Preface
From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts
reading this books 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 saint are added and these holy Sufi saints were 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
7
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 Muslim saints and Mystics (Tadhkirtal al-
Awliya by Farid al din Attar) which is very 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 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 Allahs last prophet.
To write about these great Sufi saints which were mentioned
in this small book 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 the Southern Indian region but they were also a great
Sufi Masters in the Southern Indian region who struggled hard
for the preaching and propagation of Islam centuries ago, so in
brief among them, some were Qutubs (highest cadre in
spiritual pivot at axis) of their time in the Deccan (South India)
region and who did many great endeavours 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 two chapters added in it.
During the year 2017 the magazine about biography, details
of Hazrat Tamim Ansari are added in this book and which is
very old and belongs to the year 75 Hegira Islamic calendar.

His one more miracle which is very famous and well known
in the city of Chennai and which even known by the boys is that
when the city of Chennai was become dark due to flood
destructions but the electric lamp which was on the mausoleum
was working well and this event was happening on 10th of
October during the year 1943 when there was heavy rain fall in
Madras city and for this reason there was great flood which was
effected the city and there were huge loss and causalities in the
city and there was cut of the power supply in the city but the
electric lamp which was on the mausoleum was working well.
This historic event and great miracle of the Sheikh was recorded

problems and difficulties in his life and which are mentioned in the
following paragraph. Hazrat Khaja Rahmatullah lost his mother at a very
early age after that his father Hazrat Khwaja Alam was married for the
second time. As his father was married to another lady and his step
mothers behavior was not well with him so for this reason Syed Khwaja

his native place Bejapur to Kurnool and he 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 staying with a maternal aunt in
Kurnool. His maternal aunt is well known and famous for his piousness

Live miracle.
The news report of his great miracle has been published in daily
Urdu newspaper Rehumai Deccan Hyderabad on 12th March 1981.
Once one lorry driver Mr. Saleem was coming to Hyderabad from
Bombay and on the way in place of Jalkot one male and female cobra
snakes have come to the center of the road and for this reason the male
cobra was died suddenly due to the accident by the lorry of Mr. Saleem
on the spot and female cobra entered into the lorry cabin and she sat
there and for this reason some persons had killed her immediately.
Mr.Saleem, who was at 26 years old has came to his house in
Hyderabad and after some days his health become seriously ill and his
habits and movements were converted like cobra snake and he was
started crawling like snake and for this reason his mother took him to
many places of spiritualists for his health recovery but there was no
benefit at all.
After some time his mother has arranged the marriage of Mr. Saleem
with Miss Durdana. After marriage Mrs. Durdana has also become a
patient of the evil spirits and her habits and movements were also
converted as female cobra. Due to the serious condition of Mr. Salem
and his wife the parents were becoming upset and worried in this matter
and they took them to many places for their check up by spiritualists for
their cure and recovery but there was no benefit for them.
So as per advice of Mr. Saleems friend the couple have visited
shrine of Hazrat Khaja Rehmatulla Saheb of Rahmatabad in Nellore
district and they stayed there for some days but due to no money for the
expenses for their stay there and for this reason they were planning to
come back to Hyderabad city and at that time in the dream they got
message that they should take ration of 100 Rupees from the shop
which is opposite of the shrine for free of charge and so they have taken
ration from the above shop without payment of cost and the shop owner
did not demanded money upon the delivery to goods to them.
24
After some time they were instructed in their dream to proceed to the
shrine of Hazrat Yousuf Saheb and Shraif Saheb at Hyderabad. So they
have reached there and stayed there for some time. During their stay at
the above shrine they were further instructed in the dream to proceed
the shrine of Syed Meeran Hussaini at Lunger House .
From the resident of Mr. Saleem which is located at the first Lancer
area of the hillside they came to the shrine of Syed Meran Hussaini at
Lunger House area and at the shrine they have been advised for a bath
at the well of the shrine and after the bath both of them were taken for
the visit of the shrine for some days. In the shrine area their habits and
movements of snakes like creeping and hiss continued and for this
reason the visitors noticed their habits and movements of snakes and
this news was spread in the city so for this reason a large number of
persons came to the shrine to see them and watch their habits of snakes.
Due to the large number of visitors and gathering there was problem to
control the large number of persons in the shrine and for this reason one
police outpost was established under the supervision of the circle
inspector Mr. Ahmed Ali Khan of police station Asif Nagar and
following police men were allotted duties in the police outpost at the
shrine area.1.Mr. Ishaque.2.Mr.Abdul Razzaq.3.Mr.Abdul Razzaq.4.Mr.
S.R. Goud.
Also the above police staff watched the creeping and hiss condition of
the couple. As per the statement of policeman Mr. Abdul Razzaq that
when there will be a condition of invocation of spirits of Mrs. Durdana
then she used to say to get back her husband and then she used to climb
on the pole like snake. On the 4th February when there was a condition
of invocation of spirits on them they both said Baba now we are
going and then they slept there for some time and upon their wake up
they become normal and in perfect health due to the spiritual favour and
help of the Syed Meeran Hussaini Saheb. Upon the above problem of
evil spirits Mr. Saleem has discontinued his lorry driving work and but
upon his recovery of his good health he has continued the work of lorry
driving. And his wife Mrs. Durdana also become perfect and her health
was also improved very well by the kind blessings of the Sheikh.
25
Great miracle.
It is fact that miracles are performed by the holy and pious
personalities of Allah. And those holy and pious persons who have
ended their lives in the love of Allah and his prophet and for this reason
their name and fame will be continued till the day of judgment. From
the particles of soil of their mausoleums there will spread the spring of
Faizan (favour) and always there will be rain of Anwar (light) and
Tajilat (divine light). But my masters great miracle is that a large
number of people who will present in the shrine from various walks of
life, irrespective of caste and creed, assemble there and pray there for the
recovery of diseases and for the fulfillment of their desire and wishes
.His favour and affection is same and equally to all persons who will
present there in his court and pray there for the recovery of diseases and
fulfillment of desires.
For 239 years the people have been watching the miracles of the
Sheikh and it will be continued till the day judgement and that the
number of devotees of the shrine is not in a thousand, but it has
exceeded many millions people from various walks of life, irrespective
of caste and creed, assemble there and pray there for the recovery of
diseases or for the fulfillment of their desire and wishes. Not only from
Hyderabad but from many other places learned persons and pious
personalities also used to visit the shrine and pay their visit. I am not
wrong if I mention that the large numbers of people who visit the
shrine are included other than Muslims irrespective of caste and creed
will present in the shrine and garland the mausoleum and pay respect
and honour there. A symbol of national integration, communal harmony
and social justice.
"And He (Allah) it is who hath produced you from a single being (Al-
Qur'an-Al-Anaam-99).
As it is said in the holy Qur'an that all human beings are the offspring
of the first man (prophet Adam), there should not be any discrimination
among the people as all are equal. The Sufi-saint Hazrat Syed
Rahmatulla (R.A.) attempted to remove the barriers of caste, creed,
26
Among them those pious people 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 approach 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 light 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 the darkness
of the 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 for seven years there has been no rainfall and for this reason a
larger number of persons were dying 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 his
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
rainfall and Allah has accepted his prayer , and for this reason there was
a great rainfall 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
28
spread throughout the area of Kurnool region and it was also reached to
the palace of Nawab Sahib. The Nawab Sahibs daughter has 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.
At night the daughter of Nawab Sahib saw in her 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
daughters dream so Nawab Sahib has called Najumies (astrologers) in
this matter and they have informed him that the girls marriage will be
celebrated with a pious personality of his time.
So for the reason Nawab Sahibs 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 persons family
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 girls
mind then ask her to remove the same.
From that day the girl began to live in sadness 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 falling
down and became un-conscious and after many cures she could not
become well and not returned back in her normal condition of health and
in those days the Sheikh 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
with this matter and upon his consultations with her mother and other
29
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 and have 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 begin 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 mausoleums public kitchen house daily the soup (ash) is
used to be distributed to all poor and needy persons. Once the Sheikh
was present in the mosque and the poor persons were gathered in the
public kitchen to receive the soup (ash) so for this reason Maji Sahiba
has called the Sheikh for the distribution work of soup (ash) but due to
some other work the Sheikh could not come there to distribute 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 come back there. Due to
this reason of delay of that person and delay in the distribution of soup
(ash) to the poor persons she had 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 severely cold and there was such cold
that for which nobody could not bear it. Maji Sahiba has purchased 12
31
villages and has offered the same to the shrine of the Sheikh and which
are famous and well known by different names and the details are
mentioned as follows.
1.Small Habibpur.2.Big Habibpur.3.Hasinapur.4.Morabad.5.Alampur.
During Maji Sahibs 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 jewelry and also she has
constructed the mausoleum building of the Sheikh from her money.
She has organized the arrangements to celebrate the Urs (death
anniversary) which takes place on the 24 to 29 days 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 Sheikhs death. She has instructed
that she should be buried outside of the mausoleum of the Sheikh in the
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 left this world after 18 years of
Sheikhs death on 7th Rabbil Awwal in the year 1213 Hegira. There was
an 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 Sheikhs grave.
Every year on 7th Rabil Awwal the ceremony of the Sandal of Maji
Saheba was used to celebrate on the grand scale in which many thousand
devotees used to attend the ceremony and get Sadat (felicity) of it. The
Sandal Maali of Hazrat Syeda Habeeba Khatoon is celebrated on the
2nd or 3rd day of the Islamic month of Rabbi Al-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 is
32
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 with great religious fervour, 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 the Deccan (South India) but he was also the great holy
person of his time who did many great miracles so in brief he was
Qutub (highest cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time in the Deccan
region (South India).
So in brief he did also many great endeavours 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 Sheikhs 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 Sheikhs name and offer floral garlands.

