The '''Madari''' are a Muslim community found in [[North India]]. They are a community of Muslim [[Faqir]]s.<ref name="autogenerated335">People of India Hayana, Vol. XXIII M.L Sharma and A.K Bhatia (Eds.), pp. 335–375 Manohar Publications</ref>

== Origin ==

The Madari are followers of a celebrated [[Sufi]] saint Zinda Shah of Makanpur in [[Awadh]]. His real name was Syed Badiuddin. Shad Madar was his title. Madar means the pole of Universe. He was born in [[Aleppo]] in Syria. The saint is said to still be alive, hence his nickname of ''Zinda Shah'' or the living king. According to their traditions, Zinda Shah Madar left Syria some thousand years ago for propogada of peace, universal brotherhood and spreading the message of Muhammed, and settled in the village of Makanpur. The followers of the Sufi Tradition of Zinda Shah Madar are known as Madaris. They are very much different from the Hindi Terminology 'Madari' which means monkey bearers of street performers. The Genelogy of Khadims (Care Taker of Dargah) originates from Muhammed and the Madariya Sufi Brotherhood follows the Piri Muridi Tradition. (The Spiritual Leader and Disciple Tradition)

However, other sources including the sajjad-nasheen, physical and spiritual descendants of Zinda Shah, claim that Zinda Shah of Makanpur was a Syed, descendant of Muhammad.
The Zinda Shah sajjad-nasheen have Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar's family tree shows his lineage from Muhammad.<ref>[http://www.zindashahmadar.org/family_tree.html The Family Tree (Shijrah)]. zindashahmadar.org</ref>'''

Madariya:

Madariyya is the name of a Sufi order founded by Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar(radi Allah anhu), He is a prominent sufi saint whose tomb is situated in Makanpur, near Kanpur city in the State of Uttar Pradesh in INDIA.
He was born in 242 Hijri, and lived for 576 yrs, When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar(radi Allah anhu was 14 years of age, he had completed the education and he asked his father Sayed kazi kidwattuddin ali halbi (radi Allah anhu that he wishes to merge in the Jaffariya chain.

That thought also encouraged him to say before his parents that there are two main tasks to be done in his life one is towards the almighty Allah and other is towards the parents. Hence he requested them to let him go into the way of Islam and spread the teachings of Islam amongst others. He was permitted by his parents for the task with the answer that we free you from our rights and let you in the hands of the almighty Allah.

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was the Khalifa of Sultanul Arifeen Hazrat Bayjid Bustami (radiAllah anhu) when they met Sultanul Arifeen Hazrat Bayjid Bustami(radiAllah anhu) said that Badiuddin, I was waiting for you. I used to see a miraculous light here, but now that I had seen you I believe that the light I had seen is you.

Mureed (Disciple) of Hazrat Sayed Bayazid Bustami Sahib:

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar (radiAllah anhu) got fame in the region that there is a true follower of Islam here in the people, and that he is sure a wali of Allah, who is an example into himself. When this news reached Hazrat Sayed Bayazid Bustami(radiAllah anhu), he invited Hazrat Shah Madar Sahib(radiAllah anhu) to his place.

In the first meeting he kissed the forehead and eyes of Madar Sahib (radiAllah anhu) and said that in a dream he saw that The Prophet (may peace be upon him) in one gathering has ordered Bustami (radiAllah anhu) that very soon you will meet a man whose name will be Ahmad Badiuddin(radiAllah anhu). So when you meet him you should offer him all the teachings that you have earned, as it is his authority. So I am ready to do so.

After that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar(radiAllah anhu) was pledged with the Tayfooriya chain and was being said as Silsila-e-Tayfooriya. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar(radiAllah anhu) accepted the fellowship of the Bayazid(radiAllah anhu), and he continued the journey towards Makkah and performed the Hajj. After that he stayed there for some days. One day when he was doing the Tawa'af of the Kaba shareef when he heard a voice saying that: "Badiuddin, you should leave for Madina. Hearing this it was the extent of his curiosity and he left immediately towards Madina.

Note: Junaid Baghdadi has said in his sayings about Hazrat Afreen Bayazid Bustami((radiAllah anhu) that his status in the walies is the most prominent one. Where all the ways towards the followers of the almighty ends, there starts the beginning of the Bayjid chain.
Hazrat Abu Sayed Al Khair has said that he has seen that the Bayazid is the follower of truth.

The author of Najmul Huda Qutbul Wara narrates that when the moon of the month of Moharram 242 A.H. appeared, then Shaikh’s mother Bibi Fatima Sania saw in a dream that a sun is rising in her courtyard and soon all of a sudden it starts shining brightly. It rays spread to near and far places. His father Qazi Sayyed Ali Halabi dreams that the Prophet Mohammad has manifested himself and guiding him in his dream” O Ali soon Allah would bestow you a noble and obedient son who would be a famous grate vali of his age and he would be famed as Badiuddin. On that very night the light of a Shaikh’s life had entered into the abdomen of Fatima Sania from Sayyed Ali Halabi.

Tradition of Bismillah Khwani:

At the time when Shaikh Madar attained the age of four years, four months and four days his father entrusted him to the renowned theologian of the time Allama Sadeeduddin Huzaifa Mar’ashi Shami for education and training. The respected teacher started education with Bismillah Hirrahman Irrahim and he was a fully amazed to see his intellect and gifted talent. On seeing his exceptional abilities the teacher expressed Haza vali Allah, HazaVahi Allah (This boy is Allah’s vali, He is Allah’s vali). Shaikh Madar excelled in Quran, Hadees, Commentary Jurisprudence and religious sciences at a tender age of fourteen years.

The prophet Khizr adorned him with Ilme-Laduni. Among the sciences of the prophets he learnt about the rare sciences like Kimiya, Simiya, Rimiya and Heemiya.



Shaikh Madar at the Court of Sultanat Arefin: (Shaikh Bayazid Bustani):

When Shaikh Qutbul Madar accomplished himself in Ulum-e-Zahera (The Science of knowing outward qualities) after that he learnt about Ulum-e-Batin (The Science of knowing inward qualities). His father permitted him and he gave Khilafat of his ancestral Silsila Jafaria Husainia to him. One night Shaikh Madar saw in a dream that pilgrims are gathered at the place of Arafat. He became very impatient at the sight of this marvelous spectacle and wished to pay a religious visit to the holy Mecca and Madina. He restlessly passed whole night and came to seek permission to visit Mecca and Madina from his father in the morning. He moved on feet after seeking permission. On the way he was busy at a place in prayer then an angel gave him a happy news that you are awaited at Jerusalem. You please be there Shaikh Madar made a move from this place to Jerusalem, Sultanul Arefin Bayazidi Bustami (May God be pleased with him) was waiting for him there. The moment Sultanul Arefin had a look at Shaikh Madar-he kept seeing him for quite sometime and at last embraced him as a separated soul was meeting after a long time. Hazrat Bayazid honoured at Shaikh Madar by doing bait and also bestowed upon him his Khilafat and Nisbats of Taifurya Siddiqiya. Shaikh Madar spent a long time in training with Sultanul Arefin and under his guidance he completed the stages of mysticism with the permission of his master he left to Mecca and Madina and performed Haj (pilgrimage) at holy Mecca. He intended to go to Madina after completing duties of Haj and on reaching the prophet Mohammad’s place he visited sacred rights and Gumbad-e-Khizra Shaikh Madar was exalted with these holy visits.

