Another Miracle of Haji Sahib during that Hajj was witnessed. A Baddu (Native of Arabian Desert) was showing the trick to the public in the market place and public was giving him money. This guy showed them a trick that he heated an iron rod and when it was so hot that it turned red, he holds it with his hand, he had already dipped his hand in a potion before holding the rod, therefore his hands did not burn at all. Haji Sahib was also watching these tricks. He said to this magician, “This is no trick, I will get both your hands washed with soap and then you hold the burning hot iron and I will hold it too.”

But then said, “Wait, I don’t want to give you any pain as your hands will definitely get burned”. Haji Sahib recited ‘Bismillah AR Rahman AR Raheem’ and took hold of the burning red hot iron and with both his hands and bend the iron and put it back on the fire, and said, “The heart that is burning with the love of Rasool Allah SAW and is on fire the love of Allah SWT, that heart becomes itself fire and no worldly fire can harm it’s owner”. .......................................................................................................... 72 Put Finger on the Heart and He Fainted! .................................................................................................... 72

Normally it happens in our society that when someone become famous or few people start recognizing him, he starts to relate himself to the respectable families of the society for example, Sayed, Hashmi, Qureshi, etc.…. There are few who continue with their humble beginning and achieve big in life. Never once in my life had I ever imagined that I will be known and famous among people. I once discussed this with a respectable elder about my fear of what will happen to me? Because popularity in whatever shape, it harms you. The elder asked me, “Did you ever strived for becoming famous”. I (Tariq) replied, “No, this matter is between Allah and me, I never tried it happened all by itself”. He said, “Rest assured when He appoints someone to benefit his creation then He Himself safeguards that person. Since Allah SWT is himself Beneficent he will Insha Allah protect you and support you”.

Proud or helpless, how do I satisfy people?

Dear Readers!! I don’t call myself a great personality nor do I call people of my family to be the greatest personalities of the universe. But, it is my wish, since so many people ask me and there are some misconception about me, so I want to introduce my family to the public. The rest I leave to Almighty, I cannot satisfy the hearts of people as they are in the possession of Allah, I do not even have control over my own heart how can I change the views of others. So far what ever little I found about the background and life style of my family I will share it with you. Most of these came to me through two sources, firstly through the memoirs of different personalities and secondly via print media.

w

These memoirs of different people that were narrated to me in shape of tales, stories or events, I will present to you. Those parts that relate to print media that also I will present as I go and will give you references of the sources (printed materials). These magazines, newspapers, and other printed source is dated back to approximately centuries. Note: please note that whatever I write is not absolutely right, there is hundred percent chance of error. I tried my best to say less rather then more and I did a lots of research for my references, so that when I quote them it should be correct. But, dear readers if you still find an error or mistake, please kindly let me know. I will greatly appreciate.

I started searching about my family’s life style and background in 1996, because my first book, “Sunnat Nabwi (SAW) and Jaddid Science”, came out in 1997. Starting from 1996 till 2017, for twenty-one years I did not consider myself worthy of writing about my family background and life style. I continuously collected materials relating to history of my family. I met different personalities and searched the sources and gathered them. Now with great fear and hesitation I am presenting this material, I am not sure how people will take it. I usually ignore the negative criticism and do not let it hinder my constructive research projects.

Why did respected father RA left the white-collar job?

w

w

w

Respected father RA (demise Friday morning, April 11, 1997) had an intellectual style, he completed his education in 1960. He got a very good job in Police department. His height the size of his waist which were the prerequisites for this job, he fulfilled all those, and he was selected.

This was the kind of job where later people retired as DIG Police or IG Police. Because my father was very tall and had good health and he was very well educated so he did not face any difficulty in being selected for this position, normally people would have to struggle to get this job. He stayed at this job for three days, after three days he left this job. When asked by his elders why he left the job he said, “I have seen the atmosphere at this job very closely and I do not think I am a right fit for it”. With a sigh he further said, “I got this job with great joy, but now I resigned with great satisfaction. Though they were not accepting my resignation, they were very happy with my performance. Performance is one thing but honest living is something else”. I have witnessed this in my father that Allah had blessed him with immense wealth, happiness and satisfaction in his life. I have little something of that in me as well and wish and pray that it may pass on to my generations, Insha Allah.

Great Grand Father and great ambition to help humanity

Since my father had an intellectual life style, he would have gathering where learned people would come. I (Tariq) know each one of these people and will describe them individually.

First of all I will mention here Allama Aziz ur Rahman. He died twenty five years ago, he had an intellectual outlook, and his son lived inside Ahmed Puri Darwaza opposite Chowk Fawara, Bahawalpur. Zia ur Rahman passed away on October 27, 2015, he was additional Session Judge.

Allama Aziz ur Rahman was actually Senior Reader of Judge of High Court. He was fluent in Arabic, Persian and other languages. He was an expert in reading the Metal stamps of older days which was unthinkable for an ordinary man. For a short time our father send my brother and I too learn Arabic and Persian from him, since our medical terminology is mostly in these languages. He would often talk about my Grand father Haji Allah Baksh Chughtai RA (demise 1960) and Great Grand Father Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai (demise 1933). Let me clarify that Haji Allah Baksh Chughtai was mostly known and Mufti was not commonly used due to lack of knowledge

by I have found reference in different magazines and newspapers where his name is written as Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai, I will present this reference in my next publication. Allama Aziz ur Rahman once said, “I was very young at that time, your Great Grand Father and my Grand Father were very close to each other. For hours they would sit together and had scholarly and social discussion”. Since Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA liked to spend and had great ambition to help the humanity.

Arrangement for waking up people during Ramadan for Suhūr

He would very enthusiastically make arrangements for waking up people during the month of Ramadan for Suhūr. He was tall and had a big strong body. My mother Zabunisa RA (Demise Monday, October 25, 1999, 11:00 pm) used to say that my great grand father used to dress up in traditional clothes which required lot of material. He would wake up people in a very strong voice.

Same was said by my sister’s father in law, Hafiz Faiz Muhammad (Demise November 28, 2005, Islamic month Shawal) who was also my father’s cousin. My (Tariq) Great grand father Haji Mufti Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA (who was maternal grand father of Hafiz Faiz Muhamad) would often warn people regarding the Fasting and Salat and bring it to their attention.

Respected Hafiz Faiz Muhammad said the same, my maternal grand mother RA said the same (Demise Friday, February 20, 2009 age 100 years) my father Hakeem Muhammad Ramzan Chughtai RA said the same, my mother respected Zaib un Nisa said the same, my paternal aunt, Allah Wasai RA (Demise Saturday, November 15, 2008) who was mother of Chaudhry Ahmed Baksh said the same and there are more references regarding this quote that, “Close to his demise my great grand father Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA on that day after the Zahoor Prayer met every one individually. He asked everyone for forgiveness for anything that he may have said or done to harm them or their feeling in any shape or form. He even went to Hindus and said good bye to them. Then he went to Jamia Masjid where he said his prayers all his life, he said good bye to masjid. He arrived home and said good bye to all the relatives and performed his routinely Maghrib Salat and then Esha Salat. Before going to bed at night performed his usual Amal’s and slept. Woke up in Tahajud and performed the Tahajud Nawaful.

Then tied the Toes of his feet by himself, straightened his hands, covered himself with a sheet and lied down facing the Kaaba. In the morning at Fajr time when he did not wake for Salat, the people of the family, his daughter in law, my grand mother got worried and on checking found that he had passed away.

Hand Written Memories

Great grand father Hazrat Haji Mufti Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA passed away in 1933. He was very well educated, he knew Arabic, Persian, Urdu and somewhat English. He read and write, was tall in stature, had hot temper, he went to Darul ul Aloom for studies. I (Tariq) had no idea about his educational background and word “Mufti” with his name was strange for me. The main reason was that all his life he did not reveal his education and the spiritually elevation to anyone.

I (Tariq) found lot of material after I started my research. My main source was his hand written memoirs, diaries and note books. These included my father’s, Hakeem Muhammad Ramzan Chughtai RA, my grand father Haji Allah Baksh RA, my great grandfather Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad RA and his father, Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtari RA and his father Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA and his father Haji Ghulam Muhammad Chughtai and his father Faiz Muhammad Chughtai RA’s all the personal details were written in those books. I also found my father’s handwritten notes. When I searched for more references which I found in different magazine, journals, books and newspapers. You will get all these sources and you read more this as you read along.

Butchers make the Zabiha Doubtful

i.o

rg

Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA’s father Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA was very Allah fearing, pious and generous person. He resided in Ahmed Pur Shurkia in his ancestral home.

At that time Nawab of the State was Bahawal Khan, who was a very kind hearted and Religious and one who had the love of his people in his heart. He felt that the Butchers made Zabiha doubtful of not being in Wudhu or not saying the Takbir or Bismillah or they were so illiterate that they did not know how to follow the proper Islamic rules for Zabiha.

Nawab Bahawal noticed what was happening. In those days, Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA, who was a business man as well as a farmer, and known for being a very pious, generous and respectable person in the society, he was a Wali of Allah (Allah’s Friend). Nawab Bahawal discussed with his counsel, and said, “If the Zabiha is not done properly and is in doubt then how will my people become good and pious citizens. He was so troubled with this matter that he appointed his officers to find God fearing and pious people who he could appoint over the butchers to monitor and train the butchers in the Islamic way of Zabiha and teach the difference between halal and haram.

A special order was issued in which the name of Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai’s name was mentioned with prominence saying his Honesty and piousness. In this order the names of all in charge from each area was mentioned and the name of Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai was mentioned prominently with great respect. Major Munchin mentioned in his memoir that a rank was designated for him and it was called, “Amr Bil Maruf” (Enforcement of Good). He was given Government Rank and perks; this rank was also designated in Nawab’s court and meetings.

Though it is clearly mentioned in the family memoirs (Family Memoir # 33) that personally he was not in the favour of this rank and tried to stay away from all this. He would not even go the King’s court and was seen unhappy that he was responsible for the community and he is answerable to Allah Almighty for this responsibility. His job was to enforce goodness and forbid the bad. Each Tuesday and Wednesday everyone had to report to the In charge of “Amr Bil Maruf” and their attendance was noticed and who ever did not come was fined and penalized.

Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA In charge for “Amr Bil Maruf” (Ref: Major Manjun’s memoirs 1866 page # 103, published and issued Mutba ul Amwar, Purani Anar Kali, Lahore) was a very respected and known personality of Bahawalpur. Due to his keen interest in the welfare of community and generosity towards the needy, people started seeking his help for their all kinds of disputes with each other. People trusted his opinion so much that they would entrust him for their valuables with out any kind of fear and trusted him to take care of their possessions.

Basically, the family profession of Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA was Agriculturist, Business, and medicine. Along with this he was known for his generosity, social involvements and support for the welfare of the common people not only in state of Bahawalpur but all over the subcontinent. Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA’s all these qualities were mentioned in different newspapers, magazines and books. The references of these are as follows: Paisa Akhbar Anarkali Lahore 1890; Rafique ul Hind, 1899, Maulvi Muharam Ali Chishti; Safar Nama Bahawalpur Sir Jord, 1902; Maulana Ahmed Ali Muhadas Saharan Puri’s meeting with him, for reference see Monthly Muaraf Saharan Pur August 1916 5.

Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai’s father Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai had the same traits as his son, it is mentioned in the family Diary # 38 page # 192 that Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai was among those people who great inclination towards Jihad. He was very much interested in the matters of Bala Kot and Shamli. He spend his money, time and lot of energy towards this cause. There is one event associated to him. In the year 1826 he went with the caravan of Sayed Badshah (Sayed Ahmed Shaheed RA) from Delhi to Bala Kot, on the way they passed Jassalmir, Rajhastan, Rohi (Desert of Bahawalpur) and after a difficult journey reached Bala Kot. During this journey when they reached near Qila Derawar, they camped there for three days. All the expenses of this Caravan came to five thousand three hundred thirteen rupees nine anas and seventy paisas. If Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

He also sends his men and his brother with this caravan. His brother was martyred there and his body was buried in the graveyard of Balakot (reference Caravan Sayed Ahmed Shaheed, author Maulana Hussain Baksh Turk, published by Tauheed inner old Tehsil Rawalpindi edition 1927; page # 113 to 117). It is written clearly in this book that Shah Sahib would often say with a sigh, “During this journey the respect, honor and courtesy and support shown by the Chughtai Darwaish of State of Bahawalpur surpasses all. In Manshera, Chunkiary and Bafa there are still many people whose background is Turk, they migrated from Turkey centuries ago and still live in these places.

I told him, “I am from Bahawalpur”, he asked, “which village”, I said, “From the city of Ahmed pur Shurkia”, He at once looked at me sharply and said that is the city of my elders and respected people. He talked about Peer Fazal Ali Qurashi Sahib RA and said, “This is the only city where most of Peer Sahib’s devotees and successors lived.

Chughtai Family would send wheat (I still have receipts from the railway). In those days when the price of gold was five rupees per Tola, Chughtai family used to send Thousand rupees worth of donation. They were very rich but at the same time very generous and was big

He would take with him the traditional cloaks (Ajaruk) from Sind and the trandional style rugs and mats and beautifully designed ceramics earthern ware and pots. He would take this gifts with him whenever he went to Dar ul Aloom.

He said, “Now that I met, I am satisfied that Allah listed to my prayers and fulfilled my wish. An individual from this family met me it seems I found everything.”

I would put check marks on my grazing stick and would study my lesson and the same time graze the goats. Masjid Azizia in Chowk Chacha Basti in Ahmed Pur Shurkia is named after him, after death, he was buried in “Jannat ul Bakki”.

My (Tariq) great grand father and grand father all were very rich, whatever wealth my father and we have today, is partly coming down generation after generations from our forefathers, but mostly what my father and we have today is due to Maulana Abdul Aziz RA, as whenever he came to know of anything that was on sale, he would suggest my father to buy it. Since he was my father’s teacher, my father would not reject any of his recommendations. Maulana Abdul Aziz was a teacher and later the principal of Arabic Faazal High School Ahmed Pur Shurkia. My father was student there, I (Tariq) also studied in the same school until grade six. I often heard from Maulana Abdul Aziz, “When I was a student at Jamia Abbasia, later known as Islamic University of Bahawalpur, I often heard from Sheikh ul Jamia Hazrat Ghulam Muhammad Ghotwi, who had great connection with Peer Mehar Ali Shah RA, used to say that Chughtai family very well known in the state of Bahawalpur. Chughtai family was always remain a part of all the initiatives taken for the social and religious welfare of the people.” Maulana Abdul Aziz RA often used to tell my father, “The reason for my love for you is your family and their kindness and generosity and contribution for the common cause.”

Something similar to this is mentioned in the family memoir # 26 and also in the book, “Insan Dost Masood Khadar Posh”, compiled by ShahJahan publishers, Masood Khadar Posh Trust, Publications Diyal Sing Mansion, Shahray Quaid – I – Azam, Lahore Pakistan, in this book the events relating to Masood Khadar Posh are written. This relates to 1952, when Masood Khadar Posh was Deputy Commissioner in Muzaffargarh. He wrote in his memoirs, “I did not believe in the religion, god forbid, I had doubts about some of the rules and regulations of the Deen.

Someone told me that I should go for prayer to a person, who is highly regarded as very close to Allah Almighty, but he has hidden himself and does not disclose his true Knowledge and high level and closeness to Almighty. I went to meet with Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA, when I reached at his doorstep it was after Maghrib time, I requested him to pray for me, we are three men. I introduced myself, this was my first meeting with him. After this a chain of meetings started for the next eleven years, then I met him again in 1952 when I was appointed Deputy Commissioner of Muzaffargarh. This was the time of great famine; all necessities of life were scarce. I asked him to pray for me, this was a very long and detailed meeting. During these eleven years I learned a lot from Haji Sahib RA. I saw a great acceptance in all his prayers.”

