Qazi Akhi Jamshed (I/10) He was from the village of Rahra Mau, about 6 km from Baragaon, where his great-grandfather, Qazi Abdul Latif, son of Qazi Jalal Uddin, had settled. Qazi Jamshed left his home at a very early age and went to attend on Makhdoom Jalal Uddin Jahania Jahangasht, one of the most revered sufis of his times. After spending about 12 years in this service, Qazi Jamshed became his Murid. His association with his Pir was so close that Makhdoom Jahania Jahangasht called him Akhi, or friend, which became a permanent prefix to Qazi Jamshed’s name. One Makhdoom Sahib was so impressed with Qazi Akhi’s knowledge and perfection that he gave him a Khirqa and advised him to go and settle at Kannauj. Qazi Jamshed left Uchch and stayed at Kannauj for sometime. But due to congestion and unhealthy surroundings of the area, he shifted to a suburb of the town known as Rajgir, which is at the banks of the river Ganga. Qazi Akhi Jamshed was of very pure habits and did not have any superficiality or worldly feelings. His virtues were his exhaustive devotion to the Almighty, his high ideals, complete contentment with the surroundings and extensive powers of enacting miraculous deeds. Due to his extreme holiness and piety, Kings, Nawabs and other elites used to visit him for fulfillment of their desires. A few of them became his murids as well. Khwaja-i-Jahan, who established an independent Kingdom of Jaunpur, visited Qazi Jamshed frequently, and it is said that due to blessings of Qazi Jamshed, he was able to carve out an empire for himself. The story goes that Khwaja Jehan, when he was at Delhi, visited Makhdoom Jahania Jahangasht and asked for his blessings. Makhdoom Sahib, in turn, told his disciple Qazi Jamshed to request these blessings. Qazi Sahib asked Khwaja Jehan to raise his hands for prayers and asked him to say what he wanted. While listening to his desires, Qazi Jamshed blessed him to become an independent King. Qazi Akhi Jamshed was very popular in the masses. People living around Rajgir loved him. It is mentioned in Mirat-ul-Israr that once during Holi, a festival observed with vigor and enthusiasm in the whole of northern India, a crowd of village folk came to Qazi Akhi and started dancing and singing in front of him. Qazi Sahib also got into the mood of ‘Jazb’, (trance) and joined in dancing. He kept on dancing for about three days without any break and without taking food or water. This activity was not appreciated by his disciples, who considered dancing and singing with infidels to be against the tenets of their religion. They reported this matter to the King of Jaunpur, who did not pay any heed to it and took it lightly, saying that possibly it was a way of expressing one’s gratitude to God at the time of Holi. His stature could also be judged by the fact that Sheikh Kamal Uddin Laharpuri, himself a very renowned Auliya, used to receive instructions in his dreams from Qazi Akhi Jamshed. Once he was told to build an apartment for his wife, and he complied. This place became Sheikh Kamal’s resting place when he died. Sheikh Noor Uddin, a nephew (son of his sister, Sakina) of Qazi Akhi became his Khalifa. The exact date of Qazi Sahib’s demise is not known. Sheikh Abdur Rehman Chishti says that he could not find out the date of his death, but it is definite that Akhi Jamshed was alive through the reign of Sultan Ibrahim Sharqi, who died in 844 H. Therefore, the date of Qazi Sahib’s death could be somewhere around 860 H. Other sources mention the date as 11 Shawwal 801 H, which seems incorrect. There is an interesting story mentioned in Mirat-ul-Kaunain about the day of his death. It says that Akhi Jamshed died on Monday, the 10 Shawwal, and when the body was being taken for burial, an old woman who lived nearby stated wailing “how Akhi Jamshed, being such a perfect saint, could die on Monday, which was supposed to be inauspicious day”. Hearing this, Akhi Jamshed peeked through the ‘Kafan’ and said “Alright if this day is inauspicious for you, then I will live for one more day”. Akhi Jamshed remained alive that day and died the next day. How far it is true is left to the readers to ponder. He is buried at Rajgir, in the district of district Kannauj.