One night Shaikh Madar was busy in prayer close to the tomb of the Prophet Mohammad. He was the most fortunate that the Prophet Mohammad manifested himself and bestowed and increased rewards for him. The Prophet having entrusted him to Hazrat Ali for further education and training ordered that O Ali take this son of yours and bring him back to me after adorning him with the knowledge of devine matters and truths. The Prophet also commanded the holy spirit of Hazrat Imam Mehdi to train this young one in Spirituality. Obeying the orders the holy spirit of Hazrat Imam Mehdi started spiritual training and taught him the books like Samaviya Taurait, Zubur, Injeel and Quran. After making him the most perfect he presented him to Hazrat Ali and said now this young has been able to guide. Hazrat Ali accomplished Hazrat Madar with spiritual training and took him in the presence of the Prophet Mohammad. The Prophet showered more special blessings on him and familiarize him with true Islam. The Prophet ordered “O Badiuddin. How get ready to march and spread Allah’s Kalima in Hindustan by preaching Islam lighten the hearts of Indian people with the light of Tauheed and Lighten the lamp with the light of Wahidat”. Familarize the inhabitants of that country with the essence of Islam and Iman. I am feeling smell of Iman from Hindustan.

With the Prophet’s permission and having faith in Allah Shaikh Badiuddin decided to travel to India without any sufficient goods. He used to be on fast the whole day and in the evening two breads were received from Ghaib (invisibility) of which he ate and gave the other in alms. He came to the shores of Jaddah traveling through in sacred city of Hejaz and different parts of Arab. He boarded a ship which was heading towards India.

On board he endeavoured to educate the fellow travelers about believing in one God and conveyed to them the Kalima-e-Haq Lallaha Illallah Mohammadur RasulAllah. Since the travelers on board were infidels, the light of Wahidat could not affect their hearts and all of them refused to believe in Allah. Sarkar Madar Pak’s heart was severally pained with this attitude of fellow travelers. Allah Tala could not see the inflicted heart of his beloved vali and with Allah’s will and anger there occurred a huge storm in the sea. The ship drawened in water after being torn into pieces. There appeared a plank sheikh Madar sat on it and reached 282 hijri Khambat in Gujarat with the help of Allah.

The Shaikh’s condition had worsened due to appetite and thirst and his clothes became untidy with the salty water of the sea. He prayed O Allah do something that I would not feel thirst and appetite and my clothes would not get dirty. The prayer was granted by Allah. A practitioner calls Badiuddin please come with me, you are awaited. The same call was repeated three times. He looked everywhere but in caller was not seen. The Shaikh addressed to the proclaimer, O Caller please appear before me”. His eyes witnessed that a Prophet Khizir had appeared before him. He says that Badiuddin please come with me to the land of Khambat. That place is still famous as Chillahigah of the Prophet Khizr and Chillahgah of the Prophet Khizr and Chillahgah of Sayyed Badiuddin Shah Madar.

Shaikh Madar moved to a specific place with the Prophet Khizr. He sees that specific place with the Prophet Khizr. He sees that adjacent to the sea there is a canal. He went down the canal and on crossing it reached to a beautiful garden. There was a magnificent palace in the garden and in the courtyard of the palace in a lightening and studded throne was spread on which the Prophet Mohammad was sitting. The Shaikh was presented in the service of the Prophet Mohammad and in the presence of his noble ancestors the Shaikh was receiving Mohammadia and Ahmadia rewards. He was being bestowed special degrees and posts. The Prophet Mohammad clothed him a dress with his own holy hands and fed him nine mouthful of meals from the kingdom of heavan.

Hazrat Ghulam Ali Farooqi Naq Shbawdi Mujadadi Dehlavi writes in Durrul Mua’rif that after this Shaikh Madar obtained Maqam-e-Samadiyat (Eternal Position). From now on he neither felt thirst nor appetite and the same dress was enough for him for the whole of his life. Neither it got dirty nor it got old. The Prophet Mohammad performed Masah on his face with his own hands and now his face became so illuminating that it was not possible for a person to confront him. The one who see him remembers Allah and falls down faintly in Sajda That is why Shaikh Madar used to veil his face.

Hazrat Shaikh Abdul Haque Mohaddis Dehlavi narrates in Akhbarul Akhyar Fi Asrarul Abrar that whosoever looked at the beauty of his face fell down in Sajda and why such a thing should not happen as it is very famous that Vahi is the one to whome a person sees and remembers Allah after seeing him. It is related by Hazrat Sahabia Asma daughter of Yazid in the famous book on hadees Ibu Maja and Tibrani that the Prophet Mohammad said should I not tell you about those who are the best amongst you? Who are they? The companions requested “O Allah’s messenger do tell us”, then the Prophet said the best away you are those to whom you see and remember Allah. The Prophet told a complete commentary of this holy Hadees to Shaikh Madar. His auspicious into a shining star. He put his forehead down into Sajda to thank in Prophet and as he took his head back from Sajda, he found himself alone there. Either it was Arsh (the throne of God) on which the Prophet had manifested himself a little while ago or they were the presents which were being to him by the Prophet. Now the highest positions and dignitcs had been bestowed upon him and preaching of Islam was made compulsory for him

Description
The dargah Shareef of the great saint Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar is situated in Makanpur, near Kanpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in INDIA. Pilgrims Travel to Makanpur by bus services and jeeps from the Kanpur City railway station. Other way to reach by airlines is from Lucknow.

Makanpur was originally known as Khairabad in 818 Hijri according to the Islamic calender. The province was florished with the arrival of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar and got fame and developed as years passed. It is said that this province was named as Khairabad after Hazrat Khairuddin (R.A) by Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar.

This name was changed to Makanpur, when Hazrat Khairuddin (R.A) was crowned with the title of 'Makkan Sarbaaz' by the great saint Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar.

The Tomb of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was built by the Emperor Ibrahim Sharki Jaunpuri and some of the work was carried out by the Emperor Humayun too. He gave most of his wealth in charity after conquering Kannauj. Monuments made by Emperor Akbar and Emperor Shahjahaan still stand in the dargah compound.

Most of the constructions were done by Emperor Alamgeer (R.A) which attract the attentions of the pilgrims today, in which are Alamgeeri Mosque, Alamgeeri well, Alamgeeri Sarai, the Bridge over the Isan river and the Road to Makanpur from Kannauj.

There are two Deg (vessels) in the compound of the dargah premises. The bigger one is known as the Shahjahaani Deg which is made of copper, and the smaller one was placed by the king Datya of Madhya Pradesh.