This book is divided into four parts and in each part there are
some chapters. The details of the four parts are as follows.

not make their pledge to any Sufi order. For this reason they are
called the persons in connection of the Owaisia Sufi Order.
Hazrat Owaise Qarni who had a great love of the Allahs final
apostle, but he did not meet him and saw him. Allahs last
prophet used to love him greatly.
3) His mausoleum is situated in Bijapur near the tomb of
Sultan Ali Adil Shah in the area of Saqab Rouza and his father
Hazrat Abdullah Barooms grave is situated beside of the
mausoleum. His father wrote Qasida Baromia in Urdu
language and his present successor Syed Chiraguddin Saheb is
residing near the Jamia (principal) mosque of Bijapur in street
of Muslims and who is well known and famous personality for
his good conduct and manners.
Syed Alawi Barooms father came to India from Arabia
and was settled down in Bijapur and this city was greatly
benefitted by his light of presence and he was died in this city on
21 Zeqad. His grave is situated near the grave of Hazrat Jafer
Seqiullah. He belongs to Sadat (descendant of the holy prophet
through his daughter Hazrat Fatima) from the Hazrat Mauth area
of Southern Yemen. He was a disciple and a devotee of his
father Syed Shah Abdullah Baroom and his devotion (Iradat) is
connected with Syed Abdullah Hadad on one side and on the
other side he is also connected with Syed Abdullah Ba-Bakhi.
Hazrat Syed Alawi Baroom was famous for the following
things.
1. Higher status
2. Miracle and revelation
40
He has sent his four caliphs to India for the teaching and
preaching mission work of Islam and their details are mentioned
as follows.
Chapter
Hazrat Ashraf was great Sheikh and well known and famous
holy personality in Makkah and he was famous and well known
for his guidance to the persons who are away from the right path
of Allah. He will help the students of Haq (Allah) towards their
destination in this matter. He was a great leader of learned
persons and who used to guide and help them towards the right
path of Allah by his teaching and preaching methods.

That their hearts are not kept away them from the
remembrance of Allah in their business dealings of selling and
purchasing.
Always their hands are busy with 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 at me and told me that these servants were prepared
44
these fine food items with their much hard work and they are
standing while folding their hands so it is good that due to the
kindness they should be allowed permission first to have eaten
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 very 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.
2.
Hazrat Sheikh Ali Makki
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 very much
food and never satisfy in this matter and desire more and more.
So as per the Sheikhs instruction the disciples have arranged a
grand party and sent their invitation to him. They have arranged
a grand party in this matter with many items of food which were
brought on the dining cloth and there 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 Sufis stomach was not still
satisfied in this matter. The writers grandfather also invited him
as per the Sheikhs instruction and was arranged a grand 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 Sheikhs dinning cloth and
after that the Sufi never eat more than above portion of food in
his whole life and he was becoming the Sheikhs great lover
and devotee and for this reason he was becoming successful in
47
this matter and he was obtained more favor and attention than
other disciples and devotees.

