no god save Allah ) by
heart and daily reading of ten parts of the holy Quran.
He was having some economical source of income but he left it and
followed the trust in Allah.
He was having following belongings in his room.
1.One old hasir (mat ).2.One brick which he has used as his pillow.
He practiced all traditions (Sunnat) of Allah‟s last prophet. And hehas obtained a certificate from the sons of Sheikh Wali Ullah Sahib

7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS

254
254
company of his master but he has kept it secret and did not disclose this
matter to anybody.
He used to sleep less and eat less. He used to wake up his disciples
who used to neglect for the Tahjud (supererogatory prayers in the early
hours of the morning ) prayers. He used to hate the food items receivedfrom the rich persons. When he used to receive the food items from the
rich persons then he and his disciples never eat such food but he used to
distribute it to his neighbours. He used to be busy throughout the nights
in Zikar (remembrance) and Muraqba (meditation ).
For the following Sunnat (tradition of the last prophet of Allah) he
used to sit in the position of the legs un-stretched out as per
requirement and desire of mystic saints and as per tradition of Arab
people and if the sleep will come then he will use to sleep in sitting position with the legs un-stretched out and he never stretches his legs in
sleeping position and he was died also in this position.
Due to shyness he never look at the others. He also never saw his
face in the mirror. If any needy person took some of his belongings then
he used to turn his face from that thing. It always happened that the
person who will take his book and approach him to sell then he used to
purchase the same book. If somebody will object that sale when that
man will find the marks on the book which actually belongs to him
then he used to say that the copyist can write two books or our book‟scopyist might have written the same book. He used to wear thick clothes
and if somebody will send thin clothes as presentation to him then he
used to sell it and with that money he used to purchase many thick
clothes and keep one with him and used to give all others to the needy
poor persons. In this connection he has said that the benefit of many
persons is better than one person‟s benefit. As the meeting place of Sufian Suri, his meeting place was also best
and wherein there will have no discussions about the world and its people. If somebody will backbite about someone then he used to tell
him that his heart will not satisfy without his backbite of anyone. So he
used to instruct such person to backbite about him as he is worst so do
his backbite about him and be happy but never backbite about others in
his presence in the meeting place.

One day he was keeping fast and somebody backbite Sultan Shah
Alam of Delhi so he has said “ Oh : his fast was broken.” So some person has asked how his fast was broken. ? So he has replied him that
even though he did not backbite of anybody but he heard it so there is
one commandment of hearing and doing of backbite and which clarifiesthat both are same and no difference at all.
He was perfect in Maruf ( to command good deeds) and Nahi Manker
(to prohibit bad deeds) and it has become his habit. So at the time of
instructions in this matter he never dares instruct persons to rectify
wrong so that that person should come to the right path and follow the
right track. At that time he never distinguished the rich or poor but his
instructions will be same to all and everybody for the right thing
towards the right path of Allah.King and the rich persons tried many times for monthly funds and
grants for the budget of the shrine‟s expenditure and maintenanceamount so at that time he was used to recite the following Quranic
verse and refuse to accept any money in this matter. The meaning of the
verse is as follows.
“ Your Rizq (subsistence) for which you have been pr omised and which
is available in the sky.”
Due to the kind grace of Allah there will be great arrangement were
made from unknown sources for the subsistence of food for 200
persons daily in his shrine.
He was perfect in the following things .
1.Love for Allah‟s last prophets and his companions. So for the above reason if somebody says the name of Allah‟s last
prophet before him then due to his too much love he will become
restless.
At the time of reading holy Quran there will be many mysteries which
will appear upon his heart. So he had much pleasure at the time of reading holy Quran. During his prayer of Awabeen (supererogatory
prayers offering six to twenty rakats after the Maghrib obligatory prayer
is commendable. This prayer is called Salaatul Awabeen.) and Tahjud
(supererogatory prayers in the early hours of the morning) prayers he
was always used to hear the holy Quran with great interest by Sheikh

Abu Saeed. Due to the above reasons there will be a condition of ecstasy
on him. During that time he will have the condition of satisfaction
and sit like a solid mountain on his place.
One day he was told that Wajd (ecstasy ) and Hall (rapture) is against
the Sunnat (traditions) of Allah‟s last prophet. So one should try toignore them from his Nafs (soul).
Due to above mentioned great qualities and kindness he has got too
much Tawaze (humility) and sincerity in him. One day a dog was
entered his room so he prayed as follows.
“ Oh : Allah I am not eligible for the Tawsel (mediation) of holy saints
so for the sake this Maqluq (creature ) which belongs to you so grant
your kindness for me.”
So while carrying the work of the caliphate of his master he wasmost successful in the preaching propagation of work of Islam in the
best possible manner. So for this reason a large number of people from
near and far away places approached him and got the right path towards
Allah.
For the above reason even Allah‟s last prophet in a dream hasinstructed many persons to approach him for the right path of Islam.
Also many holy personalities used to send seekers on the path of Allah
to him for their training and preaching as well as propagation work of
Islam.
His miracles and other tasks are too many so it is not possible to cover

Always do not keep and follow Bu Ali Sena‟s useless sayings andAn‟sari‟s sayings which have no value at all so these are not required
by us. So that in this way we should not be grateful for the light of the
sun in the darkness of the hut.
Keep the friendship of two or three persons who are having their highlevel of courage and against their courage the greatness of the kingdom
of Sanjari will become half value of the barley. Its value of felicity
(Sadat) is great so for this importance , the owner of the throne of the
Qaiser of Rome and the kingdom of Alexander will demand and
desire such thing.
If there will be possession of one small lungi (cloth sheet to cover
the lower part of the body) and also if one more small Lungi (cloth
sheet to cover the upper part of the body) is available and in such casethere will be no fear of theft of things will be there and also there will
be no matter of care to protect them.
One yard of mat (Bouriya) and one small shirt and one Gudari (rag
dress) which are required in the worship to attain willingness and love
of Allah and these things are enough.

During his journey he saw a dream in which one pious person in
Delhi was said to him “ Baba Saad ullah where you are going ? andyour cure is available with us.“ So for this reason he went to Delhi andupon facing many difficulties on the way and in this manner he has

good condition . In this mosque he used to pray there always .
The details of his physical features are as follows.

beard of thick hair. Even though there was injury on his leg but due to

2.Mind.
3.Memory power.
4.Taba Rasa ( intelligence).

his mastery there. So he took the bow and arrows and tried in this
matter and he touched the target seven times successfully.
Wisdom.
If any person who involved in some difficult cases against him and in
such case with the help of his advises and wisdom he will becomesuccessful in those cases against him. He was a kind hearted person so

As per the above schedule he will see the Ulmea (learned persons) and
Mashiq (saints) who will come to visit him and he will have
discussions with them which will be continued for some time on the
following topics.
1. Knowledge.2. Biographies of the holy saints.
He was used to perform Aser (late afternoon) prayer in its prescribed

their disciples and pay his special attention to them till the time of the
sunset. After the Maghrib (sunset) prayer he will give instructions to
his shrine persons and other relatives of Asifia (Hyderabad ) government

(supererogatory prayers in the early hours of the morning) and the Salat
Tasbih (supererogatory prayers in the early hours of the morning) prayer
and busy with them for a long time. About four o‟clock he was used tosleep for some time and wake up immediately and perform the Fajr
(early morning ) prayer after having a bath.
Miskin Shah narrates that one day after the Tahjud (supererogatory
prayers in early hours of morning) prayer he was busy in Zikr
(remembrance of Allah ) and in Shagal (engagements) and he was also
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 265/385
265
265
sitting there with him then he had one apprehension with him so he
told him that “ Baba Miskin, do not think that you alone follow theschedule of daily recital and Zikar (remembrance of Allah ) for 25,000
times as we also follow our daily recital and also Zikar (remembrance
of Allah) f or 25,000 times daily without fail.” So in this way he hascleared his doubt.
His conduct and character were so great so all rich as well as poor
person will think that he is having such love and affection of parents
for him only and he will not love others than him.
At his shrine 200 disciples and servants were there and it was
required great expenditure to maintain them and so in this matter no
nobody knows from where the money will come there and thousands
disciples were also fed from there. Some time if there will nothingavailable in the shrine then he was used to be hungry with other persons
and live at that time on trust of Allah.
King of Deccan Nawab Nasir Doulah has been always eager to see
him but he never went to see him in his palace and not accepted daily
and monthly funds and grant of villages for the expenditure of the
shrine . Raja Chandu Lal minister and other Nawabs used to offer their
grants and funds for daily and monthly expenditure of the shrine but he
did not accept anything in this matter. He has received many requests in
this matter but he did not grant any of it.
Once Shamsul Umra visited him personally in the shrine and he
kindly requested him to accept some funds from him so he considered
his earnest request and he was kind enough to accept an amount of
Rupees five hundred from him but at the same time he was distributed
this amount among needy and poor persons.
Maulavi Hafiz Mir Shuja Uddin who wrote his book „Kashaf Khulsa‟was lived during the time and who used to visit him always at his
residence.At that time many Mashiq (saints) of Hyderabad used to visit him
and get benefitted by his father (Faiz) of the innermost ( batani) .
He was used to celebrate the annual Urs (death anniversary) ceremony
of his master Shah Ghulam Ali Sahib in a very simple way and he used
to instruct to prepare 70 Maunds (The maund is the anglicized name for
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS

266
266
a traditional unit of mass used in British India.) of Pakth (cooked food
with dressing meat ) and number of times Quran was used to read on
this occasion. So in this way he used to celebrate Urs (death
anniversary) ceremonies. He used to celebrate Urs ( death anniversary)
ceremony of the holy saints the Sufi Order of Naqshbanidya andMujddiayaa very simple way by reading Quran and by distribution of
sweets among his disciples and other person who will attend the
ceremonies.
He used to wear dresses of learning person as per the Sunnat
(tradition) of the last prophet of Allah. He was used to like and love
those persons who will follow the Sunnat (tradition) of the holy prophet
and Shariat (Islamic law). When he will see any person acting against
the Shariah law then he used to teach and give him instructions in thismatter. In his gathering learned persons were also always present and
due to their presence he was always feeling happiness and pleasure.
There was a strange effect in his Bait (promise of allegiance) that one
who will become his disciple then he will be away from doing any act
against the Islamic law and there will be awareness in him in this matter
so everybody thinks that it is a must for everybody to leave this
temporary world.
Before his death there was a weakness which prevailed on him andthere were complaints of diseases which had caused for his ill health .
At last this sun of grace of Allah left this world after bringing the
following creature on the right path.
1.Thousands of Giants (devs).
2.Thousand of Jins.
He was died on in the month of Jamal Awwal in the year 1270 Hijri.
In Hyderabad Deccan.Many thousands rich and poor people gathered to offer the funeral
prayer and he was buried in Urdu Sharif street opposite to the mosque
which was mentioned above in this chapter. His grave is made up of
soil only so it reminds to its lookers that he was a great follower of
Sunnat (practice) of the holy prophet of Allah. But afterwards Nawab