Only some prominent members of the dargah shareef are allowed to enter the tomb which was constructed by Emperor Ibrahim Sharki and no women can enter the Haram-e-Saani nor anyone is allowed to take the Chirag or cooked food in this area. If any female attempts to enter the Haram-e-Saani, she get annoyed and irritated as if she has caught fire. This type of miraculous activities are still seen in this present era.


Birth Place of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Kutubul Madar was born in the Halab city of Shaam (now known as Syria).

The Halab city is famous and holy in Syria. It is said that once there was a hill where now exists a fort. It is on this hill that Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had milked his goats and this process of milking in arabic is known as Halab, so the name Halab was given to this city. Syria is the neighbour of the Arab countries, which is known as the Gulf region these days. The Gulf region is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the red sea and the deserts. The region that lies from the seashores of Syria to the deserts of Yemen is called as "Hijaaj". The holy cities of Makkah, Taif yasraf and Madina are parts of this region, which is related to the life of the Prophet

This is the same Makkah city from where Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) gave the peace messages and enlightened the lamps of mercy in the darkness of humanity. This is the same Taif, where people stoned the prophet, but instead He prayed and showered love upon them. May it be the sacrifice of Ansar, or the dedication of the Mujahireen, or the merciful personalities of the Momin with kindness, or the holy natures of the Panjatans; this treasure of Islam has eliminated in this world through Madina itself.

It is the precious gift to this Hijaaj region that in that era when there was lack of resources water in this region, Hazrat Ibrahim (R.A) had settled his son Hazrat Ismail in the city of Makkah. In the same way it is a prestige for Shaam (Syria) that Hazrat Ismail resided his son Hazrat Is'haq.

The first ever military attack on Shaam was in protest against the khaleefa Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiqui. The day when Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddiqui expired, the Islamic forces entered Damishk but Shaam was completely conquered in the governance of Hazrat Umar Farooq. In Hijri 17 according to the Islamic calendar the Muslims were victorious in Shaam. Impressed with the teachings of Islam, its specialities and the kind characters of the Muslims, many of the dwellers accepted Islam and this resulted in the spreading of Islam. So it can be said that Islam reached this region in the existing life of the Prophet itself.

It is this country Shaam, where Hazrat Bilal (R.A) had spent days of his life when he found hard to live his life after getting separated from the Prophet.

The birth of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar

In Hijri 242, according to the Islamic calendar, it was a pleasant Monday morning. It was Eid and the rays of the sun had not yet touched the skies, the twilight was about to share its beauty in the city and the darkness of the night was about to vanish. The cool wind was blowing as if it is singing with charm and the atmosphere was enlightened with the fragrance of the blossoms. Hazrat Ali Halbi's house was is expecting a heir in the arms of Fatma Saniya, who will fill the world with his charm.

Hazrat Sayed Idrees Halbi says that when Madar was born, he bowed before Allah and recited the Kalima-e-Shahadat. At the instance there was light everywhere in the house. It is stated that the Prophet along with his friends and Hazrat Khizr visited their house and greeted Fatima Saniya and her husband for the birth of the child. At this time there were chanting of the Quranic verses in the atmosphere. Everyone who looked at the child said that the child is a gift of the almighty Allah. The body seems to be made of light, as if rays are coming out of the body.

With great charm Hazrat Ali Halbi named the child as Badi'uddin Ahmad.

Fatima Saniya, mother of Hazrat Badi'uddin said that when she was pregnant, if she would place any suspicious item in her mouth then she used to get pain in the stomach and sounds were heard. She added that when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was an infant and only mother's milk was his feed, then he never feeded if the mother was not in wazu. When he was crying for some reason and if at the same time the Azaan is heard, he used to be quiet and listen to it carefully. Same thing happened when he heard the recitation of the Quran Shareef by anyone. For this everyone used to say that this kid is a Wali since birth.



The tradition of Bismillah

It was time when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had reached the age of four years, four months and four days that the traditional ceremony of Bismillah was celebrated. (This tradition is celebrated till date in Makanpur )

After the ceremony, Hazrat Ali Halbi decided to educate Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar so he handed him to the that time great philosopher Hazrat Sadiduddin Huzaifa .Shami (R A) for his studies. Hazrat Shami started teaching Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar with the word "Bismillah Ir-Rahman Ir-Rahim", then he was taught to say "Aleef" (it is the first alphabet in Arabic). The teacher was so amazed with his student, as he used to ask each and every mean of the alphabet. (when it is used, where it is used, how it is pronounced, etc). Once the teacher himself said that this is a Wali of the almighty Allah.

Note: In the book "Gulzar-e-Madar", the author Maulana Sayed Mehmood has written that Hazrat Huzaifa Sayed himself has stated that one day in a dream Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to him and said:" his child is a Wali of the almighty Allah and is from my origin. So please care about him and pay attention on him".

Anyway in the age of 14, Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had memorised the Quran Shareef and had read its existence values as well he got knowledge of other religious topics. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar also had the knowledge of the Rimia, Kimia, Himia and the Simia traditions. ( Himia is such a science, which is comparative to magic, Rimia is the science which ables a person to change places in no time, Simia is the science, which enables a human body to change soul, and Kimia is the study, which turns iron into gold. Many disciples of the madariya chain knew this science. One of those is Hazrat Baba Dariya Maan whose tomb is in Baroda Gujarat. It is said that his soul used to leave his body and whenever he wished it came back in it.

In the book "Taskiratulkram fi Ahwale Khulafa-e-Arbo Islam, it is written that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had the knowledge of all the four books which came from the Paradise.




First hajj

When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was 14 years of age, he had completed the education and he asked his father Sayed kazi kidwattuddin ali halbi that he wishes to merge in the Jaffariya chain. That he would make people to be related to that chain. The thought of hajj arrived in his mind and he took permission from his parents to go to Makkah and Madina.

That thought also encouraged him to say before his parents that there are two main tasks to be done in his life ; one is towards the almighty Allah and other is towards the parents. Hence he requested them to let him go into the way of Islam and spread the teachings of Islam amongst others. He was permitted by his parents for the task with the answer that we free you from our rights and let you in the hands of the almighty Allah.

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar with the permission of his parents started his journey towards Makkah for the hajj pilgrimage with no luggage in his hands. On the way he got through a cave where he spent some days of his life praying and devoting his life towards others and then he left from there. The way to Makkah covered the path through Israel, Philippines, and Jordan ; so when Hazrat Sayed Madar reached Baitul Mukaddas, he met Sultanul Arifeen Hazrat Bayjid Bustami alias Tayfoor Shami. At that time Shami said that Badiuddin, I was waiting for you. I used to see a miraculous light here, but now that I had seen you I believe that the light I had seen is you.

On the 25th page of the book Zulfikar-e-badi, Hazrat khwaja Naseruddin (R.A) had written that when Sayed Badiuddin reached the Baitul Mukaddas that time he met Hazrat Bayjid Bustami, who was master in his miracles. At that time there were some 300 khalifas of Hazrat, and were in deep meditation

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar got fame in the region that there is a true follower of Islam here in the people, and that he is sure a wali of Allah, who is an example into himself. When this news reached Hazrat Sayed Bayjid Bustami, he invited Hazrat Shah Madar Sahib to his place.

