Even though this is a small book but due to its importance it is so

information in it so it is like an ocean of knowledge and information
about holy saint and who was passed away from the world upon doing
his great endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and
propagation work of Islam in the area of the South India. So this book
is a small one but it will present the ocean of knowledge and
information for the guidance of people towards the right path of Islam.
This book is edited and formatted as per the great book Muslim
saints and Mystics (Tadhkirtal Aliyah by Farid al din Attar) which is
very famous in the Western world among the English knowing persons.
So for this reason there will be some small differences in it while
comparing with the Urdu books and its literature. The aim of this book
is to present in the Western world where there is great search and
demand of the books of Sufism and biographies of holy saints who lived
and spent their entire lives for the preaching and propagation of Islamic
religion in all corners of the world as per tradition and practice of Allahs
last prophet.
To write about this great Sufi saint and Sufi master is not only it is
difficult and but it is very hard task as he was not only a great pious
personality of his time in Deccan region but he was also a great Sufi
Master in Deccan area and who struggled hard for the preaching and

propagation of Islam centuries ago so in brief he was Qutub (highest

cadre in spiritual pivot at axis) of his time in Deccan region region and
who did many great endeavors for the preaching and propagation of
Islam in South India and around it and there was no such personality
during his time.

Blessed birth and Education
His blessed birth took place about five hundred years ago on the 7th
Rajab in the year 896 A.H. in Baghdad city and at that time Turkey
was province under the Baghdad government and the name of the
rulers of Turkey is Saleem. His early education and training have
completed under the direct supervision of his father at his house as
their house belongs to great knowledge and wisdom and by the age of
12 years he has completed his education and he was becoming perfect
in many knowledges. He has memorized the Quran under the
supervision of his mother who was also a perfect lady in many
knowledges. So when she will use to observe any miracle from any of
her sons so she will use to say them Baby take rest and then at that
time the boy will suddenly die at once and in this way many of her sons
were dead.
Until the age of 12 years, there was no miracle was occurred by him
and he has completed the education in the knowledge of zaheri
(manifest ) and then his father has granted him saintly dress (circa) and
Khilafat (spiritual successorship) and in this way he was become caliph
of his father. At that time city of Baghdad was the center of knowledge
and arts and its population was very much while comparing with the
other cities of the world and for this reason, it was called as a bride of
the cities.
His father used to keep himself with him in his zikr (remembrance of
Allah) and recital and practice circles and which was enabled him for
his improvement and progress of his (batitni) innermost knowledge

.Upon the completion of knowledge of manifest (zaheri) he was started

learning the knowledge of batani (innermost) and he has become perfect
in the short period of time. When his father will observe any miracle
from any of his sons then he used to tell them Baby takes rest and
then at that time the boy will suddenly die at once and in this way many
of his sons were dead.
His fathers name is Syed Hasan Abdul Quader Thani who was a
perfect learned person and scholar and for this reason, large numbers of
persons used to come to see him and were become his disciples and they
will also use to become perfect in knowledge and will become scholars.
He has spent his life on the trust on Allah (mutakwil) and there were
large numbers of his disciples and devotees. Whatever he gets by the
grace and kindness of Allah so he will use to accept the same.
Journey
Once he was standing in the house building and at that time some
ducks and geese were running towards him so he moved his leg and
due to this reason one duck was died there suddenly.
The housemaid reported this miracle to the mother of Hazrat Mashooq
Rabbani R.A. She was given her instructions that she should not disclose
this matter to any other persons and she has begun her preparations to
separate him from his father and for the above reason she obtained
permission from the father of Hazrat Mashooq Rabbani R.A. He was
obtained saintly dress and made a pledge (Bay'ah) to his father and left
the Baghdad city along with some disciples and followers ( mutaqadien)
and his mother was asked him to proceed directly towards holy cities of
Makkah and Madina.

