The short Biography of Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Shah Nizam RZ ...

“Where had you gone? How did you meet Fateh Khan? Tellthe truth!” The brother confessed, “I had gone to the market tobuy something and I heard some commotion. I stood there andsaw Fateh Khan coming. He first said Salaam to me then askedme to convey his Salaam and Qadambosi to Khundkar.” TheShah RZ replied, “He wasn’t alone. Perhaps he was marchingwith his band and soldiers. And you stayed there to watch thecircus. So much so that he saw you and said Salaam. As per theQuran you are a seeker of the world (Talib-e-Duniya).” Sayingso, the Shah RZ expelled him from the Daira. The brother laycrying at the entrance of the Daira for three days and nights.Six brothers of the Daira went to the Shah RZ and pleaded forhis forgiveness. The Shah RZ expelled the six brothers too. Theseven brothers along with their families stayed in the hot sunoutside the Daira. This news reached Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ .He came to the Shah RZ and asked him to accept their apology.The Shah RZ relented. They were given eighty lashes andadmitted to the Daira.*One day two brothers came to Miyan Shah Nizam RZ to becomehis Murids and to get talqeen. He gave talqeen to one brotherimmediately and asked the second brother to come the nextday. The man came the next day and Miyan Shah Nizam RZperformed his tarbiat. Miyan Abdur Rahman RZ asked what thewisdom in this was. Miyan Shah Nizam RZ said, “When we sawhis forehead we saw that he was maqbool (accepted). Then,when we saw the Preserved Tablet (Lauh-e-Mahfooz) we sawthat he was maqbool (accepted). We then saw the ancientdivine knowledge (Ilm-e Qadeem) and saw that he wasmardood (rejected). We then pleaded before Allah and got itchanged to maqbool in the Ilm-e-Qadeem. Then we did histarbiat.”*In Gujarat, Miyan Manjuji Wazeer had undergone tarbiat atthe feet of Miyan Shah Nizam RZ . He loved his master verymuch. He served the fuqara and helped the poor. He used tospend his nights in remembrance of Allah because of which hehad gained some insight. He got carried away by this and usedto perform the Sunnat at home and sit there and would come tothe mosque after hearing the Iqamat and he would not miss thetakbir-e-oola. One day he was coming like this when MiyanShah Nizam RZ signaled with his hand not to come. He stoppedimmediately and after the namaz was completed he entered themosque and completed his prayers on his own. Then MiyanShah Nizam RZ told him, “Miracles are impermissible in thecommunity of Mahdi AS . Become a Mard-e-Kasabi [man whoachieves with his efforts]. That is, do kasab (work) and reachAllah. Allah’s bestowal was on prophets and on us. Upon youis kasab.” Thus after a long time Manjuji left his employment,came to Burhanpur and became an employee of Sultan AdilMubarak Shah. When leaving for his new job, he pleadedbefore Miyan Shah Nizam RZ , “Khundkar, Please ensure that Ido not be deprived of the mercy of Allah and I be amongst thepeople of Khundkar and Mahdi AS .” Miyan Shah Nizam RZreplied, “Insha Allah, this servant promises you that if thisservant sees your death approaching, he will inform you sixmonths before your death.” A long time passed. When Allahinformed Miyan Shah Nizam RZ about Manjuji’s impendingdeath, the Shah RZ sent two brothers to inform Manjuji that hehad six months to live and he should come to the daira andrepent (tauba). The brothers did not find Manjuji in his house3637