267
267
Afzalul Doulah, the king of Hyderabad has constructed mausoleum
over his grave due to his etqad (belief). But the grave is still made up of
soil and it looks very simple and very fine due to the kind grace of
Allah.
33.Syed Padsha Sahib Bukhari
His inheritance was linked with Maqdoum Jehaniyan. His Jad Ala
(ancestors) were natives of Bukhara and from there they have migrated
to India and from there he was arrived in Kurnool city and settled
down there . As per the historical records he was born in Kurnool city.
He was perfect in the Zaheri (manifest) and Batini (innermost)
knowledges. He was posted on a good job in Hyderabad and he was
earning many hundred Rupees there. Since childhood he has been much
interested in Darweshi (Sufism). So despite his wealthy position he used
to spend his life of Zahed (mystic way). In his discussions with others
one can find that he is not at all interested in the worldly life and its
pleasure. He was used to busy day and night in the following things .
1.Reyazat (mystic exercise).
2.Endeavours.
When he used to busy during his working hours in the court and
even though he will be busy in his duty work but his attention of Batini(innermost ) will be attached with his creator and so in this way he will
teach the mankind to live in the world but do not leave his Lord at any
time then such life will be become best and useful.
He has got Nisbat (connection) of the Sufi Order of Quarderia
through his family links and connection and he was trained in this
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 268/385
268
268
matter and he was becoming perfect in Saluk (mystic initiation ) in the
company and guidance of Shah Saad Allah Sahib and his grave is
situated on the Urdu Sharif street. His grave is situated in Hyderabad
and which is famous even today for the fulfillment of desires and wishes
of the persons who visit his grave there.Afterwards his endeavors were so great that he was becoming an
example of Da‟ime Saum (constant fasting ) and Qaim Lail ( firm innight prayer ). As Allah was willing some other thing with him as he
was not born to be engaged in the busy work of his office and schedule
of his professional duties.
So he followed his habit to visit Haji Mastan Shah Sahib Majzub (one
lost in divine meditation) and he used to spend his remaining time with
him after his schedule of duty work.So Saad Allah was his teacher of Tariqat (mystic way ) and he was
used to live always in the company of Majzub (one lost in divine
meditation) Sahib and for this reason Majzub (one lost in divine
meditation) Sahib also became his teacher. One day he has requested
Majzub Sahib (one lost in divine meditation) to advise him so he advised
him the following things.
The best slave is one who worships Allah and who ask his pardon
with Allah in his court to ignore his mistakes . As it is not possible with
anybody to worship Allah as per his status.
At the time of death of Majzub Sahib (one lost in divine meditation)
he asked him to bring water so he brought water urgently for him and
Majzub Sahib (one lost in divine meditation) drinks some water and
gave him the water glass and asked him to drink the remaining water.
So he drank water immediately and became unconscious and fall down
on the ground. After some time he was becoming normal but from that
time he left all his interest in this world and its people as well as he lost
his interest in his government service and desired for the interest inloneliness and solitude.
For some days he was busy in thinking and not able to decide
anything. So the time came when the people saw the repeat story of
Ibrahim ben Adham in the year 1297 Hijri in Hyderabad.
When Haji Mastan Shah Majzub was in his critical and in his last
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 269/385
269
269
condition of life and at that time he was present there and then he was
remembered for his office duty work so he was standing to go to the
office so Shah Sahib asked him to sit down so he was sitting there.
Again he stood to go to the office then Shah Sahib asked to sit down so
he was sitting there. For the third time he stood to go to the office soShah Sahib asked to sit down so he was sitting there. From that time he
left everything and followed Shah Sahib.
Upon the death of Shah Sahib he was buried in the shrine of Ujalay
Shah Sahib. Till the end of his life he sat at the grave of Majzub Sahib
(one lost in divine meditation) sahib. There was a condition jazeba (
passion) always on him and so he left also he has the family members
and the service responsibilities.
Nawab Torab Ali Khan Salar Jung Bahadur who tried his best for hisrecovery from his present condition but he was not successful in this
matter as he was always used to sit near the grave of Majzub sahib (one
lost in divine meditation) and this was not a small matter or small
thing as he was sitting there as per the instructions of Majzub Sahib
(one lost in divine meditation) who had gained great status in his love of
Allah . So he has also lost his everything in his love for the other world
and actually due to this reason he was not in normal condition as his
heart of love was taken by his beloved so in that situation he was unable
to give his lost heart to some other one. His condition became as
follows.
1.To see one.
2.To know one.
3.To ask one .
4.To love one .
5.To recite one‟s name. 6.To search one .
Except five daily prayers he was not able to do anything. Even he wasunable to wear his dress and eat his daily foods. If someone will give
him dress then he used to wear it and if someone will give some food
then he used to eat it as he lost his conscience in this matter.
Some people thought that it is a matter of heart so there will be some
changes at any time so they were waiting in this matter for some time
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 270/385
270
270
for his recovery from his abnormal condition but the condition was not
changed. So for this reason Nawab Torab Ali Khan Salar Jung Bahadur
during his period of his rule has constructed a shrine near the grave of
Majzub (one lost in divine meditation) Sahib from the royal funds and
in that shrine where he lived there for a long time.Afterwards as per recommendation of Nawab Tahinat Yar Doulah
Bahadur , Nawab Laiq Ali Salar Jung II had ordered for the
construction a big mosque and one room for him under the supervision
of Siddi Amber Khansama and after a long time Nawab Asman Jah
Bahadur during his period of rule had constructed minarets and the
sheds for the mosque and this mosque is still available there which will
remind the persons who constructed it.
He has spent all his life in the above mosque and in his room andwhere he lived there in loneliness and solitude. This is the greatest
miracle for those who demand it so for them it is a great miracle that he
sat in one place for a period of 40 years and was never left the grave of
Majzub (one lost in divine meditation) Sahib for a single minute. Allah
has granted such a great status for him that with his status he has
benefitted many Talibs (students) of Haq (truth).
He got a great position in the following things.
1. Fana Fillah (contemplation).
2. Baqa Ya- Allah(survival for Allah ).
At that time due the above great status he helped many people who
were endeavoring for Allah and were facing difficulties of negative
results in this matter but with his kind help and attention they find one
abode from where they got their final destination towards the right path
of Allah. Due to the above situation thousands of lovers whose hearts
were passing through difficult situation were find a resort to approach
towards lover‟s destination and with his help and attention of Batini
(innermost) and them were becoming successful in the way of Haq(truth).
The above helpless persons and lovers of the Haq (truth) with his help
and attention were refreshed and have got energy and spread around
many places. Thousands of worldly people were used to visit his place
for the fulfillment of their desires and wishes from there and were used
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 271/385
271
271
to return back with benefits from there. This was a small example of his
miracles of Batini (innermost) that seekers of Allah will find their
final destination for leaving the world and their desires and wishes to
live in the jungle or to sit in the rooms while leaving the world and its
people and they were used to engage and busy in the remembrance of Allah ( Yad Allah) day and night.
He used to instruct to listen and read Masnavi Sharif (The spiritual
couplets of Maulana Jalal uddin Rumi) and he had memorized thousands
of couplets form it. Always he used to recite important couplets from
Masnavi in the gatherings with his great interest and attention so there
will be an atmosphere of great attention and strange Bakhudi (ecstasy)
and due to this reason there will be amazement which will cover the
situation and gathering place.Many rich persons, officers and even the king of Deccan used to visit
him with great respect and attention. But he used to meet with them as
he used to meet with the general persons. Especially with learning
persons and Mashiq (saints) he used to meet with them with great
respect and attention and feel pleasure and happiness with their presence
in his place. He saw the reigns of many prime ministers of kingdom of
Hyderabad and many of them desired for the grant of funds but his heart
which has complete trust in Allah never accepted any grants or help
from them. Some time funds for daily expenses were presented to him
but he refused it by saying that it may give to some other needy person
and he does not require it.
He used to accept gifts and presents from people and upon receiving
them he used to put them under his bed cover and used to give the
same to beggars or other needy persons when they approach him for his
help but he will help them without informing the others.
He used to love his every disciple greatly so everybody thinks that he
loves him very much than others.His great habit was to follow each and every thing of Sunnat
(tradition) of Allah‟s last prophet. There are many miracles which are linked with him but his greatest
and last miracle is as follows.
During his lifetime he has informed his caliphs that his burial and other

272
272
funeral processes should be performed as per the Sunnat (tradition) of
the last prophet of Allah.
As the above methods which were mentioned in the tradition of the
last prophet of Allah and the Islamic law (Fiqah) also recommended the
same methods. The Imam of Sufi Saints Mohiuddin Arabi alsorecommended that the funeral prayers should not be arranged in the
local mosques. So he had instructed his disciples that his funeral prayers
should not be arranged in the local mosque. So this was his last advice
which was ignored by his disciples and others due to his sudden death
and due to the large scale of arrangements and large numbers of
attendance of the disciples and other general public at that time.
At that time there was a practice in Hyderabad city that all dead bodies
were used to bring to the Mecca mosque in Hyderabad in the grandtraditional way and funeral prayers were used to be arranged there in the
presence of a large number of city people who were used to present
there.
So as per the tradition in Hyderabad many persons started
arrangements to take his dead body to Mecca mosque for his funeral
prayer. And for this purpose many thousand persons went there and
stayed there for a long time for waiting for the arrival of dead bodies
for his funeral prayer.
As his residence place was out of the city so to bring the outside
dead bodies in the Hyderabad city were required direct permission in
this matter from the King of Hyderabad. For this reason permission was
sought in this matter but it was delayed in this respect for many hours
even though the King of Hyderabad was his great admirer and like him
very much due to his high level of sufi status and wisdom as well as his
knowledge. Due to the delay in permission from the king his dead
body was taken to the graveyard of Ujalay Shah Saheb‟s shrine in theoutside area of Hyderabad city and in the open place the funeral
prayers was arranged there in the presence of many thousands of
people.
After this prayer it was received the information from government
sources that the king has granted the permission. But at that time the
disciples and other persons were remembered his last advice and
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 273/385
273
273
instructions in this matter. So all of them said suddenly that “ Oh : hisacting upon the traditions as per the Islamic law even after his death.
So he is deserving to be called Mutsherah ( one who acts as per
Islamic law ).‟‟
All his deeds of Tariqat (mysticism) and Haqiqat (truth ) were somuch so for this reason it is difficult task to cover all of them in this
small chapter and for this reason many volumes of books are required.
As the connection of Syedna Abu Baker Siddiq was Hubiat
(friendship with the last prophet of Allah) and so has got this
connection with Syedna Abu Baker by the way of the caliphate system
. As Abu Baker SIddiq was from free all diseases and problems except
his love and affection of Allah and the last prophet of Allah. So in the
same way he was also free from all diseases and problems except hislove and affection of Allah and the last prophet of Allah . Such love and
his hard endeavours in this matter caused him very much weak and thin.
So such weak and un-healthiness was not improved and caused for his
death.
Due to his sudden death in Hyderabad the situation was greatly
affected and there it was a great loss which was not covered till long
time. A great saint with the following great qualities left for Hyderabad.
1. The Sun tower of truth (haqiqat)
2. The Moon in Islamic law‟s sky.
The person of such great qualities who was spreading his light of
(guidance and instructions) from the mosque of Ujalay Shah Saheb and
who has enlightened large number of persons was now no more in the
city of Hyderabad so there was a great feeling of missing such a great
pious persons among his disciples and other persons.
It is fact that every person should have to face the death surely as per
the Quranic verse.„All that is on earth will perish.‟ ( Quran 55-26)
The sun of great wisdom and knowledge was set in the west and there
was loss of permanent separation for his slaves due to his departure from
this world.
Kind and helping spiritual father left from their slaves and disciples.
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 274/385
274
274
So upon such departure there will be no hope of his return at all in their
lives. So in such situation not only his disciples but even the whole
world condoled in this matter but it will be less and not according to the
great loss of his disappearance from Hyderabad city.
He was died on tenth of Jamid Awwal in the year 1328 Hijri at thetime of Tahjud (supererogatory prayer in the early hours of the morning
) prayer. When the Qari (reciter of the Holy Quran) was reached in his
reading at the following verse of the holy Quran.
„Yea, enter thou My Heaven‟ (Adkhal Jannta) (holy Quran 30-89) then
this great Sheikh of Deccan with his following qualities left this world.
1. Qu‟tub of time (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis)
2. Great person of his time.3. Salik (mystic initiate) of Majzub (one lost in divine meditation)
and Majzub (one lost in divine meditation) of Salik (mystic initiate)
and lover of Allah Syed Mohammed Basha Sahib Bukhari left for
heavenly abode while leaving his disciples and devotees in conditions
of great pain and sorrow.
He was buried near the grave of Haji Mastan Shah Mazjub and
who was famous for the following things.
1. A person of great qualities.
2. Treasure of knowledge.
3. Treasure of Jazab (passion) and Saluk (mystic initiation )
In his burial place only four finger height of soil was spread there
over his dead body.
„‟ Oh : lookers come and see his masnun (as per tradition of Allah‟slast prophet) grave here and so it is called true love for the tradition of
the last prophet of Allah.
To leave the sadness of the heart of the above great loss the mindwants to say many things in this matter but it is very difficult to cover it
as there is no space for its coverage. So in this great sorrowful situation
I am mentioning herewith some instructions which I heard from my
master in his great gatherings.
1. If you have tried your best in any case but the result was not fruitful
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 275/385
275
275
then you should not feel sorrow in this matter. So in such case with
Aah Wah Zari (with wailing) and to recite Astagfar (beg pardon of
Allah). So I asked him what is the situation for Astagfar (beg pardon
of Allah) here. He said that the man had tried his best in legal and in
permissible manner and when he will see that the case is down withoutany result and all his endeavors were becoming useless than he should
think that this was the willingness of Allah so he had done against the
will of Allah so for this mistake and which was known to him later and
for this reason he should recite Astagfar (beg for pardon) of Allah.
2. Ecstasy and passion, uneasy and cry, These are against the Sufi Order
of Naqshbandiya, Mujdadia traditions and if any Mujddai commit the
above acts then he should rectify his mistakes. One who follows the
tradition of the Sufi Order of Naqsbandiya and Majdadiya then hiscondition totally will become same as per the companions of the last
prophet of Allah and he will have the following conditions with him.
A. Satisfaction.
B. Viaqr (dignity).
C. Sincerity.
D. Always in Huzur (presence).
E. In high level of Ihsan (excellence) in which one should worship in
such a way that he is looking Allah and if not having such situation then
he should think that Allah is watching him and this condition will be
available in higher level of sincerity just like the companions of the
Allah‟s last prophet.As per companions of the last prophet of Allah they will also follow
Amar Maruf (command good deeds ) and Nahi Almunkar (prohibit from
bad deeds ) and so it should become their habit and practice.
3. To follow the Sunnat (tradition) of the last prophet of Allah. And
always keep away from people of the world. So keep in your mind that
those who approach the worldly people then in that case they will facedisgrace and those who will ignore them (worldly people) then they will
approach you and run after you like dogs.
4. Poverty and hunger are necessary habits of the Sufi Order of
Naqshbandiya.
5. Nikah and the company of rich people are very dangerous for the
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 276/385
276
276
beginners and it will stop favors like the wall of Zul-Qarnain ( Zul-
Qarnain of the Qur‟an was a believer in the Oneness of God).
6. One who will become perfect if he will find a perfect sheikh. So one
should stay in a room near his perfect sheikh and he should busy there
in Zikar (remembrance of Allah) day and night and not to leave hisroom un-necessarily.
7. It is not right that Imam Rabbani was against the unity of existence
issue but as a matter of fact Imam Saheb said that about the belief in
God‟s unity and it is required from Marif Qalab ( heart which have anintimate of the knowledge of god) and they are Ahle Vilayat (people of
saintliness) and still the perfection is away from them due to this
reason and the situation which prevails is that slave remains slave and
Lord remains Lord. So the condition of the companions of prophet andtheir followers will be same.
8. The brief of good life is to surrender all our affairs to Allah and to
sit and see the progress and development of condition by Allah whether
it will set it right or not ? Or how Allah will set the wrong thing as right
?. See the condition and affairs but should not react in this matter. To
remember Allah‟s promises and his treasures so in this way to encouragehis mind and in this case he should disappointment from his
personality and from the world.
9. The Sign of love is to sacrifice all our wishes and desires for the
inclination and pleasures for the lover and one who do against this and
keep away from its problems and then claim his love, so in such case
he will be declared as false and proud person. Despite of his false love
one who will think that he is having favour of his lover then such
persons is false and unfortunate and forsaken.
10. The people who says that to complete the process of the Sufi Order
, we have wasted six years without any gain and result and after this
also it is not known what will be happening from it.? So its result isunknown and we do not know what we will get ? Or not get anything
during this period. So those who think like this because in their fortune
this wealth is not added so they are doing miserliness for a period of six
years in the remembrance of Allah. So they should explain the purpose
for which they have spent their whole life and what they have got for it.?

The Salik (mystic initiate ) should not become sad and mind in this
matter and face difficulties and problems but do not leave the door and
think that the caller who is sitting at the door of Karim (kind person)
and who is shy of returning him without the grant of any benefit to
his callers. So think that the kind Lord who rewards anybody whatever he wants and for him it is easy of such grant of anything like giving of
one piece of bread. So he will never return anybody un-answered from
his door so the Salik (mystic initiate) should work and increased his
endeavours in this matter.
11. By following of Zikar (remembrance of Allah) and the company of
sheikh we can able to get compulsory connection and it is sure and
without any doubt . So such connection ( Nisbat) will be achieved
slowly so Salik (mystic initiate ) will not understand it and he thinksthat he could not able to get anything. The Salik (mystic initiate ) will
become example of such person who will send his son to Khusnawis
(calligraphist) to teach his son for learning good handwriting. The
calligraphist keeps the daily progress sheets of writing with him. After
some days the student‟s father will approach the calligraphist andcomplain him that his son is writing since many days but there is no
progress at all. So in such case calligraphist will show the father daily
sheets of good handwriting of his son then the father will notice that
there is considerable progress of good hand writing on a daily basis. So
there is no link of the first day‟s sheet with last day‟s sheet and there was
a great difference of sky and earth in this matter but this will not be
understood by the son and his father in this respect. So in this way the
Salik‟s (mystic initiate) condition will be improved slowly and which hewill not be realized by him. To understand the progress of the
connection (Nasbit) and how it is finding in the Salik (mystic initiate)
gradually so study the following example carefully.
If a beggar will be given too much wealth without any endeavoursthen he will spend it without caring it. If against this if he will be given
too much wealth gradually then he will take care of it and get benefit
from it. So in the same way if the connection (Nisbat) will be found
suddenly without endeavorsvours then it will be spoiled due to not
caring about it.