I want to clarify here that Masood Khadar Posh wrote himself, “I started to attend the lectures of Hazrat Maulana Ahmed Ali Lahori RA in 1932, when I was only eighteen years old. I used to go daily to Sherawala Darwaza Jamia Masjid where the lectures were held. I once asked him that he often wears clothes made of thick cotton woven by hand looms, is there a special reason for this Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

preference. He addressed the whole crowd and said, “This youth has asked a very interesting question, he wants to know why I always wear clothes made of hand looms. My answer to that is, I want I not only wear the dresses made of hand looms, but everything used in my home is made in my homeland and I suggest others as well to use the things made in our own country. If you do not to do this, then the weavers and thousand of other trades people will become very poor and will die of hunger and poverty.” Masood Khadar Posh tod this tale of forty-one years ago and said that after that he made a promise in the house of Allah that I will also follow this recommendations of Hazrat Lahori RA. Masood Khadar Posh further wrote in his memoire that he learned a lot from Hazrat Lahori RA and from the sittings with Haji Mufti Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA and after that from the sittings with Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA, and my outlook regarding the religious matters changed a lot due to these elders. As per reference: Family memoir # 26 and also in the book, “Insan Dost Masood Khadar Posh”, compiled by ShahJahan publishers, Masood Khadar Posh Trust, Publications Diyal Sing Mansion, Shahray Quaid – I – Azam, Lahore Pakistan.

Recognition of Halal & Haram and Exemplary Generosity

This relates to pre partition period of Indo – Pak, I heard this from Sheikh ul hadith, Maulana Ahmed Sayed Kazmi Sahib RA of Jamia Abbasia Bahawalpur, whose Madrassa, known as Dar ul Aloom is in the city of Multan, “Ahmed Pur Shurkia has many qualities and among those qualities is also that there lived this great Chughtai family, whose elders gave this city two things. First the recognition of ‘Halal and Haram’ and second Showed them so much generosity that the public still remember their generosity.” Then he further explained that there lived a man by the name of Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA who was from eighteenth century. He was very knowledgeable, well known, rich and generous person. Nawab Bahawal appointed him the in charge of the people from lower trades, so that he can train them and teach them the difference between Halal and Haram. He taught them the prohibitions of Zabiha, how to keep the knife sharp so that the animal would not feel the pain, do not cut one animal in front of the other, the animal should be healthy before you perform the Zabiha. He taught these people lots of other things relating to Sharia. After some time, people forgot his true identity, though his family profession was business, cultivation and medicine.

Maulana Abdul Aziz Sahib RA also often used to say that elders of Chughtai family were very generous and had a history of helping the poor and needy. Chughtai family used to sponsor the Dar ul Aloom by sending them donations and food. Nawab of Bahawalpur appointed this Family as the in charge of Department of Amr ul Maruf. This family migrated from Afghanistan, there mother tongue was Farsi. Approximately two centuries ago they choose State of Bahawalpur as their new home, because in Afghanistan they were expelled due to their involvement in Religious Activism. Since they were very knowledgeable and learned in all aspects of religion, therefore out of five hundred and seventy-eight states of Pakistan they choose State of Bahawalpur because it was known for its rich soil and religious movements. They granted great favours to the Deen and those who promoted the Deen. In Bahawalpur the Chughtai family adopted their family profession which was business, Agriculture and medicine.

When I got admission in Tibia College Bahawalpur in 1988’, one of my Professors who taught us Pathology, Anatomy and Physiology was called Professor Hafiz Abdul Jalil. He used to live in Mohalla Ganj Sharif near the Shahi Bazar in Bahawalpur. His brother Hakim Hafiz Abdul Ghani wrote many biographies of Hazrat Maulana Shams ul Huq Afghani RA. He collected many of his addresses which are still available in the market. When I met the professor, he asked me where I belonged, I told him that I came from Ahmed Pur Shurkia. He asked me my fathers name, told him then he asked me my grand father’s name, when I said his name and at once looked at me and said, “Is your Great Grand Father’s name, Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA.” I nodded my head in yes, he at once embraced me and pulled my both ears and said, he was the benefactor of not only my father but his father as well. He then told me about an event, “In Khatam e Nabowat Case, your great grand father Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad, used to visit Judge Muhammad Akbar Khan RA along with other prominent personalities of the state. During these visits my father Maulana Muhammad Ali would often accompany him, your great grand father would always tell the judge, ‘This is not my case, this is a matter of the owner of Madinah, SAW and his honor and respect, and for the honor and respect of the owner of Madinah, Hazrat Muhammad SAW’s I will keep knocking your door.” My great grand father, Mufti Haji Fateh Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Muhammad Chughtai RA was an honourable and respectful personality of the society, and the judge knew this, therefore he used to respect him a lot. The Judge respectfully would always say, “Yes Sir” to every query of Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA and Judge Muhammad Akbar Khan proved it as well. Mufti Sahib had contacts will the leaders of all the religious groups and the all respected him. For further reference to this event please see Monthly “Dare Yateem” August 1944’ Bahawalpur.

During his stay all his expenses were paid by Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA and his son Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai.

He would donate to Religious schools and orphanages. He used to respect the religious scholars from all schools of thought and would entertain them with great honour and pleasure. Allama Sahib further said, “When I was young, Mufti Sahib asked me to recite Naat in Arabic, Farsi and Sariki. I would say these in front of him and then he would reward me with money and sweets. I got so used to all these rewards and treats that I would look out for him. On seeing me he always ask me to recite something for him about Holy Prophet SAW. I sang for him and there was not a single moment when he would not cry in the love of the last Prophet SAW. Sometimes he would openly cry in His love. I felt that Mufti Sahib did not have any thing against any language or religious denomination and treated everyone equal.

In year 1986’ I (Tariq) took admission in Government Degree College, Dera Nawab Sahib. My Principal at this college was Abdul Huq Sahmi. Once I went to the Principal’s office to get approval for a vacation, as I had to go and visit my Murshid, Qutab ul Qutab Hazrat Khawaja Sayed Muhammad Abdullah Hajwari RA. He asked me, “Where are your going”. I give a little introduction of my Murshid RA. Sahmi Sahib was writing some thing, he put down his pen and asked me which family I belonged to. I told my father’s name, he asked my grandfather’s name, when I told him, he asked me to sit down on the chair. I sat down with fear and hesitation. He said tell me the name of your great grand father, when I told him, he said, “Do you know the connection of you great grand father to my elders”. I said I don’t know. He said that his elders Noor Muhammad Sahmi (his father’s name was Roshan Deen Sahmi and now presently his grand son, Muhammad Afzal Sahmi, Ahmed Pur Shurkia) came from Jalandhar India. Presently they have a beautiful garden and house close to Qau Shala. He had a big Library in his house.

Sahmi Sahib used to have great love for books. Once someone came to borrow a book from him, since his saying was, “Never lend a book, if you want you can donate the book as gift, but don’t lend as the borrower never returns the book”. Sahmi Sahib refused to lend the book to this guy, but the guy insisted so much, that Sahmi Sahib went in his house and brought his wife wearing full cover and said, “leave the book take my wife.” My principal Sahmi Sahib told that his elders and my elders had great relations with each other and had mutual love and respect for each other. He said that Mufti Sahib was a great Mujahid, and his father Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA had the same nature.

If you want to eat Halal meat, go to State of Bahawalpur

This family migrated Afghanistan’s Gazni province and on observing the religious atmosphere of state of Bahawalpur settled here. Since they were very well educated and quite rich, had great generosity in their nature, they were soon noticed by Nawab of Bahawalpur. Nawab gave this family different religious positions and designations and later on gave them social appointment Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

as well. One designation given to this family was that they were appointed the in charge. Abbasi family was very sensitive about the religious affairs and had great respect and love for the Aulia Allah and great religious personalities. They established great religious schools and universities.

Chughtai family fulfilled there responsibility of being the in charge so well that it became known all over the region, that if someone wants to eat Halal meat they should go to state of Bahawalpur. Due to his this responsibility many of the poor people of their family also joined this profession, though their original profession from generations was that of business, agriculture and medicine and were known for their knowledge and wealth.

When Sahmi Sahib told me all this, I (Tariq) did not have much knowledge about this, though I had heard in my home from elders. I was surprised that people outside the family also know so much about the elders of the family. Sahmi Sahib signed my vacation application and asked me to come and see him whenever I had time. I was studied in that college for two years in these two years I came so close to him that Sahmi Sahib would introduce me to others as his son. He loved me so much that if the professors had to ask him for something, they would send me to the principal’s office and Sahmi Sahib would always kindly agree to whatever we asked. Once he told me that, in his personal library he had some books that were donated by my great grand father. The books that my great grand father had were bought from the bookstores in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran and Beirut and many other countries. Whenever my great grand father travelled to Dar ul Aloom Saharan Pur, he would take lot of gifts from Bahawalpur and on way back would bring books from Saharan Pur.

And fifth spot he mentioned the name of Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA. (for reference you can review the “Riasat” Magazine). He mentioned Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad in detail and used such glorious words to write about his services, Prayers and family grandeur and ranks in the state of Bahawalpur that no other example of such greatness can be found anywhere. More detail about this will be mentioned in the next part of this book.

It is written: “Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA is among those great people who gained lot of respect and a distinction in the state in a very short time. Gaining this respect and high status in the state was also due to his father, Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA, and his grand father Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA’s goodwill in the society family migrated from Afghanistan and choose State of Bahawalpur due to its scholarly, academic and religious atmosphere. The elders of this family fully participated in Bala Kot with both physically and financially. There physically fought the war and faced lot of hardship and injuries during the war and was under treatment for eleven months. Even lost one brother during this war and had other relatives who were seriously injured. His elders also participated in the war of Shamli. They were among the people who helped in bring back the body of Shaheed Hafiz Zaman. Allah gave this family the love for knowledge, goodness and kindness for the less privileged. I had few chances of meeting him, each time I returned he would give me valuable gifts, according to his principles it was sinful to let a guest go empty handed.

Close to Ahmad Pur Shurkia is a town called Mubarak Pur, next to it is a village by the name of Pipli Rajan. A great son of Syed Family of that village, Peer Muhammad Ali Shah Sahib, who was an associate of Ameer a Shareet and a well-known scholar of his time, once invited my father, Hazrat Hakim Muhammad Ramzan Chughtai RA, for dinner along with other prominent religious and learned scholars of that time. Among those invited were Allama Abdul Rahman Sahib RA, Peer Muhammad Ali Shah Sahib RA, Sayed Zawar Hussain Shah Sahib, Respected Sayed Waliat Shah Sahib, kaddi Nasheen of Darbar a Alia Noor Shah Bukhari and my (Tariq) teacher Ustad Mukhtar Shah Sahib’s father and some other respected people. During the conversation, Peer Muhammad Ali Shah Sahib addressed my (Tariq) father Hazrat Hakim Muhammad Ramzan Chughtai RA and said that I knew your father Haji Sahib very well and me him few times. He said, " I was very young when I saw your grand father, it was during the time when I was studying at the Jamia Masjid of Ahmad Pur Shurkia and Mufti Wahid Bakhsh who was Khalifa of Hazrat Thanvi RA, had recently arrived in Ahmad Pur. Mufti Wahid Bakhsh was from the Bhatti family of village Jamal Pur which was near Qaeem Pur, because Allah had given him such a high rank as a scholar that world will pay homage to him till Qiamat.”

Peer Muhammad Ali Shah RA, said, “When I was studying at Jamia Masjid, in front of the masjid was the shop of your great grand father. He was very regular with him prayers. At each Salah time he would shut down his shop half an hour early and would come to masjid and would say That ul wudu Nafal and That ul masjid Nafal and then would perform the Sunnah, after words he got busy in different Azkar and prayers. I always say this routine in his life. Since I was very fond of reading Naats, he would often call me and ask me to recite the poetry in farsi and Arabic and used to say, ‘Arabic is crown of my head’.” Since our family had come from Afghanistan they used to speak Farsi and very great lovers of religious knowledge, I still remember his words today.

Mufti Abdul Kudus Sahib RA’s big brother, Maulana Abdul Malik Sahib RA, was my (Tariq) teacher.

He was also my father’s teacher. I was his student in grade two or three. Once he punished and slapped me, it was my mistake, I had put soil in the ink pot in one of my class fellows, Khalid Chauhan who is currently the president of Union of Stamper’s. While hitting me and punishing me, I still remember he kept saying, “If you were not the son of a great family I would have punished you even more. Is this the way a person from a great family acts? You ruined the name of your elders. I still remember your great grand father. He was a very learned man, I was myself his student. I studied ‘Mashkat Shareef’ from him.”

He was not the only one who mentioned about my great grand father’s knowledge and reading of the Hadees Mubarak, but lot of other people were his students and mentioned his love of Hadees Mubarak.

Khan Habib ur Rahman Khan was a very good friend of Dr. Malik Muhammad Yahya who was top surgeon of Ahmed Pur Shurkia and had done his MBBS from King Edward Medical College. In the last days, according to Maulana Abdullah Sahib took Baiat from Kundian Shareef.

Khan Habib ur Rahman Sahib used to visit my father often they had different academic and scholarly discussion and had book exchange as well.

Doctor Sahib told us an event, he said, “After I passed MBBS in 1954 from King Edward Medical College, I opened my first clinic in Basti Malook near Multan. It was a small village and people lived a simple life, since I belonged to Kamboh family of Multan, it was not possible to travel back and forth from Multan every day, Public Transport was not like as todays, the travelling was not easy, so I decided to stay in Basti Malook. During my stay there, an older Gentleman who got better with my medicine, used to tell tales of older personalities. One of his tales he told me that, “I became very poor, I went into so much poverty that I became penniless. This was the time when mostly people were poor or just made ends meet. Some one told me to go to Ahmad Pur Shurkia in the state of Bahawalpur, there lives a father and son, who are very generous and hospitable. Father’s name is Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, and son’s name is Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA. He will provide for you and will not send you back empty handed.”

Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, further told me, that his family migrated from Gazni, Afghanistan and settled in State of Bahawalpur approximately two centuries ago. They had received the “Choqa” from the elders and Sheiks of Gazni in return for their services to the Deen.

He said, “This “Choqa”, actually belonged to the family of Hazrat Ali Hajveri, a.k.a. Hazrat Data Ganj Bakhsh RA. For this reason, people started calling us Chughtai, in fact we have no connection to Chughtai or Halagu or Chinggis khan, we are actually “Choqa Zai” and due to linguistics, the name changed to Chughtai.

They are among those respectful people of the state who are respected by everyone. During my meeting with Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, I noticed in his speech a kind of sadness, his words had a special order and he spoke very good Urdu and Arabic, he was very well educated and also knew English.