Upon obtaining his parents permission in the year 912 Hegira. He

was proceeded on his journey towards Madina city and at that time
when he was sixteen years old. He was visited Makkah and from there
he was reached to Madina city and he has stayed there for a period of
two years. Along with some disciples and followers (mutaqadien) he
has covered the journey towards Madina city by day and night travel and
was reached towards Madina city. He has stayed in the mosque in
Madina city. He was used to visiting the prophets mosque in the
morning and evening time to present his salam (salutation) there and
some time he was used to busying there in meditation (maraqaba). He
was busy in Madina city in the following schedule.
1. Meeting with Sufi persons. 2. Meeting with mashaiq (learned
persons) and sheikhs (saints).3.Attend the teaching circles.4.Worship.
Hajj
He was residing in Madina city for a period of two years. During his
stay in Madina city, he visited Makkah city two times along with his
some disciples and followers ( mutaqadien) and was performed the
Hajj and came back from there to Madina city. Once he was proceeding
towards Makkah city along with some disciples and followers
(mutaqadien) and during the journey due to no water availability the
caravan persons were faced lot of problems and for this reason all
persons were requested his help in this matter. So the Sheikh was asked
to remove the silts from one place. So upon removing the silts they
found a spring in which clean water was available there. Upon fulfilling
thirst and filling the miskhs (small water skins) the caravan was started
again for their journey towards Makkah city. During the above journey
one night there was very much darkness and there was no arrangement
of lamps with the caravan. So the Sheikh told them to put water in the

10

small vessels and put the cloth wicks in them and lit them and upon this,
the wicks were lightened like the torches (mashael).
During this journey, one persons camel was dead on the way and its
owner was a poor person and he was depended on the camel only. So
with his great grief, he was requested the Sheikhs help in this matter
and due to the Sheikhs supplication, the camel has become alive.
During this journey son of Hazrat Shah Kamal Darwish was dead
suddenly so Shah Sahib has explained the details to the Sheikh in this
matter and he has requested the Sheikh for his help so he prayed in this
matter and the boy has become alive due to kindness and grace of Allah.
Title Mashooq Rabbani
One day he was present in the mausoleum of a holy prophet after the
morning prayer and for longtime he was busy in the meditation
(maraqaba) there and returned back to his mosque where he was
residing. And on the same night he was come to the mausoleum in the
late night time and requested the servants to open the lock of the
mosque of the prophet but they were refused to open the door of the
mausoleum against the rules and regulations in the late night hours.
So the Shaikh told them that he was asked to be present in the
mosque so they should open the door. They have told him that they
were not able to open the door. So then if he wants he should open the
door himself and get into the mausoleum. So the Sheikh called Ya
Jaddi, Ya Jaddi (Oh: grandfather, Oh : grandfather) so the door was
opened automatically and there was came a reply from the mausoleum
Ya Waladi, Ya Waladi (Oh : my son, Oh : my son). So he opened the
door and he was entered into the mausoleum and he was there up to
morning time in khilawat (sitting in solitude) and after morning prayer
he was coming back to his mosque and he was granted saintly dresses

11

and was taking a pledge (bay'ah) from his disciples and followers
(mutaqadien) and was given the caliphate to the following
persons.1.Hasan Bin Ahmed. 2.Shaikh Kamal Darwish.
He was informed all his disciples and followers (mutaqadien) that
from Samadiat ( from Allah) he was granted title Mashooq Rabbani
(the lover of Allah). So When he was reached Madina and there he was
granted the title (qitab) of Mashooq Rabbani ( the lover of Allah ) due
to the kindness and nobility of Allahs last prophet and he was asked to
proceed and visit Deccan (South India ) for the preaching and
propagation work of Islam in that foreign land .So asked the disciples
and followers to start preparation for the journey. So Shaikh Kamal
Darwish has started the preparations for the journey and Hasan bin
Ahmed was left there and who was famous for his miracles and
revelations and his grave is available in Madina city.
The journey of Deccan (South India).
The next day after the above event he was started on his journey
towards the Deccan area. In the year 916 Hegira Or 917 Hegira. He was
reached in the Warangal city along with many of the disciples and
Darwish persons during the period of Sultan Quli Qutub Shah who was
the ruler of the Golconda Kingdom at that time. During his long journey,
there were many miracles and revelations were happening and for this
reason, many persons accepted the religion of Islam and they were
becoming his disciples and devotees and many hundred following
persons are included among them.1.Holy persons.2.Ahle Allah
(saints).3.Majzoob (one lost in divine meditation).
There were seventy or eighty elephants with him and they were also
reached Warangal and on them, the luggage of followers and Darwish