If you want to understand Islam, what it thinks of terrorism, what it thinks of democracy, respecting people (Muslims and Non-Muslims)… all of that you must watch this. It is a half an hour. If in your day you have 24 hours, spare one half hour for this. It may change your outlook on everything. Shaykh Maulana Nazim al-Hakkani is the worldwide leader of the Naksibendi Hakkani Sufi Order, he is a scholar of traditional Islam of the highest station today. He is recognized wordwide as an authority on Islam and its true message. I have done a poor and incomplete job of transcribing this, but inshaAllah I will finish and make it better. It does not help that my space key is broken,but inshaAllah. I will make it better. Transcription: Audhu bi-llahi mina shaitani rajim, It is not.. Medat Ya Sultan Awliya.. It is not a good sitting for me, but… I am trying to take my rest. And… I am asking forgiveness and apologizing that I am sitting in such a way in front of you. [Someone says, "You can sit on us!"] Astaghfirullah Really. Our really Islam, coming to… to show people about their values. If Prophets not coming, no one knowing the value of mankind. Now, because people they lost value of mankind, when they are losing value of mankind, they’re losing also respect to each other. Allah created man, and He Almighty honored them. That means He is giving respect, that extraordinary, or most distinguished creature, through whole creation. Most valuable, most honored one.. is mankind. That means Allah Almighty giving His Respects to them, therefore he order to angels to bow to Adam. Sajdah [Shaykh shows] To bow to Adam That is the limits of respection! Sajdah, to bow, to make Sajdah only for Allah. But He ordered to angels, that just I honored these new ones. These new creatures. I am giving my respect and honor , and my blessings on him! Beware, not to give, not to be not to be unrespected to them. You must respect.. to mankind. Even they (angels) were saying “Oh our lord, why are you going tomake a khalifa on earth? They are coming and making.. They are going to be trouble makers .. first-class! On earth. Killing themselves, making every badness, every wildness violence and you are giving honor to them? Let to be that Honor for ourself” Allah said No no… You don’t know, I know! I am not in need to remind me, you! I know! Don’t say it! Such things. I know what I am doing, I know about what I am creating. I know there is such a characteristic, but even I am making them my representatives or deputies on earth. [Shaykh shows bowing] Shaitan says… says, no I am not making…. democracy! [smiling] Let to make angels to say if they are saying yes to Adam or for me. Must be election, democracy! Teaching democracy to.. that Shaitan. [Speaks to the side, Shaykh Abdul Kerim was on this side in other video's] First democracy, they are! He (Shaitan) saying I’m not accepting such a thing from you, no.. we must do an election, or, Referandum!! As we are making referandum in Cyprus! Even if referendum, if people saying Adam is in trouble, I am happy. If not I am must do it. Even he was saying in himself, even referandum coming for him (Adam’s favour) … I am not accepting that. I am going to say no. As our President saying, if whole world saying yes, referendum, I am not saying. He learned very good lesson fromShaitan. Referendum. Democracy! Allah saying … demon! Jahanamigate. Who are you to speak in my Divinely presence to say this. I am making that King on you, I am giving that honor. You can’t give honor, therefore democracy is Batil.. Honor just give to people from heavens. Not common people making President,, prime minister. You are doing that? Bengali people you are voting also? You are so foolish ones also? We are foolish, but you also? What is that? Persian? That they are saying first class Muslims, Persian. And they are making elections. From which bookare they bringing that election? French people.. ahhhh if we are not making this one, this one, prime minister, we are bombing you. And Chirac.. Chirac? Chirac trembling (saying) “yes sir yes, we? we are changing quickly this prime minister, away.” Americans, saying “what is happening? We are not fearing from you. from Arabs. from China. from Russia.” Let trouble.. let what Allah giving respect and honor.. you must respect. Whole creation respecting man. And only we are not, only 21st century people not respecting each other. Making the value of mankind less than a mouse. Less than a small creature. They are claiming.. Animal’s rights. Hm? Hm? They’re some foolish people making such a.. [arabic] They are saying Oh! we must keep rights of animals. There are no rights for mankind? They are making mankind like dustbin? Garbage? Killing? Not Asking? And asking rights for Animals? Allah saying rights of animals.. yes, they have rights! but rights of mankind that is important! No nations giving respect to other nations. Even nations they are not giving through themselves. Through their citizens, through their nations, respect that Allah respecting. That is the sources of troubles and fightings now. I am coming because I am making my feets towards you, it is not a seating of respect. Because Allah respected you. I must respect you. Everyone much respect each other. That is