I did lots of research and asked lots of people about this magazine, but no one knows anything. I also contacted Dr. Shahid Rizvi, editor to "Al Zubair", he also was not familiar with it. Suddenly one day Professor Noor Muhammad Ghazali from Shah Rukan Allam Colony from Multan, came to see me for treatment. He mentioned about his personal library and his vast collection of magazines and different journals he had in his library. I suddenly asked him, “Sometimes back, Hakeem Faiz Muhammad Sahib, who lived in 'Klanch Wali District Bahawalpur’, used to issue a magazine by the name of 'Abay Hayat'." He replied, "I might have this magazine in my collection, but let me have a look and I will let you know". After some time, he informed me that he has few publications of the magazine. I asked him if he could check one that mentions the Chughtai family of Ahmed Pur Shurkia. A few days later he told me that he has that magazine. I was very happy. He sends me complete copy Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

of the magazine. Magazine ‘Abay Hayat’, was published during the time of state, and consisted of thirty-two pages and it continued for few years. It comprised of very good content. The publication of the magazine that I required was from year 1927’, the copy I received was very old and ancient, the appearance was timeworn. Some places in the photo copy are not very clear but can be read with little difficulty.

“Sheikh I am not worthy of this”!!

Lala Ubaid passed away last year. He was the grandson of Maulana Nazir Ahmad who was the Khalifa of Hazrat Peer Fazal Elahi Qureshi Sahib, whose shrine is still in Qubay Wali Masjid. Lala Ubaid was often heard saying that he heard from both his father and his grandfather that, Peer Fazal Elahi Qureshi Sahib often said, that he insisted numerous times to Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA, “I want to pass on the Khilafat to you”, but each time he excused himself and always replied, “Sheikh I am not worthy of this responsibility. Please do not think I am being ungrateful of this great recognition and honor that you want to bestow on me, but I do not think myself deserving of this high status and rank.” Peer Fazal Elahi Qureshi Sahib kissed him on the forehead and embraced him to his chest and said, “Your grandson will enlighten hundreds and thousands of hearts”.

Hazrat Peer Fazal Ali Qureshi then said to him, “Al right if you don’t want to take the Khilafat then take the ‘Nisbet’, (meaning, ‘the spiritual connection to a higher authority in the closeness to Allah SWT). But remember that this ‘Nisbet’ will be transferred to your third generation, your grandson will enlighten the hearts of hundreds and thousands of mankind, and (Maybe it was said about me (Tariq), May Allah SWT make this happen and grant me the ability to do so.

He said to me, “I have heard it from Maulana Abdullah Sahib and Maulana Abdul Aziz Sahib (buried in Jannat ul Beki in Madinah Munawara) and Maulana Habib Ullah Gumanwi Sahib, that your family was a great family and very well educated”.

Captain Amir Ayaz was resident of Dera Nawab Sahib, he had a very courteous and gracious personality. He was very fond of reading books. He would buy lot of books and since he did not have a place to store them in his house he would sell them. My (Tariq), father bought lot of books from him, though other people wanted to buy his books as well, but he always gave preference to my father and would mostly sell to him. Sometimes I would also accompany my father whenever he wants to buy a book from him. My father told me this, and I myself as well heard Captain Amir Ayaz saying this, “In many books I have read in detail about the services of your family”.

He was accompanied by his father who was very old and needed eye surgery and was going for surgery to Shujahabad. This guy asked me if he can stay with me for five days, as someone had promised to give him money after five days. I did not know about it that time or I would have arranged the money for him. In those five days the older gentleman, who was very intelligent told me lot of stories about Ahmed Pur Shurkia, Dera Nawab and Qila Derawar’s.

Someone told me that in Ahmed Pur Shurkia lives a man by the name of Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, he is a very hospitable and generous person and often hosts large gatherings at his residence and feed lots of people from all walks of the life. I searched for this great personality, eventually I found him. I saw a man with a very strong huge physic, wearing big turban, big traditional pants and a robe and had a very impressive grand personality, I got a bit scared. He saw me too and asked me in a very kind voice what I needed. I told him that I have huge amount of ghee and want to sell it to someone who will buy all of it together. He checked the ghee asked his servants to weigh it and paid me the price that I asked without any questions or bargaining. I was very happy as my ghee was sold the way I wanted and at a price that I asked.

People kept coming and meeting with him and was entertaining all of them with patience and care and I thought to myself, “Wow!! This person is so generous and charitable and is helping everyone and has no attitude what so ever!!” I am wondering how and from where Allah SWT has given him all this wealth.

I used to take a walk twice a day to Ahmed Pur Shurkia and Dera Nawab Sahib, where there were lot of palaces and great personalities.

Among these learned personalities was one known as Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA. Someone told me he is a great scholar and Mufti but does not write scholar or Mufti with his name and nor does he like to be called with such titles with his name. He is from the Alumni of Dar – ul – Aloom and has ‘Nisbet’ and Khilafat from lot of elders.

He took me to the tombs of some great religious personalities and I did ‘Muraqaba and Kash ful Kaboor’on their tombs (meaning ‘Meditation’).

Then I went to the tomb of Hazrat Abu al Muwali RA who was Murshid (Spiritual Leader) of Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Huq Muhadis Dehlvi. I did Muraqaba there as well, and during the Muraqaba Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Huq Muhadis Dehlvi gave me lot of spiritual gifts and said, ‘take good care of these gifts, the son of your grandson is heir to all this, it is very precious and great wealth that is being passed on to you by me. {Meaning the grandson of Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA was my father Hakeem Muhammad Ramzan Chughtai RA and his son, me (Tariq)}.” I pray to Allah SWT that he makes this happen and protect my ego and keep me safe from deceit and all evils (Ameen).

The writer name was Muhammad Iqbal, Sialkot. Poetry was also my hobby and I used to write poetry myself. I wrote to the Akhbar to give the contact information for this person. The newspaper sent me his contact info after two weeks. I started correspondence with him, which continued for several years. After a while he shifted to Lahore. Once he mentioned in one of his letters that he wrote that he wanted to get an employment in Bahawalpur. I spoke to Nawab of Bahawalpur and told him highly about is educational background and experience. I convinced the Nawab to hire him, but in the mean while he, (Allama Iqbal) found a very good job somewhere else.

Donation Drive for 2nd World War and Chughtai Family

ar

In 1939’ Nazi German War or known as World War 2 was happening and the injured, prisoners and the war effected people needed money and resources, therefore a donation drive was started to fulfill these needs. The in charge of this donation drive Ahmad Pur Shurkia and Dera Nawab was Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA. (Reference; Weekly “Paigam”, Author, Lala Devi Diyal Atish, Bahawalpur 1946’)

w

He was chosen to be the in charge of the donation drive because basically he was a recluse who was always busy in Ibadat, tasbih and zikr Allah. Professionally he was a Merchant and Agriculturist. People only trusted him and would only donate if took the responsibility of passing on the donations to the right authorities. People donated whole heartedly and Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA, made sure that the donations were passed on to the poor, needy and the deserving people. .

The Love, Affection and Relation of Makhdoom Family with Chughtai Family

Makhdoom Zada Sayed Hasan Mahmood, Prime Minister of State of Bahawalpur and afterwards was Chief Minister of Punjab. His son Makhdoom Ahmad Mahmood was Governor of Punjab.

Makhdoom Zada Sayed Hasan Mahmood’s father, Makhdoom Al Mulk Makhdoom Sayed Miryan Shah had special Love, affection and a relation which can be imagined from the following writing; “In 1933 my great grandfather, Haji Mufti Fateh Muhammad Chughtai, RA passed away.

Besides this another writing like this was published in 1948’ in another English Newspaper, ‘Desert Calling’, who’s Editor was Sayed Nazir Ali Shah. In this was written ‘State of Bahawalpur has always produced such precious gems, who are priceless in the ranks of Spiritual and scholarly circles. Among these is the Chughtai family, which caught the eye of Nawab of Bahawalpur due to their faithfulness and closeness to the religion, about a century ago Nawab granted them three ranks.

1. Appointed them the ‘Amir of Bait ul Mal’, which was set up for the poor and needy 2. Give this family the rank of ‘Amar Bil Maroof’, which was is a high rank in an Islamic State.

3. This family was give the rank of being in charge of teaching the butchers and general public about the Islamic principles of Halal zabiha, and how to avoid doing zabiha without being in the state of Wudhu. And following the basic rules of Cleanliness according to the Islam.

Three Basic Ranks

These were the three basic ranks that were designated to this Chughtai family by the state of Bahawalpur. Chughtai family’s elders, Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA, Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA and Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA were those personalities who made a place in the hearts of everyone without any distinction due to their generosity, big heartedness, genuine and intellectual aptitude.

The Prime Minister of State of Bahawalpur and Chughtai Family

When Sahib Zada Hassan Mehmood was the prime minister of State of Bahawalpur he often contacted Chughtai family for prayers and duas, though he himself was from a highly spiritual and Peer and Makhdoom family. The extent of his relation and trust with this family can be assessed from the following writing which Sir Abdul Qadir wrote in his Monthly, ‘Arooj’, Roshnai Gate, Lahore, 1953’. (Please note that this magazine was issued by Sir Abdul Qadir in the beginning and later this magazine was issued by Rashid Lahori) Rashid Lahori wrote, “Whenever I used to visit Sahib Zada Hassan Mehmood and they’re was a mention of state of Bahawalpur and its affair, in some shape or form the name of Chughtai family often came up, whether it was with reference to their spirituality, their intellect, or generosity or their connection with the Nawab of State of Bahawalpur. Especially he always mention a lot about the Duas and prayers of the elders of this family.”

He would tell us about lot of happenings when their Duas and prayers helped him, whenever he had a difficulty he used to visit this family and request for the prayer and they would oblige him and pray for him and all his problems were solved because of their duas. There once was a situation where I almost lost my rank. This happened to the Hindu conspiracy, they turned Nawab of Bahawalpur against me, and the Nawab decided to demote me from my rank. In the beginning I tried other ways of getting the matter settled in my favour, but at the end I reached to the conclusion that I should seek help from a Darwaish, since only his duas would be save me. I went to the house of this family and asked them to pray for me.

He told me to pray Nawafl for three days and three nights and then do your wazaif and Surah Kasur continuously and prayed and said Duas for me. His prayers and Duas worked in my favour and Nawab of Bahawalpur whose heart was full of sadness for me changed and his attitude towards me and granted me his favours. All this left Hindus flabbergasted.

This Family has its Worth in Precious Gems

Similar incidents I often heard from the mouth of Sahib Zada Hassan Makhdoom, he often said that elders of his family had high regard and connection with Chughtai family. Just as Spirituality and transfer of Khilafat runs in our family, generation after generations, similarly in this family spirituality and khilafat runs generation after generation. They do not disclose all this publicly and nor does public know about this family. They have hidden themselves under the profession of a low kind. The worth of this family is more than the precious stones.

He was writer for some other famous daily newspapers and magazines.

He wrote, “One day I went to visit the Nawab in my journalistic pursuits, though the partition had happened, and the states did not exist anymore but the Nawab being a Nawab, still had great influence and power in the area. I was one of those people who Nawab liked a lot and had the privilege of going to all the department of Sadiq Garh Palace without any restrictions.

in the journalism world that would oblige by writing in the favour of Nawab in the newspapers of Delhi, Calcutta and London. Due to this I found Nawab to be very lenient towards me in his favours. In his palace I met Lala Mushtaq Baloch, who was the in charge of Nawab’s Carriages.

Basically, Lala Mushtaq Baloch was from Palan Pur, near Dera Nawab City. Once I asked him if he knew of a Wali or Pious Person nearby.

He said, “Yes, Ahmad Pur Shurkia, Mohalla Noor Shah Bukhari, behind the Chabotra Masjid lives a family. Their elders were great Wali, Darwaish and Qutab. The current Darwaish is also a great spiritual person and is ‘Mustajab ud Dawat” (meaning whatever he prays for Allah does not rejects it and all his prayers are accepted). He told me such supernatural incidents relating to this Darwaish that I wanted to meet him in person. I asked Lala Mushtaq what he does for a living.

Merchant, Agriculturist, Well to Do Family from Generations

Lala Mushtaq told him that this family is Agriculturalists, Merchants and have wealth in their family from generations. Since Nawab Sahib appointed them in charge, which they are still fulfilling this responsibility along with their farming and business. Though their family genealogy is very strong, their ancestors are from Ghazni, Afghanistan and they migrated from their and choose Bahawalpur as their last abode.

They are not “Chughtai” but “Choqa Zai”

w

As per Lala Mushtaq, they are not Chughtai but Choqa Zai. Their elders in Ghazni are those with whose prayers and Duas Mahmood Gazni conquered Sub Continent, and from where Data Ganj Bakhsh came to Lahore. Actually, this family got from there ‘Choqa Waliat’, Choqa Rohaniyat’ and Choqa Khilafat. Similar other honors and achievements that they possessed was told by Lala Mushtaq, after listening to all this made up my mind to visit this Darwaish. I asked their address and decided to go visit him.

On parting Lala Mushtaq told me some of his personal experiences. Whenever I have a difficulty, I go and find him in this masjid and have him pray for me and my problem is solved, he sometimes gives me a word to recite. He always says two Salat, Zahoor and Assar in Jamia Masjid in Chowk Bazar in Ahmad Pur Shurkia and the rest of the Salat in the Masjid close to his house, Mohalla Noor Shah Bukhari. This masjid was built by his elders so he says the Fajr, Maghrib and Esha Salat in his ancestral Masjid.

Go Never Leave the Salat, Allah will bless you!!

I went in search of him, I found him sitting at his shop. I explained to him my problems, he heard all my problems with great patience. He had a certain intensity in his eyes, he was very tall and strong body, broad face with beautiful fair complexion, and he truly looked like a Kabuli Pathan.

After patiently and quietly listening to all my problems and difficulties, he raised his hands in Dua and prayed for a long time, he had tears in his eyes while he was praying. He told me to go and never leave the Salat and Allah SWT will bless me and all my problems will be solved Insha’Allah.

I still remember this incident the same way and I am convinced of acceptance of his Dua’s by Allah SWT.

Months After his Burial, his Grave still Smelled of a Nice

This happened in those days, when I was associated with writing, and used to write regularly, I was always on the lookout for a spiritual personality, and often used to visit different personalities, but since I found him I stopped going to any of the other spiritual personalities.

And till the end in 1960’ I had developed a strong relation with him. I had personally observed his miracles and wonders which were out of the ordinary. I was in the State of Bahawalpur at the time of his demise. I attended his funeral and went for burial to his ancestral graveyard, “Arayan Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Wala”. At the time of burial his grave smelled of a very nice fragrance, I thought maybe someone poured a perfume in the grave. But the gravedigger later told me that as soon as he started to dig his grave the same smell radiated from the site of the grave and the deeper he digged the more smell he felt. Till by the time the grave was ready his whole body, his spade and his clothes all smelled of that nice smell. Months after the burial the site of his grave radiated the same smell. Even today whenever I have problem I go to his grave, sit there and ask Allah SWT with reference to him and my difficulties are solved. (This could be his imagination or experience in reality we all ask Allah SWT for the solution to our problems and He alone can provide the solutions to all our problems, Insha’Allah)

Saved Hindu Family from Terrorists and safely escorted to the Railway Station

At the time of partition in 1947’ there lived a big population of Hindus in the south of Mohalla Noor Shah Bukhari, in the same houses later the migrants came to live. Some terrorists were harassing these Hindu families and taking away their belongings. Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA was totally against this, since he believed in humanity and preached the same, he stopped these people from hurting the innocent. Nearby lived a Hindu by the name of Bhogi Ram, he was very rich and did business of selling cloth, he had a shop in the Chabotra Bazar by the name of Delhi Cloth. Few Terrorists robbed his shop and then put it on fire. He took refuge in his house and send a message to my grandfather that I have nothing left with me, now these people have their eyes on my daughters and if anything happened to me then I would not be able to tolerate that.

