اِنَّ اللہَ مَعَ ا لصّٰبِرِ یۡنَ ﴿۱۵۳﴾
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Indeed Allah is with those who patiently endure. (Part 2, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 153)
Introduction to Sayyiduna Daata Ganj Bakhsh ‘Ali Hajwayri
His name is ‘Ali and his father’s name is ‘Usman. His lineage is linked to Sayyiduna Imam Hasan Mujtaba رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ through six relations. (Buzurgan-e-Lahore, pp. 222) His filial appellation (Kunyah) is ‘Abul Hasan’.
(Urdu Daaira-tul-Ma’arif, vol. 9, pp. 91)
His famous title is Ganj Bakhsh. The reason for giving this name is this that Sayyiduna Mu’eenuddin Chishti Ajmayri Sanjari رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه observed I’tikaf at his luminous shrine for some time and after receiving internal benefits from Sayyiduna Daata Ganj Bakhsh رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه when he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came for his farewell Fatihah, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه immediately recited the following couplet:
گَنج بَخشِ فَیضِ عالَم، مَظہَرِ نُورِ خُدا
ناقِصاں را پِیرِ کامِل، کامِلاں را رَہنُما
The title given by Sayyiduna Sultan-ul-Hind Khuwajah Ghareeb Nawaz رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is being echoing all over the subcontinent today. Even some people are unaware of his blessed name but only remember him by the title of ‘Daata Ganj Bakhsh’. (Mahfil-e-Awliya, pp. 388)
Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyiduna Daata Ganj Bakhsh رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was born in 400 AH in Ghazni. After some time his family shifted to Mahallah Hajwayr, due to this place he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه is called Hajwayri.
