Karamaat ( Miracles ) Of "Taj-ul-Auliya" Hazrat Shah Nizamuddin Hussain (RA)

He never made a show of his supernatural powers and infact used to hide and attribute the same to the will of Allah. Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) was well known for his super natural powers. On whomsoever he glanced, the person got on righteous path. Whenever a sinner came and met Huzoor, he apologized for the sins and stood reformed.

There are numerous incidences of Karamaats of Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) compiled in a book ‘Karamat-e-Nizamia’ by Khalifa Moulvi Mohammad Faiq Sahib Some of them are mentioned below:

01.During the period of mutiny Hazrat Nizamuddin Hussain (RA) visited Rampur. It was getting dark so he stayed in a village. He heard the wailing sounds of a Hindu lady. He sent his disciples to enquire about the cause. The disciples came back and told him that the lady had lost her children earlier and only one had survived. The only surviving child had also expired now and that is why she was crying. Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) asked his disciples to bring the lady to him. When the lady came Hazrat Qibla blessed her with the information that a son will born and he will survive and remain alive. And after a year the son was born. The lady was delighted and brought her son to Hazrat Qibla and requested him to name his son. Hazrat Qibla named him as Ram Sahaye.

02. One of the Khalifas of Hazrat Qibla named Syed Hussain Shah had travelled far and wide. Once when was travelling to Rome he found himself lost in the desert surrounded by hills. It was very hot and he roamed around the desert without food and water. He was helpless and getting weak. At that moment he invoked the name of his pir Hazrat Qibla with a request to help him. Soon he saw Hazrat Qibla in the desert, and saw that he was annoyed on his having travelled alone. He asked him to close his eyes. When Syed Hussain Shah opened his eyes he was in the city of Rome, where people took him to their house and treated him with great hospitality.

03. Once Hazrat Nizamuddin Hussain (RA) asked all his disciples to inform all “Niazis” to recite “Nade Ali” Sharif 41 times because a great calamity was going to occur inIndia. The persons who did so shall remain unaffected by the calamity. A little later the same thing happened and thousands of people died due to the plague

04.One day a person brought a child who was half dead. Hazrat Qibla asked him to take the child to the doctor. But the person started crying that he had come to Khanqah with great hope and that only Hazrat Qibla could save his child. At last Hazrat Qibla asked him to bring the child to him. He put his hand on the body of the child and asked the child to get up. Then he desired the child to be taken to the tomb of Hazrat Niaz-be-Niaz (RA) and asked the people to rub the dust of the tomb on the child’s body. The child got well and walked away.

05.Rai Kundan Lal belonged to an aristocratic family of Bareilly. He was a great devotee of Hazrat Qibla and was his disciple. When he was going to Mathura to visit the holy temple he requested Hazrat Qibla to accompany him. When they reached Mathura Hazrat Qibla expressed his desire to visit the mandir as well. Muslims were not allowed entry inside the temple. So when Lalaji expressed his inability to take him inside the mandir Hazrat Qibla replied that Sri Krishna Ji to whom the Mandir belonged himself would call him. He accompanied Lalaji and went inside the temple where no one except the devout pujari was allowed. No one objected to his entry. There the pujaris paid great respect and offered hospitality. When he was face to face to the idol of Sri Krishna he complained that he had lot of sweets but no salty dish was served to him. As he walked away the Head Pujari came running and said that Sri Kirishna Ji had desired for puri kachori to be served. They never had faced such a situation before.

06. There was a respectable English man named Alfre Hersey. He was a soldier and a great hunter. Once after taking part in a shooting competition he came to Hazrat Qibla and told him that since he had missed the target he may fail in the competition. Hazrat Qibla told him not to worry and assured that he will get through with flying colours. The English man again mentioned that since he had missed the target in the Shooting Competition how could he get through. Hazrat Qibla said that God Almighty, was the most powerful and he could make an impossible thing possible. He further told that if he will get through inspite of his performance will he start believing in one God. The English man replied in affirmative. When the result of the competition was announced, the Englishman qualified with distinction and was awarded the gold medal for the excellent performance. He came to Hazrat Qibla and got converted to Islam and became his mureed.

07. Hazrat Sarkar Siraj-us-Salekeen (RA) his son once narrated that when the war with Czar of Russia was going on, once in the night Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) felt some burden on his chest and difficulty in respiration. When Sarkar Siraj-us-Salekeen asked the reason, he replied that since the war was going on between the Czar of Russia and King of Rome, Hazrat Ali (KW) got angry with the Czar of Russia and ordered him to sign a treaty with the king of Rome, failing which he could be murdered. Then the Czar of Russia signed a treaty with the King of Rome and withdrew his forces. Huzoor Tajul Aulia was accompanying Maula Ali (KW) on this occasion on return he was feeling exhausted. After eight days there was a news in the Press that a treaty had been signed between Czar of Russia and the King of Rome.