My grandfather went to his house, asked him to make sacs of his belonging, then put those sacs on his own head (though he was quite old at that time, but the pain of humanity was always in his heart) took Hindu and his family to the railway station. The tourists followed them knowing that these sacs contained Hindus’ precious belonging like jewelry and diamonds. But when they saw my grandfather they got scared due to his attitude and high nobility and status. But they continue to follow them secretly. Grand father took them safely to Railway Station and made a circle with his cane around them read something and blow it over the whole family. He told them to wait for the train there and Insha’Allah nothing will happen to him and his family and will reach his destination in safety. He further told him that Insha’Allah a big house, respect and honor and great wealth is waiting for him there, Insha’Allah. The Hindu family was convinced and after that grandfather left. The terrorists could not do anything, later the terrorists told many people that

We got a huge house and wealth and we established a very successful business of cloth the same way we used to have before.” The special thing that he wrote in this letter was that here we accepted Islam, we are very thank full to you. We wish we had accepted Islam before, and they thanked grandfather again and again and wrote repeatedly about the circle, (it is also known as ‘Hassar’) around them and the Islamic Wazaif.

Wali Allah Ahad was the brother of Allama Rehmat Allah Arshad and was a very experienced Journalist. He issued his own newspaper by the name of ‘Kainat’ in 1946’. This incident was also published in ‘Kainat’. One of my very good associates, Professor Azhar Javed Sindhu send me a reference about my family from London, England which I did not have before this. He wrote in his letter that he did not know before about your family. I went to London for PhD which I could not complete, but I had chance of going to India Office Library many times since my topic of research was related to Central Asia. I was looking for material on my topic, but I don’t know why I started looking for material on the personalities. I found an Urdu Akhbar from Delhi, by the name of ‘Afaq’ 1938’. In this I found an article shocked me, the title of the article was ‘A recluse or a Wali’. In this article was written that my name is Krishan Das and due to my business, I get to travel to different states. My business is of gold embroidery, knows as ‘zari’, on the dresses, which are mostly worn by the rich ladies or the ladies of big Nawabs and Rajas’.

I travelled to State of Bhagalpur for business. There one of my traders lived in the Shahi Bazar of Bahawalpur. I stayed the night with him as he received me in the night from the Railway Station.

I could not sleep well during the night, as I was very tired and got up very late the next morning.

According to my usual morning routine of worship I had breakfast. In breakfast I was given a special dish, which looked like it was made of grinded wheat and ghee and nuts. It was very delicious I asked him how he got it. He told me that his friend who lives in Ahmad Pur Shurkia got it for him and this friend is a Muslim, he is a big Guru and Maharaj of the Muslims (the words used by Hindus for great religious personalities). He told his name as Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, he lives in Ahmad Pur Shurkia and Nawab himself visits him for prayers and Duas and the Nawabs respect him and give him great honor.

My host said to me that he wishes to be a Muslim too, but I am not going to abandon my religion.

I took my mare and went to his village, when I reached there, I came to know that his wife was tuberculosis patient and was in the last stage of this disease. He had taken her to every physician for treatment and now he had given up as no one could cure her. (In those days tuberculosis was widely spread virus and everywhere there were TB hospitals).

I asked him, did you go to this personality in Ahmad Pur Shurkia, lot of people go to him for all kinds of ailments and he blows over them or gives them to recite some words and sometimes gives an ambulant to put around the neck. He said he went to lot of places but did not get any benefit. I told him not to lose hope, go to that person and his wife will get well soon and I left. He met me after few months and brought gifts for me and was very happy. He said that baba was amazing Guru and great Maharaj, he asked my wife’s name and blow over water and oil and gave me an ambulant to put around the neck and said use this oil and water and she will be fine. Since then I am very happy man. My wife used those things and now she is well, Tuberculosis left her body and now she takes care of the whole house and I am so grateful to that amazing personality (Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA) by whose wonder my wife was cured.

Who does not know ‘Imam ul Hind, Abu Kalam Azad’? His books, Political literature, talks and intellect was all very well known. A book was published on his daily activities by the name of ‘Tuzkira Abu al Kalam’ (meaning talks about of acknowledgment of Abu Kalam Azad). I just happened to get hold of this book in a library, because I am fond of reading, I just glanced at some contents of this book but stopped as soon as I saw mention of Bahawalpur in this book.

The editor of this book was Zahoor Ahmad Waqar, who was inhabitant of Gujranwala. He worked a while along with Mir Shakil ur Rahman, who was owner of Daily newspaper Jang. Zahoor Ahmad could not stay with him for long and left him and became head of a printing press and wrote columns in a very well-known old newspaper, ‘Partab’. Then he started collecting the articles, tales and different incidents about Abu ul Kala Azad, which were printed anywhere in the print world or people knew about him and told Zahoor Ahmad. He compiled all these incidents of his Abu Kalam Azad and started writing about it.

We had a long sitting with him, and talked about the country’s politics, congress, Khilafat movement, Banday Matrum, and Muslim League. I was surprised that he was very well educated and very well read and had a very strong insight on control over all the topics.

In 1950’ Maulana Muhammad Ali Darwaish, who was a journalist and editor of ‘Al Imam’ and author of ‘Tarikh Riasat Bahawalpur’, started a weekly magazine ‘Al Imam’, for the Movement of Save the Mosques. It was in his nature that he would meet those personalities more who had built mosques or talked about the rights of mosques. He was interested in those places where there was masjid in the past and now there were temple or where there is masjid but due to more Hindu population those masjids are deserted. In fact, he started this magazine for these reasons and ‘Al Imam’ was first published in March 1952’.

“Whenever I travelled or worked for the wellbeing of a masjid, very few people joined me on this journey. I was always upset that people do respect the masjid but hardly ever care about its wellbeing and on the other hand gave it an appearance of racism and division among difference in religions.” He further wrote, “When I met this personality in Ahmed Pur Shurkia by the name of Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, in the Jamia Masjid after the Asr Salat. I heard him talking about this topic and I prayed that he should keep on talking so that I could keep on listening to him. His voice and the style of talking was so pleasing to the ears. He had so much love and respect for the Masjid in his heart. I kept on asking him to say more, I could feel that his heart was very clean and full of spirituality.

I asked him that when I came here, people told me this Masjid has lot of Jinn, have you ever felt their presence. He smiled and said, “I did not feel but acknowledge their presence, and in fact they are my friends. Sometimes they request me to spend the night in the Masjid. Sometimes I do not go home and stay the night in the Masjid.” I do not know how it came into my mind and I asked him this question, “Haji Sahib, can you show me these Jinn”. He said, “Why not, they are my friends they will appear in whatever shape you prefer”. I said, “Can they appear in the shape of a docile Dog”. He said, it is a Masjid! So, I asked if they can appear in the shape of a cats, he said, “Yes”. As soon as he agreed I saw a huge number of cats of all colours jumping inside the masjid from a window in the North of the Masjid. They were all meowing, some sat on his lap and some on his legs. He started patting them and talking to them, telling them about me, that I was a journalist friend, he cares about the safety of the Masjid and has great love and respect of the Masjid that is why I like him. This is my first meeting with him. He insisted that I arrange a meeting with Jinn, since he could not bear to see you in your actual shape and form, he wished that you come in the shape of cats so that he can meet you.

After a while he asked the cats that they can go now, the cats started going back from the same window, and there were about twenty-eight to thirty cats. Apparently, they were cats and I was shivering with fear from the inside, but Haji Sahib had no such feelings, he had not fear or uneasiness. I asked him to pray for me, he raised his hands for Dua, I requested him that after the Dua when he wipe the hands over his face, he should wipe the same hands over my face as well. He did the same as soon as his hands touched my face, I felt a very please smell coming from his hands, I hold his hand and smelled it again and asked him what perfume he put on. He replied very innocently, I did not put on any perfume. I asked him what this smell on his hands is, he told me, “In the Masjid lives this Jinn, he is a century old he learned the Quran and learned some books of Hadith from me and call me ‘Ustad Ji’ (Teacher or Sheikh). Once he came to me and said, ‘Ustad Ji, I brought this perfume, I like it a lot and often use it, please you use it too.

This is a special perfume of Jinn and if you put on any part of your body, the smell of this perfume will never go away and stay on that part of the body your whole life. I thought why not put it on my hands, this way whenever I raise my hands for Dua, Allah’s mercy will be inclined towards me and when I wipe the hands over my face I can smell its perfume.

It was written in the book that Dera Nawab was in fact considered to be real Capital of the State and later Bahawalpur then Dera Nawab then Ahmad Pur Shurkia. In the later pages was mentioned the different cultures, traditions and customs and different personalities of the state of Bahawalpur. He folded one page of this book and this was page # 42, it was written on this page: “The Chughtai Family of Ahmad Pur Shurkia”. In this regard the author had written, this family originally came from Gazni and stayed in Uch Shareef for some time and then they shifted to Ahmad Pur Shurkia, Mohalla Noor Shah Bukhari and settled here permanently. The original profession of this family was Agriculture, Business and herbal Medicine. In Gazni this family had already received Nisbet and Abayays from great Spiritual leaders and known Sufi and Aulia Allah.

This family was known for their devotion to religion and piousness and charity.

.u bq

During eighteenth century, Nawab of Bahawalpur recognized these qualities in their elders and gave them the duties to teach the people of low profession about the principles of Islam. To teach the common people about the Halal ways of life, how to perform Wudu and how to stay in the state of cleanliness and refrain from Haram. Their elders used to teach the people of low professions all these things, though they were not Chughtai but ‘Choqa Zai’, meaning they were the people who due to their spirituality, devotion to the religion and their dignity and respect had received the Choqas (Spiritual Robes and Abayas) from the great Sufis and Aulia Allah of that time.

These centuries old established family is continuing with their legacy of spreading knowledge and practicality of Deen among the common people. The incidents of acceptance of their duas and their miracles are very well known by the people of the land.

The Acknowledgement of some of the Miracles Mentioned in this Book

i.o

Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA was never interested in taking any kind of gifts (hadia) whether it could be money, or goods or gift of any valuable nature. Once Nawab Bahawal Khan’s minister Sardar Kamal Khan Langa, gave a pouch of silver coins to his servant and bet with him that if he could make Haji Sahib RA accept this pouch, the servant will get hundred silver coins.

The prize was a big amount and the servant could not resist it, so he agreed. This servant thought of a plan to trick the Sufi Darwaish to accept the pouch full of silver coins. He went to see Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA and disguised himself as a destitute poor guy who was very much in need of help. He praised Haji Sahib, saying that you are a generous person and always help the poor and needy, and narrated few incidents where Haji Sahib had helped the other poor people.

.u bq

These are Not Silver Coins but Chips After a while when the servant noticed that Haji Sahib was now soft towards him, he said, “I have brought you a gift (Hadia) with great hesitation and I am afraid that you might not accept it. I will be an honour for me if you please accept it, it’s a pouch of silver coins”. Haji Sahib RA put his hand on the pouch of coins and said, “These are not silver coins these are chips (brick pebbles), you’re not aware of this but the minister played a joke with you, go and return the pouch to the minister. Ask the minister that should he give the Darwaish Silver coins or chips?”

w

w

The servant went back with great astonishment and shock, when he reached the minister, he narrated the whole incident to the minister. The minister opened the pouch and it was full of chips instead of silver coins. The minister got very angry that his servants are playing a prank on him. He was very upset that his servants caused him great embarrassment and called all his servants who also were very sacred and did not know what to say, as they were sure that they filled the pouch with silver coins. He then filled it again with silver coins and put a black seal on the pouch and said to the servants, “Now go again and present this pouch to the Haji Sahib RA”.

The servants once again presented the pouch full of silver coins to Haji Sahib RA, Haji Sahib RA again put his hand on the pouch and said, “These are not silver coins, these are all chips”, the servant said, “Sir! He filled it with silver coins in front of me”. When he opened the pouch, he was surprised to find that they were in fact chips. He picked up the pouch and left and went back to the minister and told him the whole story. The minister understood that Hajib Sahib RA, by the Grace of Allah Almighty had reached a level of spirituality where any silver, gold or diamonds had no value for him and in front of him they were no more then chips. The minister personally came to Haji Sahib RA and apologized and asked for forgiveness. This incident was reported to Nawab Bahawal who was the Nawab of Bahawalpur at that time. After that Nawab Sahib used to often visit Haji Sahib to show his respects for the Darwaish.

Would Scream so Loud that the Pregnant ladies would

lose their Pregnancy

w

Haji Sahib RA had so much love and respect of Allah SWT in his heart that at night when he used to do Zikr in the dark of night, he would sometimes scream so loudly that the pregnant ladies would lose their pregnancies. This happened lots of time and later he would be sorry and regretful, he would apologize to the people for their great loss. But he could not control himself and it would happen again, the love of Allah SWT and Nabi Pak SAW was burning like a fire instead him and he had no control over it.

w

Would Not Eat anything for Eleven Days

w

Sometimes Haji Sahib RA would not eat anything for three days, seven days or even Eleven days.

He would say prayers all night and would fast in the morning and would open the fast with a pinch of salt and a date and similarly he would also start the fast with a pinch of salt and a date.

He used to say, “When ever I feel hungry or thirsty, I start reciting Darood Pak and all my hunger and thirst vanishes”.

Mysteriously the Food Appeared!

This incident happened when Haji Sahib RA went for Hajj on a Ship. The ship anchored on the coast of Eden (South Arabia). It was night time and there was no food available. All passengers were very tired and Hungary, they all collected their luggage and left the ship. Haji Sahib RA did not pay much attention to his belongings but went to the shore and spread his Shawl on the sand and after praying two Rakat Nawafl raised his hands in Dua, he asked Allah SWT for a long time.

After a while people saw a man coming towards Haji Sahib, he had a big pot of food on his head and there were servants with him carrying Roti and other food items. They placed all the food in front of Haji Sahib RA, who thanked the hosts. The host replied that he was appointed to bring food for him and his fellow passengers. It was very well-cooked delicious food, Haji Sahib RA shared it with all the passengers and offered the food first to the ladies and children and then he offered it to the men and he ate himself as well. Their was so much food that everyone eats to their full some people took the second helping as well, but even then there was lot of food left.

Everyone Ate the Food and Still there was lots Left!

Everyone ate so much food, even then there was left over, which the hosts took back. Some one asked, “Hazrat! Who were these people”. He replied, “They were Rijjal ul Ghaib, the Abdals of Makkah, they were our friends, they knew we were coming, Allah SWT had informed them, so they brought the food”.

Through out this journey similar incidents were witnessed by the people who accompanied Haji Sahib RA and they saw his miracles and strange happenings and his love for Allah SWT. Haji Sahib went for Hajj in 1921. (Reference: Family memoir #13; # 21; #38; # 4; # 27)

Another Miracle of Haji Sahib during that Hajj was witnessed. A Baddu (Native of Arabian Desert) was showing the trick to the public in the market place and public was giving him money. This guy showed them a trick that he heated an iron rod and when it was so hot that it turned red, he holds it with his hand, he had already dipped his hand in a potion before holding the rod, therefore his hands did not burn at all. Haji Sahib was also watching these tricks. He said to this magician, “This is no trick, I will get both your hands washed with soap and then you hold the burning hot iron and I will hold it too.” But then said, “Wait, I don’t want to give you any pain as your hands will definitely get burned”. Haji Sahib recited ‘Bismillah AR Rahman AR Raheem’ and took hold of the burning red hot iron and with both his hands and bend the iron and put it back on the fire, and said, “The heart that is burning with the love of Rasool Allah SAW and is on fire the love of Allah SWT, that heart becomes itself fire and no worldly fire can harm it’s owner”.