12. To cure the heart there are five things which are required and these

A. To read the holy Quran with care and attention.
B. To keep stomach empty.
C. Night prayers.D. Supplication of the morning time.
E. To sit in the company of pious persons and attend their meetings.
13. Allah will be available near with that man if he will be away from

14. This is agreed by all holy pious saints that if someone who eat illegal
food then he will be kept away from the following things.
A. He will not be able to make differentiate in between Ilham
(revelation) and doubt.15. Zanoon Masri has described the reasons of problem in the person‟scondition and their heart‟s malfunction are as follows. A. Their intentions are poor for their deeds of the other world.
B. Their devotees will follow the sexual desires and wishes.
C. Despite of nearness of the death their deeds are lengthy.
D. They will give preference to the willingness of the mankind.
E. They will follow their wishes and desires.
F. They will leave the Sunnat (traditions) of Allah‟s last prophet. I. For the small mistakes of the past people they used to discuss about
them and there have been a number of arguments offered in this matter
G. They will ignore many good deeds of the past persons and also they
do not follow them.
16. To get the favor and benefits of the Sufi Order of Naqshabandiya
holy saints, one should take care of following three things.
A. If one who will act upon on any good deed which is acted upon by
the holy saints of the Sufi Order of Naqshibandiya then he should not
think and look at his act and do not take pride in it and always followhumility and sincerity in this matter. If he will act upon on any act
which they do not like with them then he should not think that he was
rejected by them and so do not get disappointed in this matter and do
not leave them and do not wander here and there. When they order for
something then he should act upon it urgently with sincerity and

humility so that he can get his goal in this matter.
17.If one who will recite the verse Yasin from holy Quran in Tahjud
(supererogatory prayers in the early hours of the morning) prayer and
after the prayer if he will pray Allah for his desires and wishes then his
desires and wishes will be fulfilled.18. Once he said the following things in the praise of Allah‟s last
prophet which are as follows.
“ This is fact that in the world and in all particles your presence is there
and some time you are seen in houri and sometime you are seen in men
but as a matter of fact your personality is free from color of warmth
and it is pure so for this reason oh : friend so I will not say you houri or
human being and all these things became a veil for him so actually he is
different from them.” 19.Once he said that one day Moulana Hamid uddin was in condition
of his last breath so his son Moulana Jasam uddin saw him in such
condition of difficulty and problem so he told him “Oh : father why youare in condition of such unrest and difficulty and what is this problem
in this matter and what is this reason of it?.” So he told “ Oh : my sonnow they are demanding such thing which I do not have with me nor I
have learnt the method of it to get it so I am in this condition of worry
and unrest due to this problem. It means they are demanding the perfect
heart so I do not know what to do in this matter as I do not know from I
should bring the same for them.”
So Moulana Jisam Uddin said he “ Oh : father for some time turnyour attention towards him with care and attention of his heart. So he
instructs his father in this matter in that way. Moulana Hamid uddin has
felt satisfaction and peace in his heart and after one hour and opened
his eyes immediately and said “ Oh “ my son may Allah give you bestreward for this matter and it is matter of great sadness and sorry that I
have spent my whole life without caring it and I should have spent mywhole life to get this method and anyhow he has spent his life in
different way but now he is grateful to Allah for granting him pious son
and due to his help he is leaving this world with the perfect heart as
well as with virtue and happiness.”
After saying the above event then he said “ Oh : people to get control

of the heart during good health period otherwise during the last hours
of your life when mind and health condition will be worse and then all
parts of the body will face many problems of health so in such time
presence (Huzur) of Qalab (heart) will be not possible to get it .? And it
will not only difficult but also it will be very impossible thing.The above are some of the samples of his advices and instructions. I
belong to one of his worthless slaves on his door. I have written nine
remedies in one letter which I have sent to one Islamic brother in
which I have written how to control the heart‟s worse condition andsuggested its nine remedies in this matter. Even the text and subject of
this letter is mine but in reality the contents of the letter are a small lamp
which was lite by my great master‟s light of knowledge and reality .
In the following letter there are many instructions are there whichwill describe about perfect heart (Qalab Salim) so it may called as
commentary on the perfect heart (Qalab Salim).
The letter is presented herewith for the kind perusal of the readers
which is as follows for their guidance and attention in this matter.
Dear Islamic brothers
Assalam Alaikum
I have received the following letter from above sheikh and which is
kept before me for some time and for which I could not reply him . The
reply of the above letter is as follows in which I have mentioned my
thoughts and suggestions. So I request you all to read the same carefully
and to act upon it for which I shall be highly obliged to all of you.
Dear friends please note that the obedient young person will follow
advices of pious persons and like it very much.
Long time ago I have left Naldurg so I have a desire to visit it again but I could not go there despite of my desire. If I would have poet than I
would have blame the time which will not allow our wishes to be
fulfilled.
Oh : I remembered that I would have to ask about your health as per
tradition which come under out word forms in which I am not interested
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 281/385
281
281
at all.
Let us try to read some of the remedies to rectify the heart.
1. To look the world as a temporary abode so look it with a warning . Itis house of homeless persons. It is mortal house and in which many
kings came and left the world and they had very strong hold and
powerful rule in their kingdoms. They are now available in broken
graves in very bad condition and now nobody knows about them and
also think about them. Oh : this is a cruel and an unfaithful world
showed them many lovely dreams and plans and then put them under
the ground without any name and mark on them.
Even after the above sad acts the world buried their crown and palacesin the soil and put the soil on the kings and named it as a grave and also
the world continued the cruelty on them and also by blow of the winds
which disappeared the soil of their graves which caused them nameless
in the world.
Oh : It is a very sad story that you have not heard such cruelty that
many thousands became homeless and their relatives and the members
of their families were no more in the world. If some of the persons still
alive from their royal connection and they are living in very bad
condition and live on the door of the rich persons as beggars and needy
persons.
Oh : unfaithful world, your act is very bad, which you did with your
friends so justify your act in this matter.
You have killed beautiful maidens and buried them in the soil and you
are not kind to their youth and their lovely features and their grand
beauty is still seen in the broken graves and which will cause to shed
the tears by it lookers. There are hairs and ringlets , their lovely wrists
and their other beautiful body parts are scattered here and there. Their lovely bodies for which the floral wreath of beds even doesn't bear
them due to the harshness and would move here and there and now such
lovely maidens and beautiful bodies are un-known in the graveyards
and they have finished by eating of the insects . So these personalities
are helpless and could not do anything to anybody. As a matter of fact
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 282/385
282
282
they came into the world and they are not against any power or to face
anybody.
It is very surprising and strange that in this world many powerful and
brave kings came and left their great power and name to whom you
(world) destroyed them very badly. These mighty persons ruled the areaof Arabia to Persian regions with great power and for their historical
events the world knows them and also knows their wars and great
achievements in the world.
Oh : now the dead bodies of these mighty powerful rulers are
available in their graves in very neglected and poor condition. It is very
astonishing thing that we can understand and study all the above things
but after passing some time we forget everything and these things will
remove from our minds like our age which is gradually finishing.Even upon the studying of the above condition and affairs , the
situation is same with us that we are following our old carelessness
method with us so for this reason we are still in darkness. So we should
have to think about whatever our life period has passed so ignore it and
take care of our remaining part of our life and for this reason we should
take care for it as this world is a temporary abode. So we should think
in this matter as this world is unfaithful so we should not love it and
live in it as a temporary traveler. As the world is not a permanent place
for the mankind so everyone one who lives in it will die soon surely.
In the world everybody possesses the liver with spots in his body
like the sky which has the moon which bears spotted on it. If we see the
word carefully and then we can find it nothing and so despite of this
reason many persons are lovers of it as they do not have the perfection
of their eyes.
2.The darkness of soul (nafas) and problems of human nature will be
solved by the connection of the heart and soul with a particular level
with Allah .The revelation of the mysteries and good knowledge depend upon
the following things.
A. Remembrance of Allah.
B. With more worship and endeavours.
C. To leave the general people.
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 283/385
283
283
D. To live in loneliness and solitude.
The above instructions are the same which Moulana Jami has advised
in this matter and who said that Allah can do anything.
But as per experience to become the friend of Allah and pious person is not possible without the following four things and if one who
wish and desire to become his friend then one should try hard for the
following things to achieve his goal in this matter.
A. Loneliness and solitude due to this reason we can free from sins and
so this is least benefit from it.
B. Silence, for this reason someone said that without saying something
one will not face the situation of sorry. And so in case of sayingsomething one will face the situation of sorry.
C. Always keep fasting and if someone eats food then he should eat
less food.
D. Saher, it means not to sleep in the nights for the worship purpose.
Allah has granted treasure of knowledge to great Persian poet Hafiz due
to his night prayers and early morning recitals. Due to eating food and
night sleep the disciple will be kept away from the status of love.
One who will want nearness of Allah then he should will leave his
habit of more eating food and night sleep.
3.Allah has kept three things concealed in the following three things.
A. His willingness in his obedience. So do not think any obedience as
small thing because there will be the willingness of Allah in it .
B. His anger in dis-obedience, so one should not think any disobedience
as small thing so that he will be free from Allah‟s anger and wrath for this matter.
C. His Velayat (saintliness) in his persons so one should not think any
person lower than him because that man may be Allah‟s friend and pious person.

4. He said that the disciples should love his spiritual master with great
sincerity and with truthful heart and it means one should love his
spiritual master by heart and which is required as per conditions of
mystic initiation and he should always imagine about the face of hisspiritual master. And the spiritual master has a position among his
disciples just like the position of the prophets among his followers and
this tradition of Allah‟s last prophet is available in the book „Mirsad alAbad „ which is as follows.
„ My Ummat‟s learned persons are having the status of the prophets of Israeli Ummat (nation ) .‟
Once I heard by sheikh that the mystic person (Darwesh) who will
follow the Islamic law and recite the blessing (Darud) on the last prophet of Allah, so think it is good to follow his company and
service. So keep his love with true heart. Because for this matter the
following instruction is available in Quran „Kuno Ma Sadiqin„ (live withtruthful persons) which is correct and right.
As the company of pious persons will bring good benefits and results.
So in this matter Quran and the tradition of the Allah‟s prophet‟s haveinstructed us to have company of pious persons for better benefits and
results in our lives.
Translation of Persian poetry line is as follows.
“ To sit with lovers and have a feeling of love and leave such peopleswho are not lovers of Allah. If for some reason you are away from your
spiritual master then there is no problem in this matter so in that
situation always think about the face of your spiritual master and
follow his instructions of daily recital schedule which will help the
disciples to get the benefits of his spiritual master even if someone isaway from him by following his schedule of daily work.”
5.Such pages of books in which biographies of pious persons have
been published and upon reading the events of their stories and which
will affect upon the readers greatly. So hear or read such books. With
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-four-books 285/385
285
285
the help of such great books which are mentioned above so that there
will be an increase in courage of sincerity and also there will be an
increase of interest in the mystic exercises.
Even the perfection of the Worship is difficult and not easy thing . So
in this matter one should be patient in case of difficulty and problems.By grace of Allah in the biographies of holy saints there will be a great
effect on it to reduce love of the world and to keep sole clean and
clear from bad thoughts and deeds.
So I recommend all of you with great confidence that when you
read the biography of any holy saint then you will feel that you are
present in the presence of that sheikh and who is preaching something
to you and you are listening that thing from him. So in this way therewill be favour of his effect on the hearts of those persons who are
reading or listening such valuable great books.
During these days of problems in which we are facing problems and
difficulties from our relatives and friends and their description is as
follows in the Persian couplets and its translation from Persian
language is mentioned as under.
“ Keep away from such brothers who will sell you as they are not your real brothers and they are same like the brothers of Prophet Yousuf
(peace be upon him) and you know well that they had sold away
Prophet Yousuf (peace be upon ) in the bazaar of Egypt. “
If you need such a friend who will always entertain you and who will
not leave your company at any time and for this reason follow the
book reading habit on a perpetual basis.
During this time of problems and difficulties by following these twothings we will be free from the problem and difficulties.
A. Spiritual Master , whose heart is full of love of Allah .
B. Advises and books of biographies of holy saints.

6. If you want to reach to your goal and if you have desire and wish for
the nearness of Allah and to attain success in the court of Allah‟s last prophet so then you should follow the Islamic (Shariat ) law of Allah
which was enforced for all general and private persons. So we should
follow the law of Islam strictly in all our problems and difficulties andfor this reason we should not ignore it. In our worship and habits we
should follow the traditions of Allah‟s last prophet and it is must andnecessary thing for all of us.
So acting against the Islamic law and declaring the love and
nearness of Allah‟s last prophet who has brought us Islamic law isuseless and an act of an insane person.
Those who will act against the instructions of holy prophet will notget their goal. In this matter great Persian poet Sa‟di said the following.
“The improvement of the qualities of innermost will not be possiblewithout following the traditions of Allah‟s last prophet.”
7. It is fact that soon we will have to leave this mortal world and will
have to shift into another world so till our stay here we have to live in it
as a traveler and except Allah we should not have love with anybody
here. When the time of our departure will come then we should leave
this place of problems with happiness and pleasure.
8.Follow the remembrance of Allah in all conditions without fail
because no action is not better than this. Allah‟s last prophet said thefollowing advice which is as follows.
„‟ It is better than Jihad (armed struggle ) and charity.”
He used to say “Oh : people you all should remember Allah toomuch so that due to your such condition the people will declare you as
an insane per son . “

remembrance of Allah and at one place it is mentioned one method
how to become closer to Allah in the shortest way which is possible
and which is as follows.
But keep in remembranceThe name of thy Lord,
And devote thyself
To him whole-heartedly.
( Quran 73-9)
So remember Allah too much so that there should no carelessness in
this matter at any time. So the importance of remembrance of Allah is
so great which is well known since long time.
There will be great effect of advices of the spiritual master for the
clearance of the heart . So by following the instructions of your spiritual
master and continue the remembrance of Allah 24 hours during the day
and night with the daily routine of working, sitting as well as walking.
When you are free from your daily routine then closing your eyes and
remember the face of your spiritual master and continue the
remembrance of Allah. So this way is very famous for the clearance of
the heart . Even the remembrance of Allah during the day time is also
good but the remembrance of Allah during the night time is not only
good but it is very effective and will have many results and benefits.

