The verse Fateha (The opening)
It is difficult Your praise and it is hidden Your virtues in all
You are visible there in all and You are there in everything
For every particle, you are created from the beginning to end
You are Sustainer of all not in this world, but in another world
You are Lord of the worlds and you are forgiver of the worlds
You are kind to all and Your kind favor is there for all persons
Those who are pious then You are merciful to such persons
Your special favour is there for them and You are kind to all
You are the owner everyone settle deeds on judgment day
In your hands is a penalty and a prize and you are the owner
All our worship is for Your sake, oh Lord of the two worlds
All slaves belong to you from the origin, if he is big or small
For all our needs you are essential and Your personality is kind
You give all one who calls you as You are a kind helper to all
Guide us such right path now, on which path who went away
With Your graces and all passed away on such a path indeed
But there will be no such way never, which is ignored by You
So who lost and misguided on such way due to your anger
This is the prayer of your slave and its is request of your lowest
Accept the prayer of Sahwi as you are an owner of two worlds

Preface
In this book translation of episodes from the Urdu book are
added from the books of ‘Malfufzat- Mazheri’ written by
Jawid Iqbal Mazheri and in which there are available some great
achievements of the Sufi saints of India from Delhi region,
which are not yet known to the public and which are available in
a very interesting style in this book so for this reason the readers
will find great interest and attention in this matter. And this
Urdu book is translated by me into English edition.
Due to the above facts and details, if the readers will starts
reading its first page of the book and will not stop reading till
they will reach this book’s last page as some interesting events
and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy
saint are added in this book and this holy saint was passed
away from the world many years ago.
Even though this is a small book but due to its importance it is
so great due to the coverage of many interesting events and
positive information so it is like an ocean of knowledge and
information of holy saints who were 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
9
lands so this book is a small one but it will present the ocean
of knowledge for the guidance of people towards the right path
of Islam.
In the beginning of this book the translator’s brief biography
is added for the reader’s information and reference.
To write about these great pious personalities of the Delhi
area is not only it is difficult, but it is very hard task as they
did many great endeavors by writing Islamic books as well as
for the preaching and propagation work of Islam in Delhi and
around Delhi region and there were no such personalities
during their time.
To write about this great Sufi saint and great author is not
only it is difficult and but it is very hard task as Shah Sahib was
not only a great pious personality of his time in the area of the
Delhi in India) but he was also a great author of so many great
books so in brief he was a great person of the knowledge of his
time in the Delhi region. For a long time he was engaged in
religious discourses, sermons, and spiritual training of the
people and he did also many great endeavours for the preaching
and propagation work of Islam in Delhi and around this region
and there was no such personality during his time.
The readers will find interest in reading this book due to the
positive information and great details of this Sufi saint who had
been in India in the olden days when there was endeavours by
him for the light of Islamic religion at that time in Delhi and
around Delhi region.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book
‘Muslim saints and Mystics’ in English version (Tadhkirtal
Auliya 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
10
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 Allah’s last
prophet.
To write about this great saint and the great spiritual master is
not only it is difficult and but it is a very hard task. In
the Biography of Hazrat Mazher in which there were not only
added the biography of the great pious personality of his time in
the area of Delhi and as well as in Delhi region who was also a
great and famous spiritual master so, in brief, he was the great
holy person of Allah of his time in the Delhi region.
For a long time Shah Mazher was engaged in religious
discourses, sermons, and spiritual training of the people and he
did also many great endeavours for the preaching and
propagation work of Islam in India and around this region and
also there was no such personality during his time in the world.
As this book of the biography of the holy saint and it is very
short in length so for this reason, the translator’s biography and
other small papers of research are also added as per the
requirement of the length of pages of the book.

My three poems
Please find my three poems which are as follows and these are
well known and famous since my college days and which were
already published in the Anwar Uloom Hyderabad College
Magazine of Hyderabad and now I have added these poems in
this book.
