Hazrat Syedna Pir Mehr Ali Shah
of Golra Sharif holds a prominent position among the eminent scholars of Islam
and Pakistan, who, in the wake of the demise of the Muslims, instilled in their
hearts the feelings of monotheism, love for the beloved Prophet, acceptable
wealth, and adherence to the Shariat of Islam, and paved the way for the
establishment of an independent and dignified autonomous Islamic state. He
fought every anti-Islamic individual and movement with great courage and
perseverance and convinced the people of Islam that the nation of the Prophet
Hashemite is special in its composition.
He was the greatest preserver and
proponent of the two-nation theory in the Indian subcontinent. Pir Mehar Ali Shah Mohalla, Sadat
Qadir of Golz town and tehsil of Pochohar and Rawalpindi district were the eyes
and lamps of Gilani. In 1859, when the ominous shadow of British imperialism
was gradually enveloping the entire subcontinent, the sun of knowledge and
guidance rose in the town of Golra Sharif, under the rule of the Sikhs, whose
bright and shining rays spread the light of the true teachings of Roman Islam
not only to the subcontinent but also to the entire Arab countries, Turkestan
and the African continent.
His early education and training
were under the supervision of teachers from Khanqah Khushiya in Golra. Later,
he studied under Maulana Muhammad Shafi in Bhoi, Hassan Abdal area and Maulana
Hafiz Sultan Mahmud in Anga Sharif, Son Saksar area and left for India to
complete his studies in the field of rational sciences. During the Qiyaam Anga Sharif,
he accompanied his respected teacher to Sial Sharif, District Sargodha, and
also took allegiance from him in the Chishtia Nizamia order. In the Alia Qadri
order, he
His father's maternal uncle,
Hazrat Pir Syed Fazal Din, also known as Bade Pir Sahib, was already a
beneficiary. In India, he first went to Hazrat Maulana Ahmed Hassan Kanpuri, a
Muhaddith, but he was about to leave for Hajj, so he was not able to visit him.
After being excused, he went to
Aligarh and joined the teachings of Maulana Lutfullah Ali Garhi. He stayed
there for two and a half years and completed his religious studies. Later, he
visited Maulana Ahmad Ali Saharanpuri to specialize in Hadith. There, he also
benefited from the blessings of Hadith and the Sahib of Hadith for about two
and a half years. In 187, he obtained the degree of Syed and reached the
well-known homeland on the orders of his perfect teacher and continued his
teaching and teaching. At the same time, he was satisfied through physical
exercises and struggles and his spiritual progress also continued. With the
blessings and blessings of his teachers, he was also granted the values of
Caliphate and permission.
His residence in Gwara Sharif,
his perfect mastery of the rational and the immaterial, and his effective style
of eloquence and reasoning in teaching soon made him a source of inspiration.
His fame and influence expanded day by day, and in addition to many great
scholars and sheikhs, a large number of the common people recognized his
excellences, form, and content and became filled with the spirit of eloquence.
His most prominent characteristics included his complete knowledge of the true
Sharia and the Quran, his compassionate and compassionate attitude towards the
rights of God, and his truthfulness and boldness in all situations, whose
friends were Friends and foes were also recognized.
Hazrat Pir Mehr Ali Shah was not
only a master in external and internal sciences but also held a very prominent
position as a eloquent poet, an authentic scholar and a practical scholar and a
great thinker and administrator. During his blessed life, he not only
neutralized all the anti-Islamic forces but also, through his scholarly
knowledge and religious understanding, uprooted those false ideas and
ideologies whose aim was to destroy the Islamic nation by changing the
intellectual dimension and worldly attitudes of the Wahid Muslim Ummah.
In that era, Islamic principles
and teachings were being attacked from all directions without mercy and without
mercy. Atheism, naturalism, distortion and discord, denial of Hadith and Quran
were being promoted. The established beliefs of Islam were being targeted and
the pillars of religion were being used as a training ground by the agents of
British imperialism in various guises. The British government, in order to
eradicate Islam and Muslims, had used the most effective arrow of its quiver,
the denial of the finality of the Prophethood and the creation of a native
prophet, in the form of a self-proclaimed prophet, and had understood that now Islamic
unity would be shattered and the force that had kept the Islamic world united
would be destroyed. In this era, there was a dire need for a mosque, religion
and nation to protect and correct the authentic and established beliefs of
Islam, which Allah, the Almighty, fulfilled in the form of Hazrat Pir Mehr Ali
Shah.