In the first meeting he kissed the forehead and eyes of Madar Sahib and said that in a dream he saw that The Prophet (may peace be upon him) in one gathering has ordered Bustami that very soon you will meet a man whose name will be Ahmad Badiuddin. So when you meet him you should offer him all the teachings that you have earned, as it is his authority. So I am ready to do so.

After that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was pledged with the Tayfooriya chain and was being said as Silsila-e-Tayfooriya. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar accepted the fellowship of the Bayjid, and he continued the journey towards Makkah and performed the Hajj. After that he stayed there for some days. One day when he was doing the Tawa'af of the Kaba shareef when he heard a voice saying that: "Badiuddin, you should leave for Madina. Hearing this it was the extent of his curiosity and he left immediately towards Madina.

Note: Junaid Baghdadi has said in his sayings about Hazrat Afreen Bayjid Bustami(R A) that his status in the walies is the most prominent one. Where all the ways towards the followers of the almighty ends, there starts the beginning of the Bayjid chain.
Hazrat Abu Sayed Al Khair has said that he has seen that the Bayjid is the follower of truth.



His first Hajj
The curious times were over and He reached Madina. On reaching the Masjid-e-Nabvi he offered Salaam to The Prophet. On this he got the answer to his salaam from the divine shrine. Madar Sahib spent some days there and then he was handed over to Hazrat Ali Halbi for all the teachings he had to be given to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar.

After he has accomplished the fellowship here, he was handed over in the guidance of Imam Akhiruz-zama. It is said in the book Sairul Madar&rdquo; that Madar Sahib got the teachings from all the four holy books that has evolved in this earth. In that included those books that were sent for the angels and to the souls too. The book for the angels were as : Mirrat, Ainur-rab, Harmajan and Mazhar-e-alf. The books that were showered for the souls were : Rokori, Jahri, Sanari and wolyaan. This way Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madarhad the knowledge of all the books now and with the permission of the Prophet he left for India where he was needed the most.

During this journey Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar used to be in Roza (fasting). He used to get two chappaties with miracle from which he used to donate one, and in eight to ten days he use to eat khajoor (dates) during the Iftaar.





Journey towards India

The people onboard were all very loving and honest. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar started his preaching towards them in the name of Allah the almighty. He let them know about Islam and Allah. Instead the people onboard were annoyed by his sayings and hatred showed on their faces.

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar tolerated them with ease and carried out his mission with all faith. But it was something else that was to happen. The ship got caught in a heavy storm and many of the board were drowned as the cyclone was unbearable. Amongst the left ones however when the weather was calm again, Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar continued with his preaching. Still he was not able to convince the left people as all were worried about their lives and were least bothered to listen to his voice as the cyclone had damaged the ship and it was a hard situation for life.

It was a long journey and the foodstuff was all scattered due to the cyclone. The members onboard were killed due to starvation. Madar prayed to the almighty Allah to look after him that he need not feel hungry or thirsty as he has to survive without any foodstuff. His prayers asked Allah to reach him to the shore as he had to fulfill the words of the Prophet.

When he looked at the skies after the prayers he saw some birds flying, which indicated that he was near to the shore. Alas the shore was visible to him and he reached there safely and the Indian soil was enlightened with his arrival.

When the covered body was revealed there was really a dead dog instead of a man. To this Sultan asked him, “Who are you?”. And the mureed said that his masters name is Hazrat Zinda Shah Madar. The Sultan immediately went to meet Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar as he could not resist himself.

In the book ‘Malfuzaat Shah Mina’, page no 213, it is written that when Hazrat Badi’uddin Zinda Shah Madar stayed in Jaunpur and one Friday when he did not attend the masjid for prayers, Sultan Ibrahim Sharki sent some men to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to call him for the Friday prayers and shower blessings to the ones present in the mosque.

When the king of Kalpi, Kadir Shah came to know of him he tried to visit Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar but was not allowed to go in the house by Ibadul Mulk. On this the king tried to lean inside the house and the wall raised up. He then tried to mount a horse and see inside and the wall rose again, with this event he tried to lean inside by mounting on an elephant but the same act took place again and the wall raised itself high. The king was so angry for this that he went away and ordered that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar should immediately leave his province.

King Kadir Shah got burn marks on his entire body when he left the house of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar in anger. It looked as if he was burnt badly. His master Sirajuddin gave him his own gown through which Kadir Shah felt healthy and was happy for it. When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar knew about this he uttered,” why did Sirajuddin not get burnt”, and what was observed that Sirajuddin got burnt badly. It is from this day that he was being called as Sirajuddin Sokhta (means burnt Sirajuddin). He died with this and his will to his disciples was that he should not be given the holy bath as every dead body gets. So it was decided that only a finger should be washed first.

It is stated in books that when King Kadir Shah wished to meet Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar, he asked his master that he needs to meet Zinda Shah Madar. On this Sirajuddin ordered him not to do so and the king had gone to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar without letting Sirajuddin know of his meet. And when he was not able to meet Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar and ordered him to go away, it was the punishment of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to Kadir that he had burn marks on his body and Sirajuddin tried to heal it without permission of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar, and so he got a punishment that he was buried without the gusl (holy bath).

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar appointed Shah Mina as Qutub

Malfujat Hazrat Shaikh Mina Sahab Lucknawi, page no. 213, it is written that when Madarul Alameen (Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar) had reached Lucknow, a man came to him who’s wife had been suffering from a disease since four months. He pleaded before Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to pray for her recovery as he had great love for his wife and cant live without her. To this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar told him to go and meet Shaikh Shah Mina. When the man told that he didn’t knew Shah Mina and is unknown to him, Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar sent his representative Shaikh Shahabuddin with him with a gift of Jaanamaz and a small bag for Shah Mina. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar said that Shah Mina will be present on the Dargah (tomb) of Hazrat Kawamuddin. He ordered them to present the gift to Shah Mina and ask him to pray for the lady.

With the orders of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar when they reached on the dargah of Hazrat Kawamuddin they found Shaikh Shah Mina (this was during the childhood). Shaikh Shahabuddin gave the gift to him and said: “Madarul Alameen has sent this gift for you and has asked you to pray for this lady”. Immediately Shaikh Shah Mina stood on the Jaanamaz after performing the wazu. He felt the shivering in his feet and asked Shahabuddin to do the prayers for the lady. But Shahabuddin insisted that he pray and with the prayers Shahabuddin would say Ameen(I agree). So Shaikh Shah Mina prayed for the lady and Shaikh Shahabuddin said Ameen. With this the lady was cured from her illness and felt hungry. Rice and vinegar was fetched to her and she felt healthy too. With this miracle Shaikh Shahabuddin stood up and declared that from north to south and east to west, the resident here come under the undertaking of Shaikh Shah Mina.