Her death day came with the fragrance of the memories
Which shaken the depth of our the saddest memories
Even the seasonal changes and otherworldly affairs
Could not diminish away her saddest loving memories
Due to the saddest grief, our souls are broken
We are worldly losers and our hearts are broken
Oh: her saddest old memories you must not die
Guide us to cover the deliverances of the world
Oh: the heavenly Lord takes Thou care of this soul
Who never faced any worldly peace and pleasure.

======================================
The author wept very much at the Kazipet graveyard
The author upon his return from his service of the foreign
country visited Kazipet after a gap of many years the grave of
his grandfather and grandmother at Kazipet recently in the
month of May 2014.
When he visited the grave of his grandfather, which is under
a big Neem tree and its shed is spread over large areas of the
graveyard and my grandmother’s grave is situated beside the
grave of my grandfather. Both graves are well maintained so
they are available in good condition.
As both graves are under the big old Neem tree so there is
too much shade, as well as so much cold and peaceful
atmosphere and comfort, is available there. So an atmosphere of
peace and comfort is available there too much due to the
coolness of the branches of Neem tree which is prevailing in the
graveyard. For this reason, an atmosphere of coolness and peace
condition is there and due to this reason, there will be thinking
arise in the mind of the author that both of them living in a
peaceful condition.
However, the author wept too much there because his
grandfather who was administrator of the shrine of Kazipet for
many years and his grandmother who lived in Kazipet village
for many years and she did many endeavors there and she
helped many needy women and children there so now both of
31
and the advocate was reaching for him. Upon this, he was given
the travel expenses from Hyderabad to Kazipet to the supervisor
of the Nobat Khana and was sent him from Hyderabad to
Kazipet and he was given the instruction to the estate
administrator which is as follows.
“ That the supervisor was presented in his service and he
ashamed of his bad deed so he was forgiven his mistake in this
matter. So you also forgive him and allow him to join on his
duty. Otherwise, he is a poor person having small children with
him so they will become economically poor and will be
destroyed in this matter. Arrange the salary of Nobat Khana staff
members from another fund.”
So after some days, the supervisor was coming back to
Qazipet from Hyderabad and he was allowed to join in his post
as per order the custodian of the shrine of Kazipet and the staff
members of the Nobat Khana was paid their salaries from the
other fund by the administrator of the estate. (Reference from
my translated English edition book of the biography of Hazrat
Ghulam Afzal Biabani from the below book)

In the last, I request the readers of this article to pray for our
grandmother and grandfather for which the author will be
obliged to them for their kind help and cooperation in this
matter.
I am also obliged to the unknown visitors of the graves of my
grandfather and grandmother at the graveyard of Kazipet shrine
for their kind visits and placing of the flowers on the graves and
for which I could not forget this favour and attention so I will
pray for them in this matter to extend my heartfelt thanks in this
matter.

This is a valuable book with rare and interesting details from the
life of the amazing and one of the greatest Sufi Saints Taj uddin
Baba, who spent most of his life in Nagpur, in the pre
independent India.
I had come across the name of this Saint in the life history
of Shirdi Sai Baba written by Master E. Bharadvaja. It is
reported there that once Shirdi Baba confused his disciples by
mysteriously drumming on a water pot with his satka (a short
stick he used to carry with him). He explained his action by
saying, that he is extinguishing the fire which caught the hut of

The prophet has said that “Among the slaves of Allah there are
such persons who are not prophets, martyrs but on the day of
judgment due to nearness of Allah the prophets and martyrs will
envy upon them for their status.” So the companions have asked
the prophet “Oh prophet of Allah tell us about them that who
will be such persons.? And what are their deeds.? So that we can
love them.”The prophet said that “ They will love for sake of
Allah and there is no relation among them or material benefits.
The people will be in a condition of sorrow and sadness but they
will not have sorrow and sadness with them. “The prophet of
Allah has recited the following verse.