12

persons was loaded. During his journey in India due to his miracles, the
landlords used to offer him elephants with chains due to their devotion.
During his journey from Madina city to India by ship, there was a
strong as well as heavy storm so the ship was in great danger condition
so all passengers were disappointed in their lives and were requested the
Sheikh to pray in this matter. Upon his prayer, the storm was stopped
and the ship was reached safely to the seaport. When he was near the
Deccan area one landlord came to visit him upon hearing his miracles
and favours and was brought to his blind son before the Sheikh and was
requested him for his prayer in this matter. So the Sheikh has prayed in
this matter and put his palm on the blind boys face and the boy was
recovered, his sight immediately and due to this miracle the whole
family members of the landlord have accepted the religion of Islam.
During this journey, there was heavy rainfall and the Sheikh and his
devotees were far away from populated (Abadi) area so the Sheikh asked
them to mark on the earth around them so they did the same. For this
reason, there was heavy rainfall around them but the caravan of holy
persons was not suffered by the heavy rainfall in the line marked area
of the ground. During the journey, there was a river so it was very
difficult to cross it. So the Sheikh was entered into the river on his
horse and for this reason, the river was stopped immediately and there
became a way for all of them so the caravan persons were passed the
river safely and they also proceed further by walking on the water due
to the Sheikhs miracle. When the local landlord came to know the
above details of the Sheikhs miracle he became Muslim and offered
him many gifts and presents. At that time the Lodi king was ruling on
the throne of Delhi Kingdom.
Stay in Somawarm village.

13

First he was arrived in Warangal city and from there he was

proceeded directly towards Somawaram village which is 16 miles away
on the southern side from the city of Warangal and where he was
staying there for a period of 12 years on the hillside and he was busy
there in the standing position in the meditation of Anwar Haq (the lights
of Allah). When he came to Somaram village one blind weaver person
visited him upon knowing his miracles and was requested him for his
prayer in this matter so he put his palm on his face and due to this
reason he was recovering his sight and due to this event many thousand
local people accepted the religion of Islam.
One day while brushing his teeth he put his miswak (tooth brush)
stick in the earth and after some days it was developed and it has
become green and after some days it was developed like a tree. The
senior persons of Somaram village who have stated that in the year
1338 Hegira the miswak tree was available before 40 years in the
village and after that, it has become older and has fallen down due to
the storm. It is well known that the Sheikhs strict instructions were there
that nobody should not visit him while he will be busy in the worship
unless he will call somebody. Once as per his practice he was busy in the
worship of Allah and he was in such condition for some days and so he
did not call any person during his period of meditation. For this reason,
disciples and devotees have become upset and worried in this matter
and they were approached his caliph Shah Kamal Darwish in this
connection. So the caliph consoled all of them and he went into the
presence of the Sheikh and saw him busy in Mushada Jamal (divine
elegance) and he was watching of the Ghaib (invisible) and for this
reason, his condition was as follows. 1.Mutagayar (change) 2.Digradon
(serious) 3.Haibat (fear)

14

For the above conditions, he could not dare to disturb the Sheikh and
was returned back from there to his place and was explained the
conditions of the Sheikh to the devotees and disciples and so for this
reason he was consoled all of them in this matter. After many days his
condition of engrossment (Muhevat) was ended and the Sheikh was
calling his disciples and devotees and was instructed them to start
preparation for the journey to proceed towards the city of Warangal in
Deccan (South India) area in India.
The journey of Urs village.
As per the Sheikhs instructions when preparations were ready then
the Sheikh along with his caravan of disciples and devotees were
proceeding towards Urs village and in the olden days it was known as
Qazipura village. During this journey when Urs village was 6 miles
away then the Sheikh took out away his sandals (nalian) from his foot
and proceeded towards bare footed with much care and attention and
nobody didn't dare to ask the reason in this matter. So the Sheikh himself
was asked Shah Kamal Darwish Baba Kamal come near to me so that I
could explain the facts in this matter. When Shah Kamal went near him
so he was asked him to put his head into his armpit and to see and so
Shah Kamal was saw many thousand pure souls of martyrs were
coming in the large number there and meeting with the Sheikh. So the
reason of his bare foot walk of the journey was explained in this way to
his disciples and caliph Sheikh Kamal Darwish.
Stay on the mountain of Urs village.
From Somaram village, he was proceeded for his stay in Qaizpura
village which is five miles away from Warangal city. As per reference
from the book Miskawat Nabiya in which it was quoted reference from
the other book Anwar Aqbar that Hazrat Mashooq Rabbani R.A. on his

