History
Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar (R.A.) or Qutbul Madar was born in the Halab city of Shaam (now known as Syria) on In Hijri 242, according to the Islamic calendar.
It was the time when Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had reached the age of four years, four months and four days that the traditional ceremony of Bismillah was celebrated(This tradition is celebrated till date in Makanpur).After the ceremony, Hazrat Ali Halabi decided to educate Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar so he handed him to the that time great philosopher Hazrat Sadiduddin Huzaifa Shami (RA) for his studies. Hazrat Shami started teaching Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar with the word “Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim”, then he asked him to say “Aleef” (first alphabet in Arabic), and the teacher got amazed with his student started elaborating the meaning of Aleef. He continued the description of Aleef till one week (what is Aleef, where it is used, how it is used, etc.). After listening all this his teacher said that this is a Wali of almighty Allah.
Note: In the book “Gulzar-e-Madar”, the author Maulana Sayed Mehmood has written that Hazrat Huzaifa Sayed himself has stated that one day in a dream Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to him and said:” his child is a Wali of the almighty Allah and is from my origin. So please care about him and pay attention on him”
Anyway in the age of 14, Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had memorised the Quran Shareef and had read its existence values as well he got knowledge of other religious topics. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar also had the knowledge of the Rimia, Kimia, Himia and the Simia traditions. ( Himia is such a science, which is comparative to magic, Rimia is the science which ables a person to change places in no time, Simia is the science, which enables a human body to change soul, and Kimia is the study, which turns iron into gold. Many disciples of the madariya chain knew this science. One of those is Hazrat Baba Dariya Maan whose tomb is in Baroda Gujarat. It is said that his soul used to leave his body and whenever he wished it came back in it.
In the book “Taskiratulkram fi Ahwale Khulafa-e-Arbo Islam, it is written that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar had the knowledge of all the four books which came from the Paradise.
First hajj
When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was 14 years of age, he had completed the education and he asked his father Sayed Qazi Kidwattuddin ali halabi that he wishes to merge in the Jafferiya chain. That he would make people to be related to that chain. The thought of hajj arrived in his mind and he took permission from his parents to go to Makkah and Madina.That thought also encouraged him to say before his parents that there are two main tasks to be done in his life ; one is towards the almighty Allah and other is towards the parents. Hence he requested them to let him go into the way of Islam and spread the teachings of Islam amongst others. He was permitted by his parents for the task with the answer that we free you from our rights and let you in the hands of the almighty Allah.Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar with the permission of his parents started his journey towards Makkah for the hajj pilgrimage with no luggage in his hands. On the way he got through a cave where he spent some days of his life praying and devoting his life towards others and then he left from there. The way to Makkah covered the path through Israel, Philippines, and Jordan ; so when Hazrat Sayed Madar reached Baitul Muqaddas, he met Sultanul Arifeen Hazrat Bayjid Bustami alias Tayfoor Shami. At that time Shami said that Badiuddin, I was waiting for you. I used to see a miraculous light here, but now that I had seen you I believe that the light I had seen is you.On the 25th page of the book Zulfikar-e-badi, Hazrat khwaja Naseruddin (R.A) had written that when Sayed Badiuddin reached the Baitul Mukaddas that time he met Hazrat Bayjid Bustami, who was master in his miracles. At that time there were some 300 khalifas of Hazrat, and were in deep meditation.
Mureed (Disciple) of Hazrat Sayed Bayjid Bustami Sahib
Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar got fame in the region that there is a true follower of Islam here in the people, and that he is sure a wali of Allah, who is an example into himself. When this news reached Hazrat Sayed Bayjid Bustami, he invited Hazrat Shah Madar Sahib to his place.In the first meeting he kissed the forehead and eyes of Madar Sahib and said that in a dream he saw that The Prophet (may peace be upon him) in one gathering has ordered Bustami that very soon you will meet a man whose name will be Ahmad Badiuddin. So when you meet him you should offer him all the teachings that you have earned, as it is his authority. So I am ready to do so.After that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar was pledged with the Tayfooriya chain and was being said as Silsila-e-Tayfooriya. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar accepted the fellowship of the Bayjid, and he continued the journey towards Makkah and performed the Hajj. After that he stayed there for some days. One day when he was doing the Tawa’af of the Kaba shareef when he heard a voice saying that: “Badiuddin, you should leave for Madina. Hearing this it was the extent of his curiosity and he left immediately towards Madina.
Note: Junaid Baghdadi has said in his sayings about Hazrat Afreen Bayjid Bustami(R A) that his status in the walies is the most prominent one. Where all the ways towards the followers of the almighty ends, there starts the beginning of the Bayjid chain. Hazrat Abu Sayed Al Khair has said that he has seen that the Bayjid is the follower of truth.
His first visit to Madina
The curious times were over and He reached Madina. On reaching the Masjid-e-Nabvi he offered Salaam to The Prophet. On this he got the answer to his salaam from the divine shrine. Madar Sahib spent some days there and then he was handed over to Hazrat Ali Halabi for all the teachings he had to be given to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar.After he has accomplished the fellowship here, he was handed over in the guidance of Imam Akhiruz-zama. It is said in the book Sairul Madar” that Madar Sahib got the teachings from all the four holy books that has evolved in this earth. In that included those books that were sent for the angels and to the souls too. The book for the angels were as : Mirrat, Ainur-rab, Harmajan and Mazhar-e-alf. The books that were showered for the souls were : Rokori, Jahri, Sanari and wolyaan. This way Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madarhad the knowledge of all the books now and with the permission of the Prophet he left for India where he was needed the most.During this journey Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar used to be in Roza (fasting).

