Shrine of Hazrat Khawaja Shah Suleman Taunsvi (R.A)
Khawaja Suleman was born in 1184 A.H (1170 A.D) at village Gargogi Distt. Loralai (Balochistan). His father's name was Zakaria bin Abdul Wahhab. He Belonged to Jaffar tribe. On north-east lies a vast & green hilly area of Darug.The elder brother of Khawaja Suleman, whose name was Yousuf, died in young age. His father died, when Khawaja Suleman was a chiled. He adapted pupil hood of Hafiz Muhammad Yousuf Jaffar, Imam of mosque of Gargogi, for learning the Holy Quran by heart (to become Hafiz-e-Quran). Besides, learning the Holy Quran by heart, Khawaja Suleman got primary educations in Persion Language & Litrature. For further education he became the pupil of Mian Hassan Ali of Taunsa Sharif, studied "Pand Nama, Attar & Gulistan-e-Saadi. After some time, at a distance of 5 "Koos" (a distance in local language, which is a little longer than a mile), he came to a village "Lahngah", at the eastern bank of Indus & studied Persion from Wali Mian Sahib. He went to Qazi Muhammad Aqil Chishti (Kot Mithan) & got admission in Dar-Ul-Uloom for higher education & studied Arabic.
Khawaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi visited Uch Sharif in those days, when Khawaja Suleman was studying at Kot Mithin. Qazi Muhammad Aqil Chishti & his pupils went to Uch Sharif for Ziarat of Khawaja Maharvi & attended his Majlis (sitting).
Khawaja Suleman was very much impressed & inspired by his eminence & spirituality & requested for "Bai'at". Khawaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi accepted the request & Khawaja Suleman was made his Mureed (disciple) when Khawaja Suleman was 15 old years at that time. He came to Kot Mithan by the order of his spiritual father "Pir". He was so much fallen in love of his "Pir" that he went on going to his Pir off & on the remained in dilemma for a long time. Now he was bored from the madrisa.
At last the love of his Pir suppressed him & he was fed apparent knowldge. An ambition rose in his mind to see Hazrat Khawaja Fakhar-Ud-Din Dehlvi the Pir of Hazrat Khawaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi. So, in Jamad-Us-Sani, 1199 A.H, 1784 A.D, he set out to Mehar Sharif on foot all alone. He continued his journey via Uch, Bekanir & Ajmair Sharif. At last he reached Delhi.
Alas! Khawja Dehlvi had passed away two days earlier, when Khawaja Suleman arrived at Dehli. He was much grieved for being deprived by his fortune, for seeing Khawaja Dehlvi & sitting in his Majlis.
During his stay at Delhi, he got sipiritual inspiration by visiting & sitting at the shrines of Hazrat Khawaja Nizam-Ud-Din Aaulia, Hazrat Khawaja Qutub-Ud-Din Bakhtiar Kaki, Hazrat Khawaja Nasar-Ud-Din Mehmood Chiragh-I-Delhi & Sheikh Kamal-Ud-Din Allama. He aslo visited the Shrine of Hazrat Ameer Khusroo & Hazrat Shah Kaleem Dehlvi. On his way back, he visited the shrine of Hazrat Khawaja Moeen-Ud-Din Chishti. He met Mian Shamas-Ud-Din a disciple of Hazrat Khawaja Fakhar-Ud-Din Dehlvi & Ali Muhammad Khan.