15

arrival in the Urs village from Somawarm village and he was beginning
his worship upon the mountain in Hanmakonda village for a period of 12
years. Where there was a Hindu Jogi (worshipper) who was very
powerful there in the worship of the idols and he was used to commit
many harmful acts and he was used to residing on the mountain which
was 4 miles away from Hanmakonda mountain. Due to Sheikhs arrival,
the Jogi was very upset and angry and due to his ill will the Jogi
(worshipper) thrown a big stone on the forehead of the Sheikh by his
magic power and which fell near him without any harm and injury to the
Sheikh. At that time he was busy in meditation and the big stone was
fall near the forehead of the Sheikh and due to the grace of Allah he
was stopped the big stone with his finger and his finger impression is
still available on the stone and that place is known as Chilla (mark) and
that stone is also preserved even today and that big stone was in
hanging position due to the Sheikhs miracle and afterwards it was
supported by stone and soil. When the visitors used to see that stone
and will feel a sense of great peace and satisfaction in this matter.
After failure of the above bad deed the Jogi (worshipper) has become
ashamed in this matter and so, for this reason, he made a big python by
his magic power and was instructed the python to kill the Sheikh but
when the big python came near the Sheikh but he was stopped the
python by the sign of his first finger so, for this reason, the python
becomes restless and also become fret and fume and could not move
further. When the Sheikh was completed his daily recital and practice
and he has marked some lines on the back side of python and those lines
were transferred to the mountain stone and still those marks are
available on the mountain stone. Due to the above two great miracles
the Jogi (worshipper) was accepted the religion of Islam and till his life,
he was in the Sheikhs service and benefited from his great favours and

16

attention and his stone grave is available at the foot side of the
Sheikhs mausoleum.
Stay in Urs village.
After this miracle he was getting down from the hill and was
proceeding towards Qazipura (Urs) village and went towards the tomb
of Qazi Ziauddin who was martyred during the period of Sultan
Tughlaq of Delhi Kingdom and upon recitation of Fatiha (first verse in
the holy Quran) he was asked his permission and for the grant of some
land to enable him to stay there and upon grant of permission from Qazi
Sahibs soul he was decided to settle down there. The Qazi Sahibs soul
was told him that his position is like a sun and his position is like a
lamp before him. So if he will settle down in this land then the light of
the lamp will not be continued in the presence of the sun. The Sheikh
has replied him that Oh : Qazi this is careful thought that my
children will perform the formalities of aoud (aloeswood) and flowers in
your shrine area. Afterward, the soul of Qazi Saheb congratulated the
Sheikh for the place and for this reason the Sheikh was settled down
here. He settled down there by permission of Qazi Sahib and he was
pointing his final resting place by fixing his staff on the ground which
is 150 yards away from the mausoleum of Qazi Sahib.
Qazi Ziauddin was proceeded with the armies of Delhi king
Mohammed Bin Tughlaq for the expedition of Warangal Kingdom and
died in the war and for this reason that village is known as Qazipura
village but due to several Urs (death anniversaries) of Hazrat Mashooq
Rabbani R.A. this village was becoming very famous and well known
as Urs Jagir village.
Marriages and sons.

born and out of them two sons and one daughter were died in the early
ages because of their miracles. And their graves are available on the
left side of the mausoleum of Hazrat Mashooq Rabbani R.A.
The miracles of sons.
One day the Sheikh after morning prayer upon completion of daily
recital was entered in the residential building and watched there that his
two sons were sitting on the wall with sticks in their hands and the wall
was moving like a high-speed horse so for this reason he was told that
in the childhood to disclose the secrets of fakirs are not good. So he
asked his sons to pray nafil (supererogatory) prayer after ablution. So as
per his instruction they prayed after ablution and they died in the
condition of prostration.

