Saving the Sinking ship in Sea

Among the mureeds (Sufi disciples) of Hazrat Nathar Auliya, there was a Roman trader who was on a business trip to Ethiopian city of Harmaz along with his family. During the trip, he purchased valuable diamonds, pearls and 24 horses of finest breeds in the city and continued his journey sailing onboard with his family and valuable possessions. One day during his voyage, the ship in which he was sailing due to whirlwind and hurricane started sinking and during this time Mureed invoked Baba Nathat Auliya's help.

On hearing mureeds (Sufi disciple) prayer, Hazrath Nathar Auliya immediately signalled Hazrath Baba Fakhruddin who was seated in his master’s divine company to rescue the trader. Baba Fakhruddin (R.A) immediately bowed and stretched his hand to pull the ship with his spiritual power. On noticing that Baba being in Sajda (an act of bowing), other Murids asked Nathar Vali the reason behind this and Nathar Vali explained that Baba’s spirit has left the body and is rescuing the trader in deep sea. To confirm he asked his other Murids to touch Baba sleeves. Hazrath Shams Goya and other Qalandars examined and found that Baba sleeves indeed are wet and when tasted the water it was salty seawater.

After a short while when Baba rose back from sajda, other qalandars enquired and Baba replied that he went to discharge the order given by Nathar Vali (R.A). Later all praised that only secrets of Waliallahs (Friends of Allah) are known to Waliallahs, their heart is the throne of Allah and saving the people who seek help from them is not a big task for them.

The trader who was rescued by Baba continued his trade in different places for 10 months before he met his murshid (Sufi Master) Hazrath Nathar Vali (R.A) to fulfill his promise of offering which he planned to offer on the day he was saved. Nathar Vali told the trader that it was Hazrath Baba Fakhruddin, the Khalifa (Caliph) of the trader who saved him from peril. On learning this, the trader bowed to Baba and offered the gifts to Baba. Baba questioned the trader with a smile, "wasn’t the promise of offering the half share to Murshid was made in his mind while the ship was sinking". For this the trader acknowledged in affirmation and submitted that he has brought equal half here. However, Baba enquired about the horse of Turkey breed which he purchased during his trip

Trader humbly submitted that the horse went missing on the way and he is offering other horse instead from his share. Baba said he will not accept things which don’t belong to him and said that the horse is grazing in one particular place. Knowing that the horse is traceable, immediately trader asks his companions to bring the horse, which as narrated by Baba was found in the same place. Then the trader offered the lost and found horse as well as the other valuables to Baba.

On trader offered his half of the share, Baba informed the trader that he has left kingdom and worldly possessions for the sake of Allah and asked the trader to distribute the offerings among poor.

Miracles of Miswaak Tree

Burhanul Aashiqeen Hazrat Syedna Khwaja Baba Fakhruddin (R.A) and Miswak Tree (Mustard tree) shedding Sugar


After Hazrat Nathar Vali (R.A) bestowed Khilafat to Sarkar Baba Fakhruddin (R.A),Baba was commanded to propagate Islam and was given Miswak Twig asking him to plant the twig in earth where ever he halts in night and  if the Miswak sprouts in the morning that is his destination.

As per his Murshid’s command Qalandar –e-Barhaq Sarkar Baba Fakhruddin planted the twig where ever he stationed and one evening he reached an unknown place and it was pitch-dark, Baba along with his disciples and followers decided to camp there and as commanded earlier Baba planted the twig and in the morning he noticed sprouting in the twig, the name of place is Penukonda.

Twig planted by Hazrat Baba Fakhruddin (R.A) is a big tree today and has survived around 800 years and is in dargah premises. This Pilu ka Jhaad (Mustard Tree) used to shed loads of Sugar from past 720 years, as per the legends it had miraculous healing power which could cure the rarest of the rare diseases.

Due to the reasons best known to the Saints of this Dargah in recent past the sugar shed gradually declined and now this tree has stopped shedding sugar as it used to and we can hardly find few granules.
