Hazrat Baba Mohkam Din Sahib

Jagraon Ki Roshni Waley Pir

Rahmatullah e-Alaihi
There is a present of Aulia-e Kiram in each and every part of the world. They spread
the name of Allah
and always try to help the people by all means, sometimes with prays and
sometimes literally by
their financial means. The mission of their life is to help people to get them out of
suffering and to
share their problems. Their basic teaching is Love with everyone as we are all
children of Adam and
Eve.
One of such sacred and holy Wali Ullah(Friend of Allah) was Baba Mohkam Din
Sahib(RA).
His place of birth is not known but he came from Farid Kot in 1857 A.D and settled
down in Jagraon, in
District of Ludhiana. There he spend all his life until he passed away in the year of
1913 A.D.
He was Baiat (Initiated) by Pir Muhammad Amin Sahib of Sirhind Sharif in the
Naqshbandi Order.
He was married twice, first with Mai Sarah(RA) then with Mai Deena(RA). Bibi Mai
Sarah is buried right
next to Baba Sahibs Mazar and Mai Deenas Mazar is at a short distance from there
and is very
beautifully constructed in a vast and open ground.
Hazrat Baba Sahib had no child from either of them. Baba Sahib was very much
inclined towards Syed
Hameeray Shah Sahib(RA). Syed Hameeray Shah Sahib was one of the descendents
of The Holy Prophet

Hazrat Muhammad ur Rasool Ullah (SAS) and a resident of Jagraon Sharif, where he
used to practice
Medicine (Hakim) and was famous of having cure and blessings in his hands. He was
very pious always
helping poor people.
Hazrat Baba Mohkam Din Sahib adopted Hameeray Shah Sahib as his son
(mutabannah) and also
announced him as his Khalifa e Akbar and Sajjada Nashin in his life time.
The Raja (Ruler) of Gawalior came to pay his respect to Baba Sahib and requested
to pray for a son
Because he did not have any Heir to take over his kingdom after he dies. Baba
Sahib prayed for him and
gave Maharaja the good news that soon Almighty Allah will bless him with a son,
who will become
The Ruler of Gawalior after him. The Lord listen to his prayers and after a short while
a Prince was born
in the Palace of Gawalior. The Maharaja came to Jagraon Sharif to thank Baba Sahib
and get blessings
from him. The Maharaja built a great Khanqah and lot of guest rooms for the
visitors.
Baba Sahib was buried in the same Khanqah when he died in 1913 A.D. The top of
the Tomb of the
Mazar (Shrine) was made of pure gold.
His annual Urs Mubarik (Anniversary) is celebrated on 13 th of the month of Phagan
and stays for about
a week, which is known as Roshni ka Mela or Jagrawan di Roshni. People of all
sects and religions
come from all over India to pay their respects and receive blessings (Faiz) from a
Great Wali of his time.
Hazrat Ghaus Ali Shah Qalandar (RA) of Pani Pat heard the fame of Baba Sahib so
came to visit him

As it is mentioned in Tazkara e Ghausia written by His Khalifa Hazrat Gul Hassan

Sahib(RA)
The Urs of Baba Sahib used to last for the whole week before the Partition of India
and Pakistan but now
It lasts only for three days. Hundreds of thousands of people may be witnessed
coming to the Mazar
Sharif. The people especially pray for a child which is heard by Allah(SWT)
After the Wisal (death) of Baba Sahib(RA), Hazrat Syed Hameeray Shah Sahib(RA)
became the Sajjada
Nashin of the Mazar Sharif, and he also became the owner of all the property which
was attached to the
Mazar Sharif directly or indirectly, including The Residence of Baba Sahib in Agwar
Gujran as well as The
Mazar of Bibi Sahiba Mai Deena, all property adjoined and surrounding The Khanqah
Sharif itself.
The residence of Baba Sahib well known in the public as Hawailey Baba Mohkam Din
(RA) where his
Hujra Mubarik is still in contact in the Agwar Gujran. The Holy Quran which Baba
Sahib (RA) recited
all his life is still in The Hujra Mubarik.
Baba Mohkam Din (RA) had declared the following Khulafas and granted them the
Ijaza of the
Naqshbandi Order:
1. Hazrat Syed Hameeray Shah Sahib (RA) Khalifa e Akbar and his Mutabannah (
Mazar in Jagraon
Buried next to Baba Sahib in a separate and high tomb.
2. Hazrat Majnoon Shah Sahib (He was majzoob and was sent to Gawalior)
3. Hazrat Ahmad Shah Sahib, Qutbul Madar (RA), Machhi Waal (RA) Mazar in
Agra, India
4. Hazrat Abdullah Shah Sahib (RA)
5. Hazrat Rahmat Shah Sahib (RA)