One day his daughter was combing her hairs so there were falling
flowers from the right side of her hairs and sparks were falling from the
left side of her hairs . Due to the above condition, he told her Baby

was requested
the Khwaja Saras (emasculate servants) of the
mausoleum to allow him to enter into mausoleum but they were refused
his request and not allowed him to enter into the mausoleum of Allahs
last holy prophet. So he told them that he is the grandson of the last
prophet of Allah so he should be given permission to enter into the
mausoleum. So they were told him that they will mark his dress with
sandal colour and if that mark will be appearing on the mausoleum then
he will be allowed to enter there.
But the mark of sandal colour was appeared on the mausoleum but
the servants of the mausoleum were telling him that they will lock the
mausoleum building during night hours and if you are the grandson of

he was accepted their condition and he was standing at the foot side of
the mausoleum of Allahs last prophet and
he was called Oh
grandfather, Oh grandfather and was heard the reply from the
mausoleum My son, My son and in this way he was entered into the

Once Hazrat went to the Hajj along with his son so for this reason his
wife was told him that She will allow her son for the Hajj on one
condition that her son will be her Amanat (entrusted thing) with him
during the Hajj pilgrimage so he should return back the boy to her upon

prayed as follows. Oh :Allah you are Malik (God) and Mukhtar
(empowered) and this boy belongs to Amatnt (entrusted thing) of my

32

wife so allow me some more time in this matter so that he should be

able to hand over the boy to his wife. The prayer was accepted by Allah
and the boy become alive immediately. Hazrat came back to his

was granted by Sultan Abdullah Quli Qutub Shah in the name of
Fatima Sultana and in the documents of an estate in which it was
mentioned as Fatima Sabiya Syed Nazer Ali so it may possibly that Syed
Nazer Ali belongs to the royal officer in the Kingdom of Golconda and
there was such mistake which was happened by that officer in this
matter so his name was also available in this document.

Once the local ruler has cut and taken away all grass around the Urs
village so, for this reason, the Sheikh was upset and angry in this matter
and instructed him not to cut the grass in the village area of Urs but the
local ruler was not respected his instruction and cut all the grass and put
the same before his animals and upon eating the grass all animals of the
local rulers were died immediately. So for this reason the local ruler was
upset and worried in this matter and was approaching the Sheikh and

such acts again and the local ruler left the Sheikh and was reached back
his place and was surprised to see that all animals were alive by the great
miracle of the Sheikh.

Sahebs one of his courtier who was member of Kharji (dissenting from
Hazrat Ali Bin Taleb) sect told the Nawab that the Sheikh belongs to
Shia community member and he was spreading his religion in the
Kingdom so for this reason the Nawab Sahib was asked that person to
stop his indecent conversation. Anyhow the Sheikh of his time left the
Nawabs palace and when he comes to know the details of this event
from some source so he was immediately approached the Nawab sahibs
palace and the Nawab Sahib was asked the Sheikhs reason of his visit
then he told him that he was happy to see him and prayed for his welfare
and ask his permission to leave from there so the Nawab sahib was
requested him to stay there for some more time so that he will be
benefitted in his holy company.
So the Sheikh told him that in such meetings where there will be disapproval of fakirs then there was no need of fakir to stay there. If Allah
wills such person will die in the very bad condition of trouble and

39

problem. So the Sheikh said the above and was leaving the Nawab
Sahibs palace. After some time of the Sheikhs departure that the man
suffered heavily due to pain in his stomach and there was a discharge of
urine and stool started from his mouth and while crying like a dog he
died immediately in worse condition.
In his company famous and well known as well as reliable learned
persons and fakirs used to present there. Whatever there will be presents
and gifts were received then he will be used to distribute such gifts and
presents among poor and needy persons. He used to say that it is
necessary for the fakir to distribute whatever he gets from others and he
should not keep anything for himself. So for this reason at the time of
his death, there was nothing available in his house.
At the time of his funeral one green unknown horse mounted person
came there from the west side and he was standing at the rear side of
his grave and read the following Persian couplets and he went away