Details of Syed Lashkar Khan
1). Asif Jah had four Divans (secretaries) and Lashkar Khan
was one among them and he went to Karnataka along with Nasir
Jung. But due to bad luck Nasir Jung had sent him to Deccan
(South) to control the revolt in Aurangabad. If Nasir Jung was
not sent him Aurangabad then he would not have been martyred
as Laskhar Khan always looked the French men with suspicion.
Asif Jah. (1). He was Divan (secretary) in the royal court, but
despite of 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, but as 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 time do 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 that the 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
beggars bowl and in this way the word unrelated will be
removed from the life.

It is said that due to very much holding of the breath the eye
sight of the Sheikh was damaged, apparently, and he was used
to take breath only four times in the night.

who also likes odd 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.

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

and blessing on his soul and also allow sharing of blessing to
us.)

Death
After living many years there and due to wish of his paternal
cousin Syed Mohammed Asim Khan Bahadur Mubariz Jung
and due to some other reasons he accepted the post of
superintendent in Devani (civil court) under the rule of
Mohammed Ali Khan Bahadur and he was shifted to Madras
which was away from Rahmatabad at a distance of five days
journey at that time. From there he used to send his letters to
Rahmatabad.
One day before one month of his death, he went to Mutailpet
to Madras in his good health condition along with my father and
there he was purchased one plot of grave from Qazi Abubaker in
Jamia (principal) mosque as he was the owner of the land which
is adjacent to the Jamia (principal) mosque. The grave plot was
situated near the steps of the Jamia (principal) mosque. Upon his

famous and in which his date of death is mentioned which is as
follows.

The miracle of Ziauddin
Sheikh Khudawand who was caretaker in Rehmatabad and
who used to say that Syed Ziauddin Imami at the beginning used
to be in the service of Khwaja Rahmatuallah till midnight and
when the Sheikh used to go inside of his house then he will go to
Chanlurpad village and when he sees the lock on the door so for
this reason he will put his hand on the lock so for this reason it
will be opened and like ripe fruit it will fall on the ground. In
this way he used to enter into his house. Upon watching this
miracle for some days I have reported this matter to Khwaja
Rahmatuallah Sahib and who was silent upon hearing the event.
After that time the miracle was not happening again in this
matter.

was going to Jamia (principal) mosque for Friday prayer and he
was seen that Maulavi Khairuddin was sitting on the ground in
crossed leg position near a dirty and filthy women who was
suffering from running sore problem and difficulty from shin.
So for this reason he put his knee on her leg and he was writing

Hazrat Mohammed Hafeezullah
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 a 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 with gum 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 due to the favor and kind attention of
Syed Rahmatullah Quadiri and he was obtained higher status
and from there he went away to Hyderabad.

Ahmed Shah 1748-1775 A.D. who was crowned in the year
1748 A.D. on Delhi throne and he was imprisoned by his
minister Ghaziuddin and who ordered to remove his two eyes. In
that letter he was mentioned his great devotion and love and
admiration with Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah Quadri and wrote
the following details in this matter.
That there is stormy in the desires and for this reason which
is in uncontrolled condition and there is disturbance in the sea
of peace.
Due to old age and its weakness made me helpless and
handicapped in this matter like the seashore.
Due to brotherly love and affection and due to its passion it
is must that like a storm you should visit the Fakir (Darvesh)s
destination and for which he will be highly obliged in this
matter. In this matter, there are many thirsty persons are there
who are in the desert of misguided life will be benefitted from
your sea of mercy and water of immortality. The persons who

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 of
Sheikh Abdullah Kohati went towards the river side and stood
on its bank like cypress tree and was given the signal with his
75
fourth finger to provide the way in the river. So for this reason
immediately the way was appearing there in the middle of the
river. So all disciples carried away the Sheikhs palanquin in
that way 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 becoming famous and well known by
the title of Bahadur.

Biography of Hazrat Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah (R.A.)
(Naib-E-Rasool) Rahamatabad Sharif
Departure to Kurnool
Wives.
Khwaja Sahib married two times, but from his two marriages
there are no children from them.
Upon the death of Khwaja Sahib, Bibi Sahiba who was his
second wife and made her nephew Hazrat Ghulam Naqshbandi,
as his successor and custodian of the shrine and she had dressed
him with the Sheikhs saintly dress (Qirqa).
The above extract was taken from the book Alkalam al-
Rafai which was written by Maulavi Rafiuddin. Please note that
the above extract was taken from the book of Maulavi Shah
Rafiuddin, and the author of this book mentioned in the
beginning of the books name as Al-Nifas al-Rafia and but here
he has mentioned the other books name as Al-Kalam Rafai.
So in the absence of the above books it is difficult to find out
the real thing in this matter.

Baquer Agahs letter in poetry
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 merciful cloud.
From one small, restless particle to the sun, from one small poor
ant who is present in the court of King Jamshid.
With the story of grief one sad person is present with the
pleasing personality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mohammed Baquer Agah
Nobody could not able to describe his praise and his level of his
greatness.
We are ready to finish for the sake of your love and due to such
condition and despite of sitting there is movement on this
matter.
Due to the relish of your existence in the meeting place you hide
in the closets of hearts.
Your custody is like that you know all which is hidden and
openly except Allah.
You are free from counting numbers so you listen, you should
not limit his qualities in the counting.
108
Due to the kindness of his heart there are benefits of the six
senses to all disciples.
You know well your status and position and you know well
your qualities.
I hope that after some time you will be kind enough in this
matter to look at my worse conditions.
I am in doubts and desires and but still hope for your favour
and kindness.
I do not have a condition and name like you and not act upon
any condition and does posses any position.

Forgives and makes reconciliation,
His reward is due
From God.

6.
Khwaja 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 Sunnah
Rasool (the practice of Allahs final apostle). Even he was used
to follow 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 Khwaja 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.

that due to his fate he had come in his presence like the leaf of
the winter season. So Khwaja Sahib instead of taking his pledge
(Bayyah) 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 persons help in this
matter.