During the early days of our creation our heart was like a mirror pure
and clean but as per our growth we have damaged it. There are millions
of thanks to Allah who is most Beneficent and Merciful who has
provided many ways to rectify its defects and to bring clearance to get purity and cleanliness of the heart.

This book „Auliya-E-Aurangabad‟ (The saints of Aurangabad) and it isvery new book and which is published in the 2012 A.D. It means it was
published one years ago in Hyderabad in the Urdu language. Please
note it is a biography about holy personalities of Aurangabad.This is a small book in which there is biographies of holy
personalities are added and in this book there are some great
achievements of this great sheikh of Deccan (South India) which are
not yet known to the general persons and other persons are published in
a very interesting style so for this reason the readers will find great
interest and attention in this matter.
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts reading
this book‟s first chapter and will not sto p its reading till they will reachits last chapter as in this book some interesting events and as well as
other great miracles and endeavors of holy saint are added and this
holy saint was passed away from the world many centuries years ago.
Even though this is small book but due to its importance it is so
great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive
information in it so it is like an ocean of knowledge and information of
holy saint and who was passed away from the world upon doing his
great endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation work of Islam in the foreign lands so this book is small
one but it will present the ocean of knowledge and information for the
guidance of people towards the right path of Islam.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book „Muslimsaints and Mystics„ (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din Attar) which isvery famous in the Western world among the English knowing
persons. So for this reason there will be some small differences in it
while comparing with the Urdu books and its literature. The aim of this
book is to present in the Western world where there is great search anddemand of the books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who
lived and spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of
Islamic religion in all corners of the world as per tradition and practice
of Allah‟s last prophet. To write about these great Sufi saints is not only it is difficult and but

it is very hard task as they were not only great pious personalities of
their time in Deccan (South India) region but they were also a great
Sufi Masters in Deccan area who struggled hard for the preaching and
propagation of Islam centuries ago so in brief among them some were
Qu‟tubs (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of their time in Deccan(South India) region and who did many great endeavors for the
preaching and propagation of Islam in South India and around it and
there was no such personality during their time. In this book there are
four chapters.

A group of 1,400 palanquins of holy pious personalities came to the
Deccan from Delhi. This event is very famous in the history books and
they described the details which are as follows.
Sheikh Nizam Uddin Auliya has arranged and sent a group of 1,400 pious personalities towards Deccan and around Delhi areas for the
guidance of mankind and to spread the teaching and favors of the Sufi
order of Naqshibandiaya. He was selected the leader of caravan of 1,400
holy and pious persons to Deccan by Khaja Nizam Uddin Auiya as he
thinks that he is fit for the job due to his best qualities. From this it is
clear that he was made leader of 1,400 holy and great personalities and
as a matter of fact in that caravan there were so many great pious
personalities were there and they were perfect in the following things.1. Flying in the air.
2. To walk on the water.
The historian Mohammed Qasim who wrote his famous history book
„Tariq Farista‟ mentioned that the number of his caravan members
were 7,00 and among them many were perfect personalities of their
time so for this reason due to their higher status and position they were
allowed to travel in the palanquins.

Death.
He left this world on 7th
Rabil Awwal in the year 709 Hijri at the age
of 34 years in his house of residence in Khuldabad and his date of death
is available from the following words.
„Shahinsha Auliya‟ Mausoleum
His mausoleum is situated in Khuldabad Sharif which is famous and
for this reason the visitors in large numbers will visit the shrine and pray
Allah for the fulfillment of their desires and wishes for the sake of the
Sheikh‟s name. The meaning of Khuldbad Sharif.
This place which is known today as Khuldabad Sharif but before its
name was „Baghe Roudah‟ but after death of king Aurangzeb Alamgir and his mausoleum is situated in the shrine area of Hazrat Khaja Zain
Al-Abidin and who is also known as „Bawis Khaja‟ and from that timethis area was becoming famous as „Khuld Ashian‟ and in his name allarea of the mountain become famous as Khuldabad Sharif.
The meaning of Zar Zari Zar Baksh.
When he was leaving Delhi along with 1400 groups of holy
personalities as per his spiritual master's instruction but at that time he
was reluctant in this matter that how he will manage the expenses of all these large number of persons and from which source the huge
required money will come for this purpose. So for this reason he was
worried due to this problem and so he was visited his master in this
matter and told him his difficulty that he is not having strength and
capacity to maintain the expenses of such a large group of persons . So
upon this matter his spiritual master went into meditation and told him
that at the time of Tahjud (supererogatory in the early hours of morning)
prayer all the expenses in this matter will be arranged to him. As per
reference from Mohammed Qasim who wrote his famous history book „Tariq Farishta‟ that at the time of Tahjud (supererogatory prayer in the
early hours of the morning) there will arrive one box full of gold for the
expenses of the darvish persons from an invisible source. So he used to
collect the gold in the morning and for that money he will run the
expenses of Darvish persons. For this reason he was well known and

become famous with the title of „Zar Zari Zar Baksh‟. Maulavi Ghulam Ali Sahib Azad wrote from reference from the
book „ Roudah Auliya Deccan‟ that when his endeavors, mystical
exercises were reached at the highest level and he got status and
position of Mahbibiat (loveliness) then from that time daily in themorning and evening time he will used to get two robes of honor of
gold from invisible source and which he will use to sell and spend the
amount on the expenses of his Dervish friends and from that amount he
will not use any amount for his personal expenses. So for this reason
he was getting title Zar Zari Baksh.
One more tradition which is known in this matter that there was
severe starvation in that area and for this reason many persons in large
numbers were present in his shrine due to poverty and worst problemsin this matter and they requested him to consider their worst situation so
for this reason he was prayed in this matter and due to his prayer in the
morning there were branches of gold developed on the trees from the
ground level of the length of a span and so he will used to cut the same
and sold gold in the market and used to spend on the people. But in the
book „ Roudah Alaqtab‟ this event was mentioned about Hazrat Burhan
uddin Garib.
Also it was heard that when he was in the womb of his mother anddespite of her delivering pains but he was not being delivered. So for
this reason his father Sheikh Mahmood went to see his spiritual master
Hazrat Mahboob Ilahi and explained him all details in this matter. So
Hazrat mahboob Ilahi gave some him one pill of raw sugar (gud ) with
a mix of gold and told from his tongue of favor that the boy should not
delivered in the naked condition. So Sheikh Mahmood gave the pill to
his wife and afterwards he was born in the condition that he was
covered with loincloth of gold on his lower part of the body.

When he was died in the younger age without marriage so for this
reason he was called as Dulha Miyan (bride groom).
Miracles.
It is very hard and tough task to cover all his miracles which are
famous and well known to all persons. Due to fear of length I am afraidto mention in this small book all of them. So I mention here only one of
his miracle which is as follows.
Once Hazrat Muntajab Uddin was busy in meditation upon the favor
and attention of his spiritual master Hazrat Nizam Uddin auliya and at
that time his younger brother Burhan Uddin Garib went to see him so
to welcome his brother he spread the eating cloth and offered him food
items. So his brother told him that he is keeping fast so he did not eat
the food items there. So he told him it was supererogatory fast so youcan eat the food items there. But he did not accept his advice and went
away from there and went to see Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya and to
kiss his feet in his shrine building.
Upon seeing him the Sheikh asked his servants to bring some food
for Burhan Uddin Garib so as per obedience of his Sheikh‟s order heeat some food there. When he left from there the prayer time of Asr
(evening) was started so he went to the mosque for praying there. When
he reached in the mosque and asked the person for prayer of Asr (evening) but all persons told him that they have already performed the
prayer. At last he prayed the Asr (evening) prayer lonely with
confession and thought in his mind that due to not eating with brother

his spiritual master's instruction he came to Khuldabad from Delhi.

to call him as Burhani instead of Burhan Uddin.Parents.

The meaning of Gharib.
Since long time he has been much interested to learn alchemy so he
was searching a perfect Sheikh in this matter. Due to his search he left
Hansi city and reached in Delhi and at that time he was passing through
poor conditions of his life.
Hazrat Zain Uddin who was his Murid ( disciple) and his caliph and
he says that when he left Hansi city and reached to Delhi and where hestayed in one deserted mosque which was situated near a bridge and due
to his blessing it was lighted and a large number of people started to
come to that mosque. At that time there was great fame and name for
the favor and attention of Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya‟s general diningcloth and his public kitchen were famous in the all over the world.

When he heard about the events of the Sheikh‟s perfection and generalfavor then he used to think in this matter that on trust of Allah it is not
possible such great eating cloth for poor persons and even for the kings
and for others without alchemy and invisible hand it is not possible.
But he was not known that Sheikh‟s tongue will work like alchemy andthe eating cloth was due to kindness and grace of Allah. Whoever will
be entered in a shrine will become like philosopher‟s stone not like analchemist. So in this way in his search of his interest in alchemy he was
entered in the shrine of Hazrat Khaja Nizam Uddin Auliya.
Upon seeing his worst poverty condition Sheikh‟s special servanttold the Sheikh that Burhan Uddin Gharib presented here and upon
learning this the Sheikh told that the general persons known him well
but he is still poor . So from that day he was become famous and wellknown with the title of Gharib.
His interest towards indigence.
Gradually he got a special position in the shrine of Hazrat Khaja
Nizam Uddin. After some days the Sheikh was known by the revelation
of batani (innermost) his intention and so asked him for his service in
the public kitchen. One day the Sheikh came into the public kitchen and
asked to bring one clod for toilet. So he went outside and in search of it
and found one clod and collected it and upon his touch it was convertedinto gold so he was thrown it immediately and he picked another clod
which also converted into gold and so he thrown it and went away and
covered long distances in this matter. But in all places clods were
converted into gold. So he began again his searched for the clods but
he could not find it. He came back in the presence of the Sheikh and
explained him all details in this matter. So the Sheikh told him “ Tosearch such a thing which is useful for toilet and to desire such a thing
and for it wasting of precious life period is not also a good thing.‟‟
Upon hearing his Sheikh‟s instruction Burhan Uddin left his thinkingto learn alchemy in this matter and he began his interest in indigence.

Caliphate.
He came from Ghiyaspur to Delhi in the year 693 A.H. At that time
there were following two persons were there in the service of Hazrat
Khaja Nizam Uddin Aulia.1.Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib.
2. Hazrat Kamal Uddin Yaqub (his grave is situated in Patan Gujrat).
Dream.
Hazrat Sheikh Burhan Uddin Gharib said that before his pledge to
Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya he saw a dream in which he was fallen in a
trench and he was tried his best to come out from there but he was not
successful in this matter. Suddenly Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya helped
him in this matter as he came out from there by holding his hand inthis matter. Upon his pledge to the Sheikh he explained him the details
of his dream to him and the Sheikh told him that “On that day I havegiven my hand into your hand.”
Renewal of his pledge.
As per reference from the history book „Tariq Farista‟ that once hewas sitting on the earth in the public kitchen. Due to too much cold he
spread his kitchen‟s small mattress which was on his shoulder on the
earth and he sat on it.For this reason someone had complained in this matter with Hazrat
Nizam Uddin Auliya that Burhan Uddin Gharib used to sit in the public
kitchen on the small mattress . Upon hearing this the Sheikh told that it
is not good and still in his head lust is there. So for this reason he asked
him not to come into his presence. When he heard the Sheikh‟s order inthis matter then Burhan Uddin Gharib became upset due to separation
from of the Sheikh. Many times many friends tried in this matter but the
Sheikh did not accept any recommendation in this matter. When all
endeavors were become unsuccessful then he was requested Amir Qusro in this matter and as he loved him very much so for this reason
Amir Khusro put his turban on his neck and asked him to stay at the
place where the footwear are kept. At that time the Sheikh was doing
ablution while was putting his cap in the bent style on his head and
when Amir Khusro saw the Sheikh then he recited one Persian couplet

with which Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya was too much happy and he
stood and took both of them under his shoulders and was renewed the
pledge of Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib.
Wisdom.
In the reference from the book „Fatuh Auliya‟ that on the day onwhich Hazrat Muntajib Uddin was dead in Khuldabad and on that day
this event was happened that Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya was doing
abulution and the Hazrat Burhan Uddin was there in his service while
hold the water jug and he was pouring water for ablution for him.
Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya asked him whether his brother was elder
or younger with him.? So for this reason Hazrat Burhan uddin was able
to know in this matter that his brother is no more in this world. On the
next day he brought the goods which are required for Ziart (third dayfuneral rites) of his deceased brother Hazrat Muntajib Uddin and he
came into the meeting place of his Sheikh. So all persons who were
present there asked him in this matter. So Burhan Uddin told them that
yesterday Sheikh asked him that whether Hazrat Muntajib Uddin was
his younger or elder brother so by his wisdom he got this idea that his
brother already left this world as word was referring to past tense. After
the end of this meeting the Sheikh told him that he was selected him as
successor of his brother in Khuldabad Sharif so you should proceedsoon to Khuldabad. Upon his Sheikh‟s order he was become silent andwas upset with the thought of separation from his great Sheikh so he
was sad in this matter. But due to manners and etiquette he did not say
anything in this matter. Upon watching this condition and due to his
silence in this matter the Sheikh asked the reason for his silence. So
Hazrat Burhan Uddin told him that he will be left away from his
sandals. So Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya told him to keep the sandals on
his head and due to pain of leaving him and which was so severe that
he was becoming uncontrolled in this matter and he began weeping inthis matter.
So the Sheikh told him why he is reluctant in this matter to go to
Khuldabad Sharif. So he told him with humility and sincerity that he
will be away from his meeting place. Due to his favor and attention he
told him to took away all disciples and caliphs who were present in the

meeting place at that time and to go Khuldabad along with them there.
In the book „Fatuh Auliya‟ it is mentioned that there were total 700 persons and some other historians says that they were total 400 persons
who were present at the meeting place at that time. But Mohammed

Last try.Hazrat Burhan Uddin helplessly started his preparation of his journey
to Deccan and in this matter he tried last time to stay in the company of
his Sheikh and requested him that it is very difficult for him to leave his
company so the Sheikh did meditation in this matter and told him that “Burhan Uddin it is prudence of Allah is there that you should go
immediately to Deccan and be satisfy in this matter that there will no
veil among us.”

