knowledge from his father, he also studied under the watchful eye of great
scholars such as, Hazrat Abul Hassan Muhammad As Saa’igh, Hazrat Qaadhi Abul
Fadhl Muhammad Al Armi, Hazrat Abul Qaasim Saeed bin Al Ban’na, Hazrat Hafiz
Abul Fadhl Muhammad bin Naasir, Hazrat Abu Bakr Muhammad bin Az Zaghwani and

Allaho anhu) attained knowledge of Hadith etc. from a huge Jamaat of Ulama on
the command of his father. He blessed various personalities such as, Sheikh
Shamsudeen, Sheikh Abdur Rahmaan, Sheikh Kamaal, Sheikh Abdur Raheem, Ahmad bin

SHEIKH-E-TARIQAT
: He is the mureed and Khalifa of Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam Jilani (radi Allaho anhu).
EXCELLENCE:
He was Haafizul Quran and Haafizul Hadith.
He was also appointed the Mufti of Iraqi by the virtue of his vast
knowledge. He was a great Faqih (Jurist) and at the same time, a very humble
and simple person. He was an embodiment of patience, tolerance, gratefulness,
piety, good character and respect. He often preferred to be by himself, rather
than in the company of people. With the exception of Salaah, he never left his
home without reason. Even though, in the eyes of the world, he was not a very
wealthy person, he was still very kind and generous. He was very soft hearted
and gentle. Further to possessing great knowledge and wisdom, he was also a
superb teacher and a dynamic debater. He showed deep love towards those who
studied deen. The people of Iraq
attained great benefit through his presence. He was a muqalid of Hazrat Imam
Ahmed bin Hambal (radi Allaho anhu). He lived at a place called Halb and it is
for this reason, that many people also referred to him as Halbi. He was a
perfect embodiment of his father in taqwa. He was also very modest. He was so
modest, and feared Allah to such an extent, that for three years, he did not
lift his head up towards the sky. [Khazinatul Asfiyah]

AN AMAZING
LIFE: His fifth son, Hazrat Sheikh Jamaalullah is the splitting image of Huzoor
Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allaho anhu) and was loved dearly by Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (radi
Allaho anhu). He is alive even till this day, and is known as “Hayaatul Meer”.
He is said
to be in the area of Samarkand.
Various Awliyah Allah have met him and have even taken Bai’at at his hands.
Hazrat Sheikh Jamaalullah (radi Allaho anhu) says that Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (radi
Allaho anhu) used to often say,
“O
Jamaalullah! You will attain a very long life. When you enter the era of Hazrat
Esa (alahis salaam) then you should pass my Salaams to him.”
Once
someone asked Hazrat Jamaalullah if he knew for how long he would live, and he
replied by saying that he was not aware of that, but he knew for sure that he
would meet Hazrat Esa (alahis salaam) and make his khidmat (serve him) just as
his grandfather Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allaho anhu) foretold.
WISAAL : There
is a difference of opinion on the date of his wisaal, but the date which is in
the Shijrah-e-Aaliyah Qaaderiyah Razviyah, is the 6th of Shawwal 623
Hijri and this seems to be the proper date.
JANAZAH
SALAAH : When the wisaal of Hazrat Sayyidi Abdur Razzaq (radi Allaho anhu) was
announced, then the crowd of people was so vast, that there was no place in the
town where the Janazah could be performed. The Janazah was thus first performed
in the Eid Gaah outside the town, then in Jaame Risaafa, the third time at
Turbatul Khulafa, the fourth time, along the banks of the River Tigris, a fifth
time at the Baab-e-Tahreem, the sixth time at Jabriyah and the seventh time
near the Mazaar of Hazrat Ahmed bin Hambal (radi Allaho anhu), and this was on
a Friday. [Ad Dur rul Munzim vol.2 pg.471]
MAZAAR
SHAREEF : His Mazaar Shareef is in the Mausoleum of Hazrat Imam Ahmed bin
Hambal (radi Allaho anhu) .