Pir Sahib defeated every
anti-Islamic movement and ideology with his divine worthiness, passion for love
of Mustafa and the finger of faith, making the truth of other Islamic beliefs
clear and strengthened the Islamic nation's faith and belief in the Quran and
Sunnah. He stopped the path of distortion in the religion in the name of
renewal of religion and reform of beliefs and by beautifully interpreting and
explaining Islamic teachings in the light of the Prophet's instructions, he not
only stopped the growing storm of atheism but also steadied the wavering steps
of the people of Islam with such acceptance that today, almost eighty years
after his passing, the infidel powers have not found any refuge to fulfill
their evil intentions. Hazrat Pir Mehr Ali Shah's greatest achievement was
exposing the false claims of the British self-made false prophet and ending the
sedition.
He used to oppose the
prophethood. Through his works "Shams-ul-Ilaha", he clarified the
lies and slander of Mirza Qadiani and proved the correctness and truthfulness
of the true teachings and beliefs of Islam, thus preventing the spread of this
fitna not only in the Indian subcontinent but also in the entire Islamic world,
which would have further divided the Muslims into merely regional human and
national groups instead of members of the Islamic nation. In the 19th century,
when the Muslim world had not yet come into existence and when the flag of
British tyranny was flying in full glory across the subcontinent,
The country was flourishing with
splendor and Allama Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam were still in their student days.
Hazrat Pir Mehr Ali Shah was the only one who was fully trusted by all the
sects and groups of the Islamic nation, namely Sunnis, Shiites, Deobandi,
Barelvi, Hadith and Quran. As the unified and most trusted leader of the
Islamic nation, he stood in front of a large crowd of scholars, scholars and
the public in the Badshahi Mosque of Lahore to refute Mirza Qadiani's claim to
prophethood. At that time, if Hazrat Sahib's help had not been grateful, the
identity of the Muslims as a nation would have been lost and the struggle for
freedom and the achievement of Pakistan would not have been successful in this
match, as a result of which the ranks of British imperialism were thrown out of
the subcontinent and the establishment of Pakistan was made possible. In this
sense, he must be counted among the real founders of Pakistan.
The existence of Hazrat Pir Mehr
Ali Shah was a systematic amalgamation of divine blessings, divine harvest and
the gifts of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for
the Saudi Islamic subcontinent. He was certainly a unique individual who was
capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of the Caliphate of the Prophet. His
works "A'la-e-Kalimath-ul-Allah Takhchi-e-Haqq" Shamsul-Hidayah Saif
Chishti, Hadiyat-ur-Rasul, Al-Futuhat-ul-Muhammadiya and Tasfiyya Mabin Sunni
Shia, in addition to his collection of letters Maktoobat-e-Mehr, this
collection of sayings, Malfuzat-e-Mehriya and various religious and
jurisprudential. Selection of Fatwas, Fatadi-e-Mehr, he was still committed to
the path of moderation and moderation in accordance with the teachings of the
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for guidance in
every aspect of life for the Muslim Ummah and the scholars of Islam and was
against extremism and takfir. Similarly, he was also opposed to fabricated
interpretations and renewal and definition in Islamic Sharia. It was only
through the writing, speech and knowledge of the great man to prevent the
promotion of fanatical attitudes and thoughts and beliefs by different sects
and groups and to promote harmony and unity among Islamic sects that it was possible
for the Muslims of the subcontinent to establish and maintain their national
and ethnic identity.
Hazrat Pir Mehr Ali Shah, by
giving political guidance to the Muslims of the subcontinent, promoted correct
religious ideas by opposing the path of the people who were facing destruction
as a nation. He also opposed their joining the Congress and saved them from
being divided and destroyed, especially from the harmful effects of anti-Muslim
movements like the Migration Movement and the Hindu-Muslim Unity, which were
aimed at eliminating Muslims as a nation from the subcontinent. Apart from
this, another great and valuable service of his was that in that era when there
were vigorous efforts to eradicate Islam, Muslims and Islamic teachings, he
established centers for teaching Tafseer, Hadith and Fiqh through madrasas and
khanqahs in various parts of the subcontinent for the full and comprehensive
dissemination of Islamic beliefs and Islamic teachings.
Hazrat Pir Mehr Ali Shah is a
very mature, righteous and comprehensive personality, about whom there is not
much that can be said and written. In short, it can be said that he is a
benefactor of the Islamic subcontinent who bravely fought against the infidel,
apostate, irreligious and tyrant forces, who defeated the ungodly in the
struggle of the nation and led them towards their goal, and lit such lamps of
knowledge, wisdom and action, by whose light Pakistan is still shining today.
The Imam of Muslims, the reformer
of religion and nation, Hazrat Syed Na Pir Mehr Ali Shah (may Allah have mercy
on him), is issuing a commemorative stamp of Rs. 8 on July 30, 2013.