Islam! No .. fundamentalist. No.. terrorist. No.. such a… a groups of such a people. Trouble makers. That is another name, that is another name. If anything happen. explosion, they are saying we are that one. we are making this. That is because of Islam. That is not Islam, No! No, Allah should ask them, should punish them. [arabic] There is something that must be written to hang everywhere, Islam preventing to harm people or to make harm. If anyone harming you. Allah preventing, saying don’t come to him with, harming him. No Harm in Islam! Islam keeping respects of everyone. Particularly Islam taking much more care of non-Muslims, to keep their rights, who are living with ourselves. Not to touch them, not to harm them! Because it is so difficult thing, Day of Resurrection. Allah is saying you may take, what he harmed you, takingyour rights. Not keeping your rights. Now take from him, give to Him, your rights! Finish.. People, people not taking any care. Islam just coming to keep [arabic] rights of mankind. [arabic] Give everyone their honors according to their levels. And to bring lowest level person to highest level person, it is also forbidden. Because his level is first level, you can’t bring him top level. Therefore this democracy taking the lowest level person to be highest level position, that is Batil. Muslims. But Muslims no mind now. Whole misunderstanding. No more good understanding people from Muslims, finish! Yeah. Respect. [Arabic] You must give the value amoung yourselves… That is teacher. That is professor. Don’t do that one as student. Must be between you, a line for respecting. He must be honored one. At home. Women must give her respect to her husband. Children to must give their respect to parents. Younger ones must give their respect to elder ones, their brothers. In such a way. That is the essence of Islam. Islam just coming to give honor or…[arabic] tradition?.. to give back the respects that people lost. For the time of Jahiliyya.. period of ignorant. Arabs, they never taking any respect for poor people, for women, for weak ones, for old ones, for … servants, for slaves. They never taking any care, any respect. They are only giving who are powerful [Shaykh Maulana taps arms], who their pockets with golden. They giving respect. Others no. Therefore Islam coming to give back the respects to everyones respects. Everyon should be respected on their levels. Because Allah Almighty making also so many levels, people must be on their levels. To give respect, the high level people. The high level people they are carrying the responsibility of the whole nation of the whole ummah. It is not only the top level person, if reaching to highest positon. High level. They also loaded on their shoulders heavy responsibility. They should be asked, from their nations from their people in divinely presence, if he gave the rights of that ones. That he was over them. And Shaitan, thousands of years always trying to make people into two parts: powerful ones and weak ones. And powerful ones never taking any respect or kindness, or mercy on weak ones. Islam coming and giving everyones rights, even weakest ones. They are going to be most pwoerful ones for their rights. The state must look after weak ones! Not powerful ones, no! Therefore Abu Bakr (R) first Khlaipha of Rasulullah (Sallahu’alaiheeWassalam) He was saying, Oh people you must know that if a weak one, anyone taking not giving his right, we are going to support him. That weak one to be the most powerful one through community. And who we are claiming that we are powerful ones, we are rich ones, and asking to take the rights of weak ones. He must know that he is the weakest one in community. Where is this? W here is Islam? Finish. Where is humanity? Just on name. Finish. Yes we must.. Therefore I am asking forgiveness, I am making my feet my towards to you. I must keep your respect. But for some reasons, I am making my feet like this. This i s essence of Islam. In Islam mankind, through their obediency. Going to be much more valuable in Divinely presence. According to obediency and good manner, Allah Almighty giving you much more honor here and hereafter. And Islam never making a difference between people, except what we said that, according to their good dealings with people, and dealings with their lord. And Islam ordering to try, to give their most high respects to Allah and to make their best to servants. Two only. You must try to give your most high respects to Almighty Allah and to do you best for his servants for his creatures. Who is harming people is not Islam! Eh, saying, that is African person. That Asian person. That is European ones. Western people thinking that they are first class people, because their color. white. If different colors going to be no value, no.. not with color but through your actings, your dealings, your respect to Allah Almighty and respect to Allah Almighty passing through respecting His servants. Keep everyones respects, then coming to your respect also. Everything giving through your respect. Give for everything respect. And they are giving to you respect also. May Allah forgive us. And blessings to you, for the most honored one in His Divine Presence, Sayiddina Muhummad (Sallalahu’alaihewassalam). Fatiha.