Put Finger on the Heart and He Fainted!

w

A person came to see Haji Sahib and asked him, “Hazrat, you are a very high scholar and Wali Allah, please make me fluent in the lessons of Silsila Qadria”. Haji Sahib was sitting in the Masjid at that time, and with great passion and full attention with the name of Allah, Haji Sahib put his finger on this man’s heart, as soon as he touched his heart with his finger, this man fainted and went into a state of fit for quite some time. When he regained conscious, he had turned into a Majzoob and all his life stayed a Majzoob. Later, Hazrat often used to say, that time I was sitting in a different spiritual state of mind and paid so much attention to this man which was more then he could handle, he lost all conscious of the world and the hereafter become open for him.

The One Who Used to Verbally Abuse Great Grand

There was a man who used to insult Hazrat Sahib and used foul and profane language when ever he saw Haji Sahib RA. He used to spit towards Haji Sahib and would wrongly accuse him of unacceptable behaviour. Haji Sahib RA had great patience and would often not pay attention and used to ignore him and often forgive him for his bad behaviour. It was the holy month of Ramadan, since Haji Sahib had a very good height and was very tall had healthy man and had Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

strong and loud voice, Haji Sahib used to wake up people in the early morning hours for Saheri (Zahoor). God knows what came to the mind of this wretched miserable man that at night when it was dark and hardly anyone out at the time when Haji Sahib was in the streets waking up people for Zahoor, he would come out in the street and would start using the foul language against Haji Sahib RA. One night Haji Sahib became so annoyed with him that all of a sudden with great anger said to this man, “You blind man, don’t you see anyone else, am I the only one who you can see, go and remember Allah SWT”.

i.o

That was the first and last time that Haji Sahib spoke anything to this him, this man went home and slept, next morning when he woke up, he had turned blind. For the rest of his life as long as he lived, he was a blind man, many times he came to Haji Sahib and repented and asked for forgiveness. Haji Sahib told him, “I don’t know what state of mind I was that day that I said those words, now I pray for you but my prayers are not accepted in your favour and it can’t be undone what is done”.

Later, Haji Sahib RA said, “This trait of blessing some one or cursing someone, will stay in my family for my future generatioins forever. If anyone of my future generations make a Dua in favour of some one, it will stay with that person or family for ever and if someone from my future generations cursed some one will that will also stay with that person or family for every”.(Reference: Book, ‘History Dera Nawab’, Author Nawazish Ali Saharan Puri, Page # 42 to 63).

Tragic Story of Nawab of Khair Pur Merass

Newspaper ‘Rafique ul Hind’ was published in 1899 in large quantities, its files are still available in the different libraries. Its editor Maulvi Mehram Ali Chishti, who was a lawyer, poet, writer and a scholar, wrote in his newspaper ‘Rafique ul Hind’ of July 1899, “I was invited to the Vice Roy Convention of the Nawabs, this convention used to be held in Delhi every year in honour of Nawabs of India to show them respect and honor. In this convention I met the Nawab of Merass, I do not remember his name, we used to call him, ‘Saii Talpur’. He was very handsome and had a great personality. Being a reporter and a writer I asked him lot of questions. I interviewed about six different Nawabs in this convention. During the conversation the Nawab of Merass gave me an indication that someone was guiding him and was behind all his great personality. He was repeatedly heard saying, ‘Due to my lord; Due to the Dua of my lord’ I guessed that there is some secret to this. I asked him, who is he referring to as his Lord. He replied, ‘My Lord is my Peer O Murshid, he lives in Bahawalpur in the town of Ahmad Pur Shurkia and his name is Hazrat Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA. I call him Saii Wali Muhammad RA.” Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

He meant the father of Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai RA, and his eyes were full of tears and he said, “This relates to an incident that happened about a year and half ago.

“In hiding I would go from place to place. Once I went to an Inn I met a traveller, he looked at me and from my appearance he suspected that I was in trouble. He told me not to waste time and go straight to Ahmad Pur Shurkia, Mohalla Noor Shah Bukhari, there lives a Darwaish. His name is Haji Wali Muhammad Chughtai RA, go and sit in his feet. He is very blessed person and has very pious personality. I had no idea what power or attraction made me pack my belongings and went on my journey to search for this Darwaish. After travelling for a while, I arrived at the place of Allah’s Wali. I introduced myself to him, that I was the Nawab of Merass and have come to me due to my personal problems. Haji Sahib gave me great honor and respect, made me stay in a special room and offered excellent food.”

Such Humbleness and so Much Divinity and Spirituality

The Nawab further told me, “I stayed with him for three weeks. I saw so much Divinity and spirituality and at the same time, so much kindness and humbleness which I had seen in very few people. I had seen lot of saints and Spiritual personalities but never seen some one like him. He was not showing what he really was, he had hidden his true self and Waliat in disguise. Those three weeks were very special for my life, Hazrat Sahib showed me so much love and affection and made a lot of Dua for me.”

“It was the Command of Darwaish, and what ever Qalandar says it is always true.

When I reached my area, I got to know that two days ago, just the same time as my Peer O murshid was talking to me, the Nawab who took the throne from me was killed by his own son and then his son was killed by Nawab’s security guards and now they were all killed. Right now their was no owner of the throne and the public was remembering the previous Nawab which was I. That was the moment when I announced my self as the Nawab and gathered the army and took all that was rightfully mine. After that time when ever I have any problem I send a messenger to Hazrat Sahib or I myself present myself to him. Hazrat Sahib prays for me, gives me either a Taweez or tell me to recite something and problems and difficulties are solved”.

Nawab Muhammad Bahawal Khan Salus was the sixth Nawab of state of Bahawalpur. He was born in 1797’, lived for fifty-five years, remained in power for twenty-eight years and died in 1852’. In his times, one of the known personalities that has family relations and Nisbet with my family was Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA. After this name, my respected father named one of his orchards, ‘Gulistan a Huq’. This name is still in all the legal documents. Nawab Bahawal had special love and regard for Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai and had given him lot of perks and facilities, due to his generosity and kindness. We find reference of this in ‘Madarass Gazetteer’. The compilation of the Gazetteer was done by two British men, one of them was Sir Williamson.

He also started a weekly newspaper by the name of ‘Madarass Gazetteer’. The other man who worked on ‘Madarass Gazetteer’ was by the name of Mister Humphreys. He also started a weekly newspaper by the name of Indian Herald. This newspaper became very popular and famous.

‘Madarass Gazetteer’ wrote in detail about the love and affection that these two personalities shared with each other. Sir Williamson wrote in ‘Madarass Gazetteer’, that when he went to meet Nawab Bahawal Khan, he noticed that Nawab owned expensive palaces, forts, horses an horse carriages. During this meeting he was introduced to the notables in his court and among them one personality of Hazrat Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA. Williamson writes that he was also told about Hazrat Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA by Wazir Ali khan Sanjrani a very close associate of the Nawab Bahawal Khan.

Sir Williamson writes, “When I reached there, I witnessed an atmosphere of respect and honor and there was a certain silence, I felt that people had lots of respect and regard for this personality. I went ahead and sat down with the rest of the people. Since I was a white British guy people looked at me with hostility but soon changed their attitude when they felt that Haji Sahib made a special spot for me to sit and had laid down a special carpet for me to sit on, he offered me special rice and milk pudding and dates. I can never forget the taste and smell of that pudding, it was very special. In my childhood when I was in England I ate such deserts in the school, but this one had a unique taste to it. I felt his eyes piercing through my being, I got scared that if he kept looking at me like that I might turn into a Muslim from a Christian. Because the things he gave me to eat and what I drank from his eyes, no other person could do it. He was not an ordinary man.”

In this magazine detail is written about Maulvi Abdul Raheem Gujrati, about his religious and social services for the community are mentioned. So, Williamson asked Maulvi Sahib about the meaning of ‘Khatima Bil Khair’. Maulvi Sahib explained to me the whole system of Islam as how it means that your end will be good, and you will go to heaven. I was so surprised that there are such people who worry so much about Non-Muslims that they have a good ending and here after is good for them as well. (Reference: ‘Madarass Gazetteer’ 1863’)

This reference was published in ‘Madarass Gazetteer’ in 1863’. The services of Haji Abdul Huq were way more then what were published in the ‘Madarass Gazetteer’, we have a reference in “Maktaba ul Aloom” which was simultaneously published from Delhi as well as Madarass. It was basically a printing house run by Master Ram Chund. The person who had originally started “Maktaba ul Aloom” was Mufti Sadar ud Din Khan Buhadar. He also was awarded Medal of Nuqarai. After the death of Mufti Sahib, Master Ram Chund bought the Maktaba ul Aloom and then published a magazine by the name of Maktaba ul Aloom. Then he started a new magazine by the name of ‘Fawaed e Nazreen’, he was the owner and editor of this magazine. He started this magazine to introduce such personalities whom were not much discussed. For this purpose, he would always print a special edition. (Reference: Fawaed e Nazreen, Maktaba ul Aloom, Delhi, Madarass)

The special things that Master Ram Chund wrote about Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA were that he did not pay any special attention to any kings and had no kind of greed from the Nawab. He was a very self less person who did not have eyes on any kind of money or rank from the Nawab or any one in his palace. He was a very rich man from his ancestors and had come from land of Afghanistan where the people had to travel long distances in order to get Waliat.

In the detailed article that he wrote about Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA, he wrote about his spiruality and miracles and his religious aptitude. He wrote one incident in detail about Haji Sahib, in which he writes that once, Haji Sahib said about a government servant that this person will die tonight. When his family heard this, they became very worried and started crying, they asked Hazrat Sahib, “What should we do”. Hazrat sahib said, “Give charity equal to his body wait”, in the morning the same guy came and said Namaz with Hazrat Sahib.

What ever Hazrat Sahib Would Say, it would Happen!

People sitting in Hazrat Sahib’s company heard what Hazrat Sahib had said about that man, “This man will die tonight”. Hazrat Sahib had special connection with Allah SWT, his ranks were very high with Allah SWT, which few other people would have. He himself said many times, “Sometimes I close my eyes and Allah SWT shows me things that ordinary men would not see, I do not disclose these things in public as people do not understand. Due to lack of knowledge and understanding they would make fun of Hazrat Sahib, this attitude created lot of problems for these people who did not understand Hazrat Sahib and Allah SWT does not like who ever makes Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Hazrat Sahib heard all the questions of the people and after lot of deliberations at last send one of the guys to that government servants house and asked him to bring that man along with something that was under the mat where that man slept, and tell that thing that Hazrat Sahib is calling him. Two servants of Hazrat Sahib went to this man’s house and when they picked up the mat they saw a very big dragon sitting under the mat. He had digged a big hole in the earth under the mat, this hole was very deep and wide and had a small opening on the top. He was told that Hazrat Sahib and asked for him, he started crawling and reached Hazrat Sahib and put his head on Hazrat Sahib’s prayer mat at the place of Sajida. Hazrat Sahib put his hand on the head of the dragon and said, “It was written that you will be the cause of this man’s death, but the amount of charity given by is family was accepted by Allah SWT and HE extended his life for another fifteen years. Eventually after fifteen years, just as Hazrat Sahib had said, this man was watering his land, when he was stung by the dragon and died at the spot, though Hazrat Sahib had told his family to keep on giving charity, but they ignored his advice and did not keep the regard of Allah’s Wali.

Similar incidents are related to Hazrat Esa PMUH. Birds came to Hazrat Esa PMUH and complained that there is this man who takes away our hatchling (chicks or baby birds) from our nests. Hazrat Esa PMUH called him and told him not to do it in future. He agreed in front of Hazrat Esa PMUH but did no leave his habit of stealing the chicks from their nests. The birds came back again to Hazrat Esa PMUH and complained about this man. This time Hazrat Esa PMUH said to the birds if this time he steals your hatchlings he will die and will suffer gratly. But next time when he stole the hatchling’s nothing happened to him and he came down the tree without even a scratch. Birds came back to Hazrat Esa PMUH and told Hazrat Esa PMUH, that nothing has happened to this person, but he has stolen our babies again. Hazrat Esa PMUH contacted the heavens and was told by Allah SWT, I had given my decision and it was to happen the same way as you had said, but something came between him and his death. That thing was his charity.

Allah SWT said to Hazrat Esa PMUH, this person is feeding the poor and needy in my name, I do not send any calamity on even the pharaohs while their doors were open to the poor and needy, how could I send the misfortune on this guy.

Master Ram Chand mention another miracle of Hazrat Sahib in his magazine, ‘Fawaed e Nazreen’, he wrote in his special edition that Hazrat Sahib had a pet cat and her name was ‘Hira’. Hazrat Sahib loved this cat very much and fed her very special food. One of Hazrat Sahib’s servant did not like the cat, he wanted to eat the good food himself, though Hazrat Sahib used to give him even better food then the cat. But maybe the servant was miser and jealous in nature and wanted to eat the food which was given to the cat.

The Servant Put the Cat in a Sack an gave it away!

The servant was very jealous of the cat and disliked it. Once few guests came and they showed great affection towards the cat, as it was Hazrat Sahib’s favourite pet. The servant saw that these people liked the cat, he asked them if they would like to have the cat, they were very surprised and said, “Sure, why not, we will love to have Hazrat Sahib’s cat if possible”. They did not know that this servant was jealous of the cat and wanted to get rid of her. He put her in a sack and gave her to these guests. They had come from inner Sindh and went back via train.

In the evening Hazrat Sahib asked about the cat, the servant said, “it must be here somewhere, let me look for her”, and started to look for it, he pretended to be looking for quite some time, until it was morning and cat was no where to be found.

The famous Taweez of Hazrat Abdul Huq Chughtai RA written by his hands!

Hazrat Sahib was worried about the cat, but then he had a feeling that this servant did not like the cat, maybe he has done something to it. Hazrat Sahib wrote a Taweez and that Taweez of Hazrat Sahib was very well known and successful in finding the lost things. Hazrat Sahib wrote the Taweez of ‘Ya Jamiu’. He wrote ‘Ya Jamiu’ seventy times as follows and put fragrance on it and tied it to a tree. Then He wrote another Taweez and wrote, ‘Ya Jamiu’ nineteen times and wrote the name of this servant and placed the Taweez under a heavy thing.

After a little while the servant started feeling unwell, he came to Hazrat Sahib and asked for Dua, Hazrat Sahib did not pay attention and kept quiet. Now the servant was feeling really sick, it felt like he was going to have a heart attack. He was in so much discomfort that he started to having fits.

The Cat Came Back!

rg

After only three days, one morning Hazrat Sahib heard the cat’s meow! meow! He called the cats name, Hira, the cat came near Hazrat Sahib, he patted her and felt that she was hungry and distraught. He fed with milk and gave a meat. It was very surprising that it had the same Taweez around neck the one that Hazrat Sahib had tied around the tree. He took the Taweez from around her neck opened it and saw that it was the same Taweez, he quietly put it away. Now the condition of the servant was deteriorating every day and was getting worse.

ar

i.o

When he saw that the cat came back and it has the same Taweez around her neck the one that Hazrat Sahib had hung on the tree in front of him, he fell at Hazrat Sahib’s feet and asked for forgiveness for all his misdeeds. Eventually Hazrat Sahib forgave him and told him that under a certain stone there was a Taweez and he should bring it out and dip in the water and then drink that water and afterwards should bury the paper in a clean place.

Strange Outcome of Hazrat Sahib’s Taweez!

