AN AMAZING LIFE: His fifth son, Hazrat Sheikh Jamaalullah is the splitting image of Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam . and was loved dearly by Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam RadiaAllahu anu. He is alive even till this day, and is known as “Hayaatul Meer”.
He is said to be in the area of Samarkand. Many Awliyah Allah have met him and have even taken Bai’at at his hands. Hazrat Sheikh Jamaalullah . says that Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam RadiaAllahu anu used to often say, “O Jamaalullah! You will attain a very long life. When you enter the era of Hazrat Esa . then you should pass my Salaams to him.”
Once someone asked Hazrat Jamaalullah if he knew for how long he would live, and he replied by saying that he was not aware of that, but he knew for sure that he would meet Hazrat Esa . and make his khidmat (serve him) just as his grandfather Huzoor Ghaus-e-Azam . foretold.
WISAAL : There is a difference of opinion on the date of his wisaal, but the date which is in the Shajrah-e-Aaliyah Qaaderiyah Razviyah, is the 6th of Shawwal 623 Hijri and this seems to be the proper date.
JANAZAH SALAAH : When the wisaal of Hazrat Sayyidi Abdur Raz’zaaq was announced, then the crowd of people was so vast, that there was no place in the town where the Janazah could be performed. The
Janazah was thus first performed in the Eid Gaah outside the town, then in Jaame Risaafa, the third time at Turbatul Khulafa, the fourth time, along the banks of the River Tigris, a fifth time at the Baab-e-Tahreem, the sixth time at Jabriyah and the seventh time near the Mazaar of Hazrat Ahmed bin Hambal RadiaAllahu anu, and this was on a Friday.