From then onwards people started coming to Shah Mina to get rid of their sorrows and he prayed for them.

Note that in the book Badiul Ajayab, page 29, it is stated that when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar came to lucknow, Hazrat Kawamuddin in order to know Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar came to him. On seeing a child as a mureed of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar said that “oh, this kid is also here to learn meditation?”. On this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar answered:” Yes, one get that, with which intention he comes here “. With these words Hazrat Kawamuddin got in such a situation that he died when he reached home. Now the post of a Qutub was vacant and Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar appointed Shaikh Shah Mina for the same.

In the book Bahrul Ma-ani, the author Muhammad Mir Jafar Makki had stated that Qutubul Madar (Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar) had the right to reject a rusticate a Qutub and appoint another.

In the book Darral Munajjam it is stated that a Qutub rules the universe.

In the book Madar-e-Azam, it is also stated by Allama Hakim Farid Ahmad Abbasi Naqshbandi Mujaddi that when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had been in Lucknow an old women came to him and stated that today a child is born but the worry is that he did not feed with mother’s milk yet. On hearing this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar said that the Ramazan moon is seen which means that the Ramazan month is on. So this child is a wali of the almighty Allah. This is the reason that the child is not feeding.




In the book Madar-e-Azam, page 124 it is stated that when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar reached Kintoor he took accommodation in a mosque. After moments it was prayer time and Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar performed the namaz with his disciples. After some time Kazi Mahmood came to offer the namaz but saw that the stranger had not waited for him and performed the namaz. He got angry on him for this act. On this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar told him that the namaz should be performed on time so it is Mahmood’s mistake that he arrived late. He also stated that it is written in the quran about this and ordered him to read the quran at the same time. When Kazi Mahmood opened the quran to read it, he saw only blank pages inside it and nothing written was visible to him. With this miracle he was shocked and tried to know the name of the stranger.

On asking he knew that this is Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar. with the instance Kazi Mahmood memorized himself that during his childhood (Kazi Mahmood’s), his father Shaikh Hamid had taken him to Shaikh Abul Fateh and asked him to pray for him. On this Shaikh Abul Fateh took his cap (topi) off and placed it on Mahmood’s head, but the kid took it off and the same process was repeated three times. With this Shaikh Abul Fateh got very much angry and tried to kill the child. As he was about to do so he got a thought that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar is saying to him: “this boy belongs to my chain”, hence Shaikh Abul said: “ Shaikh Mahmood, your son go in such a hand that will be the Qutubul Madar and his name will be Badiuddin Ahmad.

When Kazi Mahmood remembered this, he understood that this saint is the same Badiuddin Ahmad for whom Shaikh Abul Fateh had foretold. So Kazi Mahmood requested Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to accept him as his mureed (disciple). On this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar asked him that untill you forget your present qualifications, this is not possible. This was not a possible thing for Kazi Mahmood to forget. But with the blessings of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar he was able to do so. Then Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar accepted him as his mureed and teached him the spiritual knowledge. Then onwards Kazi Mahmood’s name was included in Sufi saints.

On this the son replied that I am a Muslim now and my parents are not. I don’t know how they treat me and accept me or not ?

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar said, “ it is not so. You are the heir of Ghatampur and you will be the next king “. In future it happened that he was the king.

He then offered him a bowl of juice and asked him to first learn the religious education as well as the studies needed for daily life.

After five years he met Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar when he came to Gujarat and Shaikh Ilyas found all qualities which Hazrat Khijr has said sufi saint. He dedicated most of his time to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar. One day Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar told him that the world has an end so you leave it. He agreed but when he returned home he did not refuse the love for the luxurious life. The thought came in mind as to why should I forget this luxurious life. With this he slowly went away from Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar as time passed. Later he tied up into the disease of leprosy with white patches on his body.

Once he suddenly got the thought that the disease is because he hurted Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar by not keeping his word. He immediately went to him and accepted that he was wrong and is ashamed of this deed. He requested Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to forgive him.

On this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar answered that, “ I recite the Quran Shareef in such concentration that the words become my body’s strength, and their meanings become the strength of my soul. It is because of this that the almighty Allah had blessed me with such powers.” He also added that when in Misr there was a drought, then whenever people used to see Hazrat Yousuf Allay Salaam (may he rest in peace), their hunger and thirst would end at the same moment.

In that era Kannauj was treated as the capital market in the northern Indian territories. It was a dream place for many migrants as they used to come here for business and even settle there with their family.

All of them decided to ask a scholar for the solution to this. So they went to Bhika and Gopal who were very much literate. When Bhika and Gopal heard this and came to know that the people do not wish to accept the Islam religion, they suggested that if there is no death tomorrow then one old person should be killed and brought forward to Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib.

DAM MADAR BEDA PAAR...


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) feed Madar Sahib

When Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib reached India and as he got down the shore from the ship, he was surprised to see an old man waiting for him there, who wished Salaam to him with his name. On asking how do you know me ? .. the person replied, “there is no one that doesn’t know you, in some time the whole world will be knowing you”. And he requested him to follow him as his Master has invited Madar Sahib. Following him was a miracle as he went through the jungles he saw a cave which was very huge and with many doors in it. On each door there were guards who looked as if angels, and all wishing the Salaam to Madar Sahib as he passed through each one of them. When Madar sahib reached the extreme inside of the cave, the eyes were surprised as there was a throne in the middle that was glowing with light and The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was visible sitting on it.

The Prophet ordered him to sit beside Him, and said to him that his prayers had been accepted by the almighty Allah. And at the instance there come many angels from the skies holding plates of food in the hand. From that the Prophet hold a bowl of sweet rice and served nine bites to Madar Sahib. With each bite Madar Sahib got the ability to see through the sky and through the earth. The eternal powers increased with every bite. Then prophet dressed him with a gown and gently rubbing His hands on Madar Sahib’s face told him,” From today onwards you will never feel hungry, nor you will be thirsty and never will your clothes be dirty”. With these words he stood up and handed over the throne to Madar Sahib and said that this throne will be your vehicle throughout your journeys, whenever you wish this throne will fly and carry you to your desired place.

As it was the miracle from the almighty Allah, it was in vein for Madar Sahib to eat, drink and sleep.

This kind of being need not have the care to eat or drink, instead never compares anything but for him gold and sand are of same value. He sees the world as if seeing a small quantity of grains in his palms. It is all up to his wish that he needs to walk on water as if he is walking on sand, or else just order the throne to fly him to the desired place.

Hazrat Gulam Ali NaqshBandi Mujdiddi has said in his book Darul Muaarif , page no 243, that Qutubul Madar had the blessings from Allah upon his prayers he asked, that he need not feel hungry now thirsty, and he got it. The rest of his life went the same way.

Hazrat Abdul-haq Dehelvi had said in his book, Akhbarul Aakhiyaar, that the life of Sayed Badiuddin was apart from all, as he did not eat for years and never changed his clothings. It is also said that no one was able to see his faced with naked eyes as it had intensive light. The one who tried to see was had to bow down due to the intensity of light coming from Madar Sahib’s face.