5. To take care of my spiritual sister who is living in Doulatabad.
Upon kissing the feet of the Sheikh he left from the residence of his
spiritual master towards his journey to Doultabad.
New city.
Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib along with his friends after coveringmany places and jungle areas and they found one village in healthy
resort of jungle area so they stayed there one night in that village. At the
side of village and at the bank of river Tapti he sat on the stone and
made ablution and prayed in congressional and after his prayer he was
prayed for one big city‟s rehabilitation there and his prayer wasaccepted and one big city was rehabilitated there and its name is well
known as famous as Burhanpur and he left from there after Fajar
(morning ) prayer for his onward journey towards Deccan.After some days of journey he was arrived in Doulatabad which is
also known and famous as „Baghe Roudah‟ in the year 718 Hijri Or 720 Hijri.
Due to his favor and his attention there were great benefits to the
following persons in Doulatabad.
1. Poor persons.
2. Mashaiq (learned persons).
3. Fakirs (Darvish).Also a large number of persons become his disciples and devotees.
The list of persons who came to Doulatabad from Delhi is very
lengthy and if we try to write all of them then it will require a lengthy
book on this matter so for this reason the details of names of pious
persons are not included in this brief episode and only the details of
events of Hazrat Burhan Uddin Garib are added in it.
Prediction of his death.
He was staying in Doulatabad for a period of 18 years upon arrival
from Delhi. When he become 80 years old in the year 735 A.H. then hewas becoming ill so for this reason the persons thought that he will be
died soon. So when he heard this news in this matter then he told
Abdullah Matbaqi that the people are reluctant for his illness but this
time he will be recovered as his spiritual master has given me some
things which are still pending with him. But during his next illness

period which will be continued for a period of 3 years and during such
condition by the grace of Allah I will be benefitted by night of power
(Shabe Qader) and after that time I will leave this world and see the all
Mighty Allah. It means he will be died during his second period of
illness. Abdullah Matbaqi says that the Sheikh predicted his secondillness details before four years and asked him not to say this secret to
anybody. So during his life time I never disclose in this matter to
anybody. So in this way he was recovered from his first period of
illness.
Death.
He was become ill again in the year 736 A.H. And during this period
of illness he was used to weep some time. So the Sheikh‟s disciples
Khaja Mumbark Ghouri who was his disciple once he was in his presence so he told me that Mubark do not think that he is weeping due
to fear of death or illness. But to reason of absence of remembrance of
Allah for a while so he will weep in this matter. The lover of Allah
never weeps for the following conditions.
1. In all condition.
2. Pain or grief.
As the pious personalities used to think that illness and problems are
a mercy from Allah.When his illness extended for longer period so the persons of manifest thought it is illness so they brought experienced
doctors to check his health condition. So the doctors after checking his
pulse beating told that his body was converted as the soul. So for this
reason there is no cure available with us or even the other doctors
could not able to cure him in this matter. Before his death he was in the
following conditions.
1. Engrossment
2. Absorption.
Due to the above conditions when any person will use to come thereto kiss his feet then the servant will call the name of visitor. When his
time of death came nearer when somebody will present there then he
will give something to him and used to ask to leave him. Once he was
distributed many coverlets. During his period of illness he was informed
disciples about his death and place of his burial.At last days of his

death he was called all his disciples one day and give them his special
advises to them. Some time before his death he kept bead of Hazrat
Nizam Uddin Auliya before him and wear turban on his head and he
began saying as follows.
“ That he is Muslim and belongs to Ummat (nation) of Allah‟s final prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) and he is disciple of the
Sheikh. As a matter of fact he was not pious person but he was lived in
the company of pious personalities and did the work of carrying their
sandals and by saying this he was taken his face into prostration on the
bead of Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya.”There is difference about his date of death. As per saying of his
disciple Mujad Uddin that on 12th
Safar 738 A.H. on the Tuesday at the
time of chast (mid-morning) prayer Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib calledhis servants and instructed them to go into the kitchen to eat the food
from there. As per Sheikh‟s instruction all persons who were present
near him were went in to the kitchen for eating the food from there.
Only Khaja Rasheed Uddin who was his disciple was there with him in
his service. He told him where is the dress of our Khaja Sahib and to
bring the same. Khaja Rasheed Uddin told him that the dress is kept in
the room and he moved further to hear what the Sheikh will give
instruction in this matter but upon watching him carefully and foundhim that he was already left the world. On that day the dead body was
kept safely and on the next day on 13th
Safar in the year 738 Hijri. on
the Wednesday treasure (Gunj) of secrets of Allah was buried. As per
tradition it is known that he was died on the 8th

famous in the shrine that when there was no source of income available
to the servants of the shrine then at that time these nails used to grow

Miracles.
As status and position of the Sheikh was increased too much so in the
same way his miracles were also increased. In his life history he
performed so many miracles at different occasions. So for this reason
it is not possible and it is hard task to mention all of them here in this
brief episode. Due to this fact some miracles are mentioned which are
as follows.1. Once a woman came there to see him upon suffering to severe pain
in her head and due to this problem she was very upset and restless in
this matter. She requested him and told him that she had severe pain in
her head so please cut her head or pray in this matter so that she could
find relief in this matter. When he heard her request he was smiled and

told her that if the head will not be broken then her pain will not be
gone. Upon hearing this she left from there to her house and she sat at
the side of one old wall and at that time suddenly one stone was fell on
her head from the upper side and blood was discharged from her head
and upon this there was no more pain in her head.2. As per reference from the book „Gharib Karamat‟ that once two
persons came to see the Sheikh to pledge him but he was accepted one
person for his pledge but he told another person that he had some
doubts or suspicions in mind so he is no good for the pledge. So one
should not visit the darvish person in that condition and it is not good
so it will be termed as insolence in this matter. When the two persons
left from the Sheikh and one person who become his Murid (disciple)
asked him when the Sheikh did not accept you for his pledge and whatis secret in this matter.? So the other person told him that there many
ideas were coming in his mind at that time and some time it were
coming to become his disciple and some time there were ideas in his
mind not to become his disciple. Also there is necessity of bathing for
him.
3. One day one person came there to check the Sheikh and he sat there
in cross legged position and started to discussion on some issue. So in
that condition the Sheikh called him to sit near him so for this reason hewas began shivering due to his discussion and for this reason his first
idea about the Sheikh was left from his mind. In the discussion the
Sheikh told him the details of events which were happened to him
during the period of 12 years and his description were so perfect that as
he was also present there and watched all events personally. In those
past events he was also told him about his love story of a woman so for
this narration that person was surprised in this matter and then he come
become his disciples and pledge to him.
3. One person who was known and famous as Taj Uddin who washaving large family with him but his source of income was very less.
Once he complained his problems with the Sheikh. So the sheikh told
him that if Allah wills there will be available prosperity to him soon but
at that time he didn't live in the world. It is fact that it was happened as
per his prediction.

4. Once Fakher Haider came to see him and he had a thought in her
mind that if the Sheikh is perfect pious personality then he will give
him sugar-candies. So as per his thought the Sheikh was called his
servant and asked him to give some sugar-candies and told Fakher
Uddin do not take examination of the darvish persons.5. Khaja Ramzan says that once in his house all members of his family
were become ill so for this reason his father sent one water pot to the
Sheikh and instructed him to explain the details of condition of illness
of all family members in this matter. So when arrived there and
explained the details of illness to the Sheikh so he did blow over on the
water and asked to give water to all persons except one persons. Upon
reaching back his house he was given water to all persons except that
persons so all patients become well and the person whom the Sheikhwas prohibited to give the water was died.
Quotes.
The Sheikh sayings are too many and some of them are mentioned as
follows.
1. The darvesh should not keep amant (entrusted things) with him and
should not involve in the matters of surety and witness.
2. The darvesh should remove the things which he had in his hand and
in his head it means he should remove money and proud from him.3. The darvesh should not wear thin clothes.
4. The world is like a shadow and when he will go towards it then the
shadow will run ahead of him. When one person who will turn away his
back from the world then it will come to his face side of him in the
same way one who will turn his face toward the world then the world
will to come to his back side and those who will turn away his faces
towards from the world then the word will turn his back towards them.
5. The goat will drink water without making wet of the feet while sitting
on the support of the knees and when she will die then the skin of her body is used for water purpose and in the same way the human being
not allowed any dust particles on his clothes but when he will leave the
world then he will be buried in the earth.

remarks of taunt in this matters.
During those days there was great fame and name for the pious
personality of time Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib and his Samah
(ecstasy) meetings were well known and famous in Khuldabad Sharif.
Many disciples of Hazrat Zain Uddin used to participate in the Samah(ecstasy) meetings of Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib and due to his
attention there was much favor available to them. So for this reason
Sheikh Zain Uddin was upset and angry with their disciples in this
matter.
Event of his pledge.
One day Hazrat Burhan Uddin‟s one disciple who was also deciple
of Syed Zain Uddin went to see him to learn the book „Miskawat al-
Misbah‟ and upon finish of the lesson he was joined in the ecstasymeeting of Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib and due to attention of Sheikh
there was condition of ecstasy on him and this news spread to Hazrat
Zain Uddin.
On the next day in the presence of many Mashaiq (learned persons)
who were his followers he called his disciple and he was upset and
angry with him and told him that “He is also present in the company of dancing people and for this it is very sad thing that he have destroyed
whatever knowledge which he have taught him.” So for this reason thatdisciple was silent and not said anything in this matter. Again he told
him that he will ask one thing so he should reply truly in this matter
whether he is better in knowledge and wisdom or his other spiritual
master. In the beginning the disciple was silent and not replied him in
this matter. But when there too much pressure on him then he replied
him that “He is his lower servant and so he could not dare to reply in
this matter and he could not able to know his status and position and
as well as Hazrat Burhan Gharib‟s status and position in the fields of knowledge and wisdom and so for this reason to show the superiority of each other he is helpless and not able to reply in this matter” . ButSyed Zain Uddin told him that it is sad that being of his disciple he is
not saying truly in this matter. So until he will not say truly then he will
not be relieved in this matter. So in this situation the disciple thought
that his master is very upset and angry in this matter so there is no relief

unless to tell the truth. So he helplessly told that as a matter of fact he is
superior in the knowledge of manifest but Hazrat Burhan Uddin is more
perfect in the knowledge of innermost due to favor and attention of his
spiritual master Hazrat Khaja Nizam Uddin Auliya. So the edge of his
shirt will not get its dust in this matter. Upon hearing this Sheikh was become very upset and angry in this matter. So he went into his room
and brought four sheet of papers on which were written the following
items and problems which he was faced during his entire life of
teaching and instructions of knowledges.
1. Difficult dictionary items.
2. UN-soluble question.
To answer the above questions the learned persons of time were
become helpless in this matter. As per his daily practice he used towrite the same and hope that he will get the answers from the holy
Harem (grand mosque) in Makkah upon his visit to that place. So he
brought the four sheets of papers of his questions and told his disciple
that if his master is superior in the knowledge of manifest and innermost
than him then he should bring the solution of these question in this
matter and he will allow him a period of six months to solve these
question to him otherwise he will punish him severally so that he
should not speak such useless talking in the meeting of the learned persons. So that disciple went from there to see Hazrat Burhan Uddin
Gharib‟s house. On the way he began thinking that if he will have notwent there to study then such difficult and problem would have not
been arise in this matter. So thinking in this matter he reached Sheikh
Burhan uddin Gharib‟s shrine. When Burhan Uddin Gharib looked at
him and told him that come soon here he was waiting for him since long
time. Without his reply he told him that upon the time of difficulty of
Syed Zain Uddin due to help of Allah he used to keep to write all
answers on the some papers. Solution of all problems have beenexplained in different styles so go inside the room and bring 8 paper
sheets from the room and hand over the same to Syed Zain Uddin. After
conveying his Salam tell him that the solution of all questions are
available on the paper sheets. Upon hearing this the disciple was very
happy and took 8 paper sheets and went to hand over the same to his

master Syed Zian Uddin. So he went there and sit there in the position
of folding his two legs with great respect handed over 8 papers of
solutions of the questions to him. Upon seeing the disciple he was
smiled and he thought that due to urgent come back of the disciple
which shows that Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib is helpless to answer hisquestions. So it is impossible for him to answer his questions. His was
thinking as above but during this time the disciple told him that the
solutions of his all questions are presented here with. Upon the checking
the papers Syed Zain Uddin come to know that the papers which the
disciple was brought were not the same which he was sent through him.
So he began his careful study of each and every question from the
beginning and find every question was thoroughly answered clearly and
upon study of all answers the veil of ego was no more there on his eyesof pride and there were indication of changes on his face and there
tears were started from his eyes. So for this reason all disciples
surprised upon the condition of their master but no one could not able to
ask the reason in this matter. At last his heart become restless and so he
stood to see Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib with so much interest and
affection in this matter and he was started towards the shrine of Hazrat
Burhan Uddin Gharib. Also some of his disciples who were perfect in
many knowledges were also accompanied with him as the fate waswritten on his face the line of felicity .So when he reached in his shrine
and when he saw him and run towards him and put his head on his foot
and Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib told him this is not good as per
Islamic (shariat) rule. So Syed Sahib told him that he used to think this
practice against the Islamic rule and for this reason he was kept away
from the grace of innermost in this matter.
As per tradition when he left towards Shrine of Hazrat Burhan Uddin
Gharib then he instructed all his disciples to kept away from the un-
Islamic acts but when reached upper side of Ghat Doulatabad and whenhe looked at the residence of Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib then
suddenly he bow down his head and continued his journey towards his
shrine. When the disciples saw his master‟s action so they could notcontrol in this matter and at last one of disciples dare in this matter and
asked him sir you have acted against the Islamic law and you have

instruction and so what is its reason in this matter.? So first he become
silent and then upon their too much insisting in this matter so he told
them that do you not see that two tigers are running at his sides if he do
not respect of Hazrat Burhan Uddin to this extent in this matter then hedid not know what they will do for him.?. So in this way he reached the
shrine of Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib and kissed his foot so he told
him “Oh : Dawood Hussain this act is not legal as per Islamic rule” andSyed Saheb told him that sir when I did not know in this matter so he
was not aware of the grace of innermost (batini).
Hazrat Burhan Uddin Gharib removed his dust of repentance from
his face and with great respect asked him to sit at his side and called
servant Shad Bakht who is famous with the name of Kaka Sahib to bring something for Moulana Dawood Hussain so he told him that
“Spiritual master know well that nothing is there in the kitchen now.”So he told him in the house of Darvesh there will be something
available so go and bring the same from there. So Kaka Sahib went
again in the kitchen and found there was hot halwa (batter pudding) and
cold water jug was available there so he brought the two things before
Hazrat Syed Zain Uddin and Moulana eat the Halwa (batter pudding)
and drink the cold water. Then he asked his disciples to leave fromthere and after this he pledge to him along with compiler of the