Nawab Basalat Jungs offer for the construction of mosque
Mulk Bahadur Fatah Jung and was also awarded him 7000
grades of Mansab (post) and sent him for administration
purpose of Deccan province and he was becoming king of
Deccan during the period of Mohammed Shah and he was
founded Kingdom of Asif Jahi or the Kingdom of the Nizam
of Hyderabad.
Khwaja Sahib did not accept his offer and he told in this
matter that Fakir (Darvesh) did not want the construction of
these buildings by the hands of the wealthy persons. Because I
strongly hope with Allah the Merciful 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 of Allah.
Nawab Sahibs edge of the garment was lengthy like the
lengthy wishes and desires of wealthy and rich persons which
are not permissible as per the Islamic law. Upon Khwaja
Sahibs look at him so there was a wrinkle in his forehead and
Khwaja Sahib like a master tailor cut his edge of the garment of
wishes and desires and filled his ear with 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 him. But like the stitch which is attached to edge of the
garment so in the same way you should not leave the way of
your pious persons.

Hazrat Maqdoum Sawis opinion about Khwaja Sahib
trust for the drinking purpose and he will use to carry water
from Rahmatabad. Whatever income received from this village,
he will use to send all money to Madina for the charity work
there. As per reference from Maulvi Shah Rafiuddin that
Khwaja Sahib used to say that if any needed person will pray
there with fear of God and humility as well as with sincerity
and lowliness in the bungalow in Ahmedpur village while
spreading his hands, then his wishes and desires will be fulfilled
there and for this reason Ahmedpur village which is famous
even today for the fulfillment of desires and wishes of the
persons who visit that building there. He also used to say that if
time of some bodys bud of the hearts opening will come to
his favour and attention, then in such condition Khwaja Sahib
used to take him to the building of Ahmedpur trust and like
spring season he will use to award him a saintly dress of
caliphate to that person. As a matter of fact my soul was scented
there by his sayings and also due to his kind affection he was
awarded me saintly dress of the caliphate.

Khwaja Sahib used to say that Satan is like a thief and his

that condition he will use 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

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 the disciples. Because if there will be favour of Allah on
anybody then that person does not need any help for his flight,
135
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

His style of description of the holy persons
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 Thanis
one disciple who was known as Badiuddin who was posted on
his behalf in the Mughal capital of Lahore for the teaching
preaching work and in him there was very 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
ones eleventh letter in which Sheikh Mujadid Alif Thani has
mentioned about his spiritual progress. The details are
138
available as follows.
Upon watching that place and 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 Khwaja
Naqshaband everywhere along with me. There is no upper place
after this place except the place of the Allahs 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 seen and 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 his spiritual 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)
139
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
143
1. Favour Benignity
2. Knowledge
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 Khwaja Khurd (1) because in the Sufi order of
Mujadidia nobody was not able to reach its final destination.
The details of Khwaja 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
145
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 sent to different
places as per instruction of their spiritual master for the advising
146
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 Hegira (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 Fakheruddin 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 Fakheruddin Aurgangabadi. Afterwards he
becomes a courtier of Nawab Asif Jahs minister Rukun Doulah.
He has used first 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. He wrote many magazines in poetry
and in magazine Kajal Jawaher Fe Manaqib 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 the
Sultan 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.
150

The Style of equality of Khwaja Sahib
When he will use to attend feasts and when there will be very
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 any
discrimination there. On his dining cloth all persons will be
benefitted equally due to kind attention and care.

The Contentment of Khwaja Sahib

47.
Khwaja Sahib did not like the company of the rich persons
During his stay in Kadpa late Nawab Abdul Majid Khan and
Abdul Hamid Khan always used to come to kiss his foot for the
sake of felicity and as they had complete faith in Khwaja Sahib.
But Khwaja Sahib has forbidden them to come to visit him and
he ignored them and he used to abominate with their meeting.
48.
Khwaja Sahib did not accept the offer of Saikal village
Amiral Hind (1) Wala Jah has sent one letter to Khwaja
Sahib through his caliph Mohamed Sibgatullah 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.
49.
Nawab Abdul Saeed Khans request to become his disciple
157
Nawab Abdul Saeed Khan of Ganji Kota has sent his letter
to Khwaja Sahib with much inclination that Since long time
there is desire in his heart to see him and wanted to become his
disciple due to his very much devotion in this matter. Khwaja
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 (Bayah) to him in this matter.

He was ill for the period of 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
Hegira (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.

The person of good qualities Mirza Shujat Baig who was his

and he was constructed the beautiful mausoleum building of
Khwaja Sahib over his grave as per Bi Bi Sahibas instruction
and which has become a great center of the visitors and where
there is always lights of Allah are available and dismounting of
the grace of Allah. In this matter the translation and
interpretation of one couplet from Persian language is as
follows.
1). Khwaja Rahmatullah was died in the year 1195 Hegira. But
by adding the numbers of the date of death, the death year
will be available at 1194 Hegira. But due to the rules of history
to ignore or add one number is allowed in this matter. Like the
author of this book who was calculated the year of its
publication of the book Bahar Rahmat as 1240 Hegira. But his
disciple Maulavi Murtuza Ali Khan Bahadur in Persian and
Arabic derived its year of publication of this book as 1241
Hegira.

went to Sindalia and he was becoming a student of Indias great
learned person Moulana Hyder Ali Sindalavi and learned many
knowledges by him. He was there in Bilgram for a period of
seven years and he was becoming a student of Malavi
Mohammed Ibrahim Malabari there. He was becoming the
disciple of Syed Shah Nasiruddin Sadi Bilgrami and pledge to
him and obtained saintly dress from him.
That for the sake of your kind authority my many desires are
settling down, but there is no blessing at all in this matter. Hope
that you will kindly reply in this matter for which I shall be
obliged to you in this matter.
And he said further in this matter that he will try and pray in
his favour, but there will be no result at all in this matter. As

One day he was given his formula of alchemy which was proved
as successful number times on the touchstone to Khwaja Sahib
with sincerity and humility. Khwaja Sahib took the formula
from him and has asked him three times whether he has given
him with sincerity and humility? And he replied Yes with
sincerity with humility in this matter. After some days Khwaja
Ahmed for the fulfillment of some desires wants to make gold
with his used formula, but despite of his try of 1000 times he
was not become successful in this matter.

