PIR SYED JAMAAT ALI SHAH

Hazrat Pir Sayyid Jamaat Ali Shah Sahib quds-sirruhu (c.1840 -1951)

of Alipur Sharif, Sialkot, Pakistan. The Shaikh was one of the great

saints of the Punjab and a Sayyid also from both maternal and

paternal sides of his family. His ancestors, all Sufi masters

themselves, hailed from Shiraz in Iran and came to the Subcontinent

when one of them accompanied Emperor Humayoun back to Delhi

after his exile in Iran where Humayoun had originally met him. The

Shaikh's ancestors honoured the court of Humayoun with theirpresence but when Akbar began to deviate from the religion of Islam

and announced his Din i Ilaahi they left the imperial court in protest.

Akbar was loathe to see such saintly persons go but they were

adamant and so he granted them a piece of land in Alipur area as a

parting honour. Here the Shaikh's ancestors settled in the

subcontinent and their descendants have remained there ever since.

Hazrat Jamaat Ali Shah Sahib was renowned for his saintliness even

as a young child and after completing his religious studies (he wasan expert in all of the branches of fiqh but especially in the Sciences

of Hadith) he went throughout the width and breadth of the

subcontinent working tirelessly for Islam and the Muslims. He laid the

foundation stones--and funded-- hundreds of mosques throughout

the Subcontinent from Peshawar to Hyderabad, Deccan. He was a

leading personality in all of the major movements of that time such as

the Khilafat movement and he was especially active against the Arya

Samaj movement and helped to save the iman of countless Muslims

with his tireless efforts. He also was one of the key defenders of theAhle Sunnah faith against the rise of Qadianism and also was an

opponent of the reform movements like that of the Wahhabis.

He had a wonderful, awe-inspiring personality and was gentle and

loving towards all, yet was afraid of no one when it came to defending

the religion of Allah's Messenger sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam; this is

demonstrated by his leadership of the Muslims during the Shahid

Ganj Mosque incident where the Shaikh led the opposition to the

plans of the British rulers in Lahore as well as his refusal to pray

behind the official Wahhabi Imams in the Haramain appointed by King

Saud and his refusal to visit the King when he was ordered to do soto explain: "I am a faqeer, he is a king" was his famous reply. In the

end it was Saud who relented and allowed the Shaikh to pray by

himself! He received medals from the Sultan of Ottoman Turkey for

his services to Islam and for his amazing generosity in helping the

people of Madina during a drought there for which he received the

title "Abu'l Arab".

However, apart from his vast learning, it was as a Sufi shaykh that the

saint was loved by the populace and it is estimated that he had over 1

million Murids [disciples] from Afghanistan to the southern tip of

India; he received the Khirqa [cloak] from his Shaikh very soon after

taking Bayah [pledge of spiritual allegience] and was thus the

representative of his Shaykh early on. He was authorized to accept

Murids into many Sufi Orders but it was as a Naqshbandi Master that

he is famous for, carrying the great secret of this Order. He

transformed the lives of countless people and sinners repented at his

hands by the thousand and many others themselves reached the

highest levels of spiritual development by his attention. His

Karaamaat [miracles] are too many to recount and there are many

eye-witnesses to them.

He was extremely generous and magnanimous towards all, especially

the poor, and he would not eat alone and the poor had been invited to

share his table with him. Though possessing great family wealth the

Shaikh spent it all on Islam and the poor, himself living frugally in the

manner of the great Naqshbandi Sufis of the past.Posted by YA PEER JAMAAT ALIat9:38 AM
