Syed Shah Jamal
Syed Shah Jamal Uddin Naqvi Bukhari was also known as Baba Shah Jamal or Hussaini Syed. He was a great scholar of Islam, and a powerful personality who changed the course of history in many ways. His life was full of love and compassion, and he was an inspiration to people of all faiths.
He lived in Lahore, in the Ichra neighbourhood, during the time of the Mughal emperor Akbar the Great. Akbar’s advisers had introduced a syncretic religion known as Din-i-Ilahi, which mixed Hinduism and Islam with elements from other faiths. But the Muslims in the region were not satisfied with this change and Syed Shah Jamal decided to confront these changes and bring his subjects back to orthodox Islam. Syed Shah Jamal died in 1671 CE. His grave is located at the Shah Jamal Colony Tomb, near the Muslim town of Ichra. It is situated opposite the Forman Christian College.
A legend tells us that the Sufi Saint Syed Shah Jamal danced on the roof of a building that was sunk to its present height. Afterwards, the building collapsed on top of him and he was buried under the rubble. His followers had to leave his mortal remains buried in the rubble.
Syed Shah Jamal was born in the year 1588 CE. He was also known as Hussaini Syed and was the son of Syed Yaqoob Uddin Ahmad Shah. After his birth, he moved to Shakargarh. The village where he lived is now known as Natho Kot Shakargarh.
He was also a great teacher and mentor. He taught many people how to live a happier and healthier life. He also taught them to understand the importance of meditating. His message is powerful and life-changing. In fact, this guru is so influential that he was known as “The Great Teacher of the Muslim World”.
His Damadama
The Damadama of Hazrat Syed Shah Jamal, also known as the Damadama of Qalandar, is an important place for Muslims. It is the place where the ancestor’s life story is written on a marble slate. Hazrat Shah Jamal was born in the year 1588 CE. His father was Syed Ahmad Shah bin Syed Shah Dolat Qattal. He was the seventh son of Makhdoom Syed Sadruddin Rajan Qattal and was the seventh descendent of Makhdoom Syed Sadruddin Rajan Qattal.
The Damadama was seven stories high. Hazrat Baba Shah Jamal (RA) commanded his workers to work during the day and build the damadama during the night. These workers were paid three times their normal wages and were also given a nightly allowance. The workers were amazed at this generous gesture and wondered how an ordinary man could afford to pay such a hefty sum to workers.
Baba Shah Jamal had a disciple named Hassu who traded in wheat. Hassu learned from his master that he should be honest in his dealings. He stopped weighing the wheat himself and let others weigh it instead. Some customers weighed more wheat than others weighed less than they had expected. But when it came time for Hassu to trade, he was rewarded handsomely. His wealth soon grew, and he wished to stay in the premises of the Guru’s Damadama.
The Damdama Sahib was a sacred place for the Sikhs. It was the place where the Guru and Baba Deep Singh met. The Guru told them about the fate of his two younger sons. One of them, Zorawar Singh, had been murdered by a Muslim governor, while the other was killed by the Sikh prince Taimur Shah.
His disciple Hassu
It is said that Baba Shah Jamal’s disciple Hastu was the patron saint of oilmen. He was a contemporary of Lal Husayn and owned a shop in the Chawk Jhhanda, near the Mori gate, selling corn and oil at the direction of Pir Shah Jamal.
According to tradition, Baba Shah Jamal lived in the area around Ichra during the time of Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great. Akbar had revised the basic tenets of Islam and introduced a new religion known as Din-e-Ilahi (Divine Faith). It was a syncretic faith with an all-inclusive purpose.