Khwaja Sahib was angry for the delay in food preparation

Hazrat Syed Murtuza
He was great pious personally of his time and he was the first
caliph of Khwaja Sahib and he was a resident of Adoni. As a
matter of fact, he was obtained caliphate of Khwaja Sahib after
Hazrat Maulavi Shah Mohammed Rafiuddin. He was famous
and well known for the following things.
2.Noble.
3.Qutub (highest cadre in the spiritual pivot on axis)
4.Sadat (descendant of the holy prophet through his daughter
Hazrat Fatima).
Due to the hard work of meditation his head was coming in the
hanging condition on the right side of his shoulder. Khwaja
Sahib used to pay his very much attention and care towards
him. When Khwaja Sahib used to hear his news of arrival to
Rahamatabad then used to post men everywhere from a distance
of one Farsanq (One Farsang = 6.24 KM) from there to enable
him to know the details of good news about his movement step
by step and at that time he was used to wear a white dress and
put antimony in his eyes and will used to stay there in the
courtyard for his welcome with great happiness and pleasure.
When Syed Murtuza will get the opportunity to visit Khwaja
Sahib then he used to fell down on his foot like ripe fruit. At
that time Khwaja Sahib urgently used to lift him from the
ground and embrace with his passion and enthusiasm and used
to start talking to him with love and affection. Up to his stay in
Rehmatabad and Khwaja Sahib used to take him after Eisha
(night) prayer for meditation, which will continue up to
midnight time and at that time there will be no permission
allowed to other persons to visit Khwaja Sahib. At the time of
his death Khwaja Sahib has given him three betel-leaves and
two betel-nuts. He left this world after five years of death of
Khwaja Sahib on 20th Jamidul Thani in the year 1200 Hegira
(1786 A.D.) in Adoni. My teacher Moulavi Mohammed Baquer
Agah wrote one best poetry about him and in its last line his

on his head.
Shah Abdullah Naqsbandi who was among his caliphs upon
knowing the serious condition of Syed Sarwar was visited
Khwaja Sahib and he cried out for his assistance and began
weeping there. So Khwaja 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 Khwaja Sahib become silent while putting his head down
for some time and after some time he lift his head and hit his

Upon completion of the days of pregnancy after Fajar (morning)
prayer when she was busy in reading the holy Quran then this

As per instruction of Hazrat Haji Sayah my name given as

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 and indication of
the soul of Haji Mohammed Sayahs for the training of Batani
(innermost) he was there at his shrine in this matter. Upon
hearing my request Khwaja Sahib began weeping and he said
God bless you. Now a days 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 Khwaja Sahib taught me method of Dogana (two

There was some good news, which the Fakir (Darvesh) got in
the dream 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 Kaaba in Makkah.
203
The Kaaba.
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 Allahs final apostle so congratulation in
this matter.

Shah Raifuddin thinks consolation of the persons as great
worship
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Sahibs stay in Hyderabad due to the large number of his
disciples.
The misled people say that Allah is having his children and
they also say that Allahs 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.?
22.
Method of attention of the disciples
23.
The compiler of this books personal event
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)

