 A brief biography of Hazrat Shah Peeran, Hyderabad

 
Oh Shah of Hyderabad, you are famous throughout the world.
You have done so much for Muslims and Islam in Hyderabad.
 
Hazrat was born in Hyderabad, but his date of birth is not
known. And Hazrat’s name was Syed Shah Abdul Raheem
Quaderi, and Shah Peeran was his patronymic name, and his
father’s name was Syed Anwar Allah Quaderi, who was Hazrat
Syed Abdul Wahab Quaderi’s disciple and a caliph. He was also
a brother-in-law of Hazrat Syed Shah Musa Quaderi.
Hazrat was a Quran-Conner with extensive knowledge of the
manifest and the innermost.
Hazrat used to teach lessons from the books "Miskawat" and
"Bukhari Sharif" to the students. And the number of students at
Hazrat grew into the tens of thousands.Hazrat has an interest in
poetry and literature. And he is an extremely knowledgeable
historical figure.So, in this matter, he has written one couplet
about Hazrat Syed Imam Hussain as follows.
There came a dagger to the throat of Shabir.
And from this event came the date of grief.
 
It is referred  by Ghulam Ali Azad, Abdul Wali Azlat, and
Naqad Ali Khan Ejad, who mentioned this date in the collection
book of "Majma Shura," that Azad, upon hearing this poetry,
 3

stood and kissed his hand suddenly, and Ejad said that due to
this, the scholars of history have no value at all. And some
others said that such poetry will not be found by another person,
and Azlat said that this poetry is a gift from Allah.
Hazrat went on a tour and travelled to the Islamic countries; he
visited Makkah and performed the Hajj pilgrimage.
Death : Hazrat left this mortal world on the 5 th of Ziqad in the
year 1208 Hijri, corresponding to 1794 A.D., and he was buried
in the shrine area of Hazrat Musa Quaderi in Hyderabad. Hazrat
has three sons and four daughters. (See Miskawat Nabwa and
Tadhkirtal Auliya, page 590 of Deccan Part One.)
From ‘Tadhkirtal Auliya Deccan’ Part One and ‘Miskawat
Nabwa’, it is proved that Hazrat’s grave is found inside the
compound of the shrine of Hazrat Musa Quaderi Cemetery in
Purna Pul. But at present, there is nobody who can identify
Hazrat’s grave in the above compound area. If scholar Hazrat
Syed Wahid Badsha Quaderi had been alive, then he could have
identified Hazrat’s grave in the cemetery of Hazrat Musa
Quaderi in Hyderabad.
It is very sad that the above-mentioned person left this mortal
world in the year 1380. In this regard, the author of this Urdu
article has contacted sons of the Hazrat, as well as shrine
custodians, fakirs, and an elderly Azan caller at Qudrat Allah
Khan's mosque. In short, he asked different people, but every
person found themselves in the position of the helpless and
destitute.

If there is a tablet on the grave of the Hazrat, then there will be

no such difficulty and hardship in this situation. Because of the
aforementioned issue, the compiler of the Urdu book is unable
to identify the deceased's grave in Hazrat Musa Quaderi's
cemetery.
The End.
