SYEDI
ISMAILJI SHAHEED SAHEB (QR)
Date of Wiladat
(birth): 1160 H.
Date of Wafaat (demise): 14th Rabiul Akhar 1200 H.
A descendent from the
privileged lineage of Maulai Bharmal (QR.) Syedi Ismailji (QR.) was known for
his austerity, piety and knowledge.
Such was his benignity and reverence that when Syedi Ismaiji (QR.) and his
revered father Syedi Abdo Moosa Kalimuddin (QR.) passed through the lanes of
Jamnagar and Kutch area, Mumineen and non-Muslims used to gather around both
Sahebs and supplicate for blessings.
Syedna Abdul Tayeb Zakiuddin (RA.) married his daughter Fatema Aai Saheba with
Syedi Ismailji (QR.) in Jamnagar.
In 1199 H the Dai while performing Nass upon Syedna Yusuf Najmuddin (RA) in
Burhanpur honoured Syedi Ismailji with Tarteeb after Syedi Qamruddin (QR.) and
granted him Laqab of Badruddin. Later he was sent for Dawat purpose to
Panchmahal district. During the time of departure the Dai caressed the back and
chest of Syedi Ismailji (QR.) predicting Syedi Ismailji's (QR.) martyrdom. With
his erudition he was able to counter many a dissident with reason and proofs and
exposed their devious activities and inspirations.
Accordingly, after concluding Dawat affairs in Godhra Syedi Ismailji (QR.)
proceeded towards Dohad. On the way, Syedi Ismailji (QR.) while praying Namaz
was attacked with an arrow by a Bhil and thus fell down while calling aloud
"Allah o Akbar!" He pulled out the arrow with one hand as he bled profusely.
Mumineen on hearing his shout immediately rushed to his aid. After some time he
left for heavenly abode.
