History

He was the younger son of Hazrat Syed Shah Manzoor Munemi. He received his education and trainning from many scholars (Ulemas) under the supervision of his father. Then he also acquired modern school education. He was the disciple (murid) of his father and had received Ijazah and Khilafah from him.

When his father was leaving for the holy Hajj in AD 1965, he handed over all the responsibility of the Khanqah to him. Right from that time he continued the Imamat (leadership) of the Jama Masjid and service of the Khanqah till he breathed his last.

Owing to his poor health and weakness, his father appointed him, in front of all, the 11th Sajjada Nashin of Khanqah Munemia Quamaria on the 11th Rajab 1398 Hijri. All the Sufi saints and Sajjada Nashins of other Khanqahs who were present there adorned him with turban and expressed their consent.

He was born on the first night of the month (Chaand Raat). So he was called as Chaand and gradually his face seemed to be glowing like moon. So whoever saw him was greatly impressed by the glow, radiance and glory of his face. He devoted his life to the service of mankind from 1965 to his death. Hundreds of people from all the religions and faith came to him for his blessing (dua) and returned satisfied. His behaviour was very polite and pleasing. Half of the sufferings of the afflicted used to be relieved just by talking to him. He made successful attempts to get some plots of land belonging to the Khanqah extended to its west and north freed from the custody of encroachers. Some disputes were taken to the court and all the decisions were in favour of the Khanqah. It was his tenure when some plots of land were freed after over 50 years of illegal custody and kahanqah got back its embezzled property. During his tenure important construction work took place in khanqah and the Dargah Sharif was also beautified.

He led the prayers (namaz) of 5 times everyday and that of Friday (Juma) and also delivered Khutba (Sermon) on Fridays continuously for forty years. Whatever was uttered by him used to prove true in near or late future. He gave clear clues about his death but people could not understand. Finally when he passed away, the secret of his high spiritual level and his being a Sufi of high standard was revealed.

During his tenure, a monthly magazine,"Al-Mun'im" continued to be published by the Khanqah for four years.