These events are also mentioned in the books Foosul Masoodiya and Tajkiratul Muttakee

The luck of Sayyeda Bibi Naseeba

Hazrat Sayed Abdul Kadir Jilani Gausey Samnani, had two sisters. One was Sayeda zainub Bi and other was Sayeda Bibi Naseeba. Among the two sisters, Sayeda Naseeba did not had any children. One day in a she went to Abdul Kadir Jilani (may he rest in peace) and requested that even the particles of the universe are being blessed by your prayers and I am without a child. Please pray for me too that I have a child in my lap. With this request she got the answer from her brother that you will be blessed with a child but it is all with the thought of Zinda Shah Madar, if he prays for you, and he will be coming soon here. You place your request before him and if he prays for you then you will surely be blessed by the almighty Allah.

It was not much time to be spent for the waiting of the moment that Hazrat Madar Shah arrived in the town and this news spread throughout which encouraged Sayeda Naseeba to go before him. On her request Hazrat Madar Shah gave her an answer that she will give birth to two sons but only if she gives one son to him for spreading the knowledge of Islam. Sayeda Naseeba agreed for the wish and went away.

Days passed and when Hazrat Madar Shah visited Baghdad for the third time, there were two sons of Sayeda Naseeba Bibi. The elder son’s name was Sayed Mohammad and the younger son’s name was Sayed Ahmad. Hazrat Madar Shah sahib stayed in Baghdad for some days. One day when the elder son was playing on the terrace of the house, he suddenly fall down and died on the spot. His mother was in tears and sorrow as she lost her son. But to the instance she had a thought in her mind that this son of hers’ was to be given to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib as per the promise she had made to him. So she took the dead body of her son to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib and told him that with his prayers Allah has blessed her with two sons, and according to the promise made she has kept one for herself and the other which was to be given to you is here in the form of a dead body. On this Madar Sahib was happy and replied that he owns this child now. Weeping said Sayeda Naseeba Bibi that the ones who are dead are not owned by anyone.

On this Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib stood besides the dead body and said, “hey Jamaluddin Janeman Jannati, get up with the orders of the almighty Allah”. The moment these words were uttered by Madar Shah Sahib, the boy woke up and stood beside him. Later he was known by the same name as Janeman Jannati. He was called by other titles also as Jummanjati, Jamil Shah and Datar, Jamal Shah. His chilla shareef is still present in many parts of the world. His tomb is in Helsa Jatinagar in Bihar.



Voices in Ajmer

When Sayed Badi’uddin Shah Madar Sahib reached Ajmer for the first time, it was the 300 hijri era. He stayed on the kokla mountains of Ajmer. Before his arrival to Ajmer, Hazrat Hussein Khing Sawar Sahib and his followers had sacrificed their lives. And their bodies were just lying on the mountains without the kafan, and people used to hear voices of the takbir from them. It was so intense that the one who heard it became deaf. The residents were afraid and also tried to get out of this by calling magicians for stopping these voices with their powers.

But some people who were serious about the matter came forward to Madar Sahib and made him aware of their problem. Madar Sahib assured them that they will be soon out of the current situation as this very night these voices will be stopped. He ordered his followers to go on the Taragadh mountain where these bodies were lying since a long time who’s suffering if known only by the almighty Allah. He asked them to attend the funeral of the ones with all respect and burry according to the rules of Islam. The followers obeyed their master’s orders and the voices stopped.

Next day many people with the curiosity of this miraculous act, came to Madar Sahib and accepted Islam.

Crying of the meat

In Kannauj there lived a man who did not had any children. Attracted towards the fame of Zinda Shah Madar Sahib, he came to him with his wife. Madar Sahib prayed for him after listening to him. The almighty Allah gave a child to the man but it was in the form of a meat piece, with no limbs and legs and head. The man took this to Madar Sahib.

Madar Sahib starred at him and with his chanting the meat started to cry. The almighty Allah gave life to him and was in the form of a human. Later he was known by the name ALRAI.

Blind get eyes

Once when Sayed Badi’uddin Shah Madar reached the city of Surat, he was crowded by the people there. Amongst them was a blind man sitting on the way with a question to Madar Sahib. Looking at him the saint immediately did the Wazu (a process of washing face, hands and legs in Islam), and with the same water he washed the eyes of the blind man. On this the blind man was able to see as he got his vision back. With this miraculous deed the residents of the surrounding regions had great respect to the saint.

For this the dwellers had so much respect to the saint that they added Shah to their own names, proving their love to the saint. You can find Shah with the names of Muslims as well as Hindus these days, which is originated from here.

Women converted to men

Once Sayed Madar Sahib ordered his followers (khadims) to search for a suitable place for building a mosque in a nearby village. When they reached the village for obeying the orders of their Master and were searching for a place for the task, they came across magicians of the village who turned them into goats. When Madar Sahib came to know about this he went to the village. On his arrival he saw two women from the same magicians there. When Madar Sahib saw them, the almighty Allah immediately turned their bodies into men. On seeing these women turned into men, the people realized the importance of the saint and they came forward to him and expressed their mistake before him. As they had felt guilty of themselves and pleaded before the saint, Madar Sahib prayed on behalf of them to the almighty Allah to have pity on them. On this the women regained their bodies as before and with real faith they accepted Islam and became Muslims

The well that stormed

Once Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib visited Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. They were resting when they felt the need of water. So the khadims went to the nearby region in search of water. In a nearby village they found a well, and they tried to take some water from it when they were refused by some dwellers to take the water from their well. The khadims returned to Madar Sahib and stated the situation they had undergone in the village. On listening to this Madar Sahib replied and said, “Go to the well and tell him that, Shahid-e-karbala’s grand son Badi’uddin had called you”. The khadims did the same. Hearing this the well water rose to the height of extent and converted into a cyclone. Everywhere it was water and people would not believe themselves. When the khadims had filled their pots the well took its original position and the water got still. With this miracle the ones who had refused to the khadims for taking water from this well, felt guilty and bowed down before Madar Sahib to say sorry for their deed. Madar sahib forgave them as they got a lesson of their deed.

Ruined tree regained its greenery

Once Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib was in his preaching. During his speech one man passed by curious of what is going on here with such a crowd listening to the saint. The man asked one of his followers (Shaikh Mohammad Bakaullah) what is going on here ? He got the answer that,” He is Hazrat Sayed Badi’uddin Qutubul Madar, my saint. He is been entitled with the name Madar which is the topmost”. But the man in the crowd said that he doesn’t agree to this unless he sees some happening with his own eyes.

Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib realized what was going on in this persons mind and he called him near and asked, “ What is the tree which lies in front of your house of ?”. On this the man replied that he doesn’t know that, as this tree is very much old and years before a thunder lightening has destroyed this tree. Since then it is ruined and never produced any leaves nor any fruit. So it is difficult to make out what specie it belonged to. On listening to this Madar Sahib asked the man to see towards that tree and tell him now, which is that tree ?

