Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) acquired knowledge of meta physics, philosophy, astrology and astronomy. He excelled in the art of soldiery, sword fighting, target shooting and the use of bow and arrow. He had developed expertise in various forms of music and even the acknowledged musicians at that time paid obeisance to him. He was very sensitive for the aroma of scent. He could tell just by smell as to what other plants were close to the flower bed out of which the scent had been prepared.

He was of 16 years 4 months when the visaal of Hazrat Qibla Shah Niyaz R.A. happened. 

On 6th Jamdiussani 1302 Hijri, i.e., 23rd March 1865 the spiritual authority of Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) was transferred to his son Siraj-us-Salekeen Hazrat Shah Mohiuddin Ahmad (RA). In the presence of all disciples and Khalifas Huzoor Tajul Aulia announced Hazrat Shah Mohiuddin Ahmad (RA) to be his spiritual successor. Hazrat Shah Mohiuddin Ahmad (RA) was made to sit on Masnad. Huzoor Tajul Aulia took off his turban and placed it on the head of Hazrat Shah Mohiuddin Ahmad. He then stood up and offered two rupees as nazar to Hazrat Shah Mohiuddin Ahmad (RA) as per the tradition. He further informed that these two rupees are the same which his peer had offered to him at the time of Sajjada Nashini and Hazrat Maulana Fakhre Pak had given to Hazrat Niaz-be-Niaz (RA).

Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) had started giving indication to his son that soon he may be leaving this world.

a cloth merchant brought beautiful silk. Huzoor Tajul Aulia sent this to his wife Bibi Sahiba and asked her to pick some otherwise after sometime she may not be able to wear the same. Bibi Sahiba refused saying that she already had lot of Silk so there was no need for this.

When he went to village Sirsa for hunting, he caught a single fish and made it clear that he will not hunt in future. Hazrat Sirajus Salekeen (RA) mentioned that two days before his leaving this world he used to recite these couplets and got engrossed in meditation.

“ Mohe Madhuban mei Shayam Bulaye Gayo”

“Soti thi Mai to Apne Mandir Mein”

“Mohe Soti ko Aai Jagaye Gayo”

“Mohe Madhuban mei Shyam Bulaye Gayo”

               This couplet describe the love expressed for the beloved. It says that Shayam has called me to his place. I had been sleeping in my temple, he came and woke me up. Shayam has called me to his place.

A day before his visal he raised his both hands as if to shake the same with somebody. When Hazrat Sirajus Salekeen (RA) enquired as to with whom he wanted to shake hands, he told that all the holy saints of this order had come to enquire about his illness. That’s why he raised his hands to welcome them. Hazrat Tajul Aulia (RA)

After a brief illness left on his heavenly abode on 1st Ramzan 1322 Hijri (9thNovember 1904),Thursday at 2:10 PM