AlangIt is word from Turkish language and its means fort wall. In
Khuldabad Sharif there is one building which is known and famous and
all Muslims think it as holy place. As a matter of fact its structure is not
grand comparing to other grand buildings of Doulatabad but its looks as
holy place. But other buildings are tall and well decorated with
impression and art work but other buildings will not reach to its
greatness. Because in this building Hazrat Syed Zain Uddin lived his
whole life. Since long time this building was known and famous for blessing and greatness and due to this importance it was visited by the
peoples large numbers in the past. Now the condition of this building is
not good but the first floor on which he used to live was also damaged
and only walls are available. Now this building was damaged and
deserted. Maulavi Ghulam Ali Azad wrote one reference about this
building which is as follows.
“ Once one darvesh was coming from the jungle with bundle of firewood on his head to the shrine building. Due to hardships of way
and sun heat he was kept the bundle on the side of the house buildingand he took some rest there and later he came into the shrine building.
They tried to used the wood in the kitchen but there was no effect of fire
on the wood. So for this reason all persons in the shrine asked the
darvesh the details in this matter. So he told them he kept the fire wood
bundle for some time at the side of the house of Hazrat Syed Zain

Uddin while coming from the jungle. After this event when there will be
any death in Doulatabad then the people used bring the funeral and pass
under the north wall of the building so by the grace and mercy of Allah
there will be protection to deceased person from the fire of the hell.
Prediction about his last resting place.Three years before his death he was stayed on the first floor of his
house and two years before his death at the time of chast (mid-
morning) prayer he was called Khaja Shahab Uddin and left from the
prayer mat and went towards eastern Daricha (door) where his
mausoleum is situated and he pointed out him his final place of
resting and told from this place to clear the earth up to Jamat Khana
(meeting place) and this place will be used for his mausoleum. When as
per his instruction they cleared the earth from there and Khaja Shahabuddin requested him to proceed there so he went there and inspected the
spot and said his living and death will be happen on this place.

Roudah is very cold so if he will like then we will take him to Doulabad
so that upon his health recovery he can come back to Roudah again
there. So he said that leave him there because he want to die at the
shrine of his Sheikh because where ever he will die then they will bring
him back to Roudah.

335
335
2. Second time for Safety of the mankind.
3. Third time to keeps away from calamity.
Reciting 3 times Sura Fatiha (first verse from holy Quran) was his
daily practice and routine. Before Zuhar (after noon) prayer some
servants of Hazrat Khaja Shahab Uddin and Hazrat Burhan UddinGharib were present there. Khaja Shahab Uddin told him that servants
want to say something with him and if there will be permission in this
matter so that they present their request. So he told I know it. After
some time he put his thumb on his eyes and asked whether Azan (prayer
call) was over?. So Khaja Shahab Uddin told him the time is near but
prayer call of Azan was not begin. He told yes time is now for the
prayer and asked all persons to ready for the prayer and he went on the
prayer mat. When all persons have finished their prayers then allservants came before him so that he can give them final advises there.
As per reference in the book „Dalail Salikin‟ in which it was writtenthat at his last time there were no goods available with him. Some
things which were left with him and which were given to him as gifts
so he asked the servants to distribute these items and went on the couch.
The persons who were present there requested him for his final advises
and to appoint his caliph. Upon hearing this he was turned his face at
the Qiblah (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer). Moulana Nasir Uddin with dares reminded him in this matter. So he told in Hindi
language the following words and its translation is as follows.
“Do not call me.”
When Shams Uddin Fazal Ullah who was present at that time and
asked all persons to be silent there and told them there is no situation for
this these things. So he did not appoint his successor and caliphate and
not given permission to anybody to make disciples. During the period of
illness he told his special servants that he is not found suitable persons
for his caliphate due to their skill and qualities as well as their endeavors in this matter.
At the time of Asar (evening) prayer there was some condition of un-
consciousness which was prevailed on him and time becoming out for
him. Moulana Aziz Uddin Imam came from his head side and Khaja

As status and position of the Sheikh was increased so in the same
way his miracles were also increased. In his life history he performedso many miracles on different occasions. So for this reason it is not
possible and it is very hard and difficult task to mention all of them
in this small episode. Due to this fact some miracles are mentioned as
follows. We are mentioning herewith one surprising miracle of the
Sheikh which is as follows.
In Delhi one person who is called as Mir Hasan who was young,
educated and handsome, best singer of Delhi was there. His father
arranged his engagement with a very lovely and beautiful girl and inher a local cruel ruler was much interested and want to marry her by
his force and by illegal methods due to her grand beauty and loveliness.
Mir Hasan‟s father tried his best in this matter and he was successful tomarry his son with that beautiful girl. Upon this marriage the cruel ruler
come to know the details in this matter and for this reason he was very
upset and angry and he wanted that Mir Hasan should not do intercourse
with girl in that night so that he will try his best in this matter next day.
So for this reason Mir Hasan worried in this matter upon hearing all
these news in the city. So he went to the house and thought if there will be intercourse with the girl then the ruler will leave his ill will and
ignore the girl so he did intercourse with the girl in the day time to be
free and safe from this great problem. When this matter was known to
the cruel ruler then he was upset and angry in this matter. One day he
ordered his policemen for his arrest and sent him to court for the

ugdement and ordered to cut his genital. So for this reason Mir Sahib
suffered many problems in this matter. As kindness of Allah was there
so he recovered from the problem and left Delhi due to his disrespect
as his name was become bad there and so he directly reached
Doulatabad and present in the service of Hazrat Syed Zain uddin. Upondepeature of Mir Hasan the ruler called the wife of Mir Hasan in his
palace by force. Due to kindness and mercy of Allah when the girl went
into the palace from that day the ruler was suffered in many diseases
and problems so that he was not become successful in his illegal desire
and wishes for the beautiful girl of Delhi.
In Doulatabad Mir Hasan used to live in company of Haztat Syed
Zain Uddin Sahib and some time he used to recite poetry of praise of
God and encomium on the holy prophet and one day he recited some poetry to him and due to this reason there was condition of ecstasy on
Hazrat Syed Zain Uddin Sahib so he stood and started walking here and
there and he was walking for long time. He asked Mir Hasan what do
you need? But he was silent in this matter. Second time he asked him
what did he want ?. Then also he did not replied in this matter and
continued his singing. Third time he asked him in loud noise what did
he want.? So Mir Hasan told him the event of Delhi and requested his
help in this matter in the Persian couplet for his favor of considerationand necessary action.
Upon hearing this he told him to go in side of the corner and see the
miracles of Allah. So Mir Sahib stood suddenly and went into the corner
and looked at his private part and he saw that the genital which was cut
by the order of Delhi ruler was already available on his body due to
kind miracles of Hazrat Zain Uddin Sahib. So in this way he got back
his lost property and due to this reason he thanked Allah in this matter
and ran suddenly and kissed the Sheikh‟s feet and for this reason he was become his disciple upon his pledge to him. Slowly the details of eventof Mir Hasan Qawwal and the miracle of Syed Zain Uddin Sahib
become famous and well known to the general persons.
On the other side the ruler of Delhi who was suffered badly due to
his bad acts and sins and one day upon getting chance visited
Doulatabad from Delhi and visited Hazrat Syed Zain Uddin Sahib and

he also present that beautiful woman in his presence there and explained
his all details of events and he regretted in this matter.
“ Due to his great sin and for this reason he position and status was gotdown and for this reason he is still facing many problems and
difficulties of health and bad results. If your honor will help him in thismatter then it is possible that he will be free from these difficulties and
problems”. And he also presented the woman in his presence and toldhim that still he did not touched her with his hands. From the event of
that time he did not get peace and comfort of a single minute in this
matter and since that period he is suffering from many diseases and
problems. So for all these details you can also get confirmation of facts
from this lady. So Now I want to hand over this lady to her legal
owner. Sheikh Zain Uddin called Mir Hasan and told him this is your wife so you can take her away and she is still pure and nobody did not
touch her so take her to your house. As a matter of fact Mir Saheb‟shad another love as his world of life was changed so he told him that
now he did not need her. So Sheikh told him if you have no desire of
her then divorce her. Mir Sahib given her divorce at the same time.
After completion of Eidat (probationary period of 3 months for
divorced woman) period he was married with the Delhi ruler and both
the husband and wife lived in the company of the Sheikh for some time.After some days the rulers was regained his health due to kind favor of
Allah and due to prayer of the Sheikh. Mir Hasan was died during the

When Qamar Uddin started to live in Aurangabad then the Sheikh
told him that “Qamar Uddin due to your stay here the darvesh will face
difficulties in this matter as the people will come to see him as he isyour spiritual master for recommendations.” So it is better that youshould proceed to Deccan. So Qamar uddin told him that “His throne isin his feet.” Upon this he was presented one stamp and requested him to
put stamp on the plain paper when any needy person will come to see
him in this matter and in this way that person‟s desire and wish will befulfilled by him. So he told him “Qamar Uddin he did not have time to
put stamp on the papers and the person who will get his desires from
invisible source what he will do with it”. So Qamar Uddin helplesslygiven order to Kamgar Khan who was disciple of the Sheikh to hangthe stamp on the door of the shrine. So as per his order the stamp was

paid to him from the Royal Treasury as per rules and regulations. That
person put the stamp on the bond paper and he was presented the bond
paper to Nawab Qamar Uddin Khan. Upon seeing the bond paper
Nawab Qamar Uddin Khan went to see the Sheikh and told him with
folding his hands that your honour you have treated this slave not fit for your service and you have taken the loan amount from another strange
person. So the Sheikh told him that he did not taken loan amount from
him but the stamp belongs to him. In this matter darvesh told him
already that there is no need of stamp for him but you have not agreed
in this matter and you left it on his door. So now you should handle this
work as per you wish and desire in this matter. So give him one Lakh
Rupees amount and take away your stamp from my door. At that time

that he was intended to return back this title to the Sultan of Delhi. The
Sheikh told him why he did want to return back it.? Qamar Uddin told
him that as the Sheikh did not accepted so far any offer from him so for
this reason he want to return back it. When there will be no connection
of the Sheikh with this title he will not accept the same and most probably this thing was told him by his heart. So the Sheikh was silent
for some time and told him “ Qamar Uddin you should be responsiblein this matter that it should not come into the history record and this is
your matter so you should give word to him in this matter‟‟. So in thisway he was accepted his offer. So Nawab Qamar Uddin Ali Khan told
him that he will take care in this matter and he told him further that the
kingdom which was given by him to this slave so it will be called with
Sheikh‟s name and the color of the kingdom will be yellow as per thecolor of the Sheikhs shrine. In this way the kingdom of Qamar Uddin
was become well known and famous in the world as follows and he was

History of Sufi Saints of Aurgangabad.
Aurangabad furnished a genial soil for the spread of the religion of the
Prophet, and was the centre of great missionary movements in the 8th
century of the Hijri. The district is home to the earliest of Sufi saints of
the Deccan.
The town of Khuldabad contains the shrines of the most famous saints
of the Deccan. Initially it was known as Rauza meaning garden of
paradise. It is known as the Valley of Saints, or the Abode of Eternity, because in the 14th century, several Sufi saints chose to reside here.
The tomb of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and his trusted general
Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I first Nizam of Hyderabad are located in
this town, so is the tomb of Malik Ambar.
There is scarcely a village in the district which is without its tomb to
its patron saint, known by the general name of "Aulia". "Saiad" "Wali",
or "Sadat". The "Urs" or the anniversary day of each saint is observed
by the Muhammedans and weekly offerings are also made at some of
the principal shrines, on every Thursday or Friday. The following is a
brief account of the chief Muhammedan saints of the district and the
different orders to which they belonged.

proceeding as far as Mecca, returned once more to Aurangabad.
Shah Mosafar was not welcomed this time by Shah Enait, and moved to
the Mahmud darwaza, where Shah Sherin, an Azad or free dervish was
living. The Azad was well versed in theological literature, but had aregular tavern for his dwelling place as he belonged to the Be-shara
class of fakirs, who are hermits and live without the law. However, he
courteously gave up the mosque, and retired to Sultanganj; and Baba
Shah Mosafar cleared the place of the bhang drinking vessels. As he
belonged to fakirs who are travellers and pilgrims living within the law.
Shah Mosafar settled down to a monastic life, and was visited by

more substantial materials, and added a madrissa, a travellers bungalow,

Tekri and called it "Taimur Beg masjid". In the meantime Ruknud din,
the son of Taj uddin, who had been left behind at Baghdad, as being too
young to travel, had heard nothing of Taj uddin for twenty years, and

