Dear Islamic brothers! 20 Safar-ul-Muzaffar is the Urs (anniversary of passing) of Sayyiduna Daata Ali Hajweri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه. Let’s listen to a short introduction to him:

Birth and lineage

Sayyid Daata Ganj Bakhsh Ali Hajweri رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه was born in around 400 AH in the city of Ghazni. After a while, his family moved to the region of Hajwer, which is why he is known as Hajweri. (Urdu Dairah-tul-Ma’arif, vol. 9, p. 91, summarised)

His name is ‘Ali’ and his father’s name is ‘Usman.’ His lineage goes back to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan Mujtaba رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ via six links. (Buzurgaan-e-Lahore, p. 222, selected)

His Kunyah is ‘Abul Hasan.’ (Urdu Dairah-tul-Ma’arif, vol. 9, p. 91)

His well-known titles are ‘Ganj Bakhsh’ and ‘Daata Sahib.’

He was a great scholar, Shaykh of Tareeqah, devoted worshipper and a pious predecessor. His book ‘Kashf-ul-Mahjoob’ is world renowned. He passed away on 20^th Safar-ul-Muzaffar 465AH in Markaz-ul-Awliya, Lahore (Pakistan), and his blessed shrine is also situated there which is a place where supplications are accepted. To gain more knowledge about the biography of Data Sahib, read the booklet of Maktaba-tul-Madinah titled ‘Faizan e Data Ali Hajweri’.

Dear Islamic brothers, اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, fortunate devotees of the Prophet travel with Madani Qafilahs in the month of Safar on the ‘Urs of Sayyiduna Data Ganj Bakhsh رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and to convey rewards to the blessed mother رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْھَا of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ. Therefore, make an effort and travel with the devotees of the Prophet with the Madani Qafilahs to convey rewards to Data Sahib رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه and the blessed mother رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْھَا of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
