Faraez-e-Vilayat  |  The Linage of Hzt. Mahdi Maoud Alaihis Salam

HAZRAT SYED MOHAMMED JAUNPURI MAHDI MAOUD ALAHIS SALAM the IMAM (AHS) of the last age, KHALIFA (AHS) of the most Merciful Allah was born on 14th of Jamadiul Avval 847 Hijra, Monday night at Jaunpur - Uttar Pradesh - India. At that time a voice was heard saying—-

"Say truth has arrived and falsehood perished. For falsehood is bound to perish."
"Say truth has arrived and falsehood perished. For falsehood is bound to perish."

And all the idols in the temples of Jaunpur felldown. Janab Makhdoom Shaik Daniyal, who was considered to be a perfect saint at that time, hearing this mysterious voice, understood that a perfect saint had born. In the morning he started the search for the new born and reached the house of Hzt. and enquired, Janab syed Abdullah alias Syed Khan informed that a child was born in his house that night. At the time of birth, he was free from all dirt and impurity, keeping hands on secret parts. He separated his hands only after clothing him. He saw Hzt. Mohammed Salam in the dream saying that name the child after me, and hence he has named the child as Syed Mohammed. Hearing these events, Shaik Saheb knew that the child is MAHDI-E-MAOUD.

The Linage of Hzt. Mahdi MAOUD Alaihis Salam

Hzt. SYED MOHAMMED MAHDI-E-MAOUD ALAIHIS SALAM Bin Syed Abdullah known as Syed Khan Bin Syed Osman Bin Syed Khizar Bin Syed Moosa Bin Syed Quasim Bin Syed Najamuddin Bin Syed Abdullah Bin Syed Yahiya Bin Syed Jalaludding Bin Syed Niamatullah(1) Bin Syed Ismail Bin Imam Moosa Kazim Bin Imam Jaffer Sadiq Bin Imam Mohammed Baquer Bin Imam Zainul Abedin Bin Abi Abdullah Al Hussain Shaheed-e-Karbala Bin Ameerul Mominin Hzt. Ali Murtuza Karamallahu Wajhu.


(1) In some books like Matlai Vilayat and Shawahadal Vilayat etc. It is mentioned like Syed Niaymatullah Bin Moosa Kazim the reason for this is that according to some books like Sirajul Muneer and Sultan-ul-Naseer, the biographies of the holy prophet Sal'am, it is mentioned that the father of Syed Niyamatullah , Syed Ismail Bin Imam Moosa Kazim died at the young age and Syed Niyamatullah was under the guardianship of his grand father and used to call him as father. Hence it was mentioned as Syed Niyamatullah Bin Imam Moosa Kazim).


Hzt. (AS) became orphan in his child hood. He was given formal education by Janab Makhdoom Shaik Daniyal Rah. and he memorised Holy Quran by heart at the age of seven years and completed his education at the age of twelve (12) years. All the scholars of that period awarded him the title of “ A lion among the scholars” (Asad-ul-Ulma) and at 20 years of age the great saints titled him as the leader of the saints (Syyed-ul-Aulia).

In 887 Hijra Hzt. Alahis Salam was given order from Allah to start preaching. In 901 Hijra, on Monday in the Holy Makkah-e-Mouzzama after taking rounds of the Holy Kaba (Tawwaf) Hzt. Alaihis Salam addressed the gathering of people in a loud voice and anounced MAHDAVIAT. In 905 Hijra at Badil addressed a mass of gathering making the presumptive proclamation of the Mahdaviat thus

“ I the humble servant of Allah, is being intimated by Allah that you are MAHDI MAOUD and the concluder of Villayah of the Prophet.' Thus proclaim this fact or else will be of the disobedient lot. Therefore I, in obedience to the commandment of Allah, express the claim that I AM THE MAHDI MAOUD. The concluder of the prophet's villayah and the Caliph of Allah and the follower of MOHAMMED MUSTAFA SAL'AM. One who follows me, is a Momin and one who denied is an infidel (kafir). The Holy Quran and the following of MOHAMMED RASOOL ALLAH are witness support of my claim, this order is not given to me in dream, inspiration, revealation but was directly received from Allah. Now I am quite healthy, not sick having full wisdom not mad. In complete senses not insane, awake and not in sleep or intoxicated and I am not in need of any thing."

At that time (360) people expressed faith in him. Hzt. Alaihis Salam left his native place forever and migrated by the orders of Allah proclaiming MAHDVIAT illuminated hundreds of places with the light of faith. At every place great scholars and learned people investigated his claim by launching discussions and thousands of persons men and women who were fortunate to believe, were inspired and accepted him as Mahdi MAOUD and expressed faith. Great scholars, rich and poor people saints kings and nobles etc. accepted the faith with family and left the wealth and property, kingdom, comforts and luxuries of life and accompanied him on foot, facing poverty and troubles as comforts and riches, bearing oppression and violence of opponents, thousands of people followed him like ardent lovers. In his company, they were fortunate enough to find reward for eternal life. They were fortunate to reach the highest place from where they visualize Allah negating the self. and at every place and in every sermon Hzt. Alahis Salam with the knowledge directly received from Allah used to tell the intricacy and delicate points about the Holy Quran and its explanation which none had heard from the scholars nor found in any commentaries (Tafseer). Among audience many having soft and bright heart (Noorani Qalb) were deeply moved by the truth and real knowledge explained before them.

Among big crowds, of thousands of people the audience present far and near used to hear his voice (sermon) clearly.

At the time of the Holy sermon, the audience seemed to be so absorbed in his speech that they were neither able to note it down nor remember it fully. But the pleasure felt was beyond expression. The pleasure of every speech had a different life long impression on their hearts.

At every place and in every meeting, newcomers became his ardent lovers hearing his impressive sermons converted themselves as followers.

Those people whose hearts were without faith they were engaged in making efforts for opposing and torturing him like the enemies and opposers in the period of Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am.

All the conditions, during the period of Mahdi-e-MAOUD Alahis Salam, his good qualities and his manners were similar to those of Hzt. Nabi Kareem Sal'am.

For those who apply their minds properly and think over the facts there are thousands of proofs about his being MAHDI MAOUD. Besides this the discussions of Hzt. Mahdi Alaihis salam with the scholars of those days are enough to accept the truth (Haq). But like the period of prophet, those who were deprived of the light of faith, as per the Will of God, not only disbelieved but also opposed bitterly. Hzt. Alahis Salam after preaching and imparting complete teaching of Vilayat-e-Mohammadia and also revealing the secrets of Zikr-e-Khafi (Rememberance of Allah within) left this world in FARAH MUBARAK on 19th Ziqadah 910 Hijra at the age of 63 years and there is his holy shrine (tomb). Detailed life history can be seen in the books written about biography of the MAHDI MAOUD. The detailed information about obligatory acts of Vilayat which Hzt. MAHDI MAOUD ALAHIS SALAM made compulsory by the orders of Allah and which are also revealed and supported by the Holy Quranic Verses are given below:-
