Syedi
Fakhruddin Shaheed Saheb(QS)
Date of Wafaat
(Demise): 27th Moharramul Haram
 During
the period of Imam Mustansir Billah (S.A) Maulaya Abdullah (Q.R) was sent to
Hind (Indian sub-continent) by the Imam from Egypt. On reaching Gujarat a large
number of people accepted Iman on the hands of Maulaya Abdullah (Q.R). Maulaya
Bharmal (Q.R) who was the Vazir of the King of Gujarat and his brother Maulaya
Tarmal (Q.R) were amongst those who embraced Islam.
Maulaya Tarmal's (Q.R) revered son Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R) was
spiritually and academically nurtured by Maulaya Abdullah (Q.R) himself.
Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R) while on his way from Sagwara to Galiakot for
Dawat purpose in Waghar region, was attacked by a band of dacoits on the
outskirts of Galiakot. Being a Rajput he and his companions retaliated the
miscreants with much courage. At the time of Maghrib Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R)
performed Namaz and continued countering the dacoits till he was martyred. On
learning the sad event Mumineen immediately came and performed Janaza Namaz and
buried Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R) in Galiakot. He was the first of the
martyred from the progeny of Maulaya Tarmal (Q.R).
Known for miracles hundreds of thousands have been relived of their miseries and
procured their desires on performing Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed's (Q.R) Ziyarat. A
phenomenal occurrence is one of the King of Waghar discriminatingly looted the
revered Ghilaf Mubarak (grave shroud) and other Ghilaf that were placed on the
Qabar Mubarak of Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R) and deliberately used them as
reins of horses. On placing these Ghilaf on the horses the animals
instantaneously were rendered dead. On learning this, the King immediately came
to pay homage and sought pardon while replacing the Ghilaf Mubarak on the Qabar
Mubarak of Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R).
 The
Mazar Mubarak (mausoleum) of Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed (Q.R) was first
constructed in 1245H by Syedna Abdul Tayeb Zakiuddin (R.A), was again renovated
by Syedna Taher Saifuddin (R.A) and reconstructed by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin
Saheb (T.U.S) - who is the eighth Dai from the progeny of Syedi Fakhruddin
Shaheed (Q.R).