Full name
Tamim ibn Zayd Al Ansari
Biography
Name
His name is Tamim Ansari and his fathers name is Ahmed
Ansari and his mothers name is Rabia and in this magazine
have mentioned many of his details of millions of characters
and conducts as well as his endeavours and miracles are
available in it. He was a famous companion of the last prophet
of Allah. He was a resident of Madina city in the country of the
Saudi Arabia.
The reporters of right sayings and informers of the
newspaper of the truth have been informed in this matter that
once Hazrat Umar bin Qattab was sitting in the grand of the
mosque of the prophet in Madina after the morning prayer of
Fajr along with his friends and companions and suddenly at that
time one woman in veil was arriving there and she was asked
about the Hazrat Umar bin Qattab and the people have pointed
towards him. That woman told him that Oh the ruler of the
Muslims my husband is absconding since three and a half years
and his where about are not known and till now it is not known
the news about his life and death. So I am facing great problems
to bring up the children in this matter, so I request you to kindly
allow me to re-marry with some other person. The caliph of
the last prophet, Allah has asked her Who was his husband ?,
and how he was vanished away from Madina.? That woman
told that My husbands name is Tamin Ansari and he was
223
vanished away from the house since three and half years
suddenly and she has been searching him since for three and
half years and but still she could not able to get his news and
where about in this matter. The caliph of the prophet told her
that, She has not given permission in this matter till the four
years will not be over and during this period your husband may
come back or there will be any news on this matter from any
side. The woman began crying and wept very much and she
has requested, Oh caliph of the Muslims how she will maintain
and bring up the children of Tamim Ansari and she is poor and
helpless and she did not have any Dirham with her so how she
will pass the period of the four years.? The caliph of the
Muslims told her that, You do not worry for the expenses of
the bringing up of the children as she will be given money from
the Baital Mall (public treasury) as per the requirement in this
matter. So go and take care of the children and in reality Allah
will solve all problems of the men. In short, that woman was
returned back to her home in happy condition and she has spent
a period of four years in waiting of the husband in her house.
After the end of the four years she goes to see the caliph of the
prophet again and she said Oh caliph of the Muslims now four
years have been completed and now give her permission to re-
marry and he told her that she should complete further more four
months and come back and see him. At last this period was also
have been ended and during this period also his husband s
where about and news were not found by her. So she went into
the presence of the caliph of the Muslims and she said Oh
caliph of the last prophet that now she could not have patience in
this matter. And at that time some persons were present there.
The caliph told in the loud voice Is anybody is there who can
marry this woman.? So one person among them was standing
224
and he said he can marry with her woman. At that time the
caliph of the prophet married that woman with the man there.
Then that woman and husband along with children were began
living in the happy condition.
One day that man was performing Asar evening prayer and at
that time there was loud and cry was begun in the house. He
completed his prayer and was asked her wife about this matter
that whether there is good news and with whom she is fighting
in the house and who was entered into the house. The woman
has told that see there is standing one person in the naked
condition there and the young man stood and went near the
naked person and was asked him in the angry condition who are
you?, and why did he enter into his house without any
permission.? It seems that your ill luck has brought you here.?
So you should leave my house urgently otherwise there will be
bad consequences in this matter. Upon hearing this that naked
person entangle with the young man and fighting was started in
between both of them there in the house. The pious woman was
began loud and crying and she said Oh neighbors come on
soon someone is killing my husband. It may be the same Devil
who was taken away my first husband. Now he came there gain,
and while becoming the enemy of my second husband.
The`neighbouring persons upon hearing loud and cry and they
run towards their house and entered into the house and with
much difficulty and problem they have separated fighting of the
two persons in the house. The neighboring persons was taken
away Tamim Ansari and have asked him to tell truly who are
you.? And which place he belongs.? And what is your name.?,.
And that naked person told them that He is Tamim Ansari and
he is the husband of this woman and all children are belong to
him. He was involved in many problems and due to the grace
225
That one day I have done intercourse with my wife and after
its completion and I asked with my wife to bring soon water so
that he will have bathing as the prophet of Allah has said that
one who have done intercourse then he should have bathed soon
and become clean as this is a time of overwhelming of the
Satan. Usually an un-bathed person in this matter will involve
intricacy and problem and for this reason he will face difficulty
in this respect. My wife for the sake of the joke told at that time
Oh Devil takes him away from there and upon saying this she
went to bring water. He was sleeping in the upper storey and
suddenly one Devil came there and took me towards the sky
and I have reached at the highest level and from where the earth
seen like a clod. Due to divine power of Allah one piece of the
cloud was touched with the neck of the Devil and due to this
reason there was pressing on the neck of the Devil and for this
matter Devil began getting down while closing his eyes and he
was dipped in the big sea and at that time my condition was
such that due to fear I was stopped taking breath and I was
becoming helpless there and there was no hope for me that I will
be free from the claw of the Devil. He began taking me some
time in the light and sometime in the darkness and suddenly the
Devil freed me from his hold so I was becoming
unconsciousness and falling down to the earth. When I was
came back in consciouness and opened my eyes and I was
found myslef in the huge garden where there were many
thousand trees of fruits were there and there were available
water springs everywhere and there was a cold breeze was
moving in the garden and there was mild fragrance was found
every where and due to this reason there came life again in my
dead body and it was like that there was no more tiredness in me
and there was happiness and joy in my heart and there was
229
One day when the teaching of the Quran of the boys was over
and queen fairy was coming there and on that night I have seen a
dream and for this reason I was very upset and worried and due
to dream I began weeping there. Suddenly my weeping voice
reached to the palace of the queen fairy and at that time she has
called her caretakers and heralds and asked them to check
Why, the man who belong to human beings is weeping and so
check on this matter why he is weeping and find out reason in
this matter whether somebody was given him trouble to him so
he is weeping in this matter. So inquire all matter in this matter
and bring that man before me. Upon inquiring all details from
me they have taken me towards the palace of the queen, fairy,
they have informed the queen fairy that Nobody among them
did not hurt him and given any trouble. The man is weeping by
remembering his children and family members in his country.
Tonight he was seen in his dream his children and his
householders who were standing and visiting the mausoleum of
the holy last prophet of Allah in Madina city. Upon seeing them
the love of the father was increased and there was uncontrollable
an condition in this matter and he wants to embrace all of them,
but at that time his dream was over and he could not find them.
So for this reason due to the very much grief and sadness he
was begun weeping and crying in this matter. Upon hearing
this queen fairy was become very kind to him and she told him
to inform her What is his desire in this situation. I told her that
I do not any desire and wish expect to see my children and my
family members in Madina city and also he wants to visit the
holy mausoleum of the prophet in Madina and so for this reason
he is eager in this matter. As the queen fairy promised me to
send back to Madina city upon completion of the teaching of the
Holy Quran to her children. Now their Quran reading work was
234
and fulfil our orders faithfully and there will no room of any
complaint in this matter. Then in that case you will be freed
from the prison, otherwise take warning that you will be killed
here immediately. The Black Devil while folding his hand by
lowering his head he said that in fact he has made his mistake
so I request you to kindly forgive my mistake in this matter.I
will promise that always I will obey your orders and never
disobey your instructions.Upon hearing this talking queen fairy
told him that I bestow kindness upon your worst condition.
Well, I will free you on one condition that you have brought this
man from Madina and you have separated him from his family
members.Now you should only take him back to Madina and
upon sending him back to Madina bring me his acknowledge of
his reaching to his country. The Devil to release from the prison
very soon he was agreed to take me back from there to Madina
city in happy condition and mode. The queen fairy was released
