HIS EXCELLENCE: He was an embodiment of apparent & hidden knowledge & a great Aabid & Aarif. He was always engrossed in the Ibaadat of Almighty Allah.

He had a special connection to the Darbaar of Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaaz (radi Allahu anhu). Once whilst in Ajmer Shareef with his father, he attained great spiritual blessings through the Rooh of Hazrat Khwaja Ghareeb Nawaz (radi Allahu anhu).

His sight was very powerful. If he placed his spiritual sight on any person, that person would lose control & become physically unconscious. Once a person came to him & said that his heart had become very hard & even if a close relative of family member passed away, he felt nothing. He requested the Sheikh to place his blessed sight on him. Hazrat held both his hands & then shook them, but he still remained in the same condition.

He did this thrice & on the third time, his heart became soft & tears began to flow from his eyes. When he regained his senses, he immediately took bai'at at the hands of the Sheikh & became from amongst his devotees.
