Syedi Bawa
Mulla Khan Saheb(QR)
Date of
Wafaat (demise): 29th Shawalul Mukarram 1114 H.
A person of immense erudition, benignity and piety Syedi
Bawa Mulla Khan Saheb (QR) a resident of Islampura, was known and
respected by one and all for his sagacity and modesty. People from all
walk of life, Mumineen and otherwise - sought his blessings and advice in
numerous aspects.
It is said that, as to perform Namaz in time, he
was conscious of the movement of the sun even while he attended his
business. Never would he fail to extract Khumus from his daily earnings
and submit Khumus and Zakat to the Dai. Taking into account Mumineens'
needs, Syedi Bawa Mulla Khan (QR) kept a horse exclusively for Mumineen
who would use it during their need and returned it back.
The King
of Islampura converted to Islam. Syedi Adbulqadir Hakimuddin (QR) son of
Syedi Bawa Mulla Khan (QR), known for his excellent command in recitation
of Quran e Majeed, taught the King the art of recitation of Quran e
Majeed. Impressed, the King gifted him a village and sent all harvest of
the village to Syedi Hakimuddin's (QR) residence. On seeing this, Syedi
Bawa Mulla Khan (QR) affectionately asserted whether his son was serving
the King and complacent in serving the Dai. Realizing his oversight, Syedi
Hakimuddin (QR) immediately returned back all the goods to the
King.
Syedi Bawa Mulla Khan Saheb (QR) had six
sons, namely Syedi Abdulqader Hakimuddin (QR), Maulai Mohammed, Maulai
Adam, Maulai Tayeb, Maulai Lookmanji and Maulai Hayder. During one of his
visit to the 35th Dai Syedna Abdultayeb Zakiuddin (RA), Syedi Bawa Mulla
Khan Saheb (QR) was asked how many sons he had. On mentioning he had six
sons, the Dai pointed out the obligation of Khumus upon Syedi Bawa Mulla
Khan (QR). Immediately Syedi Bawa Mulla Khan (QR) humbly requested Syedi
Abdulqader Hakimuddin (QR) who was accompanying him to be accepted in
Khumus. Syedi Hakimuddin (QR) went on to serve Dawat and the Dai with
extraordinary zeal and devotion.
Syedi Bawa Mulla Khan's (QR)
devotion and wellbeing of Dawat and Dai was such that he was honored by
Allah Subhanahu with thirteen Duat Mutlaqeen (RA), including Syedna
Mohammed Burhanuddin TUS from his lineage.