Shah Unas.
Shah Unas Quadari flourished at Harsul in the time of Aurangzeb. He
probably came from Constantinople, and belonged to the Kavas-jilar order of dervishes. Kanduri is a feast held in his honor. The elders of the
"Kalbay Kadar ka fakir " come from Bidar to Siwar in the Baijapur
taluka. The members of this order are often absorbed in silent
meditation, with eyes closed or fixed on the ground.
Kalbay Kadar.
There is a Kalbay Kadar tekkieh at Badnapur near Jalna, and another
close to the Killa Arak in the city of Aurangabad. When the latter wasdeserted, it was sold to the Shiahs of the city, who converted the place
into a burial ground. The wealthier Shiahs only temporarily interred
their dead in the cemetery, and afterwards transferred the remains to
Kerbela. Shaha Jang, uncle of the late Sir Salar Jang, was buried in this
cemetery. An inscription over his tomb gives the date of his death as H.
1210.
Chishtiyya.
Chishti Order contains some of the most famous saints of the Dakhan.
Shah Muntajab uddin.
Shah Muntajab ud din, surnamed Zar Zari Zar Baksh, meaning
"generous", was one of the earliest of the Chishtias, and was sent to the
Deccan by Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi, in the beginning of the 8th
century Hijri. He was accompanied by 700 disciples, and is said to haveconverted a Hindu princess near a well at Roza. The place is called
"Sohan baoli" or " pleasing well", and the princess is buried close to the
saint. The tomb of Zar Zari Baksh is between Malik Ambar's tomb and
the northern gate of the town. It contains a number of ornaments and
relics, the most remarkable of which is a circular looking-glass of steel

mounted on a steel pedestal of four feet in height. It is said to have been
presented by king Tana Shah.
Burhan uddin.
Shah Burhan uddin studied under Nizamuddin Auliya, the sultan ul
mashaikh of Delhi; and Saiad Mahomed of Karmania relates in the
"Seyar ul Aulia", that Burhanud din was invested with the mantle and
cap, the symbols of the kaliphat, in succession to the sultan ul mashaikh.
Other writers state, that on the death of Shah Muntajab ud din at
Daulatabad, his brother Burhan ud din was sent to succeed him, and
was accompanied by 1,400 disciples. It appears more probable however,
that Burhan ud din succeeded the sultan ul mashaikh as kaliph, and thathe emigrated to the Dakhan when sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq
transferred the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad. Mujud ud din in his "
Bakiat-el-Gharib" gives a biography of Burhan ud din; and haji Saiad
Baksh and Shams ud din, the nephew of Hasan bin es Sanjari, were the
particular friends of the saint. Burhan ud din allowed music and dancing
in the religious exercises at his convent. He remained for some time at
Daulatabad and then left for Roza, where ho died in H. 741(1344 A. D)
approx.
Opposite the building which contains the tombs of Aurangzeb & Zain-
ud-din is that of Shah Burhanud din. It has a large quadrangular
courtyard having open fronted building on all sides, and a nagarkhana at
the east end. The west end of the quadrangle is used as a school and a
door here gives access to an inner courtyard containing several graves.
Facing the entrance is the tomb of Sayyad Burhan-ud-din. Within the
shrine are preserved some hair of the prophet's beard. The shrine doors
are plated with plates of metal wrought into fanciful designs of trees andflowers. There is a mosque in front of the dargah.
Zain uddin.
Shaikh Zain ud din Daud was born at Shiraz in H. 701 and went to
7/16/2019 MY FOUR BOOKS

366
366
Delhi by way of Mecca. He studied under Maulana Kamal uddin of
Samana, and came with him to Daulatabad. The author of the "Mayrat-
al Walayeh" mentions that Zain ud din on his arrival at Daulatabad,
disapproved of the singing and dancing in the convent of Burhan ud din;
but when he visited the " tekkieh", he was perfectly satisfied, and he andhis companions were initiated in the Chishtia order. Shaikh Zain ud din
held the office of "Qazi" at Daulatabad, and in H. 737 was invested with
the mantle of the kaliphat, but did not actually succeed till after Burhan
ud din's death in H. 741. Shaikh Husain has recorded all the sayings of
Zainu-d din in his "Hidayat ul Kalul", and mentions that in H. 747,
Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq directed him to leave for Delhi with the
other inhabitants. After the death of the sultan, his successor Firoz Shah
permitted the saint to return to Daulatabad. Zainu-ddin was greatlyrespected by the Bahmani king Sultan Mahmud, who was first reproved
by the saint for misgovernment. Malik Raja the founder of the Faruki
dynasty of Kandesh became one of Zainu-ddin's disciples, and when the
next sovereign Nasir ud din Nasir Khan Faruki captured Asirgarh in
A.D. 1399, Zainu-ddin went expressly from Daulatabad to Asirgarh, to
tender his congratulations. It was to commemorate this visit that the
town of Zainabad, on the left bank of the Tapti, was founded after him;
and Burhanpur on the opposite bank was founded about the same timein honor of Burhan uddin. Zain ud din died in H. 771, and a handsome
mausoleum was erected over his tomb at Roza, which is visited by
devout Musalmans of the Deccan. The relics of the "parahan" (the robe
of the prophet) and "taj" given to Burhanu-d din on succeeding to the
caliphate, are carefully preserved in a wooden box placed in one of the
apartments of Zain uddin's dargah. Every year on the 12th Rabiu-l
Awal, the sacred hair of the Prophet is first shown to visitors, and then
the "parahan", the " taj,' and a few likenesses of some of the most sacred personages among the Mahomedans are exhibited.
The tombs of Azam Shah, of his Begum, and of a Mahomedan saint,
are in a small enclosure to the east of Zainu-d din's mausoleum; while
Aurangzeb's tomb lies to the west. Opposite this last is a large

quadrangular courtyard, having open-fronted buildings on all sides, and
a "nakar-khana" or Samah (ecstasy) hall at the east end. The west end is

populated, was for a long time in the hands of Saiads, whose tombs are
scattered over the kasba and pet, and are objects of veneration to the
inhabitants. He peopled the eastern portion of the town and died in H.
792. On the Urus day, the spire of the dome over his tomb is adorned by
the Mainars or builders of Paithan with a " turra" or tuft, at the
ceremony called " turra churhana", to commemorate the crested turban
which Saiad Sadat wore. The Mainars, the Dhanday Momins, and the
descendants of the Moghals and Persians who settled about Paithan in
the time of Aurangzeb, are among the "khadims" of Saiad Sahib. A date

Kanhar hills. Great reverence is paid to this boulder by the Hindus and
Mahomedans of the surrounding country. Shah Bu Ali afterwards went
to the Punjab and died there. The Mewatis of Kunjkhaira in the Kanhar

belonged. Data Wali never left his "tekkieh" which is outside the Jalna
darwaza, and when he died, was buried in the convent.
Jan Alla Shahi.
JAN ALLA SHAHI - A sect founded at Jalna by Jan Mohammed,
who was born at Sinnur near Delhi in H. 1030. He was early left an
orphan, and started with his brother for Baghdad; and on completing his
studies, was instructed at the tomb of 'Abdul Kadar Jilani to proceed to
the great spiritualist, Miranji of Burhanpur. After studying with Miranji
for five years, Jan Mahomed's name was changed in open congregation
to Jan Alla (Life of God), and that of his brother to Bab Alla (Door of
God). In H. 1046 he started for Mecca accompanied by the ancestors of
the present "khadims;" and on his journey, was assisted by the "Jins."
Jan Alla.
After an absence of twelve years Jan Alla was instructed to proceed

to Jalna, which he did by way of Baghdad. On arriving at Aurangabad,
he occupied a chamber on the left of the Jumma masjid of Malik Ambar,
and was quite a recluse, performing the "Sunnat" prayers in his own
room, and only the "Fars" prayers in the mosque. His sanctity was
noised about, and he was invited to Jalna by haji Bur Khurdar the
faujdar. Aurangzeb also wished to see him and went for the purpose to
the Jumma masjid, and even to the " Hujra" or chamber, but did not
succeed in his object. A copy of a letter is still shown, which is said to
have been written to Jan Alla by order of Aurangzeb. The emperor next
sent his vizier, but before the latter could come, Jan Alla and his brother
had quietly gone away to Mungi Paitan, and from thence proceeded
with Abdur Rahman, the deputy faujdar, to Jalna. Aurangzeb then sent
prince Muazzam to Jalna, and the saint received the prince kindly in asmall dwelling in a mango grove where Jan Alla's tomb has since been
erected. It was on this occasion that Jan Alla received a sanad
(certificate) for five hundred bighas of land near Jalnapur, where
Kadrabad and the cantonment now stand.
Quadims (servants):
Khadim Shah Abdul Wahab, or Janaza Rawan, a "khadim" of Jan
Alla, conducted the funeral services for the colony of Kadrabad. He
compelled the "Jins" to carry him on his cot to Bijapur, to meet Shah
Azimu-d din or "Tazim Turk" who mistook him for Jan Alla. Of the
other "khadims", Hidayat Alla in H. 1070 copied Imam Gazib's work in
the Kufio character. In H. 1085 Ali Bin Mohammed wrote the "
Monovarul Kalub", a work on spiritualism. Haji Shah Ismail was buried
at Bajipura in Aurangabad ; and his grandson Amam Alla's tomb is near
Jan Alla's in Jalna. Amam Alla wrote a Persian work in H. 1169. Saiad
'Abdulla was a "mohudis" versed in tradition; and Mian HajiMohammed Kasim was tutor to Bahadur Shah I. Miral Hasan was a
studious khadim who died at Haidarabad, and his remains were
transferred to Kadrabad. He was a prominent subject of H. H. Nasir-ud-
Daula, and was contemporary with Maulvi Shaja ud din of Hyderabad,
and Alla Wali Sahib of Burhanpur, two of the most learned men of the

time. Nur-al Hasan or Gholami Sahib collected a number of books, and
had the honor of bringing from Mecca, a copy of the Quran, and a
sacred book called Dalail-us Sharif", which he kept in Jalna. The clan
of Ghori Pathans found about Jalna belong to the "khadims" of Jan
lla. They fought under Ranmust Khan against raja Sambha of Sattara;and Nahir Khan, a Ghori Pathan, held Jalna in jaghir. According to an
inscription, Nahir Khan built the 'Ambad darwaza with a bastion on
each side, and a well and masjid for his spiritual director Shah Miran.
There is another mosque close by, which was built by Sultan
ohammed, son of Malik 'Abdulla Beg, faujdar of Jalna.
Nirgun shah Wali.
Nirgun Shah Wali came from Bengal, and lived as a recluse at
Nidhara, two miles north of Jalna. His principle was, "retirement from
the eyes of the world, and cessation from seeking the honor and respect
of any one." When Aurangzeb was at Jalna, he is said to have visited
Nirgun Shah Wali. Many others called to see him, including Jan Alla,
Bab Alla, Raja Bagh Sawar., and Nirgun received them, seated on a
stone which is still pointed out. He also paid return visits, and took with
him a starling (maina), which was always his companion and was able
to talk. There is a story current, that Nirgun was murdered by the patels
of Nidhara and Tandulwara, for the sake of this maina, which Jan Alla
coveted It is said that three days after Nirgun's death, Jan Alla gave a
great feast to all the dervishes, on which occasion, the, maina pointed
out the corpse of Nirgun, and denouncing Jan Alla as his murderer, fell
down dead upon its master. From that day, Jan Alla was stigmatised as "
Jan Alla maina mar", and the fakirs of the Nakshbandi, Quadaria,
Madaria, Rafai, Sada Sohag, and Jalali orders, and the numerous sects
to which these gave rise, consider the khadims of Kadrabad out of casteand will not eat with them. The khadims on the other hand deny the
accusation, and assert that there was no talking bird, but that the maina
refers to a woman named mana. They further state that the woman was
instructed to say that she had been cruelly wronged, because the other
dervishes were envious of the 500 bigahs of land which the khadims

possessed. Regarding Nirgun the khadims and the patels of Nidhara and
Tandulwara affirm, that he was a " ghaus", and that at midnight, in one
of his acts of worship called " Tahajud", the intensity of his devotion
was so great, that his head and limbs fell asunder.
Rafai.
RAFAI - Founded in Syria in the 6th century Hijri by Saiad Ahmad
Rafai, nephew to Abdul Kadar Jilani. The Rafais are celebrated for their
penances with red-hot irons, and are also called howling dervishes. The
order was introduced into Aurangabad by Rahmat Alla Shah Rafai in
the time of Aurangzeb; and the members became very numerous in the
days of H. H. Nizam ' Ali Khan, when there were 360 houses belongingto them in Aurangabad. During the subahship of Shabar Yar Jang, the
Rafais cut themselves with lances whenever alms were refused them.
Rahmat Alla.
Rahmat Alla came from Baghdad, and lived for thirty years in
Mosafar Shah's "tekkieh" at Panchakki. He then moved into a house in
Aurangpura which Aurangzeb's steward built for him. His tomb is
beyond the western gate of Aurangabad. Medina Sahib came from
Medina, and his frenzy as a Rafai is still spoken of by dervishes. He was
buried inside the Jafar darwaza. Masum Shah was a famed Rafai of
Tisgaon Mori, ten kos from Paitan towards Ahmadnagar. He often
visited Kadrabad and built a "tekkieh" near the "Ranger khirki." He was buried in front of the "darga" of Nur Shah Wali. Chand Bi founded
Chandaigaon in the Baijapur taluk, and held it in fief under Malik
Ambar. It is said that the earth from the grave of Chand Bi has a
salutary effect on those bitten by snakes, so that she probably belonged
to the Saadi order, the fakirs of which go about with snakes. The

ordinary snake jugglers of the district are called "Miran-Summa-ka-
garuri", and are followers of Miran Sum-ma, whose shrine is at Mirj
Tajgaon near Kolhapur.
Biabani.
BIABANI - Originated with a disciple of Nizam ud din Aulia, called
'Abdulla, who interceded with the emperor Babar on behalf of certain
Saiada, but without success. He then retired to Mandur and requested
the governor to be allowed to dwell unmolested in the "Biabani" or
desert, from which the order took its name.
Abdul Karim.
The Biabanis of 'Ambad are descended from 'Abdul Karim the son of
'Abdulla. According to some writers, 'Abdul Karim and four of his
relatives came from the Arabian desert to "Ambica" or 'Ambad, and
hence they were called "Biabani" or children of the desert. They settled
down near a Hemad Panti well called "Mahadari baoli" in proximity to
the "Shamsher masjid", and were known as the "Panj Pir Biabani" or the
five Biaban elders. 'Abdul Karim belonged to the Rafai order, and
married the daughter of Sankaray Sultan Mushkil 'Asan, whose shrine isat Kandahar near Nanded. The tombs of the five Biabanis are within the
walls of the 'Ambad fort, and are situated to the north.
Zain uddin.
Zain ud din Biabani, the son of Abdul Karim, who was born in H.
811 at 'Ambad, became the Rafai caliph in H. 811, and died in H. 909.
His fakirs inhabited the village of Fukrabad, a mile from 'Ambad; and a
hill close by, on which he was fond of spending his time in meditationand prayer is called "Fukrabad-ka-pahar." The tombs of his mother and
wife are also at Fukrabad, and are called respectively "Pirani Man" and
"Bua Man." Offerings of sugar-candy and dates are made to the former.
The Biabanis have a tradition that Zain uddin was on one occasion seen
by a woman in a convulsive state of religious ecstasy. The woman

swooned away, but recovered after an hour, and observed something
moving under a scarlet cloth (sakilat). In her fright, she called out "
Sakilati Sahib" several times, which attracted the attention of passers
by, but on examination the movement ceased, and only a " sakilat" or
scarlet cloth was found. To commemorate this event, a tomb was raised,which for eight months in the year is much frequented by the
surrounding population and by the women in particular; but it is not
visited during the rains. The tomb is called "Baghwan" and " Sakilati
Sahib" or " Sakalati Bawa", and sacrifices and offerings are made to it
on Thursdays and Fridays. It is thus a source of revenue, and was a
subject of dispute between two rival parties. A commission was
appointed in H. 1284, which settled the matter in favor of the "khadims"
of Ravna and Parora. These assert that 'Alau-d din was buried beneaththe tomb in the nalla, and that they are the descendants of his
"kluidims."
Ala-uddin.
He was the son of Zianu-d din, a native of Gujarat, who married a
daughter of Burhan ud din and died at Roza. He visited the tombs of the
saints of Gulbarga and Bidar, and was returning to Roza by way of '
Ambad, when he is said to have encountered a troublesome band of demons, and in fighting with them, 'Alau-d din suffered martyrdom. The
"sakilat" or scarlet cloth which he wore served as a shroud for his
remains, and hence he is called " Sakilati Sahib."
Shah Ashraf .
Shah Ashraf the son of Zain ud din assisted the army of a governor of
Daulatabad, who changed the name of 'Ambika to Ambad, and
endowed the " tekkieh" at Fukrabad with lands and cash. There is a
local saying that "Ashraf the Biabani supplies bread to the hungry and
water to the thirsty."
Sakray Sultan.