Syed Hameeray Shah Sahib had only one daughter named Sayyida Jannat Bibi. She
was married to
Maulvi Mazhar Hassan (Advocate) who was a resident of Civil Lines, Ludhiana. A
road was named after
his name as Maulvi Mazhar Hassan Road. Maulvi Mazhar Hassan was the son of
Maulvi Karim Bakhsh
(Advocate). Who was the First Muslim Lawyer of Ludhiana._
Maulvi Mazhar Hassan became the Sajjada Nashin of Hazrat Mohkam Din Sahib after
the death of
Syed Hameeray Shah Sahib (RA)
In the year 1947 when India was split and Pakistan came into existence Maulvi
Mazhar Hassan Sahib
migrated to the city of Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab, Pakistan where he inherited about
4,500 acres of land
from his father.
He had two sons and a daughter from Sayyeda Jannat Bibi. The names are(Hafiz)
Mehdi Hassan,
Nurul Hassan and Badar Akhtar.
Maulvi Mazhar Hassan and Sayyeda Jannat Bibi had three children out of their
wedlock. Two boys and a
girl , named Mehdi Hassan, Nurul Hassan and Badar Akhtar. Nurul Hassan was born
around the Fajar Time and it was dark all around, but as soon as he was born the
whole room was filled with Light (NUR). When Maulvi Mazhar Hassan called the
Sajjada Nashin of Hazrat Khawaja Sulaiman Taunsvi (RA) at Taunsa Sharif (D.G.
Khan) he was told that it was the day of Urs e Mubarik of Hazrat Khawaja Nur
Muhammad Maharvi (RA) of Chishtian Sharif. In that respect the newborn was
named Nurul Hassan.
Nurul Hassan Sahib was a very learned person. He Graduated from Agriculture

College, Faisalabad in 1942 (Now University). That was his professional journey but
he learned the Quran and other religious studies in Ludhiana. He learned a lot from
his father as well as from his grandfather. He was just a few years old when his
mother Sayyeda Jannat Bibi passed away. This was very painful for him but that was
Allahs will. May Allah bless her soul, sanctify her soul and perfume her grave.
(Ameen)
Nurul Hassan Sahib had a grasp of knowledge, of this world and thereafter. He had a
great sense of humor which never diminished until he passed away. He use to recite
The Quran Sharif on a regular daily basis along with his other Wazaif. He knew
Quran so much that he can correct others just by listening and translating and
explaining what the Ayats meant. He will quote Ahadith during his conversation. He
was always the center of any gathering around.
When he speaks everyone listened. He was a charismatic speaker.
He will read Persian, Urdu and Punjabi verses of the great sufis relevant to the topic
of discussion which made his discourses touching your hearts.
He was an honest person and never took any bribe in his life. He set this example
for us so we can follow his footsteps. Though many times he suffered because of his
honesty. Today what we are is because of him. If he did no not set his high
standards and showed us the right path, I do not know where would we be standing
today.
One strange thing I observe throughout my life that whenever I faced any trouble or
going through any painful times I came and mentioned that to my father, just by
mentioning and sharing with him my worries always vanished immediately and I
became satisfied in my heart and mind. Just by listening or sometimes saying a few
words will change my world. I cannot explain but it always changed my heart, filled

with peace and serenity. When he left us and gone to the Almighty to continue his
journey I felt a great vacuum in myself which can never be filled.
May Allah bless his soul (Amen)
