BIRTH: He was born on the 28th of Ramadaan-ul-Mubaarak 1160 Hijri.
NAME: His name is Sayyid Aale Ahmed & his title is Ache Mian. His father was has Hazrat Sayyid Shah Hamza (radi Allahu anhu).
PREDICTION OF HIS BIRTH: Hazrat Saahib-ul-Barkaat Shah Barkatullah (radi Allahu anhu) said that he would be blessed with a son (descendant) in the fourth generation, who will strengthen the brightness of the Khandaan. He also gave a cloak to his eldest son, Hazrat Sayyiduna Shah Aale Muhammad (radi Allahu anhu) to pass it over to the child. When the Bismillah Khwaani of Hazrat Ache Mian (radi Allahu anhu) was taking place, Hazrat Shah Aale Muhammad, seated him down on his lap & said "This is the child concerning whom my father foretold."
EDUCATION: He attained his education under the watchful eye of his father & also studied tib (medicine) under the tutorship of Kaleem Nasrullah Saahib Marehrvi.
HIS EXCELLENCE: He was a very powerful Aarif Billah. There was no example to him in Karamaat & knowledge in his time. He was well known for his Mujahida & wazaaif. He personally took care of his disciples & was an excellent example of the character of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). He showed love to all his disciples, but paid special attention to those who came from Badayoun Shareef. He would often say, "Badayoun is our property which was given to us by Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam (radi Allahu anhu)."
Once, a person went to the Naqeeb-ul-Ashraf of Iraq & asked a question relating to the oneness of Allah. He asked him to travel to India & ask his question to Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Aziz Muhaddith-e-Delhvi. The man travelled to India & met Hazrat Muhaddith-e-Delhvi. Hazrat answered his query but he was still not fully satisfied. Hazrat Sheikh Muhaddith-e-Delhvi then said that he should travel to Marehrah Shareef & meet with Hazrat Ache Mian (radi Allahu anhu), as he would get the most satisfying answer from him. Hazrat spent most of his time in Ibaadat. With the exception of his five daily 74 Salaah, he always performed Salaat-ul-Maaqoos & many other wazeefas & amals. He had a special pattern in his daily life. He would wake up in the third portion of the night, make fresh wudhu & then perform his Tahajjud Salaah. He then raised his hands & made dua for prosperity in Deen & for the maghfirat of those close to him. After this, he would read the Kalima Shareef aloud eleven times. The door of the house would then be closed & none would be allowed to enter. He would go into his room for a while & then enter the Khanqah Shareef. He would then sit in the company of the dervishes & fulfill their needs & as a manner of encouragement, he would revise some of their wazaaif. He would then enter the Dargah Shareef & first make Fatiha at the Mazaar of his father. He would then make Fateha at the Mazaar of his beloved mother & all his other forefathers. He would go into the garden, which was adjacent to the Dargah. He would lay a carpet & sit under a fruit tree. After a while, he would then go into the Khanqah again. This was the open court, where everyone was allowed to present his or her problems & difficulties before him. He trained his disciples with firmness. He very seldom gave wazifas & amals to ordinary people. Like his predecessors, he assisted those who needed financial assistance etc, very discreetly. He ate two or three thin rotis with some gravy or moong dhall for lunch. He would then rest for a while (Qailullah). He would then make fresh wudhu & pray his Zohar Salaah. He would then become engrossed in the recitation of the Holy Quran. He would then go to the Khanqah & read the wazifa of Duroods. He would then pray Asar Namaaz at the Masjid & return to the Khanqah. He would go into the Musjid for Maghrib Salaah & then pray the Khatm-e-Khajigaan after Maghrib & then return to the Khanqah. He would then sit a while with his Khaadims who showed great respect & honour to him. He would then pray his Isha Salaah & the doors would be closed.
BOOKS & TREATIES: One of the most famous books written by Hazrat Ache Mian (radi Allahu anhu) is a book called Aa'in-e-Ahmadi, another book was compilation of wazeefas & special amals. He also wrote the famous Adaab-us-Saalikeen & the Diwan Ash'aar.
HIS KARAAMATS: Janaab Sheikh Rasool Bakhsh says that once a soldier came to meet Hazrat. He suffered from leprosy & thus stood very far away from Hazrat. Hazrat saw him & called him closer. He said that he was not worthy of coming too close. Hazrat again asked him to come closer.
When he came close to Hazrat, Hazrat placed his hand over the area that was affected with white patches & said, "There is nothing here" When the man looked, he found that there was no sign of the illness."
It is in Asaar-e-Ahmadi that a person from Bukhara came to Marehrah Shareef. He performed Zohar Namaaz att he Khanqah & then presented himself before Hazrat Ache Mian (radi Allahu anhu). He said, "I heard your name & came here to gain spiritual excellence, as I do not have the ability to make Mujahida etc. I wish to attain this without any striving & just through your blessed sight." Hazrat smiled at him & said, "You wish to attain such a huge valuable & yet you do not wish to go through any strenuous exercise?"
One person from amongst those seated in the gathering mocked the man & said, "Do you think that it is some type of sweet, that it can just be put into your mouth?"
On hearing this, Hazrat said, "Do not say such a thing. Nothing is far from the Power of Allah." Hazrat then gave him a Durood Shareef & asked him to read it. That night he read the Durood Shareef & was blessed with seeing the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in his dream. The man's entire life changed in a few moments. The mystical secrets dawned upon him & he entered the world of Tasawwuf. In the morning, he went to Hazrat Ache Mian (radi Allahu anhu) & said, "Last night, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said to me, "after every century, there will be such a person in my Ummah, who will revive my Deen." He said, "Huzoor! In this Century, you are that personality."