With his edge of the shirt great rank holy persons who were
attached with him. Among them his dear son and custodian of
his shrine Hazrat Syed Sadiq Ali Shah, Faqhi Al-Hind, Hazrat
Shah Masood, Hazrat Sher Mohammed Khan Sharqpuri and
Hakim Ahmed Ali Dharamkoti who are well known and famous
in this matter. (among his 100 caliphs the above persons who are
well known and famous ).Syed Sadiq Ali Shah who he will look
his favour then he will make that person without want except
Allah. Hazrat Imam Ali Ahah while given permission and
caliphate told him that “Those who will be attached with your
edge of the shirt then they will be in happy and glad condition.”
About Mufti (Muslim jurist) Azam Mohammed Mazhar Allah
and whose description will be in the next pages as well as the
52
reason for his popularity and fame is the cause of the above
prayer’s miracle of his father.
Hazrat Mufti Azam Mazhar who was the heir of the prophet.
Hazrat Mujadid Alif Thani who said that the prophet has said
that “The learned persons are the heirs of the prophet.”The
knowledge of the prophets is two kinds one is knowledge of the
orders and the other is knowledge of the secrets. The learned
person is such an heir who knows such of the two bits of
knowledge with him. And either such person who has one kind
of knowledge and does not have knowledge other kind and then
this matter is against heredity ship. Because heir will get the
57
Almarma Min Ahbu and its meaning are that the man is found
with whom he loves and then man puts his step on the Sufism
and his dignity will be changing that in manifest he will be with
mankind but in reality, he will be with Allah. Or you can say it
that is in manifest he is with mankind and in reality, he is with
Allah. Or you can say it that is in manifest he is with mankind
and in reality, he is with Allah. When he will read about
knowledge then for it, he will act upon it. Then for it, he will
create in his sincerity. And for only the sake of the willingness
of Allah then he will act. And for this, he will not desire either
for heaven or hell. And not to have any desire of the two worlds
except to meeting with Allah and his happiness. The relation of
the heart which will be with the personality of the oneness of
Allah. Besides love there will be relations then such love will be
with fondness. Against the love of the people for things. And
which will be with one personality and that is his soul. The love
of all things and details of the soul which will be explained by
the chairperson.
1. To obtain the grace of the other world and aim of the
nearness of the Allah is the obedience of the prophet. So it is
required from you that to obtain the knowledge of Sunnah as per
as possible and to act endeavor upon it fully. Qul ein quntam
tuhibun allah fattabuni yuhubikum allahu so it is confirmed the
promise of Allah is that Allah will make you his beloved.
The order of the pledge
he has obtained company of the shaikh for few days and in such
a short period of time Hazrat Syed Sadiq Ali Shah who has
given to him everything and which can be obtained after
worship and endeavors of many years. He has given him in one
of his attention the status of a higher grade of the annihilation of
self. Even though his spiritual master has left this mortal world
after a period of one year but it is available his favour and usage
of innermost to him from the world of purgatory. And Hazrat
Alif Thani who has said that “After the death, there will not be
snatched saintliness from holy persons but there will be added
more usage in this matter.”
In the letters of Hazrat Mazhar which are proof that Hazrat
Syed Sadiq Ali Shah from the world of the purgatory to his true
disciple and his aim, it means upon his disciple Hazrat Mahzr he
has done favours of usage and also allowed excellence of the
64
Hazrat Mazhar’s biography in which there was overpowering
of the love of the prophet and when there will come Friday then
after prayer there will be held a meeting and in which after
reciting of the Holy Quran there will be start encomium on holy
prophet then at that time there will be prevailed a strange
condition upon Hazrat Mazhar for this reason. When the month
of the holy prophet’s nativity comes every year when there will
be held a meeting of the nativity then at that time there will be
prevailed condition of fondness and affection which will be seen
noticeable upon him. The follower of the way of the spiritualism
Dr. Mohammed Masood Ahmed who has mentioned in his book
Tadhkira Masood he has mentioned his condition
and the details are as follows.
