FOREWORD The reason of arranging and compiling this brief history of life of Hazrat Shaikh Makhdum Ali Paro’s rehmatullahi alaih is that when his honourable father Hazrat Maulana Shaikh Ahmad Paro’s rehmatullahi alaih residential quarter which later on was turned into a mausoleum after his death, situated at Ghas Bazar, Kalyan. Maharashtra was under dispute through a suit into the Kalyan High Court, that time, here was no record or any documents in English regarding Hazrat Shaikh Makhdum Ali Paro rehmatullahi alaih, or Hazrat Maulana Shaikh Ahmad Paro rehmatullahi alaih. Consequently, the pleaders, the advocates and the Magistrate were unable to understand the very basis of the suit. Not only that was so but also, the Muslim advocates and the pleaders were not knowing Urdu language and that is why it was very difficult to present the case in its right perspective. Moreover, today we find that most of the Muslim people have opted to get their children admitted to the English medium schools due to some kind of compulsion or the other. The younger generation of today, is totally unaware of the life history of the renowned saint Hazrat Makhdum Ali Paro rehmatullahi alaih This very fact is the reason of venturing upon compiling a brief life sketch and his forefather’s brief history in English. We have taken care and we have endeavoured to collect the subject matter through books, treatises, magazines and newspapers. And here it is that we are presenting this for your kind information. In compilation and completion of this book we are graced by the favour of Hazrat Shaikh Makhdum Ali Paro rehmatullahi alaih Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya rehmatullahi alaih Maqbool-e-Ilahi Kalimi, Chishti, Qutb-e-Daccan Aurangabadi Hazra Maulana Mohammad Fakhruddin rehmatullahi alaih, Muhibbun Nabi Fakr-e-Jahan Nizami Kalimi Chishti Dehlavi and this slave’s patrons Hazrat Al Haj Baba Abdul Rehman rehmatullahi alaih Shah Karam Nawaz Fakhri Nizami Chishti and my saintly guide and spiritual leader, Hazrat Moinuddin Alias Hazrat Mohammad Qaisaruddin rehmatullahi alaih (Qaisar Miyan) Fakhari Nizami Kalimi, Chishti have graced me with their blessings and I am very much obliged to them in this regard and I am very much thankful to them. Those who have given me their support and concrete help in compilation of this book are our brother respectable Mr. Shaikh Hakim Burhanuddin Gariburrehmani Qadri, Qaisary Fakhri Nizami Chishti. Mr.Sayyed Noor Mohammed Sayyed Alauddin Peerzadah Saheb. Mr. Sayyed Mohammad Salim, Sayyed Alauddin Saheb Peerzadah. Mr.Mohammad Hanif Saheb.

Lastly I would like to mention the name of our younger brother Mr. Gulam Husain Mama Paro Qaisary Fakhri Nizami Kalimi Chishti who helped us with his memory about the events and information regarding Hazrat Makhdum Shah rehmatullahi alaih and his predecssors. Seeking the blessing of all of you. Your’s sincerely Mohammad Abdullah Mama Paro Qaisari, Makhdumi, Niyazi, Fakhri, Nizami, Kalimi, Chishti, Al- Mahaimi Allah – beginning with the name of the most Beneficent and Merciful. A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF HISTORICAL CONDITIONS OF MAHIM The Western territorial side of India. almost all of it is situated close to the sea. In the era of Maha Bharat it was called by the name of Uprant and the Arab tourists named it. ‘Kunkun’ or Kum Kum. Bomaby and its suburbans are but a part of this very kun kun which later on was continued to be called Kokan. In ancient times, it consisted of seven different islands. Their names are as follows: (1)Colaba .(2) Bambai , (3) Majgaon. (4) Parel. (5) Worli. (6) Sion, (7) M A H A I M As regards to these islands, the most ancient reference can be obtained from the book of Ptolmey (which was printed in the year 150 A.D. who had given these islands the name of HEPTANESIA. These islands remained desolate and uninhabited for a long time. But, today. it is brewing with hustle and bustle to no limit. The coins belonging to the era of Raja Krishnan (375 A.D. to 400 A.D.) which are found. reveal the fact that, in that age. Bombay and the territories around it had begun to be inhabited. Then it was the sixth century A.D. when the Mauryas got control over the North Kokan inclusive of the islands of Bombay. The Mauryas had made Elephanta (Purl) their capital. Afterwards. Kirti Vennari. The First (156 A.D. - 591 A.D.), of the Chalukia Dynasty invaded the whole of the Kokan territory. In the year 810 A.D.. the Salhar Dynasty caine to its height in the North Kokan. Its twenty rulers, in succession, ruled over the North Kokan alongwith the islands of Bombay till 1260 AD. In their period Thana. Sanjan, Sopara, Kalyan, Bassein. Uran and Cheeval etcetera were the famous and commercial centres. In the beginning, the Arab Traders came into contact with those territories where there were the sea-ports. In those days. it was the Southern India where there were more seaports than any other part of India. Then. these came into existence in Sindh, Gujrat and Baluchistan Provinces. To name the ports, it would be like this: In Madras ( The State-Province) Kolam. Milli, Malaibar, Ras Kuman. in Gujrat Thana. Khambayat Sopara, Chemboriya, in Sindh Vaibal. in Baluchistan Nezu etcetera. There were other islands like Sarandeep. Mal Deep that were like the sea-ports. The Salhars had made their stay and were living. in these territories for centuries prior to the establishment of the rule of Muslims in India. The first of all the Arab tourist that came to India is Sulaiman, The Trader (235 Hijri). He has made description of the kings who ruled over the territories adjoining the coast of india, in his travelogue, in which the first name is of Raja Baihara, The name of his territory under his rule is ‘ Kum Kurn ( Kokan) which is situated along the sea-side. The historian Bilazari describes that just near Bombay. there is Thana (which in Arabic is written ‘Tana’). This is the port that achieved the honour of stepping here by one of the Most Revered Companions of The Holy Prophet Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam, in the year of fifteenth Hijri when Hazrat Urnar Farooq Radi Allahu anhu was the Caliph in Arabia. That is why, there were some such Muslims in this territory who claimed to have their decendence from the Companions of the Holy Prophet Salla Allahu ta’ala’alayhi wa sallam. In the Bombay Gazette, Volume Third, it is mentioned that the predecessors of Hazrat Makhdum Ali Faquih rehmatullahi alaih came to Mahim in about 252 Hijri i.e., 860 AD. In 1312 A.D. Alauddin Khilji attacked the King of Devgiri, Shankar Deo and killed him. The killing of Shankar Deo was on the pretext that he had refused to be ready to give yearly revenue to the King of Delhi. After Shankar Deo, Har Gopal was appointed in his place. He, too, resorted to faithlessness and ingratitude and, consequently, he was deprived of the crown and the throne by the King of Delhi. After the rebellion, treachery and consequently his exemplary end, in 1318 A.D. Sultan Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah I ordered his armies to annex Bombay (Mahim) to his kingdom and he declared Thana to be the central City of this territory. Thus Mahim was captured and controlled by the army of the king. After the death of Muzaffar Shah, his grandson Ahmed Shah became the king in 813 Hijri.

  • Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard
    Monetary Aspects of Bahmani Copper Coinage in Light of the Akola Hoard Phillip B. Wagoner and Pankaj Tandon Draft: 9/24/16 **Please do not quote or disseminate without permission of the authors** The Bahmanis of the Deccan produced copper coinage from the very outset of the state’s founding in AH 748/1347 CE, but it was clearly secondary to the silver tankas upon which their monetary system was based. By the first several decades of the fifteenth century, however, as John Deyell has shown, the relative production values of silver and copper coinage had reversed, and there was an enormous expansion in copper output, both in terms of the numbers of coins produced and in terms of the range of their denominations (Fig.1).1 This phenomenon has attracted the attention of several scholars, but fundamental questions yet remain about the copper coinage and how it functioned within the Bahmani monetary system. Given the dearth of contemporary written documents shedding light on these matters, it is understandable that many would simply give up on trying to answer these questions. But to do so would be to ignore the physical, material evidence afforded in abundance by the coinage itself, including such aspects as its metrology and denominational structure, and most importantly, the indications of its usage patterns embodied within the composition and geographic distribution of individual coin hoards. Ultimately, we may wish to know why Bahmani copper coinage production should have undergone such a sudden expansion in the 1420s and 1430s, but in order to realize this goal, we must first address the physical nature of the coinage itself and what it can tell us about how it was used.

  • Bahamani Kingdom
    BAHAMANI KINGDOM The Bahamni kingdom which lasted for more than three centuries arose on the ruins of the Delhi Sultanate and proved to be the most powerful muslim kingdom after the decline of the Delhi Sultanate and before the Mughal Empire. It came into existence during the reign of Muhammad Bin Tuqhlaq under Hasan Gangu who established the Bahamni kingdom., it finally desintegrated into five independent kingdoms which led to the end of the Bahamni kingdom. Of all the independent kingdoms that arose on the ruins of the Delhi Sultanate the Bahamani kingdom of the Deccan proved to be the most powerful. The Bahmani Sultanate (also called the Bahmanid Empire or Bahmani Kingdom) was a Muslim state of the Deccan in South India and one of the great medieval Indian kingdoms. Bahmanid Sultanate was the first independent Islamic Kingdom in South India. Ala-ud-Din Hasan Bahman Shah (3 August 1347- 11 Feb.1358) : It came into existence during the reign of Muhammad bin Tuqhlaq as a challenge to his authority. The nobles of the Deccan rebelled against the Delhi Sultan and seized the fort of Daulatabad and proclaimed Ismail’il much the Afghan, as king of the Deccan under the title of Nasir-ud-din Shah. However Ismail’il Mukh proved unfit for the office and Mahmud Hasan Gangu, entitled Zafar Khan, was declared king by the nobles on the 3rd August, 1347 under the title of ‘Abul- Muzaffar Alauddin Bahman Shah’. Hasan claimed descent from the famous Persian hero Bahman, son of Isfandiyar and the dynasty that he founded came to be known as the Bahmani dynasty.