.u bq

After that incedent the servant made ‘Toba’ in such a way that he became one of the Khadmeen of Hazrat Sahib, he used to be a servant but now he was a Khadim. The difference between a Khadim and servant is that a servant serves for money as he gets paid with money, the Khadim serves too, but selflessly with no greed of money, he does with devotion and love for the Master whom he serves. Once he became a Khadim, he was so true in his conviction that now Hazrat Sahib give him the duty of writing the same Taweez for who ever needed it. (Reference: Fawaed e Nazreen, Number twenty-three, Delhi, Madarass)

Strange Outcome of Taweez and Extraordinary Benefits!

w

w

There are strange benefits of Taweez of ‘Ya Jamiu’ which has been mentioned previously, it is very beneficial for those who have issues and are looking for solutions for, marriage, the difference between husband and wife, or if a child or a servant has run away from home, or any type of dispute between people. Hazrat Sahib would write three Taweez as a solution for all these problems.

One Taweez was to wear around the neck or arm, second for dipping in a glass of water and drinking it, and third one was to hang with a tree. If you can’t make the person in question, drink the Taweez, then bring him in your imagination and drink it yourself, and same way if that person in question can’t wear it, then imagine of him and thinking of him you can wear it yourself, and experience the same benefits as if that person was wearing it. This was a very extraordinary Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Taweez of Hazrat Sahib. I (Sheik ul Wazaif) has the ‘Ijaza’ of this Taweez from my family legacy and I forward this ‘Ijaza’ to all the readers to use it for Legitimate reasons.

He further wrote in the special number that Hazrat Sahib used to be absent from the normal world and would disappear in a world full of Noor and Tajaliat of Allah SWT. In this state if he heard a sound, he would refer it to be coming from Allah SWT and if he felt some thing, he referred it to Allah SWT as well. Close to his death, he already told the people who were close to him the time, date and place of his death and told them where to bury him. When Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA died; it was the same time, date and place that he had already told his close associates and made a Dua, “Ya Allah, apart from my close family members don’t give the knowledge of the location of my grave to anyone else”.

An Elder with lots of Karamat and Knowledge!

Hazrat Sahib belonged to the class of very special Akabareen and Aulia Allah. He had lots of Karamat’s (miracles) and was very knowledgeable. He taught spirituality to people, he used to get lots of monetary and valuable gifts, but he would sternly refuse all these gifts. During the Zikr of Allah, he used to become so emotional that he would stand up and called the name of Allah SWT with such condition that people sitting close by would faint with the sound of his voice.

It was written in this that Hazrat Sahib had so much Waliat that he distributed it among others as well.

It is written that once, it was not raining, people came to see Hazrat Sahib and asked him to say Dua so that Allah SWT send down rain. Hazrat Sahib told them to recite Fifth Kalma and at the same time asked all the people in his company to start reciting the fifth Kalma in congregation and recited himself along with all the gathering in loud voice. While reciting fifth Kalma Hazrat went into a state of trans, during this state he prayed so to Allah Almighty for rain that during his Dua, it started to rain. The rain poured so much that it lasted for six days.

Recited Fifth Kalma to End the Rain Storm!

The rain lasted for six days and now it was causing destruction for the public. People were forced to come back to Hazrat Sahib and ask him to pray again so that the rain can end, they said, “We can’t afford to have any more rain, we have clay houses and they are weak, now our houses have started to dismantle due to heavy rains”. Hazrat Sahib started reciting the fifth Kalma again and prayed to Allah SWT, “Ya Allah, we are small people, You are all Mighty You gave us more then our needs, we are thankful that You accepted our Dua and send down rain, now we ask You to stop the rain from falling on us, and take it to deserts and mountains where it is needed”.

Hazrat Sahib sat under it, it was summer time and very hot, since there were no leaves on the tree it could not provide any shade.

Hazrat Sahib looked up towards the tree and said, “Ya Allah, on the day of Qiamat the way you will give life to the dead and will give existence to the one who have become dirt, Ya Allah make this tree fresh again with your Mercy”. After saying this Hazrat Sahib took a nap under that tree, when he woke up the tree was full of leaves and it was providing thick shade under it, people were surprised by this miracle. That tree after this incident kept on giving fruit and it had lot of shade, who ever ate the fruit of this tree would be cured of their sickness. After eating the fruit of this tree, the dumb would start speaking and the blind would get cured, the disabled would start walking again. It became known that this tree had been blessed by Haji Abdul Huq Chughtai RA. It was well-known fact that he benefited the common people by telling them about Wazaif and giving cures for there ailments.

Munshi Muhammad Dean Fauk was a great poet and writer and used to write column as well. He used to issue a magazine which was called ‘Kashmiri Magazine’. He was a very brave man and used to visit different places. Munshi Muhammad Dean lived for some time in Bahawalpur and worked at Nawab of Bahawalpur’s Library as Librarian. Therefore, he mentioned some of the personalities of Bahawalpur in his magazine. In this magazine he especially mentioned one thing which I will explain here.

.u bq

ar

He wrote, that Maulana Abdul Aziz Sihalvi who was born in 1884’ in Thana Chowk Trazila Rawalpindi’s Butis Sihal. His father respected Maulana Ghulam Rasool was a religious scholar.

Maulana Abdul Aziz Sihalvi completed his early education from his home and nearby traditional Madrassas. Then he went to the famous institution of Ani Shreef and studied there under the guidance of the famous scholar of Sub-Continent Maulana Ghulam Rasool Aka, Ani Wale Baba Jee. He studied there for a long time and after that he went to Bahawalpur. In Bahawalpur he joined Rafiq ul Madarass Chabotra Bazar. (At present it is Chabotra Masjid and, before this it was a very big Madrassa and was established by Abdul Huq Chughtai RA. It was similar to Jamia Abbasia and it was directly under the Nawab of Bahawalpur, but it was established by Abdul Huq Chughtai RA. Now where the Masjid is, all the documents relating to the land is present in safe hands). In Bahawalpur he got training from great Scholars of that time.

w

There was one personality who studied with him in Bahawalpur and he wrote his name as ‘Hakeem Fatah Muhammad Chughtai’, who was later known as Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA and Maulana Abdul Aziz Sihalvi were class mates, though Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA was older in age from Abdul Aziz Sihalvi. Later they both went together to Dar ul Aloom for further studies. At Dar ul Aloom the studied under the guidance of Sheikh ul Hind Maulana Mahmudul Hassan RA and got the certificate.

A Strange incident of Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA’s Childhood!

w

In the ‘Kashmiri Magazine’, there is mentioned a strange incident about the childhood of Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. This is also mentioned in the family memoir # 16. It is written that in the early age, a Maulvi Sahib used to come home to teach Quran to Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. One day Maulvi Sahib was teaching Hazrat Sahib the Quran, there was one word that Hazrat Sahib was saying differently then what the teacher was teaching him, and he was not able to read it the way teacher wanted .Hazrat Sahib’s father noticed this and called Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

him and asked to bring the Quran Pak, Hazrat Sahib’s father noticed that the publisher of the Quran had published the word wrong in error and the word that Hazrat Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA as a child was saying was actually the correct word of the Quran. His father asked him, ‘Son! why did you not read it the way Maulvi Sahib was teaching you.” He replied, “I tried to read the way Maulvi Sahib taught me, but my tongue was not in my control and I was unable to say the word the way Maulvi sahib was teaching”. There were lots of similar incidents that happened in his early age. (Reference: ‘Kashmiri Magazine’, Munshi Muhammad Deen Fauk, 2nd Reference: Family Memoir # 16).

Note: Hazrat Mufti Haji Fateh Muhammad Chughtai wrote in his memoirs that in this Naat where it says, Khudai, Godly ness, it means high rank, like lord or some think great, and no way does it mean that they became the God. It only means that those people close to Allah SWT in prayers achieved the high ranks in His eyes.

Where he mentioned about lot of other personalities, he particularly mentioned the name of Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. He wrote, “The first time I went to meet Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA, I found him to be a very simple person but had lot of spiritual glow on his face. He asked me, if everything was fine and why did I want to see him. Then Hazrat Sahib looked at me and said, ‘Come shake hand with me take my Dua’s and right away leave for your home town, it is very important for you to go back as possible as some bad news are waiting for you there.’ He was the first Spiritual personality from whom I heard such talk, I got very worried, but I had heard such confidence in his voice that I believed he was telling the truth. I came back and right away applied for vacation to my seniors in the State. I caught the next train and left for my home town. After two days, I reached my home, and asked my family if everyone was fine and Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

I got upset with myself for not thinking before I came, I believed a Darwaish and leaving everything all of sudden I came back home. I was also upset and angry on Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA and felt ashamed of myself and started having weird feelings about this situation. Then I thought that I will stay one day home and then go the next morning back to Bahawalpur. I slept the night at home and next day started preparing to leave. Suddenly I got the news that my uncle, my mother’s brother who was quite healthy had fallen and had become paralyzed. I became worried, I arranged for a physician to examine my uncle and at once had his treatment started. It was just getting dark in the evening when I got the news that my cousin, son of my maternal aunt and fallen in a ditch full of thorns. Apparently, there was no harm, the thorns had pricked him, and he came unconscious and during the night in the state of unconscious he passed away. I could not sleep the whole night and was thinking what is happening, one bad news after another is happening. In the morning I heard that one of my class mates who was a lawyer by profession but he later started his own business had suddenly died. He was only forty-two years old. At once I remembered the Darwaish and felt that he was right, I felt ashamed of myself and thought that when I go back I should and ask him for forgiveness as I had shown mistrusted in his knowledge. (Refernce: For details read the newspaper ‘Kash ful Aloom’, Delhi).

I stayed a few days in my home town and then returned to Bahawalpur, right away I came to see Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. He saw me from far and said, ‘The saying of Darwaish has to be accepted without thinking, you can’t accept it once it became true’. I felt so sorry and apologized and showed remorse. I asked his forgiveness and I said that I made a great mistake.

After that I made a habit of frequently visiting him, I saw lot of strange incidents and miracles of Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA”.

This person started reciting the following Dua and said that who ever recites this Dua seven times in the morning will he will be listed among the Abdals and all his Duas will be accepted what ever he asks for himself and for other people from Allah SWT, will be all accepted. Then this person said to Hazrat Sahib that tell Khan Sahib to get rid of uncertainty from his life and what ever Dua he says, whether for himself or others all will be accepted, and after a while he left.

Khawaja Aziz ul Hassan Majzoob was one of the Khalifa’s (Religious heir of a Darwaish) of Hazrat Thanvi RA. Khawaja Aziz ul Hassan Majzoob was a very well-known personality and a highranking poet. He was born in 1884’ and died in 1944’. He was Deputy collector, which was a very high-grade Government official in the British rule. People used to laugh at his beard and traditional way of dress, they used to say, ‘Is he a deputy collector or Muezzin (One who gives Azan in the Masjid) of a Mosque’. (The people were very ignorant, they did not know that in the eyes of Allah SWT, a Muezzin has highest ranks as is evident from this saying of Hazrat Omar AS, who once said, “If I did not have to look after or perform the duties of a ruler of a state, then I would have been a Muezzin in a Masjid and would have spread the name of Allah SWT loud and clear. It is an honour and not an insult to be a Muezzin”).

In this magazine anther thing was mentioned with reference to this family. In the Mughal era in 1498’ British stepped on the soil of Hindustan (India) in the leadership of Vasco de Gama. They started their trade activities in the Coastal town of Kali Cut. Following these people other Europeans also became aware of the existence of Hindustan. Hundred and One Business man of England gathered thirty thousand pounds and established a firm in Hindustan by the name of ‘East India Company’. In 1601’ fist time in history the British ship sailed towards Hindustan, they made Bengal their Focal point and from this point started the activities of British in India. They also opened their offices in different areas of India and then gradually in the disguise of traders they brought their army to India. Eventually they reached the Palaces of Mughal Empire. Their material grandeur impressed the rulers of that time. The rulers of India at that time did not only Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

welcomed them but also gave them peace. In the next hundred years, lot of businesses came under the power of the British. After getting hold of the Business sector of India, now the British started taking interest in the Administration areas of India as well. They started putting the flag of East India Company over most of the established business areas. Apparently, it was only the businesses, but hidden agenda was to eventually rule India. Until 1707’ British could not get any breakthrough in the Government of India, but after the death of Aurangzeb Alamgir in 1707’ the center of Delhi became weak and people in power in the provinces started to take control of there areas and started to become independent of the state. This was the time British were waiting for.

With great planning and cunning they over took the state intuitions with the help of the Indian people who were already under their influence. The few Loyal Indians who were educated and were patriot to their land realized the conspiracy of the British and were very depressed and sad about what was happening.

In 1772’ Hazrat Shah Abdul Aziz Muhadis Dehlvi RA declared Hindustan, ‘Dar Al-Harb’ (meaning of Dar Al Harb: areas where Muslims are in minority and are persecuted). This ‘Fatwa’ had positive effects on the general public and the people stood up for Deen and Islam and started to realize that they must get rid of the British. Different movements started all over Hindustan for the rights of the Hindustanis’.

The Struggle of Hindustan!

The struggle of Hindustan started from Hazrat Shah Sahib’s this Fatwa. In 1884’ Hazrat Shah Sahib Dehlvi RA passed away at the age of eighty years. His grandson Shah Muhammad Ishaq Sahib RA was appointed his successor.

Eventually in the attack of Bala Kot in 1831’ on the blessed day of Friday, he was martyred along with three hundred other workers. Among those who were martyred there were twentytwo people from State of Bahawalpur, along with two elders from the family of Mufti Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA.

This Earthen Ware has Honey not Water!

In these two days that he stayed with Hazrat Sahib he wrote about a miracle of Hazrat Sahib. He writes, “I was sitting with Hazrat Sahib RA, a man came and brought an earthern ware and presented it to Hazrat Sahib. This man said, ‘Hazrat I have come to meet you, I brought this earthen ware, it is made from special earth of my land and it keeps the water very cool and sweet.’

Hazrat Mufti Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA placed his hand over the earthern ware and recited Surah Fatiha and then said, you forgot it does not have water it has honey in it, then Hazrat Sahib dipped his finger inside the earthern ware and when he pulled out his finger it was full of honey. Everyone sitting there dipped their fingers inside the earthern ware and witnessed that the earthern ware had honey in it, I also dipped my finger and saw that it contained honey and not water. After a while Hazrat Sahib said, ‘It must be milk’, then he put his finger again and when he took out his finger it had white liquid on it just like milk, everyone tasted it. Then Hazrat Sahib said to the man who had brought the earthern ware, ‘You must be worried that you brought cold and sweet water, okay, now take this earthern ware and give everyone the water to drink’. This incident with the reference of Hazrat Sahib was also mentioned in many newspapers of that time.

I had met so many Aulia Allah and Spiritual personalities but the Spirituality that I received from Hazrat Mufti Haji Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA was unique and I did not get such Faizaan from anyone else”.

The Price of One Roti in Allah’s Eyes!

Haft Roza ‘Jamal’ was published from Bahawalpur and its editor was Idrees Ahmad Mazhari. In December 1967’ issue of this magazine from Underoon Mohalla Ganj Shareef has an article about Dost Muhammad Qureshi RA. It is written, “When I went to Jamia Dhumbeel Bombay, I got to know that I will get the admission in the Jamia for studying, but the admission in the residency (Hostel: a place for students to stay while in school) was not possible as it had already filled out.

I got extremely worried and after Namaz Asr was sitting outside the Masjid, an older lady came and said to me, ‘Son! you seem to be from a good family, but looks like you are worried, what is the matter’. I told her the reason, she said, ‘Son! I am a very poor woman, I work in rich people houses and live on what ever I make from there. I get two roties in the morning and two roties in the evening. You have come to study the Deen of Allah, don’t go back, tomorrow I will eat one roti and give you the second roti, Insha Allah’. May Allah bless this mother, she would bring me Roti on time each day, and I studied without any worries. I relied on this Roti for the full year.”