08.Moulvi Azizuddin Sahib was a disciple of Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA). When government issued a notification that only those who clear a judicial examination shall be appointed Munsif Magistrate, Azizuddin Sahib sought Huzoor’s permission to appear for the examination. Huzoor not only gave the permission but also assured him that he shall get through the examination and shall be appointed as the Munsif Magistrate. People were wondering us to how Azizuddin Sahib who had not read the prescribed books will get through the examination. A little later when the result of the examination was out as predicted by Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA), Azizuddin Sahib got through and was appointed as a Munsif Magistrate.

09. Hazrat Sirajus Salekeen (RA) has narrated how one of the disciples of Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) went to Mecca to perform the Haj and how while on return travel he lost all his money and belongings. Worried he started the journey to Jeddah on foot. He was hungry and thirsty. While he was walking he heard somebody calling him by name. As he stopped he saw his Pir Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) who came to help him. Huzoor Tajul Aulia told him to take some rest and assured him that there shall be no problem. He went to sleep and then was awakened by a person asking him as to when had he returned from Haj? On his saying that he was still in Madina, the person clarified that he was in Piliphit and not in Madina, The concerned disciple did not disclose to anyone as to how he had reached there but went straight to Bareilly Sharief to pay respects to his Peer Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA). As he wanted to narrate, Huzoor advised him not to disclose anything.

10. One of his disciple and Khalifa Mohd Gul Sahib narrated that his father was present when Huzoor Tajul Aulia was having a meeting with a foreigner who had come to pay his respects. He gave Huzoor an envelope. Huzoor Tajul Aulia (RA) opened it and out of reverence touched his eyes to the inscription written in gold and kept it in a box. The person who had brought the envelope told that he had gone to Madina and prayed at the holy tomb of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to guide him to a suitable spiritual guide. When he left the tomb and came to the place where he was staying he met an Arab who advised him to go to India and meet a renowned personality of Bareilly Hazrat Shah Nizamuddin Hussain. He also gave an envelop to be handed over to Hazrat Sahib. So the person came straight from Medina Sharif to Barielly and became a disciple of Huzoor Qibla. The envelope apparently contained the desire of the Holy Prophet to accept the bearer as disciple.

11.An aristocrat of Akbarpur by the name of Roshan Ali Khan Niazi developed strained relations with an Englishman who used to live near his village. He troubled Roshan Ali a lot. The relations got so much strained that the Englishman complained to the District Collector and got an arrest warrant in the name of Roshan Ali issued. In great trouble Roshan Ali rushed to his Pir in Bareilly. Huzoor Tajul Aulia advised him to go straight to the Collector and lodge a complaint against the Englishman. When Roshan Ali went to the Collector he listened to the complaint sympathetically and withdrew the warrant. He gave a strict warning to the Englishman not to trouble Roshan Ali again.

03. Once a Nawab organized a Mehfil-e-Sama (Qawwali ceremony) and invited all the Sufis to attend it. Actually he wanted to make a mockery of the Sufis who used to go into the state of Haal and Wajd ( going into a state of ecstacy when they were in direct communion with God while listening Qawwali). The Sufis came to Hazrat Niaz-be-Niaz (RA) and told him about the motive of the Nawab and requested Him to accompany them. Along with his disciples Huzoor Qibla (RA) reached the gathering for sama. There were special arrangement for the elites and Nawabs and they were to sit on chairs . The Sufis and Qawwals (musicians) were made to sit on the floor.

“Ta Naqsh-Zamin-bood-Zama-bood-Ali-bood

Ta- Surat Paiwand-Jahan-bood-Ali-bood”

Inspired by the couplet Huzoor Qibla started waving his scarf. All the elite and privileged seated on the chairs fell down and started rolling on the ground. Nawab's brother came and apolized to Qibla Huzur.Huzoor Qibla then recited some verses and sprinkled the holy water on the persons who had fallen down. They regained consciousness and apologized for the disrespect.

Huzoor Qibla went along with his disciples and asked one of his disciples to lie down near the cot of the patient. The disciple’s stomach started swelling and the patient’s pain started subsiding. The condition of the disciple became serious as the patient got well and asked for food. The disciple was then taken to the Khanqah and he too got well in a day or two.

05. Huzoor Qibla at the request of his disciples went to Bachraon near Moradabad. His seven disciples had invited him for a feast at their respective places on the same date.None of the seven disciple knew that someone else has also invited Huzur Qibla.Huzoor Qibla had his meals at the place of his stay and went his room for rest and told those present not to disturb him till he himself may come out.

Munshi Ali Bakhsh who was incharge of the Kitchen, informed Huzoor Qibla that only five Kg of floor was left in the larder and it would not be sufficient for all those present. Huzoor Qibla asked him to bring those five kg bread and covered it with thick sheet and told him to distribute the same without looking as to how much was left. The bread was distributed to all those present and after everyone had his share, the Munshi to his surprise found the five kg bread intact.