The man was not able to believe his own eyes as he was able to see the same tree with leaves and full of coconuts onto it. With this Madar Sahib asked the man if he was able to accept whatever was in his mind ? The man bowed before the saint as he felt sorry for his deed. Madar sahib told him to take care of the tree, and the one who drinks its water is away from eye diseases.

On listening to him Hazrat Madar Sahib picked up a hand full of mud and gave it to him and ordered him to put this mud on the spot where the boat had drowned. The fisherman obeyed the orders of the saint and it was unbelievable for him to see the boat again sailing on the water.

Dead skull talked

Once Hazrat Madar Sahib passed through a garden along with his followers. Hazrat Khwaja Sayed Abu Fansur (R A), has stated that during this Hazrat Madar Sahib saw a skull which was lying in that garden. Being curious to know about the skull, Hazrat Madar Sahib went to it and asked, “who are you?, what is your existence?”.

On this the almighty Allah gave the skull the power to speak. It said that he was an employee who used to work for his master and however look after his children. But all of a sudden he died and it was 12 years that he is lying in that garden. He also said that he is undergoing the uneasy conditions as well as sins.

Listening to this Hazrat Jamaluddin Janeman Jannati got upset as it hurtled him a lot to listen to such words for his master. But without saying anything he just left the place and came back to his master.

Knowing what is going in Hazrat Jamaluddin Janeman Jannati’s mind, Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib said to him, “Jamaluddin, the talks of Naseeruddin has hurted you. Isn’t it? On this Hazrat Jamaluddin Janeman Jannati kept his silence. But it was not too late that he saw Hazrat Naseeruddin coming towards Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib and bow before him and took his words back knowing that he himself was wrong.
Chewing the Iron grams (chana)

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madarwas residing on the Kokla mountains of Ajmer. With the fame of his name throughout, a magician named Adharnath, presented a sack of iron grams (chana) to him.

He was injured very badly that he felt unconscious with pain and bleeding.

Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madarcame to him and ordered him,”upto what time will you be unconscious ? just to get up and confess before the almighty Allah”.

Funeral of the living man

Maulana Shahabuddin Malekul Ulma was been entitled as the Kazi-ul-kujjat. He used to listen about Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib, but didn’t care of what he is listening as he did not have faith in him. Once he came forward to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib and asked him many questions. He got the answer to every question he asked to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib. But still he was not convinced with him.

This nature went to such an extent that he asked a man to pretend to be dead and covered him with the kafan and lied him inside the janaza. He ordered some men to take this janaza to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib as if it is a real funeral, and ask him to offer the namaz-e-janaza. This was done only to know the ability of Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib because according to his knowledge if Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib offered the namaz, then he will be proved wrong as this namaz is meant for the ones who are dead and not alive.

The people did the same and took the funeral to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib. On reaching there they requested Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib to perform the namaz-e-janaza for the dead. With their request Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib came forward and performed the namaz with all respect. After finishing the namaz he went inside his tent. The ones who had brought this janaza started laughing at Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib and opened the janaza to uncover the face of the man lying inside. But the people were shocked to find the man dead inside the janaza.

When Kazi Sahabuddin came to know about this, he came to Hazrat Madar Shah Sahib and requested to forgive him for the deed

By this act the sadhu was a bit angry and said that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar has ruined his life long work to make this Aksir.

For this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar replied that a human himself is an Aksir, so why should he try to use another one just to turn a copper into gold. He asked the sadhu, “ how does the Aksir look like ?”. The sadhu replied, “ it looks as if it is dirt “. Just then Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar picked up some dirt from the river and said : “this mud is also the Aksir, take it and make as much gold u need”.

Once in a masjid (mosque) of Jaunpur when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was performing namaz in the jamaat, he suddenly broke apart from it and offered the namaz on his own instead of offering it behind the Pesh Imam (head of the Mosque). When he finished his praying, he was asked for the reason why he did not perform the namaz with the others who were doing so behind the Pesh Imam as it is according to the rules of Islam.

On this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar replied that during the namaz ones mind should totally be in the only almighty Allah and nothing else at all, because if so, the namaz is not acceptable. And the Pesh Imam who was in the prayers had inbetween the namaz got a thought of a calf. So the ones who are performing the namaz behind him in jamat will also
bear the sin that their namaz is also not accepted.

When asked by the people, the Imam agreed that he had the thought.


The blessing in Rajgeer

In the book Sairul Madar it is written on page no. 40 by Zahiruddin Sahsavani Kadri that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar always did his preachings in different regions about Islam and this was the reason that he was always on tour. It was once that his throne was flying through Rajgeer then Hazrat Makhdoom (R A) stood on a wall when he saw Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar . Then he ordered the wall that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar ’s throne is coming so you get ten laps forward. On this the wall slid towards the way of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar .

When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar reached near Hazrat Makhdoom he was
offered a bowl of water. On this Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar smiled and just jerked his had. A rose flower fell from his sleeve which impressed Hazrat Makhdoom.

When he reached Kalpi, it was the end of king Kadirshah’s rule and was defeated by the king of Hoshangabad. When the people came to know of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar ’s arrival they gathered at his residing place. When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar used to come out of the house and take the veil off his face, all the present ones fainted and when they used to wake up they accepted Islam.

Black Magicians accept Islam

When Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib was on his way to Makanpur from Jaunpur, he passed through a village where lived many magicians who turned unknown human blind by their evil powers. Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib stopped at the borders of the village and the magicians tried their evil powers on him. Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib stayed there to rove them their capabilities. But after efforts the magicians were forced to accept that they are dealing with the most divine person on earth. When they realized that no magic works on the person standing at the borders of their village where unknown people had the fear to come, they came to Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib and accepted their guilt.

Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib forgave them and with the recitation of the Kalima accepted them into Islam. Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib went forward on his journey and left some of his representatives (khalifa) with the village so that the teachings of Islam never stop there.

Dead boy wakes up

In the book ‘Tarikhe Salateene Sharkiya’ it is stated that one day a woman came to Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib and requested that he pray for her as her child had died and now she is alone and finds hard to live. She said that with lots of prayers she had a child but her luck was such that the child died in childhood. She told Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib that due to his prayers many are delighted then why not she.

There was a feeling of sadness with these words to Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib and he went to the grave of the child. He prayed and said the Arabic words: “kum be-isnillah”. With this the dead boy woke up chanting the Kalima.

But the boy requested Hazrat Sayed Zinda Shah Madar Sahib that the world is full of sins and no peace. He said that the real peace is in the heaven so he needs to go back and do not wish to stay in this world.

Hz Syedina Syed Qutb Shah Ghori-Kolar

The Dargah Shareef of Hazrath Syedina Syed Qutb Shah Ghori (RA) is situated in the main city of Kolar. Opposite to Kolar Clock Tower, you can find an entrance of Dargah Mohalla which is similar to Ajmeer Shareef's Dome in the name of Hazrath Syedina Syed Qutb Shah Ghori (RA).