the Devil from the prison and she asked me to ride on his neck
and she has taken from his promise to take me to Madina within
a week.Oh the ruler of the Muslims at the time of departure from
there the queen fairy was taught me one supplication which is as
follows.
And she told me that There is no guarantee of the promises
of the Devils. They involve in the acts of breaking of the
promises and Satanic acts. I will teach a supplication in this
matter to help you against their misdeeds and atrocities so
remember it well. If Allah wills due to blessing of this prayer
there will be no calamities and dangers and you will be safe
and secure in this matter.
That cursed one due to his bad habit he began flying higher in
height in the sky and the angles throw fireball at him and so he
was burnt down and becoming ashes and due to the blessing of
237
the prayer, I was falling down to the earth safely and securely
and I was in the condition of unconsciousness for a long period
of time. When I was becoming in the normal condition then I
was found that due to the kind grace of Allah, I was in the
condition of safe and secured. Oh, leader of the Muslims I
thought that I will be broken into pieces due to my great fall
from the sky to the earth and there will be no particle of the my
body will not be found there on the earth. But Allah kept me
safe and secure.In short, I was finding myself in the desolate
jungle and where there was not found any bird and animals.In all
four sides I have tried my best but could not find the way to
leave from that jungle area. Also, there was not found any
human beings and any persons. Also, there was not found any
grain for eating and to wear clothes there and as well there was
no water available there. In the jungle there was prevailing
rustling of the winds so I was afraid in this matter due to fear
and danger into the huge jungle area. So for this reason I was
began weeping and crying there. I was weeping very much and
made loud and cry there in the wilderness of the jungle. So told
myself that oh Allah what I should do now there?, and where
should I go?, and in such grief and suffering I was seeing an
animal and his legs were like pearls and his beak were like
shining ruby and who was approached towards me and began
talking with me. And he said Oh Tamim you, do not worry in
this condition of grief and problem and do not lose hope and
trust on Allah. I told him that I was weeping and crying due
to loneliness and helplessness. Due to surprise, I was seeing
that animal and questioned him. Oh cock who are you.? And
who was spoken like a human being or whether you belong to
group of the Jins.?, He told me that He did not belong to the
category of the Jin or human begins, but he is an animal and he
238
has been deputed for this work from the prophet Ishaq (A.S.)
and my work is showing the way to the travelers and persons
who lost their way and for hungry passengers I will provide
water and food supply. You are a traveler. Who was lost the way
of the journey and you are hungry and thirsty. Now you stood
here and I was there in that jungle for a period of 40 days and
nights. I have eaten many kinds of food of grace there. After
forty days I told him that he wants to go from there and so he
should guide me and show the way for my journey. That animal
showed me the way and I was started towards the direction of
Qibla (direction in which the Muslim turn in prayer). By
walking on the way I was reached in the jungle. I was watching
two shapeless creatures who are proceeding towards me.When
both of them have reached to me, I found both are in the round
shape, and they do not have eyes, ears and head as well as foot
and stomach and coming towards me by rolling down so for
this reason I was surprised so they told me that Oh Tamim
Anrsari be comfortable you will reach surely to your house. I
asked them Who are you.? Do you belong category of Jins.?
They have told me that They belong to the category of the
devils. Allah created us so that on the day of judgement they
will separate the infidels from there the Muslims and take them
to the hell I told them, Oh the persons of the devils he was
wandering here and there due to worry and problem in the desert
of the death. And I do not know where I am going and where is
my destination.? So help me and guide me towards my final
destination. They told me that I should not leave the direction
Qibla (direction in which Muslims turn in prayer) and go
directly towards its direction. I said goodbye to them and went
towards the direction Qibla. There was passed a period the six
months in my walking journey and at the time of the hunger I
239
obey all his instructions in this matter. That young man has
taken my hand in his hand and he shakes it and he told me to
stay here and he was vanished from there. After an elapse of
some time he has brought a tray with full of many kinds of
dishes and sweets and he put the tray before me and I was
eating full of my stomach. When I have eaten many kinds rich
food items, then he was asked me whether still you obey your
promise? I said Yes. He said well and he was vanished from
there. The next day he was also brought such kinds of many
high quality food items and sweets in the tray for me. When I
was eating many kinds of the rich food items, then he asked me
whether I was firm on my promised and I told him, Yes.
Upon hearing this he was given me one pellet in my hand and he
told that keep it safely. He said He will put himself in the fire
and he will burn in it. Then you put this pellet on the ashes, then
I will become alive again and I will take you back to his home in
your country and I will give you the seven climes kingdom to
you. I have lots of thanks to him in this matter. In his hand there
was rope also which he was given to me. Then he told me Oh
my friend hold my two feet. Oh Ali, I have caught his two feet
and he was taken, me and began flying in the air. In short time
we both were reached on a mountain and its length and breath is
very difficult and not able to describe its details.That person was
a magician and who sat me on the mountain and he was
vanished away from there. He came there after some time and
he asked me that Whether I was firm on my promise. I asked
him which is this mountain.? He said this is the mountain of Qaf
(Caucasus). Upon hearing I was becoming unconscious of
thinking how I will reach back to the country.? When I was
becoming well then I asked him that, You have promised that
you will take me back to my home town and what you did that
241
handwriting and he went near the caves door and changed his
shape. He asked for me to be firm on the promise. I told him that
I was firm on my promise. But I do not know who are you and
to which places he is taking. I do not know what you will do for
him,? But he did not reply in this matter. He went forward and
strike the rope on the lock of the door and by touching of the
rope so for this reason it was opened at once. He took me inside.
I have seen in the cave there many rooms are available it. In
every room there is one devil is available there. When they saw
us they began angrily and they began to try to kill both of us.
The rope with which lock of the cave opened was shown to them
so for this reason they put down their weapons and stood by
lowering their necks and followed his obedience and submission
to him. By leaving them as I have proceeded further and have
reached a great building was there which in lavish style and its
description is beyond my ability. In that building there was one
242
throne, which was laying there and on it there was sleeping one
pious young man in the finest dress and he is putting one hand
on his chest and other hand on his stomach. In his hand there
was one ring in which there were four gems which were
shining brightly. On the four sides of the throne there is one
python, which was sitting there. I was surprised and asked by
him, Who is sleeping on the throne and all wild animals and
birds, python was guarding and taking care of him there.? He
said Oh Tamim Ansari, he is prophet Suleiman (A.S.) under
his control and authority were all wild animals and birds,
python during his life period and they all also will be remain
under his control and authority after his death. The rope which
I was given to you and which belongs to the magic and with its
power of magic it have kept all things under my control and
authority and I have reached up to here. If I will get the ring,
then all things will come under his control and authority. That
person was thinking like that then at that time one angle came
down from the sky and hit him by his hand on that persons
neck and for this hit his neck was cut and he was falling down
on the ground and blood discharge was started there. Upon
seeing this I stood away from there so that the angel may not
kill me. When I have seen him then find in his look the love and
affection, and there is no look of and anger and rage, so for this
reason with the feelings of the fear and worry. I have reached
near him and I have asked him Oh Darwesh for the god sake
tell me and explain me the details of this person to whom you
have killed.? That person did not take me with him into my
house in Madina and also did not explain me his details and his
condition. It is also not known why he brought me this place.
What is this miracle.? He told me that This person who was
more powerful than the devils and fairies. During his life period
243
person in such shape and such and such name who will arrive
there and he will among the companions of the last prophet
Mohammed (peace be upon him) and from him there will be
guidance to me and I will accept the faith of Islam. Now recite
me Islamic read La Ilha-Ilah Mohammed Rasool Allah. She
was reciting the Islamic creed and was become Muslim there. I
told her Oh woman it seems that you belongs to a category of
the human beings. She told me Yes, no doubt. Upon hearing