Life THE MOHAMMADAH DYNASTIES THE MOHAMMADAN DYNASTIES CHRONOLOGICAL AND GENEALOGICAL TABLES WITH HISTORICAL INTRODUCTIONS STANLEY LANE - POOLE ©Westminster ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE AND COMPANY PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE 14 PARLIAMENT STREET MDCCCXCiV HERTFORD PRINTED BY STEPHEN AUSTIN AND SON PREFACE The following Tables of Mohammadan Dynasties bare grown naturally out of my twenty years’ work upon the Arabic coins in the British Museum. In preparing the thirteen volumes of the Catalogue of Oriental and Indian Coins I was frequently at a loss for chronological lists. Prinsep’s Useful Tables, edited by Edward Thomas, was the only trustworthy English authority I could refer to, and it was often at fault. I generally found it necessaiy to search for correct names and dates in the Arabic historians, and the lists of dynasties prefixed to the descriptions of their coins in my Catalogue were usually the result of my own researches in many Oriental authorities. It has often been suggested to me that a reprint of these lists would be useful to students, and now that the entire Catalogue is published I have collected the tables and genealogical trees in the present volume. : VI PREFACE The work is, however, much more than a reprint of these tables. I have not only verified the dates and pedigrees by reference to the Arabic sources and added a number of dynasties which were not represented in the Catalogue of Coins, but I have endeavoured to make the lists more intelligible by prefixing to each a brief historical introduction.

  • Gujarat Under the Great Mughal
    Gujarat Under the Great Mughal Bijan Mondal Assistant Professor Department of History Jogamaya Devi College The Gujarat Sultanate 1. The founder of the ruling Muzaffarid dynasty, Zafar Khan (later Muzaffar Shah I) was appointed as governor of Gujarat by Nasir-ud-Din Muhammad bin Tughluq IV in 1391 2. Zafar Khan's father Sadharan, was a Tanka Rajput convert to Islam. Zafar Khan defeated Farhat-ul-Mulk near Anhilwada Patan and made the city his capital. 3. Following Timur’s invasion of Delhi, the Delhi Sultanate weakened considerably so he declared himself independent in 1407 and formally established Gujarat Sultanate. 4. The next sultan, his grandson Ahmad Shah I founded the new capital Ahmedabad in 1411. 5. His successor Muhammad Shah II subdued most of the Rajput chieftains. The prosperity of the sultanate reached its zenith during the rule of Mahmud Begada. He subdued most of the Rajput chieftains and built navy off the coast of Diu. 6. In 1509, the Portuguese wrested Diu from Gujarat sultanate following the battle of Diu. The decline of the Sultanate started with the assassination of Sikandar Shah in 1526. 7. Mughal emperor Humayun attacked Gujarat in 1535 and briefly occupied it. Thereafter Bahadur Shah was killed by the Portuguese while making a deal in 1537. 8. The end of the sultanate came in 1573, when Akbar annexed Gujarat in his empire. The last ruler Muzaffar Shah III was taken prisoner to Agra. 9. In 1583, he escaped from the prison and with the help of the nobles succeeded to regain the throne for a short period before being defeated by Akbar's general Abdul Rahim Khan -I – Khana.

  • Relations of the Sufis with the Rulers of Deccan (14^" -17^" Centuries)
    RELATIONS OF THE SUFIS WITH THE RULERS OF DECCAN (14^" -17^" CENTURIES) ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bottor of ^I)Uo£iopI)p IN HISTORY BY FATIMA MARYAM UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. TARIQ AHMED CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH-202002 (INDIA) 2012 ABSTRACT Scope of the work: This thesis studies the emergence of Muslim culture in the medieval Deccan with a particular focus on the impact of various Sufi orders. It charts their spread in the Deccan, studies the establishment of khanqahs in various cities and analyses the attitude of different orders vis-a-vis the medieval ruling elite. The study takes into account a broad time-span which begins with the foundation of the Bahmani kingdom in 1347, covers the period of the succession states that emerged on the debris of the Bahmani kingdom, and ends with the disintegration and Mughal conquest of the last surviving independent kingdoms of Bijapur and Golconda in 1686 and 1687 respectively. In this long time-span the thesis notices the flowering of several Sufi orders: some major orders such as the Chishtis and the Qadiris, and also those who had a comparatively limited popularity in the Deccan such as Shattaris, Junaidis, Nimatullahis and Naqshbandis. All these orders had slight differences in their trajectories of thought and in their stance towards the temporal authorities. The study of these differences remains the main focus of my study. The region of Deccan became a fertile ground for mystics even before the Muslim political annexation began, and the process received an impetus during the Tughlaq period.