That one Roti Worked!

He further wrote, “Due to that religious Education, today I am able to preach the religion of Allah SWT. I have full faith that though my parents are being blessed for this deed of mine, while poor mother who fed me, is also getting blessed along with my own parents. Then I went for Hajj.

day, I went for Salam at Roza a Rasool SAW, I slept in one corner. During my sleep in the dream I saw the same poor mother, she was wearing very nice clothes and her face looked very fresh, I asked her how was she treated after death, she said, ‘That one Roti made a lot of difference for me, when I was presented in front of Allah SWT, the command came, that she took care of the student of my Deen, I will take care of her and I was granted paradise.’ Lot of similar incidents happened”.

It is also written that when Hazrat Maulana Dost Muhammad Qureshi RA came to Ahmad Pur Shurkia he stayed at a place outside the city, where now is the General Bus Stand. Now that place is populated and is called Quraish Abad, but when Hazrat Maulana Dost Muhammad Qureshi RA came to stay long time ago, it was a deserted place. He wrote that Haji Allah Bakhsh stayed by my side and helped me financially. He used to send sacks of Wheat flour which he and his students would use. He used to send other groceries and meat and the household stuff. On each Eid, he would send lot of stuff, sweets, money and other gifts for my whole family.

There was a Special Spiritual Glow that would Reflect from his Body!

He said that there is not a single day that I did not say Duas for Hazrat Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA. Hazrat Maulana Dost Muhammad Qureshi RA also said, “I saw with my own eyes that there was a certain spiritual glow that was reflected from his body, this glow was a gift from Allah SWT due to his spirituality”.

In haft Roza ‘Jamal’ Bahawalpur, editor, Idrees Ahmad Mazhari from Underoon Mohalla Gunj Shareef, May 1968’, an article was published by the title of ‘Hazrat Madni RA and his distinction in Bahawalpur’. Hazrat Maulana Hussain Ahmad Madni RA Died on December 05th, 1957’ at the age of 80 years. It is part of history that whenever he came to Bahawalpur, Hazrat Haji Allah Bakhsh Chughtai RA and Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA would be present at his company and provide their services whole heartedly.

In the same diary where there is written about the ranks and spirituality of Hazrat Madni RA, there is also the mention of Qazi Sajaad Hussain RA, who was president of Madrassa Alia Fatah Pur Delhi. Hazrat Haji Allah Bakhsh Chagatai RA and Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA had great Friendship, and love and respect with Qazi Sajaad Hussain RA. It is also written that Qazi Sajaad Hussain RA came to Bahawalpur twice, one time he stayed with Hazrat Maulana Sadiq Sahib RA and once with Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. He had great love and respect for this family, so much so that in his magazine, ‘Al Bayan’ which was issued from Delhi, he wrote a sixteen-page article on the life to Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA.

Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA was among the people who later financially helped the family of Gazi Ilumdeen Shaheed, because Gazi Ilumdeen’s family was very basically very poor and had a big family.

Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA Pleaded a Strange Legal Case!

w

Sana Ullah Advocate used to issue a weekly magazine from Lahore, which continued for quite some time, its name was, ‘Watan’. In this he wrote a strange thing, he wrote that on July 24th, 1926’ in the court of Ahmad Pur Shurkia a court case was admissible, and it was being pleaded

by Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. In this case a woman by the name of Ghulam Ayesha had taken stand that her husband Abdul Razzaq has left the Deen of Islam and joined a strange religion which is very different from the religion of Islam. Since this new religion that her husband has adopted does not believe in the oneness of Allah and he is now a non-Muslim, her Nikah should be declared Null and Void. This court case continued for many years, eventually on February 07th, 1933’, Judge Muhammad Akbar Khan gave the verdict in the favour of this woman and the husband was declared non-Muslim.

w

After this judgement the Judge passed away. After his death, Mir Abdul Jameel former Judge who was the son of Retired Chief Justice, Mir Siraj ud Deen Sahib went to Madinah Munawar. He lived close to Babay Jibrael. He saw a dream in which he saw, Judge Muhammad Akbar Khan, and three other personalities and one of them was Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA going hand in hand to some special place. Some one asked them where you are going, they said that they are going for Salam at Roza a Rasool. They have a special invitation as they worked hard and pursued a case relating to the commands of Nabi Pak SAW according to Quran and Sunnah.

Repentance with full conviction!

In the Family Memoir # 15, is written the about Hazrat Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA and Haji Allah bakhsh Chughtai RA. It is written that they heard from the scholars that, ‘Fazeel Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Bin Ayaz’, though was a thief and robber but he had the fear of Allah SWT in his heart. Once his group went to steal and rob a caravan, after the robbery his group went to one place for food, as they were sitting there, some came and asked who their leader is. One of the men from the group of robbers said that the leader was not with them. The man asked again, ‘Does he not want to eat, the group said, ‘Our leader is fasting he does not eat’. The man again asked, ‘But it is not Ramzan’, the group replied he fasts Nawafl. They pointed under, the nearby tree a guy was saying Namaz, and they said that was their leader. The man said, ‘It is not the time for Namaz’. The others said he is saying Nawafl.

No Doubt Allah SWT is Often Forgiving!

i.o

The man was very surprised he went close to the guy who was praying Namaz and stood beside him waiting for him to finish. After Fazeel finished the man asked him, ‘My friend two opposite things cannot be done at the same time”.

.u bq

ar

“I know that you fast, then why do you rob and steal from people. Then you say Namaz and kill people, what is all this”? Fazeel replied, “Do you know how to read the Quran”. The man said, “Yes”. Fazeel again said, “Read it and the translation says, ‘Some people accept their wrong doings, and their good deeds are mixed with their bad deeds. You never know when Allah will accept their repentance and give them the Taufiq of doing all good deeds”. No doubt Allah is often forgiving, he listened to the prayers of Fazeel, and he left all bad deeds and got busy in Allah’s zikr and prayers.

Deen is Just Left in Name!

w

w

He used to say one thing, “There are no more Elders left in this world. The ones that are left have only the love for this world in their hearts have moved away from the Zikr of Allah. People’s lives are full of difficulties. People do not take the name of Deen anymore, Deen has been left alone and people are changing their routes away from Deen. The Signs of Qiamat are seen every where.

We see people every where spending more time on useless activities and less time on the Zikr and prayer to Allah SWT. We feel so sorry for this condition of the world and the general public and are ashamed and pray to Allah Almighty that He forgives us guide us back to His religion.

w

At another place it is written that Allah SWT wants love and commitment and obedience from its people, but people are going after their worldly desires. Listening to their ‘Nafs’ and not to the Quran and Sunnah. (Nafs is the inner soul of a person that commands him to do evil. If we as Muslims learn to control our Nafs and not listen to it, we can avoid lot of evils that we commit in our daily lives every day)

Brick as a Pillow!

Malik Bin Dinar says, “Once I passed by Bibi Rabia Edwiah, she had just finished her morning prayers and was still sitting on her prayer mat. The only possessions that I saw in her house was Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

an earthern pot for Wudu and for drinking water, a brick that she used as a pillow and her prayer mat made of dried branches of a tree. I said to her, ‘Oh Sayeda! I feel sorry for this poor condition, I know some rich people I will ask them to look after you’. She replied to me, ‘Oh Malik, don’t you know that my Lord and the Lord of all these things is the same.’ I started crying, then she turned towards me and said, ‘there is something in my eye that is bothering me’. I looked inside her eye was piece of the prayer mat that was poking her eye and it was getting bad, I asked her, ‘Did you not notice it when you were praying’. She replied, ‘When I pray, I am so much engrossed in praying and fully focused on my Lord that I did not feel anything else. During my prayer if the whole world gets into my eyes I will not feel any pain as I am too immersed in the love of my Lord’. Then she told me three things about the attitude of Aulia Allah.

Peer should be Like This!

ar

1. Make our Character our good friend.

2. Forgive the person with Bad Character and advice him.

3. Wish good for everyone the way you want good for yourself. It means the Belonging of the Khilafat be given and returned to the rightful owner, because Khilafat is the belonging of the Aulia. It is the responsibility of the Fakir to return the belonging to the rightful owner.

He should show it to the deserving and do not hold back anything while transferring this belonging, (Amana) and say ‘No’ to the one who does not deserve. The way of Shariah, Tarikaat and Haqeeqat is very complicated and the Peer should be the one who is aware of all these things so that he can guide the others to reach their goals.

w

It is further stated, who ever follows the Principles of Quran & Sunnah fully as taught by Nabi Pak SAW and truly practice them does not need a teacher, Allah SWT teaches him all the secrets of Shariah, Tarikaat and Haqeeqat by giving him so much wisdom and understanding, that he just thinks about it and grasp the concepts right away and get all the knowledge of the matters that others would get after lot of practice and thinking about it for long time.

Mostly when the speakers would deliver the speeches, they were so full of difficult world and analogies that it was hard to translate in English, but according to Late Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, Maulana Shabeer Ahmad Usmani Sahib’s speeches were very easily translated into English Language.

“Scholars and Sheikhs of State of Bahawalpur”, Editor, Makhdoom Noor Muhammad Siddique, September 1942’ Sadiq Abad. Bi weekly ‘Humdum’, editor Waqar Surhadi. This article was published in magazine ‘Humdum’. In this article was written that Hazrat Maulana Taj Mahmood Amroti RA was from the prestigious family of Sadat.

Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA would often travel to Amrot Shareef and often the Sheikhs from Deen Pur Shareef would accompany him as well. Maulana Amroti once said that he has two homes, one in Amrot and the other in Ahmad Pur Shurkia, District Bahawalpur Dera Nawab Station and that house belongs to Haji Mufti Fatah Muhammad Chughtai RA. It is the same house where there used to be a silk handkerchief, not sure if it is still there or not. It is the same house from where they went to the war of Shamli and then went to the event of Balakot.

This is the same house that had great connection to the scholars and sheikhs of Maulana Amroti.

This is a very simple and extremely successful Amal that has been passed down in my family from the time when my ancestors migrated from Afghanistan. My elders left Afghanistan because their elders and Teachers told them to move from Afghanistan and spread the Deen of Allah in the other parts of the world. They were told to spread the religions of Allah and to instill the love of Nabi Akhir U Zaman SAW in the hearts of all the humanity. So, with this intention my elders left Afghanistan and after travelling a long distance reached the State of Bahawalpur. Centuries ago they settled in Bahawalpur and started preaching the Deen of Allah and taught people about the Halal and Haram and the key concepts of Deen that Nabi Akhir U Zaman brought by the command of Allah SWT. Hundreds and Thousands of people learned the Deen from my elders, and my ancestors were the source of great goodness to the community, everyone benefited from their spirituality. My elders specially told us to practice this Amal in times of difficulty or problems and Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Hazrat Maulana Kazi Azeem U Deen Allawi

.u bq

ar

Hazrat Maulana Kazi Azeem U Deen Allawi was a prominent Khateeb and scholar of state of Bahawalpur who had no equivalent of his status in those days. He was a true copy of the Muslims of the earlier days. He would always talk about the saying of the Nabi Pak SAW and the praises of Allah SWT. Everyone loved him and respected him no matter what type of life they belonged to what their race of creed was. Where ever he went people would show him great respect and honour. People would leave their tasks at hand and would stand up in his honour. For sixty years he performed the duties of the Royal Khateeb and Kazi in the state of Bahawalpur and spread the light of Deen.

He Would Always Favour the Side of the Truth!

No one could reach the respect and high status of Kazi Sahib in Bahawalpur. He always took the side of the truth. His way of speech was very different from the other speakers. He would deliver the speech in a very calm and poised manner and his speech included lots of verses from Iqbal’s poetry and other known scholars. From years 1725’ till 1955’ for 230 years, State of Bahawalpur was one of the largest Muslim State of the Indo Pak Subcontinent. In the era of Nawab Bahawal Khan Last, the name of State was ‘Dar ul Saroor Bahawalpur’ and the coins and stamps of that would bore this name. (Reference: Munshi Muhammad Anwar Feroze). Not sure who named it Saroor, but in fact until 1955’ the state was ‘Dar ul Saroor’ (Meaning: a place of great peace and comfort). State of Bahawalpur has always been a center of Knowledge and Learning and the rulers of Bahawalpur very good judge of character and would rightfully recognize the talent and true nature of others. This was the reason that lot of known scholars and great personalities travelled to Bahawalpur and made it their home. The forbearer of Kazi Azeem U Deen’s family, known as Haji Muhammad Saad Ullah Waaz RA was Royal Waaz of Lahore, in twelfth Century. His Shrine is still in the Mian Meer Graveyard. (Reference: Monthly, ‘Al Aziz’, Issue of November 1940’)

The Reception of Nawab Bahawal Khan Sani!

i.o

rg

In those days, the other known personality of the same status as Haji Muhammad Saad Ullah Waaz Ra was Mufti Muhammad Baka Sahib Farooqi. Late Kazi Sahib’s mother’s ancestry is traced back to Mufti Muhammad Baka Sahib Farooqi. In 1193 Hijri, both grandsons of Haji Muhammad Saad Ullah Waaz RA (Waaz of Lahore) went for Hajj along with their sons. There names were, Maulvi Muhammad Hifz ul Islam and Maulvi Faiz ul Islam. When they reached Bahawalpur, Nawab Bahawal Sani heard about their arrival, he himself went to welcome them on the banks of River Sutlej and offered them to settle in Bahawalpur. They accepted the request of Nawab of Bahawalpur and on their return from Hajj they permanently settled in Bahawalpur. Nawab Bahawal Khan Sani himself received the teaching of the Deen from Maulvi Hifz ul Islam. The history of the building of Jamia Masjid of Ahmad Pur Shurkia is written by Maulvi Hifz ul Islam, which is engraved on the front of the Masjid even today. (Reference: Monthly, ‘Al Aziz’, Issue of November 1940’)

ar

Maulvi Hifz ul Islam praised Mufti Muhammad Baka Sahib Farooqi in the presence of Nawab Bahawal Khan. Due to this Nawab Sahib called him from Lahore and awarded the Medal of Khosrow. (Reference: Monthly, ‘Al Aziz’, Issue of October 1941’)

The Services During the Expansion and Development of the State!

w

From the era of Nawab Bahawal Khan Sani, both these families are settled in the South Eastern part of the inner city known as ‘Mohalla Kazian which formerly known as Kaza Khanna’. Both these families participated in the Expansion and Development of the State and served in lot of other fields as well. Family members of these two families served as Kazi, Judicial Magistrate, Scholars, Physicians, Doctors, Engineers and Poets. Another full book is needed to list their services in the different fields of life in the State of Bahawalpur. Here we will mention a few great personalities of these two families, among them was Late Kazi Sahib’s grand father, Maulana Aziz ud Deen Aziz. He was the compiler of the Diwan of Urdu and Farsi, and very well known for translation of ‘Qissa Burda Shareef’ in Farsi, Urdu and Saraiki languages. It was also published by the name of ‘Nazem Allura’ in 1884’ by Husseini Publications Mumbai.

The Homeland of Murshid!

Maulana Aziz ud Deen Aziz passed away in 1892’ in Taunsa Shareef, the homeland of his Murshid and was buried there. Maulvi Noor Muhammad Farooqi Awal, was grandfather of Kazi Sahib. He was the source of communication between ‘Mai Sahiba’, (mother of Nawab Subah Sadiq) and the British Government. (Reference: Monthly, ‘Al Aziz’, Issue of October 41’)

Chief Justice of Chief Court of Bahawalpur!