It is said that more than 1000 years ago, the beloved Mureeds of Hazrat Syed Qutb Shah Ghori (RA) carried his Janaza Mubarak on their shoulders as per his last instructions to bury the sacred body in a place where the Janaza Mubarak wouldn't move. The Mureeds roamed carrying Janaza Mubarak of Hazrat Syed Qutb Shah Ghori (RA) to different places for achieving the purpose and eventually reached Kolar, where they wanted to have a rest due to tiredness.



On the other hand, the soldiers of the Rani of Kolar didn't allow the Mureeds to stay even for a second and compelled them to vacate the place along with the Janaza Mubarak. Upon their request, Mureeds tried to lift up the Janaza Mubarak, astonishingly, it didn't move even bit and they became aware that Kolar was the place where the sacred body was to be buried. SubhanALLAH. The soldiers reported this incident to the Rani who was the ruler of Kolar then that the Janaza Mubarak was not moving from the place despite the fact that so many people put their efforts to lift it up from the site.




The Rani was annoyed hearing it and commanded her soldiers to bring elephants knitting them with chains and pull the Janaza Mubarak from the place it was laid at. The soldiers followed her instructions and tried to pull the Janaza Mubarak with the efforts of elephants and chains but the Karamath of Hazrat Syedina Qutb Shah Ghori (RA) was so powerful and stronger that devastated their hopeless efforts.



Finally, the Rani was won over by the Mureeds of Hazrat Syedina Qutb Shah Ghori (RA) and she permitted them to continue the burial ceremony in the place where the Dargah shareef is now situated. After the incident, people witnessed many Karamaths of Hazrath Syedina Syed Qutb Shah Ghori (RA) and became aware of his highest Darajah (status) in Wilayath and started flocking at his holy feet to gain his countless blessings.



In the same Dargah shareef, adjacent to the Mazar-e-Mubarak of Hazrath Syedina Syed Qutb Shah Ghori (RA), there are three other Mazar-e-shareefs found which are of Hazrat Syed Shah Muheed Ali Pari Yar (Rahmathullah Allaih), Hazrat Syed Shah Mohammed Madar (Rahmathullah Allaih) and Hazrat Syed Shah Mohammed Fateh hathai e Madar Mast (Rahmathullah Allaih).




About Manju Shah - The Warrior of Independence Movement
Majnu Shah madaria Sufi saint from Mewat and leader of the Fakir-sannyasi Revolt in Bengal. The real name of Majnu Shah was Muhammed Abu Talib. He is known only by his popular name Majnu Shah, sometimes called Majnu Shah Burhana and to often Majnu Fakir. Majnu Shah succeeded Shah Sultan Hasan Suriya Burhana to the leadership of the Madaria sufi order in Bengal Hemtabad thana of Dinajpur district. He had also a temporary residence at Madarganj. Majnu Shah used to live at Baliakandi in the Bogra.

The Fakir Sanyasi Rebellion moved between various parts of Bihar & Bengal. His center was in Dinajpur and in Bogra District. He used to inspire people to liberation, religion and unity. He was a fakir from the madariya sufi brotherhood. The Resistance Movement :

The Fakir-Sanyasi resistance movement was planned and led by Majnu Shah, a Muslim Sufi saint of the Madaria Sect. He organized the sufi saints and the yogi sannyasis under a common platform. The sannyasis were the Vedantic Hindu yogis belonging to the Girl and Puri groups of ek-dandi sannyasism. Both the fakirs and sannyasis were armed bands living in khankahs and akhdas.

Majnu Shah had his lieutenants in the persons of the sufis like Musa shah, Cherag Ali Shah, Paragal Shah, Sobhan Shah, Karim Shah etc, Bhabani Pathak, a Bhojpuri Brahmin, who had discourse with Majnu Shah and also had communication with a petty zamindar Devi Chaudhurani, led the sannyasi rebeis.

Led by Majnu Shah, Bhabani Pathak, Debi Chaudhurani and a host of heroic figures, the rebellion continued till the beginning of the 19th century and was marked by daring attacks on the East India Company’s offices in different parts of Bihar and Bengal, killing of notorious Indian landlords and money-lenders as well as of oppressive British traders and army officers, and both guerilla and positional warfare against the British army.

Lieutenant Brenan was deputed to contain the resistance movement. The Fakir resistance began in nebulous form in 1760 and gathered momentum in 1763. Their main target was the company kuthi, zamindari kachharis of zamindars loyal to the feringhee raj and the houses of their officials. The rebels used swords, spear and lances, gun, fire throwing device, hawai and even revolving cannons.

Major centers of the Fakir-Sanyasi rebellion were from 1767 to 1786, the rebels carried out numerous attacks on East India Company bases in places such as Bogra District, Rangpur, Rajshahi, Kuch Bihar, Bajitpur, Jalpaiguri, Comilla and Dhaka.

Bhabani Pathak, a Bhojpuri Brahmin, formed a common alliance with Majnu Shah and also led the Sanyasi rebels.

Fakir-Sannyasi rids got intensified in 1776 in the districts of Bogra, Rajshahi, Dinajpur and Chittagong. During the period between 1777 and 1781 the Fakir-Sannyasi raids mainly continued in Bogra, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Chittagong, Sylhet and Mymensingh areas. The activities of the rebles took a serious turn in Alapsingh pargana of Mymensingh in 1782. After a serve battle at Pukhuria Majnu Shah receded into the Madhupur jungle with his followers. In 1785 he proceeded towards Mahasthangarh and was defeated in a battle. In the following year Majnu Shah planned simultaneous attack in eastern Bengal under himself and in North Bengal area under his lieutenant Musa Shah. In a battle against the company army under Lieutenant Brenan in Kaleswar area (8 December 1786) Majnu Shah lost a large number of his followers.

The number of Fakirs and Sanyasis rose to around fifty thousand or more in the 1770s, and on those occasions when they took part in open warfare with the East India Company they could put as many as 6000 troops into the field.

Since the rebels were very mobile, compared to the British army, and were able to seek shelter in inhospitable terrain when threatened, the East India Company found it difficult to defeat them. On the few occasions that the British caught them in the open, they were defeated thoroughly, but due to their mobility, they were always able to retreat and regroup in jungles and along the border with Nepal. The East India Company army soon found that stationing an army at one site could not stop the guerilla raids from being conducted at another place









Some of the teachings of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar

"It is a must for Muslims that the namaz they should offer the Nafil namaz and every time of the day they should be with the name of the almighty Allah. They must keep themselves away from lust and their breadth should be in the memory of the almighty Allah. Each moment of them should be with a faith that the almighty agrees with us. The heart should beat for the almighty Allah. They should be kind to the creations of the almighty Allah. They should not involve in unnecessary mischief. He should keep out of sins, bad habits and gossips and should always go by the rules of the holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as his life’s first mission"

"True Momins (muslims) do not accept the way of the Satan (shaitaan)"