377
377
Sakray Sultan is reckoned among the great saints of the Dakhan. His
tomb is at Kandahar in the Bidar district, and there is a "chilla" to him
on the platform above the subterranean passage in the Daulatabad fort.
Some Hindus think that the "chilla" contained an image of Ganpati, andsay that it was removed to Kaigaon Toka in H. 1207. The place is held
in more or less reverence by both Mahomedans and Hindus, and
especially by the females. According to a "khadim" at Roza, who is the
guardian of this "chilla", Sakray Sultan came with the missionaries who
accompanied Burhan ud din, and his proper name was Ain ud din. The
missionaries separated at Roza, and Ain ud din proceeded to Kandahar,
but before leaving for that place, he performed a "chilla" or fast at
Daulatabad.
Madaria.
MADARIA - One of the four Tafuria sects founded in Asia Minor by
Badi ud din Rustami surnamed Zinda Shah Madar. The Madaria is in
four subdivisions,-1 Diwangan, 2 Talban, 3 Ashkan, and 4 Khadman.
Some of the fakirs are jugglers, or take about bears, monkeys, &c, from
place to place; while others go about playing on a fiddle and singing in
praise of Shah Madar. The Madaria do not shave their beard andmoustaches on being initiated; and when any person has gained the
object of his desires, he invites the fakirs of this order to perform a
ceremony called dhammal Those who allow their hair to grow are called
malang, and adopt celibacy like their preceptor.
Shah Gul Husain.
About H. 1000 Shah Gul Husain, also called Shah Nur Ganj Lashkar,
and Shah Daud Ganj Lashkar Maghrobi,two Madaria fakirs, came to
Roza and Aurangabad respectively, to propagate the tenets of their
order. Shah Nur Ganj's tomb is near the " Nakhar Khana" gate of Roza;
and Sultan Saiad Shah Nur, one of his kaliphs, was buried near the
Pangri gate. Zabarak Ali Shah another kaliph was taken by H. H. Nizam

'Ali Khan to Hyderabad, but he subsequently returned to Roza where he
died, and was buried near the Chauk. Shah Daud Ganj Lashkar
Maghrobi introduced the suborder Diwangdn into Aurangabad. His
tomb stands near the "tekkieh" called "Til-ki-Mundi."
There are "astanas" and "tekkiehs" at Sangwi, Salaikaon, Dhamori,
Borgaon, and Lasur in the Gangapur taluk; at Kandalla in the Baijapur
taluk; and at Roza, inhabited by one or more fakirs of the Khadman
subdivision; while Salal Ghogargaon and other villages contain "
tekkiehs" of the Diwangdn subdivision. The Talban sect is not
represented.
Chingi Shah.
He came about a hundred years ago to 'Ambad, and introduced the
Ashkan subdivision. Joat 'Ali the Sain, also of this subdivision, came
from northern India and died at Debgaon Murmi in the Gandapur taluk
in H. 1275. He was accompanied by a Hindu ascetic, who retired to
Kaigaon Toka; and was himself a Kanoja Brahman, but was
subsequently converted. Joat 'Ali was also called "Malang Shall
Maharaja", and was in
Tabkati.
TABKATI - The fakirs of this order beg from door to door and many
of them are athletes. The athletic arts and the "talims" of Aurangabad
owe their origin to Pir Murshad Chatan Shah who came from Upper
India in the 17th century of the Christian era. Fata Shah was an athlete
of Aurangzeb's time, and won a wrestling match at Mujunburj, one of
the bastions near the Delhi gate, against " Makhna pahalwan", an Ahir
athlete. He was buried in the "Fata Shah-ki-talim" to the left of the road
loading into the Paitan gate. At the foot of the grave is the tomb of his
friend Mausaras, a Hindu convert; and close by are the tombs of Pir
Murshad Chatan Shah and of two others.

boulder which he lifted is shown within the Nagar darwaza. This stoneis chunamed every year, and is held in great reverence. A smaller
boulder which stands near is said to cure persons suffering from
lumbago. The Hindus ascribe the healing properties to a certain "taili"
or oilman; and offer "gur" and "chana" to the stone. Shah Kuds Shah
was buried near his "talim" outside the Nagar darwaza; and mothers
bring their children when they begin to walk, and present offerings to
the tomb.
Sada Sohag.
Sada Sohag owes its origin to Musa Sohag of Ahmedabad. The
members dress in women's attire, and wear a "dupata" of deep red
colour. About 50 years ago, Bahar' Ali Shah of Tonk sent two Sada
Sohag fakirs, Golah Shah and Chamali Shah, to Aurangabad. They
lived in Nawabpura, and erected a "tekkieh" to the right of the Jafar
darwaza. Chamili Shah went to Hyderabad, and Golah Shah
subsequently joined him, but died soon after his arrival and was buriedat Gadjigora. Shah Bungri Lahil of this order was buried in front of the
"Rakash-ki-masjid" at Jalna. Young Mahomedan females visit the tomb
to consult their prospects of marriage, and tie a piece of cloth on the "
turbet" in evidence of their "nazars" or vows. After marriage, they offer
prayers at the tomb, and present one of their marriage bangles.

numbers of Hindus and Mahomedans.
Tuttu sodagar.
Tuttu Sodagar was a wealthy merchant of Surat and a Bohra by caste,
who built the "Tuttu " darwaza of Jalna (city) in H. 1126. He died near the 'Ambad gate, on his way back from Rakisbon, and was buried near
the mosque which he built. There were six other rich Musalmans, and in
former days Jalna was noted for its wealth. According to an old Urdu
proverb, "the children in Jalna were lulled to sleep in cradles of gold",
and a kasar or dealer in bangles named Gangaji, is said to have had such
a cradle. Malis and poor people offer fruit to Pir Ghaib Sahib's tomb in
front of the "Tuttu " darwaza.
Similar presents are made to the darga of Dervash Shah Awaz on the
Aurangabad road, - especially by the dhobis, in order to preserve the
clothes in the " bhattis" from getting burnt.

Jamshad Khan.
Jamshad Khan built the "Kali" masjid, inside the Mecca gate, together
with the "hammam "or bath, and the "sarai." He also constructed thelarge tank at Jalna, and laid down pipes and reservoirs for the water
supply of the city. Jamshad Khan flourished in the 10th century of the
Hijri, and was buried in his garden to the north of Jalna. The cultivators
sacrifice to his tomb, so that their erops may not suffer. A masjid at
Georahi, not far from Jalna, is resorted to by Hindus and Mahomedans,
as it is believed to possess powers of divination. A saint Rafi ud din is
said to have possessed similar powers, and his masjid has a " woqf " or
pious legacy of 200-bigahs of land, granted by Aurangzeb.
Bahar Khan.
He was a religious man that came from Bidar to Ranjani in the 8th
century Hijri. A mosque beyond Ranjani was built by his wife Ayisha
Bi; and near it is the dargah of Latif Shah Aulia.
Gudar Shah Wali arrived in Aurangzeb's time, he erected a mosque. A
mound called "Islam tekri" at 'Ambad contains an old Mahomedan
building known as "Fatehay Islam" or the "conquest of Islam". A piece
of land at the foot of the tekri is appropriated as a "waqf" in support of
the mosque.
Nur Shah Wili's tomb is outside the Shahgarh darwaza. He made
lanterns, which the inhabitants purchased as votive offerings; and at his
death he left his money to a Hindu devotee. The"chilla" of Maul 'Ali is
on one of the tekris of ' Ambad. The Jumma masjid is ascribed to Malik
Ambar. The Mecca masjid is attributed to a devout Musalman whoconstructed it about 200 years ago; while others affirm that it was raised
by the Kharar Khani Pathans who served in Holkar's army. A colony of
these Pathans settled at 'Ambad, and built a mosque to the west of the
town. 'Ambad further contains a " Kadami Resul" or footprint of the
Prophet, which is placed on a brick platform covered over with a small

dome, within the Auranga'bad gate There is a tradition that seven Saiads
of Arabia were commissioned to deliver Paitan from four goddesses,
Hatai Devi, Durga Devi, Revona Devi, and Agna Devi; and that on their
arrival, they were arrested and imprisoned in a cave.
Muizu-ddin.
Maulana Muiz ud din, popularly called Maulana Moaz, or Maulana
Sahib, a native of Shiraz, proceeded to Mecca at an early age, and was
directed to liberate the seven Saiads. He left for Paitan, which was then
presided over by Revona Devi; and in a battle fought outside its walls,
lost many faithful attendants and disciples. The Maulana triumphed in
the end, and the seven Saiads were released; but they died soon
afterwards, and their tombs are pointed out in a mosque called "Sat-
Saiadon-ki-masjid." The saint's darga, which stands in front of this
mosque, has a little room attached to it for holy meditation; and his
disciples resort to this room in times of difficulty. Each Momin or
Mahomedan weaver of Paitan subscribes 8 annas per cent from his
income for the maintenance of the darga. According to some people, the
Maulana obtained his surname of " Moaz", which means a " wave , from
having saved a ship that was foundering; and according to others, he
received the name from having miraculously brought up waves of water to quench the fires. Samah (ecstasy) meeting is allowed at his dargah,
and the Urus is observed by Hindus as well as Mahomedans.
Abdulla Changal.
Abdulla Changal accompanied Maulana, and had a contest with a
demon called Goglia, who presided over a village of that name in
British territory 1½ miles from Paitan. Both 'Abdulla and Goglia
perished, and the former was buried beyond the mud walls of the
village. Sona Mian, called also Eusaini Saiad and Siddiki Shaikl was
another companion of the Maulana's, and suffered martyrdom at
Seogaon, 14 miles from Paitan. His head was buried at Khontaphul, 2
miles nearer Paitan, and the body at Seogaon. Shah Mian Duryai, a

general merchant of Arabia, possessed many ships, and it was one of
these that Maulana Moaz is said to have saved in a storm. He gave up
his wealth and joined Maulana's band, and his tomb is inside the
gateway of the saint's darga. Shah Mian erected a mosque, nakarkhana,
and house for travellers, within the precincts of the darga.
Moiz-uddin.
Moizu-d din the Bhandari came with the band of missionaries that
accompanied Mantajabu-d din; and his duty was to take charge of the
stores and distribute cooked provisions to the different members. He
was also surnamed "Nanpash", or the bread-giver. After the party
arrived at Roza, Moizu-d din and five others left for Gangapurbarri, the
present Gangapur. A gosain was practising austerities in a "mat", from
which he retired before the new-comers; and the Nanpash and his party
dismantled the building and erected a mosque on the site. Gangapurbarri
was then infested with freebooting Mangs, the Mangs offered human
sacrifices. The saint tried to convert these outlaws, when a religious war
ensued; and in H. 748, the Nanpash, Saiad Kharay Pir Pakhar Sahib,
and many others suffered martyrdom. The survivors however,
succeeded and a mausoleum to the Nanpash was built. Newly married
couples kiss the threshold of the tomb; and presents of food, . areoffered in times of sickness. The nakarkhana attached to the dargah was
built by a Kharar Khani Pathan in fulfilment of a vow. The tomb of
Saiad Kharay Pir Pakhar Sahib is to the east of Gangapur, and is
frequented by the poorer people on Thursdays.
The seven Saidas.
The Mangs continued their depredations till the advent of the seven
Saiads, who surprised the freebooters, and numbers of the latter settled
down to a peaceful life; but the wilder spirits still kept at large, and in a
subsequent raid, succeeding in killing the seven Saiads. After this, the
depredations gradually ceased, as the Saiads destroyed the jungle of

brush wood that was used as an ambush. The descendants of the Saiads
were also made patels of Gangapurbarri, an office which is still partly in
their hands. A legend about Gangapurbarri relates that a Mahomedan
saint miraculously supplied a large quantity of "ganda" or sugar-cane
uice, to some ruler who was passing by and was famishing with thirst.When the prince heard the name of the place, he requested that it should
be called "Naishakarpur,'" in reference to the sugar-cane juice; and this
was changed to a similar word in Hindostani, Gandapur. The "Shahi
Bagh", or royal garden, commemorates the event, but it exists in name
only, and is covered with cultivation. When the"janazah" or bier of the
emperor Aurangzeb was being carried from Ahmadnagar to Khuldabad,
it was kept for the night in the "Shahi Bagb." A "chilla" or cenotaph was
erected on the spot, but it has since fallen down. A similar "chilla" was built at Botaibargaon, 12 miles north of Gandapur.
Saiad sadat.
Saiad Sadat of Waluj came with the Mahomedan missionaries of the
8th century Hijri, and lost his head in fighting at Balore in Berar; but the
body is reputed to have continued fighting till it reached Waluj, where it
fell down and was buried. The dargah was erected in H. 1100 by a
Beldar, in fulfilment of a vow, and is frequently visited by the villagers.Behind the dargah is the tomb of Saiad Sadat's brother, Saiad Summon,
who came with him from Balore. A niee tree close by is said to possess
some remarkable qualities. Kanhar has a dargah to Saiad Sahib, another
to Sidi Sahib, and a third to Imam Sahib. A mosque near the kacheri
was built by Momin Khan, one of the Khatkar Pathans who were
stationed at Kanhar to protect the country from the ravages of the Bhils.
There is a dargah at Pisora to Muskin Shah Mian; and another called
"Chihal-tan-ki-dargah " contains a brick that was brought from Medina.Sillode possesses a masjid erected by Haji Kabir of Northern India. He