Aziz ud Deen Aziz’s first cousin, (Son of his paternal uncle), Maulana Shums U Deen Allawi was the first Chief Justice of Chief Court of Bahawalpur. He along with Justice Murad Shah Gardezi wrote the history of Bahawalpur, which was named, “Tarikh a Muradi”. This was the first book in Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Khateeb of Shahi Masjid of Ahmad Pur Shurkia!

rg

Urdu language that was written on the history of Bahawalpur but could not be published. The book of history written by Mirza Ashraf Gorkani, ‘Sadiq ul Tarikh’ published in 1899’ came to be known as the first published book. Another achievement of Maulana Shams U Deen was in Muzaffar Garh, the translation in Urdu of the Arabic book of Allama Abdul Aziz Pur Harvie RA by the name of ‘Mughzun Sulamania’. (Reference: Monthly, ‘Al Aziz’ Bahawalpur, edition, July 1940, # 43)

From the same family, Maulana Kazi Mahmood ud Deen RA was the Khateeb of the Shahi Masjid of Ahmad Pur Shurkia at the end of nineteen century. Maulana Shums ud Deen Allawi’s sons, Hakeem Noor Ahmad and Maulvi Sayeed Ahmad and grand sons Maulvi Matee ur Rahman and Maulvi Manzoor Ahmad were appointed on high ranks in the Administration of the State of Bahawalpur. Maulvi Matee ur Rahman hold a degree, Masters of Arabic. He served as in charge of the Library in the Museum Sultani in Sadiq Karh Palace. The rank of Kazi of the State of Bahawalpur remained in the Allawi family from the era of Nawal Bahawal Khan Sani till Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Abbasi. Kazi Azeem U Deen was the last of this chain.

.u bq

Birth of Kazi Azeem U Deen RA was born in 1907’ to Kazi Kleem Ullah and Bibi Khadija. Kazi Sahib’s Father was Allawi and mother were Farooqi. Kazi Sahib was the only brother to three sisters. His father passed away when he was still young. The responsibility of his up bringing came on the shoulders of his mother and maternal uncle, Maulvi Faiz Muhammad Farooqi, who was District Judge in the state of Bahawalpur. The both took this responsibility seriously and took great care of him. His uncle took care of his property while he was young and guided him all matters of his life.

Jamia Abbasia!

w

w

w

Kazi Saad Deen’s only son, Ghulam Muhammad did not get religious education, therefore the elders of the family contacted the in charge of Council of Regency to appoint Kazi Azeem U Deen the Khateeb of the Jamia Masjid Al Sadiq. Council of Regency was established as the father of Sir Sadiq, Nawab Bahawal Khan died while Sire Sadiq was a very young child and could not take care of the matters of the state. Council ran all the matters of the state until the crowning of Nawab Sir Sadiq in 1924’. At that time Nawab Sir Sadiq was still a student at Madrassa Saddar Dinyat.

This Madrassa was established by the efforts of Maulana Shums U Deen and well-known scholar Maulana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri was the president of this Madrassa. The same Madrassa Saddar later became to be known as Jamia Abbasia.

The only Religious Institute of Sub Continent!

The establishment of the Institute of Religious studies, Jamia Abbasia was among the prominent achievements of Nawab of Bahawalpur. This institute did not only provide the certified religious studies but was also know for providing education of all the modern-day sciences.

The Designation of the Royal Kazi!

i.o

Faculty of Jamia Abbasia was the only one that could issue a Fatwa. Apart from that Jamia Abbasia was the only examining authority for all the Madrassas in the state of Bahawalpur and only the Degree from Jamia Abbasia was accepted all over the Sub Continent. In different periods renowned learned scholars were associated with Jamia Abbasia. Among which we can name the following in order of their service, Maulana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri; Allam Ghulam Muhammad Khotavi; Sheikh ul Jamia Maulana Ahmad Ali Baloch; Maulana Farooq Ahmad; Maulana Sadiq Muhammad; Maulana Obaidullah; Maulana Muhammad Ali; Kazi Manzoor Ahmad; Maulana Nazim Nadvi; Maulana Muhammad Idrees Kandhlvi; Allama Shums ul Huq Afghani; Maulana Syed Ahmad Sayeed Kazmi; All these scholars were part of the faculty of Jamia Abbasia. This institute produced hundreds of religious scholars who were very famous and did great services to the Deen. These days this institute is famous as ‘The Islamia University of Bahawalpur’.

Regarding the application for the Khateeb for Kazi Azeem U Deen, was accepted by postponed till he completes his education. In the mean while Kazi Siraj Ahmad was appointed as Khateeb for all the Jumma Prayers and the Eid Prayers. Kazi Sahib was among the first badge of the Allama who graduated from Jamia Abbasia. His other class mates were Maulana Abdul Hammed Rizwani, Assistant Sheikh of Jamia Abbasia, Maulana Basheer Ahmad Akhtar Ullah Abadi, Kazi Ghulam Haider, Head Master Normal School, Khan Pur were some of the famous personalities. After getting the degree of ‘Allama’ from Jamia Abbasia in 1928’ became the Khateeb of Jamia Masjid Al Sadiq and at the same time accepted the designation of Shahi Kazi, which remained with him until his death in 1986’.

A Person of Integrity!

Kazi Sahib had a very soft and kind demeanor. He used to speak very softly and had high regards for his audience. No one had every heard him talk in a loud voice with anyone. Did not want anyone to do anything for him, he used to do most of tasks by himself, whether it was at work or home. He was a man of integrity and high morals, he used to ignore the disrespect that was ever shown to him by someone. He had a very well-groomed personality which was reflected in his sense of dress and his eating habits. He had a very good taste for the personal things, even his house reflected his good taste in the things that he owned. His way of dressing up was unique and it also reflected his good taste as mentioned before.

Attendance in Gatherings was Considered a Blessing!

Kazi Sahib had literacy taste and liked to read and attend the scholarly and literate gatherings.

He used to read a lot and most of the time would mark the important points in the books that he read. His memory was very strong, and he had memorized lots of poetry of Iqbal and other poets which he often quoted during his speeches. He participated in the ‘All India poetry symposium of Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Page 138 of 143

1943’. He remembered all the detail of this poetic symposium and remembered the poems read there by the different poets. His attending any gathering was considered, a blessing by the public.

Any Gathering without His Attendance was considered to be Incomplete!

Love and Affection for His Wife!

i.o

rg

Any gathering whether it was a University function, or convocation at the S E Government College, Eid Milad un Nabi celebration or a Nikah ceremony, without Kazi Sahib it was considered to be incomplete. Every one, no matter what status they were from, in Bahawalpur every one wanted that Kazi Sahib should give the Khutbah of the Nikah. People used to write in their will that their funeral prayers should be said by Kazi Sahib. There was hardly a child in the family who did not get the first Azan from Kazi Sahib or whose name was not suggested by Kazi Sahib. The first sweet thing given to a child was a desire of each family, that Kazi Sahib should give that with his blessed hands. (I the writer of this book was also among those lucky infants).

Kazi Sahib loved his wife very much. His wife was fighting a long illness, Kazi Sahib used to take care of her even though he himself was quite old at that time. He never complaint about anything, he performed the duties of looking after his wife with full devotion and love. Professor Qudrat Ullah Shahab once wrote an article about Kazi Sahib in which he wrote, “The former chairman of the board of intermediate and secondary education, Sayed Ashraf Ali’s daughter was getting married and Kazi Sahib was requested to perform the Nikah ceremony and Khutbah. At the appointed time Ashraf Sahib’s nephew, Doctor Shahid Hassan Rizvi, went to bring Kazi Sahib from his home. When Kazi Sahib came out of his house, he looked very distressed and sad, Dr. Shahid asked him, if he was not well. Kazi Sahib told him, ‘I am fine, but my wife is not feeling well, and I am worried about her’. Though he himself was also not feeling well that day, but he did not care about his own health, he was more worried for his wife”.

He Never Said ‘No’ to Anyone, Nor Did He Ever showed Attitude!

w

People would come to ask about religious issues and would request him to attend their gatherings. People would request him to perform Nikah ceremony or say funeral prayers for their dead. He would not refuse anyone, and never showed any kind of attitude. Thought his wife was sick and there was no one at home to look after her.

A Living Example of Sunnah of Nabi Pak SAW! His problems increased in 1979’ after the marriage of his daughter, though he fulfilled the duties of a daughter. The whole city was under his debt and loved and respected him and would always ready to serve him, but he did not Liked to take any favours from anyone. He followed the Sunnah

of Nabi Pak SAW. He went for Hajj twice, once in 1935’ and second time in 1986’ to perform Hajj a Badal for his wife.

Never got involved Denominationalism!

Sad on The Condition of Muslims!

On the day of Friday, he started preparing for Jumma Prayers from early morning. He was the first person who started presenting the Khutbah of Jumma and Eid in Urdu Language instead of Arabic. He believed Khutbah should be in the language that people speak so that understand the message and follow it as well. His Khutbah would last for 40 to 45 minutes and no one was ever bored as it used to be so precise and given in a very interesting manner. He would prepare for the Khutbah well in advance and it was also heard that during the time of Nawab Sahib when he had to deliver the Khutbah in his presence he would usually go and consult with his teacher, respected Maulana Ubaid Ullah. His Khutbah was never talked about denominationalism (Firka Wariat).

Kazi Sahib used to often these words in his Jumma and Eid Khutbahs, “The characteristics of the Prophets and Nabi AS and the Aulia Allah, turned non believers (Kafir) into believers and we declare believers as no believers (Kafir). Even today these sayings of the Kazi Sahib seem to echo from the doors and walls of the Jamia Masjid Al Sadiq, but it is very sad that today in Bahawalpur, there is no one who could carry this message and spread it among the people.

w

Kazi Sahib was often sad on the condition of Muslims especially their social attitudes. Professor Qudrat Ullah Shahab wrote about the detail of his meeting with Kazi Sahib, “I met Kazi Sahib at a wedding in Rain Basera, it was a long meeting. In this meeting he narrated to me an incident about a Christian Missionary in Beirut. Kazi Sahib said, ‘The head of a big Christian Missionary organization met with famous journalist Mullah Wahadi. Mullah Wahadi asked him, that he spends lot of money on the organization and as a result, has he ever been able to convert a Muslim to Christianity. The Missionaries answer was, ‘No’. But he said though we could not convert them to Christianity, but now they are not Muslims either, and that is our biggest success. Today the corruption and vulgarity among the Muslims is due to our Missionaries success. (Reference; ‘Ujlay Mun kay Lok’, Qudrat Ullah Shehzad, Sutlej Publications, Bahawalpur, September 2000, # 14)

Please Advise Him!

w

Once he came to our house, my mother was talking about me and said to Kazi Sahib, “Please advise him to say Namaz regularly”. When he was about to leave, it was time for Zohar Namaz.

He took me with him the Masjid. After the Namaz he sat down and recited the following Ayat of Quran Pak, 2:43 OF THE QURAN

Family Life Style: Hazrat Hakeem Muhammad Tariq Mahmood Majzoobi Chugtai,(db)

Page 140 of 143

(Meaning: Stand in prayer/ Establish worship, pay the poor-due, and bow your heads with those who bow (in prayer/worship). Kazi Sahib advised me to perform Namaz regularly and then narrated an incident from his childhood.

Nigaah-e-Mard-e-Momin sey Badal jaatee hein taqdeerein! (Iqbal’s Poem)

Restore your Identity!

ar

i.o

Kazi Sahib said, “I was a young boy and was a student at Madrassa Saddar Dinyat, Maulana Obaid Ullah Sindhi RA was staying with my maternal uncle, Maulvi Faiz Muhammad Farooqi, District Judge. I was take to met him, the first question he asked me was, ‘Do you say Namaz regularly, I said, sometimes I say it sometimes I don’t.’ it was Asr time, he asked me if I had said the Asr Namaz, I said, ‘No’. He said do the Wudu in front of me. I did that, then he asked me to say the Namaz in front of him. I did the same. That till today, I never missed any Namaz. So you can relate it to this verse from Iqbal’s poetry, “Nigaah-e-Mard-e-Momin sey Badal jaatee hein taqdeerein”.

The meaning of this verse is, “By the glance of the man who is a true believer even the destiny is changed”, Iqbal’s poem, Talu a Islam, Bang a Darra.

In 1970’ the movement started for the restoration of the provincial identity of Bahawalpur. At this occasion in his historical Jumma Khutbah at Jamia Masjid Al Sadiq, Kazi Sahib stressed that the real reason for the restoration of the identity of the Province of Bahawalpur is to safeguard our identity. Before Pakistan came into being, this area was a mini Pakistan. It was a complete modern Islamic Welfare State due to the sound ideas and strategy of Sir Sadiq. First time Allama Iqbal RA came to Bahawalpur as a Law Advisor for the State of Bahawalpur, he said the following verses of Poetry addressing Sir Sadiq, “Zinda Hani Tere Dum Say Arab ki Rawait; Aye Yaadgar Sitwat Islam Zinda Abad;”(Meaning; “Due to you the Traditions of Arab are still alive, Oh the respect of Islam may you live forever).

Every Eye was full of Tears!

On May 24th, 1966’ Nawab Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Khamis Abbasi passed away and his funeral prayers according to his will were performed by Hazrat Kazi Azeem U Deen RA. Kazi Sahib was a patient of Asthma since his youth which would some times escalate. On May 1st, 1986’ after the Zohar Prayers he started having breathing problem, he performed the Asr and Maghrib prayers in this condition with great difficulty. All this time he stood with the support of pillar of the front porch and continuously kept on reciting the First Kalma. When he could not stand any more, he went inside and laid down on his bed. As soon as he laid down, he passed away by the will of Allah SWT. Next day was Friday, May 2nd, 1986’, after Jumma prayers his funeral left Jamia Masjid Al Sadiq towards the burial grounds. There were so many people in the funeral congregation that 1km was covered in two and half hours. All eyes were crying and there was sadness in the city that day.

Bahawalpur Had Become Orphan!

i.o

rg

Hafiz ul Hadith Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Abdullah Darkhuasti RA said Kazi Sahib’s funeral Prayers and he was buried in the seven hundred years old graveyard Malook Shah. He left behind a Widow, a son and a daughter and hundreds of followers who loved him selflessly. His wife could not bear the loss of his death and she passed within a year. The gap created by his death in Bahawalpur could never be filled by anyone, it was like the State of Bahawalpur had become an orphan after his death. Kazi Muhammad Gaus wrote in his article, that if ever for some reason Kazi Sahib did not come for the Jumma Khutbah, that Jumma was unbearable for the people.

People of Bahawalpur without the distinguish of different Islamic Denominations liked his leadership.

.u bq

ar

What a coincident that Kazi Sahib died on the night of Friday, and the very next day at the Jumma Prayers all eyes were looking for Kazi Sahib. Their eyes were looking up at the podium and Minbar of the Khateeb. (A minbar is a pulpit in the mosque where the imam stands to deliver sermons or in the Hussainia where the speaker sits and lectures the congregation). But Kazi Sahib had good bye to the Masjid for ever, and in a little while his funeral left Jamia Masjid Al Sadiq and moved toward the Graveyard Malook Shah. People were crying uncontrollably, today Bahawalpur had become an orphan. (Reference: Article, “Kazi Azeem U Deen’, Kazi Muhammad Gaus, Weekly, ‘Madinah’, May 9th, 1986’.
