was Hasani
Syed and was
born in

During his

spent some
time both in
the two
suburbs of
Ghazna,
Jullab where
your
father's
family lived
and Hujwir
where your
mother's
family
lived.
Darashiku,
the author
writes in
Safina-tul-Awliya
that 'Hazrat
was native
of Ghazna
town and
Jullab &
Hujwir was
two suburbs
of Ghazna.
Hazrat used
to live in
Jullab but
then moved
to Hujwir.
Your blessed
father's
grave is in
Ghazna and
your blessed
mother's
grave is
next to Pir
Ali
Hujwiri's
Mamoo
Taj-ul-Auwilyah.
Your noble
family was
famous for
their piety
and
asceticism.
Me (Darashiku,
faqir) have
also visited
your shrine
(in Lahore),
your parents
and your
Mamoo's
shrines. My
father,
Hazrat
Sheikh Ahmed
Rahmatullah
Alaih,
Sajadah-Naseen
Hazrat Data

have
travelled
across
various
Islamic
countries,
such as
Hijaz Sharif,
Bagdad and
Afghanistan,
where he
used to
visit on
regular
basis. He
often used
to say that
in Ghazna
the blessed
shrines of
Hazrat Ali
Hujwiri
Rahmatullah

parents and
other family
members are
situated and
I have
visited them
many times.
After
searching
for many
times, your
noble family
members'
shrines
cannot be
found in
Ghazna or
its suburbs
presently'. |
