at the feet of his beloved father. His father then appointed his Khalifa Hazrat
Afzal bin Abdur Rahmaan Ilaahabadi (radi Allaho anhu) as his teacher. His
teacher loved him dearly and taught him well. He qualified under Hazrat Afzal

SHEIKH-E-TARIQAT:
He was the mureed and Khalifa of his father, Hazrat Meer Sayyid Muhammad Kalpwi
(radi Allaho anhu). He was allowed to take the position of his father at the
age of 24.
HIS EXCELLENCE:
He was an embodiment of apparent and hidden knowledge and a great Aabid and
Aarif. He was always engrossed in the Ibaadat of Almighty Allah. He possessed
wonderful character and was very kind and generous. His entire life was in
accordance with the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allaho alaihi
wasallam).
He had a
special connection to the Darbaar of Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz (radi Allaho
anhu). Once whilst in Ajmer
Shareef with his father, he attained great spiritual blessings through the Rooh
of Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz (radi Allaho anhu).
His sight was
very powerful. If he placed his spiritual sight on any person, that person
would lose control and become physically unconscious. Once a person came to him
and said that his heart had become very hard, and even if a close relative of
family member passed away, he felt nothing. He requested the Sheikh to place
his blessed sight on him. Hazrat held both his hands and then shook them, but
he still remained in the same condition.
He did this
thrice and on the third time, his heart became soft and tears began to flow
from his eyes. When he regained his senses, he immediately took bai’at at the
hands of the Sheikh and became from amongst his devotees.