I was becoming happy very much in this matter as after a period
of long time I have seen a human being there. Then I asked her
How did she came there.? She said that Her father was king
of such and such kingdom and her mother was queen of that
country. She was most beautiful and graceful woman that like
her there was no personality of such beautiful woman was not
found in the whole world. When she was in the stomach of her
mother then that devil who took you towards the throne of the
prophet Sulaiman (A.S.) and who was killed there and who was
becoming a lover of my mother and by deceive and fraud, he
was taken, my mother from the palace and he brought here and
my mother told him that be careful that I am pregnant so do not
touch me. Till she will not deliver baby he should not come
near to her. So for this reason that devil was away from any act
of mischief. To see the kind help of Allah, with which He helps
his pious personalities from the grip and prison of the cruel
things. When the time of delivering of the baby came I was
delivered then at that time my mother queen was praying to
Allah that, She is one of his slave women and who in nothing
now and You are the protector and owner of the respect and
honour. Now this devil wants to intercourse with me and expect
You there is nobody is there who can protect and secure my
respect and honour. I seek your help and custody as well
245
dams were becoming slower. At that time one angle came from
the sky with a heavy, thick bough and hit him on head and he
said to him, Oh cursed person still that time did not come for
which you are awaiting there. How you become free from the
chains? and that person did not say anything to the angel of the
sky and he was standing there silently. That angel put the
heavy chain to that person again and fixed by him with the tree.
When I have seen such dealing so I become surprised for this
reason said to myself Oh Allah what is the matter in this
respect.? Then that angel told me, Oh Tamim Ansari what
happened to you that you have talked with this cursed person. I
told him, Oh pious person may Allah bestow grace upon you
and so inform me who are you.?, and who is this person who
was imprisoned in the chains.? He told me that He was an
angel from the sky sent by Allah. This cursed person is antichrist
and who will come into the world at the time, day of judgment
and he will deceive all the mankind and misled all of them. The
prophet Mohammed (peace be upon) was described all his
details in his holy sayings and he was mentioned the some signs
before his coming into the world. The cursed one is asking with
you details in connection of the those signs.Oh Tamim Ansari
this is that the antichrist and I if would not come there, then he
would kill you immediately here in this jungle place and he will
not leave you alive. When I come to know this condition and
then return to my problem of wandering in the jungle and told
him that from such and such time he is wandering in the jungles
in surprised and worry condition and he is covering long
distance of travelling in the jungle by foot and in the mountain
area. For god sake, you guide me and show me the way so that I
can reach back to my home. That angle was ready to help and he
was accompanied by me and was showing me the way and he
250
told me To go on the way of the Qibla and do not see here and
there. If you leave this direction then you will lose your way.
Upon saying this the angle was vanished from there. As per the
guidance of the angle I was following the way as per shown by
the angel. In the day time I used to travel and eat grass and drink
water there and in the night time I used to sleep by eating grass
and water in the jungle areas. In this way long period of time
was passed away. One day by walking on feet what I was seen
that there is a big fort is there and its parapet are touching with
sky. I said in my heart that whatever there will be problems and
difficulties came there in the way, but he should visit the whole
area of the fort and should come to know the details of secret of
the big fort there. By thinking this I was entered in the fort by
walking very fast. What I see there is one table of sandal is
available there on which l saw emerald and costly pearls and
jewels are fixed on it. On one side there is a spread dining cloth
and on it there was available many kinds of rich food items and
water jugs with full of the water were also there. Oh the ruler of
the Muslims as I was very hunger so I have eaten plenty of the
food items and drank cold and cleaned water there. When I have
eaten then I was looking towards the rooms in the fort, which
are full of wealth, of gold and silver and jewelry and with its
there was very much shining was there. When I entered in the
room, then I found many people were killed there and were
lying and there were also many swords were there. When I
looked this bloodshed and killing them, I was surprised on this
killing and bloodshed. In the heart I said oh Allah what is the
reason of it, where ever I will go and in such places I used to
found surprised and wonderful things. It is matter of thanks of
Allah that he is safe and secure from any problem and
difficulty. And me Allah is taking in His custody. When I was
251
thinking this then I have seen four horse riders there who were
holding their swords in their hands and they were standing at the
doors. I was surprised to see them.In my heart told now it is
difficult to go away safely from there. They may kill him there.
But I said in my heart that one day I should will be dying and if
there will be death in such place then nobody will save him
there. So with courage I proceed towards those horse riders and
said to them Assalam Alaikum. They replied my Salam and
with kindness and favour they told me, Oh Taimim Ansari you
have suffered many hardships and problems in the journey. So
you should not lose your heart. If Allah wills, then you will
reach back to your home town successfully. Upon hearing this I
was very much happy and there were no limits of my joy in this
matter. I told him, There may be mercy of Allah on all of you
and please inform me who are you and how you have
recognized me without knowing me and who are persons killed
here and who killed them and for god sake tell me such
information and all details.? They told me that They are
angels of Allah and by the order of Allah, they are posted there
as security guards of the treasure in this place. These are persons
who belong to the companions of the last prophet and who are
killed on the way of Allah. This blood flows from such time and
it will be flowing till the day of the judgement. The food which
you have eaten and which will be available into the trays and
which will not decrease or increase there and whoever sent by
Allah will eat this food items here. Then I told them, Up to
what time and for how many years he will be wandering in the
jungle and mountains.? Whether he will be going back to his
country of origin. So for this reason he is facing many
problems and difficulties in this matter. For god sake, show me
the way of Madina. So they were kind to me in my worse
252
matter and I asked her, Oh woman who are you? And why she
is sitting there.? And she is not talking and not giving reply to
my Salam to her. At that time from the corner of the garden
there was heard a horrible voice in which it was heard Oh
Tamim Ansari what you are doing.? Go immediately from this
place.? Whether you do not fear of Us.? Upon hearing this
voice I was afraid in this matter and somehow I left from there
and went to see the previous pious person. That person told me
Have you seen the divine power of Allah there.? I said Yes.
After some time I have asked by that old person that Who was
that person who have sent to me to see you here. And the
woman who was seen by me in the garden and who was in her
pretty and fine dress and who was she.? And whose horrible
sound was that.?. He said that He is prophet Ilyas (A.S.) and
I am prophet Khizer (A.S.) and that woman is the world and the
horrible sound belongs to Yajuj and Majuj (Arabic:
Yajj wa-Majj), and it was good that you have come here. So
you have rest of some days here and stay with me as you have
suffered many hardships during long period of journey by the
feet so for this reason you are tired in this matter. I told him,
Oh Khaja god bless you and there will be mercy of Allah upon
you. It was my luck that which brought me in your kind
presence and under employment. Now on you there is
dependence on my life. By sake of kindness and favour tell me
how far my country is away from here and when I will go back
to my home from here?. He told me Your home is away from
here for a journey period of 200 years. I told him Oh Khaja it
is sad that he is age will not be sufficient for covering the return
journey to my home town and so keeping of the hope of return
journey now seems to me useless and with fruitless.Khaja Sahib
told me Oh Tamim do not disappoint in this matter and have
255
trust on Allah and Allah have divine power so he can take you
back to your home town within a second. At that time one
piece of cloud came there and thundering was started. Khaja
Sahib asked him to come near. He came near to him and said
Salam to him. Khaja Sahib asked the cloud, Where you are
going.? The cloud told him that Such and place he will go and
fall down there and will cause rain as per the order given to
him. Is any work is there which is required by him to be
attended by me there.? Khaja Sahib told him To go to such
and place as per the order. Upon seeing this I was satisfied very
much in this matter. I stayed with Khaja Sahib. After three days
other cloud was appeared in the sky and it also said Salam to
him and he said Salam to him and asked him Where you
going.?. The cloud told him that He is going Madina city as
per the order given to him. Has any work been?. Khaja Sahib