67
birth of the prophet which has been seen by lucky the people of
the Makkah. It will be seen like that on the singer’s voice angels
of emporiums in the sky are also dancing. And this is such time
then the real lover who has permitted to his adored angels and
dear people to participate in the chorus program. “Indeed, Allah
and His Angels send blessing upon the Prophet and His angels.
O you who have believed, ask [Allah to send] blessing upon him
and peace” Quran 33:56.
After Salam and the blessing of the prophet, there will be
praying and after that immediately there will be a call for the
Azan (call) prayer. Then the audience of the meeting will make
preparations for the morning Fajar prayer. When there will be
prayer then it seems that it is like Eid day and in reality, it is this
Eid day because for this sake there will be possible of the
thousand Eid days. To ignore it is like great deprivation and
ungratefulness and immediately after the prayer, there will be
the distribution of the sweets among people in the mosque
among the persons of the prayer of the rows.
On this occasion, ten maunds of the sweet will be prepared
and which will be distributed without any disturbance among the
audience persons easily and smoothly, and then the meeting will
be ended.
From nine o'clock morning, there will arrange food for the
poor and well to do persons on the eating carpet and there will
be prepared about 40 maund food and food serving which will
be continued from ten ‘ o clock to three o'clock and for about six
hours. And many thousand people will be benefitted from the
tray of the feast at which booty is divided in this matter. After
69
Zuhar prayer there will be the recitation of the Holy Quran and
there will be the speech of any learned person and after the short
invocation, this small meeting will be ended.
Prayer and mystical exercise: To get felicity before
mentioning the details of the worship of Hazrat Mazher it seems
good that to write the saying of Dr. Mohammed Masood from
which it is known that Hazrat merciful spiritual master who has
the status of the dignity of being a beloved since his beginning
time.
“ The habit of Allah is that when he will make his beloved then
he will make his source less and then there will be known
condition of loveliness when all sources will be keep away from
and then he will help him.”
Hazrat Maqdum (master) used to perform his payers on the
time. And why he will not perform as his beloved of his prophet.
As the prayed is liked by the prophet very much.
He used to arrange the performance of the prayers with
Quranic order and wear a clean dress and on Fridays and on Eid
occasions he uses the fragrance. And perform fresh ablution for
each and every prayer and with the special arrangement, he will
go to the mosque for the prayer.
In the prayer attention of the heart and amazement was such
that and as per one saying of one learned who has said that
“Hazrat Mazhar who led prayers for a period of 30-35 years but
he did not perform prostration for the mistake in the prayer.”
Before this I want to tell you about his supererogatory prayer
(Tahjud) I think it is necessary that to mention the saying of his
grandfather Hazrat Syed Imam Ali which he has said about
Tahjud prayer and which is as follows.
70
there will be dull business. But yes the business of the other
world will be always running well. So there will be required
attention of the man in this matter. And this business which will
be coming cause of the progress in the business of this world.So
try in this matter.
The welfare of the religion and world : Hazrat Mazhar while
teaching his disciples about welfare and religion and the world
he said to them as follows.
1.Those who used to ignore the duties of the world so they in
reality who are unable to know the soul of the mysticism. And
original perfection is that while performing the duties of the
world they should not ignore their creator at any moment. And
his remembrance which should be encircle upon all works and
all remembrances.
2.The angels are free from the problems of the world. And their
status is less than then obedient men. The status of the man is
more because the man while involving in the problems of the
world he will engage in the worship of Allah.So waiting for
indifferent in it is useless. So when you become indifferent in
this matter then there will be no weight of the worship upon you.
So while involving in the problems of the world try and be
engaged in the worship of Allah.
Humility and sincerity : In the biography of the prophet there
was meekness and sincerity. Allah has given such passion
which was not given by him to any prophet or any other prophet
to whom scripture are revealed. So for this reason when his foot
wears will be broken, then he himself repaired it. When he will
arrive not with pride and arrogance but with sincerity. The
condition of his humility and sincerity was such that he used to
wash his dress by himself.He used to extract milk of his goat by
75
himself. He used to say Salam to small and big who will meet
him.
Hazrat Mazhar, who was a great person of knowledge and
Arif (mystic) person. In following the Sunnah of the prophet his
humility and sincerity were in such condition that sometimes he
used to clean his room by himself.
And he will use to repair his footwear by himself. Sometime he
used for weaving a rope net of his bed with much tidy and
beautiful. During a period of riots in the year 1947, he himself
cooked his food.
In the letters written by him to disciples and sincere persons
in which there are angles which are found and prominently
about his humility and sincerity.
1.Oh my dear men to desire and try such thing so that it will
benefit you . What will be you get to benefit from meeting with
this useless person?
2. Those who praise me it is their good opinion. And I know my
deeds very well. So, since there will be no praise by me in this
matter. Yes, pray for me.
Forgive and forget:The prophet has forgiven his biggest
enemies.In the Taif plain he was full of the blood injuries on his
body but he has prayed his enemies in their favour for guidance.
After of the victory of Makkah, he has declared general
forgiveness and forgetfulness. And even he has said that “Today
there will be forgiveness to all. And those who will enter into
the house of Abu Sufian then there will be peace for
them.”That Negro who has killed Hazrat Hamza upon saying of
the wife of Abu Suifan to him and who was chewed the liver of
Hazrat Hamza was also prophet has forgiven him.
76
the man faith and heart and did not need the wisdom in this
matter.
In the holy book of Quran whatever The All Knowing and
The All Aware has said which is true.In any of the sayings of
Allah there is no chance of doubt and suspension. In this matter
the events which are mentioned in the Quran as follows.
1.When upon corpse of one killer of Bani Israel were beaten
with parts of the cow then he was becoming live and he has told
his killer’s name.(Part one, Rukuh 9).
2.Death of Prophet Aziz. And death of his donkey and rebirth
after 100 years (part 3,R9).
3.Allah said “Then take four of the birds and tame them to
come towards you , then place them on every mountain a part of
them, call them, they will come to you swiftly, and know that
Allah is mighty.”
4. The persons of cave who are slept in the cave for a period
309 years and after that period to come into condition conscious
and safety of the body.”Verse Kahaf part 15)
5. Hazrat Prophet Musa’s company in the Prophet Khizer and
the story’s strange events. (Verse Kahaf)
6.“O, Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy,
and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the
mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails.” (Quran,
20:80), on the nation of Prophet Musa and Prophet Eisa from the
sky. (Verse Baqer and verse Maida).
7.The crossing over of the river Nile by Prophet Musa and his
nation safely and drowning and killing of the Pharoah and his
nation in the river. (Sura Baqer part one R 6).
8.The falling down of the earth and killing on the nation of the
Prophet Lut (part 14, R 5).
79
prophet who has made held up the small top of the miswak stick
in his hand and he said by his holy tongue as follows and he has
gone to another world by saying as follows.
“Allahumma rafiq Al-Ala”
Hazrat Mazhar’s look which was at the side of Allah since
his beginning period of the life. He was at the higher place of
morality and he was always lived with his creator in the
condition of connected. And he did not has any time his
connection with other than Allah. And he has looked only
toward his creator. And spend his whole life in the real slavery
of the prophet of Allah. Allah has given him such reward for his
thought toward Allah and prophet that he was called him
toward his meeting in the holy month of the prophet Shababan
as well as on holy night of the 14 th Shaban in the year 1386
Hegira after Asar prayer it means in between Asar and Maghrib
prayer which is time of the acceptance of the prays by Allah.
And as such time Allah has called him for his meeting. And
Hazrat Mazhar’s prayer which is accepted.
In your fondness there will be evening of life
The axis of his life biography which was only love of the
prophet of Allah. And he has spent all his life in the
remembrance of his master.In his life the remembrance which
he preferred was only about the prophet. Now in purgatory the
remembrance which he preferred to hear is also about the
remembrance of the prophet. And in its proof the following
event is added as follows.
In the Jama Masjid Arambagh Karachi after his death in the
year 1966 there will be held every year annual Urs (death
ceremony) and which there will be held under the chairperson
of the Dr, and professor Mohammed Masood Ahmed and who
is shaikh of Sufi chain of Naqshabandia and Mazheria.
83
And Hazrat Mazher six years before come in the dream and
was advised one of his mystic ways son that to tell Masood
Mia that “ In the Urs ceremony there should be no remembrance
about him but there should be done remembrance about the
prophet only.” He was such mortal status in the love of the
prophet that he was advising to remembrance of the prophet in
the Urs ceremony instead of remembrance of him.

Hazrat Baqi Billah in Delhi. And who has permission and
caliphate from his elder brother.
Hazrat Dr. Mohamemd Masud Ahmed is not only a perfect
Arif (mystic) person but his chest is full light of the Prophet of
Allah and he is a great Islamic research scholar. And about his
service of research and knowledge which is recognized in all
over the world. The research scholar of the west and east who
used to visit his door and will refer with him.And which is due
to the favour of his look of his father Hazrat Mazhar and who
was Islamic Jurist of the India.
In the year 1948 still he was student and at that time he went
to Hyderabad Sindh due to illness of his brother Hazrat Manzur
84
Ahmed in the year 1947. And his elder brother who was
becoming a great person of the knowledge and person of
excellence and for this reason his teacher who think about him
that if his age will be allow to him then in that case his status
and he will be like learned person Shah Abdul Aziz Mohadith
Dehlavi. Hazrat Mazhar who was gratification of his son in this
matter. When his great son who has left this mortal world then at
that time he has written in the reply of condolence letter that “
Yesterday there came telegram from Hyderabad that Hazrat
Manzaur Ahmed was died and this my son who was greater
learned person in status among his other three brothers.”
Upon the death of his brother when Masood Ahmed who has
sent condolence letter to Delhi and in its reply Hazrat Mazhar
has wrote that about his glad tidings of the deceased “ With
deceased there were attached many desires and wishes and but
now its turn was towards you. Oh Allah cool my eyes with you
and mankind may be benefitted by your religious service.”
In the year 1953 Hazrat Mazhar who wrote him in his letter
that “ I hope that you will go ahead of your brother and you will
become model of your ancestors.”
Here this point which should be think over that Hazrat
Mazhar who told about Manzhur Ahmed that this son is a great
learned person among his all brothers. And he told the hazrat
masood that he will go ahead among all his brothers.”
Hazrat Masood Ahmed who was pledged on the hands of his
father in the year 1956 and his service of knowledge which has
commenced and with him there were prays of his spiritual
master in this matter. But there was progress for his knowledge,
excellence and spiritualism after the death of his father. The
progress for him in the field of knowledge and spiritualism and
for seeing such progress the people were surprised.
85
And he used to recite the Holy Quran in a very decent voice and
this skill which he has got from his ancestors and is hereditary.
In the monthly meetings of the Bazme Arabab Karachi
occasionally he used to speak of about wisdom and knowledge
of Allah and he used to make a speech on the Urs ceremony of
Hazrat Mazhar on a regular basis. And the most important
aspect of his character is that his attention toward
Allah.Toleration,
patience, modesty, sense of honour, helplessness, sincerity and,
generosity and munificence, patience and firmness and which
are important features of his character and there are known
many such events from which his specialty is known.
By the will of Allah soon Hazrat Mohammed Masud Ahmed
will be like his ancestor Hazrat Mazhar and his father.

condition you will keep us and we need your willingness only.”