Journey towards India
Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar left for India through the ocean of the Gulf via the port of Yemen. He boarded a ship that carried many people. The people onboard were all very loving and honest. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar started his preaching towards them in the name of Allah the almighty. He let them know about Islam and Allah. Instead the people onboard were annoyed by his sayings and hatred showed on their faces.Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar tolerated them with ease and carried out his mission with all faith. But it was something else that was to happen. The ship got caught in a heavy storm and many of the board were drowned as the cyclone was unbearable. Amongst the left ones however when the weather was calm again, Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar continued with his preaching. Still he was not able to convince the left people as all were worried about their lives and were least bothered to listen to his voice as the cyclone had damaged the ship and it was a hard situation for life.It was a long journey and the foodstuff was all scattered due to the cyclone. The members onboard were killed due to starvation. Madar prayed to the almighty Allah to look after him that he need not feel hungry or thirsty as he has to survive without any foodstuff. His prayers asked Allah to reach him to the shore as he had to fulfill the words of the Prophet.When he looked at the skies after the prayers he saw some birds flying, which indicated that he was near to the shore. Alas the shore was visible to him and he reached there safely and the Indian soil was enlightened with his arrival.

The people brought the dead body to Sultan Ibrahim Sharki for decision. When asked the mureed said that this was a mad dog whom he killed. When the covered body was revealed there was really a dead dog instead of a man. To this Sultan asked him, “Who are you?”. And the mureed said that his masters name is Hazrat Zinda Shah Madar. The Sultan immediately went to meet Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar as he could not resist himself.In the book ‘Malfuzaat Shah Mina’, page no 213, it is written that when Hazrat Badi’uddin Zinda Shah Madar stayed in Jaunpur and one Friday when he did not attend the masjid for prayers, Sultan Ibrahim Sharki sent some men to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to call him for the Friday prayers and shower blessings to the ones present in the mosque. When these people came to him and asked the reason for not attending the Friday prayers, Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar told them to convey the message to the Sultan that the Friday prayers were not meant for women, slaves and travelers. When the Sultan tried to ask: “Who are you?”. The answer was: “Musafir” (a traveller). When he was asked: “who is called a traveler ?”. Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar took his belongings hjs Jaanamaz and said a traveler is this and left for Lucknow.The Sultan pleaded to forgive his deed and called Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar back to Jaunpur. With this thousands of the residents became the mureed of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar and followed the Madariya chain then onwards. Many of them were posted as representatives amongst these were Hazrat Sayedena Maulana Shaikh Faulad Rehmatullah Allayhe, whose tomb is now in Makanpur itself. In this same time Shaikh Bhikari Majjub Rehmatullah alayhe was also accepted by Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar and his tomb is now in Kannauj. Hazrat Muhammad Ilyas rehmatullah Alayhe was also chosen as the representative.In the editorial of ‘Mirrat-ul-Asrar’ it is stated that whenever and wherever Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar went he had 1442 representatives and mureeds with him, their work was to built a house for Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar wherever he wished to reside. The security was been headed by the King of Jinnat Imadul Mulk.It is stated in the book ‘Mirrat-ul-Asrar’ by Shaikh UbdurRehman Chisti Kudassirhu, page 1096, that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar resided in the region of Kalpi after a journey from Hur Muj. When the king of Kalpi, Kadir Shah came to know of him he tried to visit Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar but was not allowed to go in the house by Ibadul Mulk. On this the king tried to lean inside the house and the wall raised up. He then tried to mount a horse and see inside and the wall rose again, with this event he tried to lean inside by mounting on an elephant but the same act took place again and the wall raised itself high. The king was so angry for this that he went away and ordered that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar should immediately leave his province. When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar knew about this orders he crossed the Jamuna river and camped there. He told his fellows to wait for three days and then go and see what happened. King Kadir Shah got burn marks on his entire body when he left the house of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar in anger. It looked as if he was burnt badly. His master Sirajuddin gave him his own gown through which Kadir Shah felt healthy and was happy for it. When Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar knew about this he uttered,” why did Sirajuddin not get burnt”, and what was observed that Sirajuddin got burnt badly. It is from this day that he was being called as Sirajuddin Sokhta (means burnt Sirajuddin). He died with this and his will to his disciples was that he should not be given the holy bath as every dead body gets. So it was decided that only a finger should be washed first.It is stated in books that when King Kadir Shah wished to meet Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar, he asked his master that he needs to meet Zinda Shah Madar. On this Sirajuddin ordered him not to do so and the king had gone to Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar without letting Sirajuddin know of his meet. And when he was not able to meet Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar and ordered him to go away, it was the punishment of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar to Kadir that he had burn marks on his body and Sirajuddin tried to heal it without permission of Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar, and so he got a punishment that he was buried without the gusl (holy bath).

Immediately Shaikh Shah Mina stood on the Jaanamaz after performing the wazu. He felt the shivering in his feet and asked Shahabuddin to do the prayers for the lady. But Shahabuddin insisted that he pray and with the prayers Shahabuddin would say Ameen(I agree). So Shaikh Shah Mina prayed for the lady and Shaikh Shahabuddin said Ameen.

On this Shaikh Abul Fateh took his cap (topi) off and placed it on Mahmood’s head, but the kid took it off and the same process was repeated three times. With this Shaikh Abul Fateh got very much angry and tried to kill the child. As he was about to do so he got a thought that Hazrat Sayed Badiuddin Zinda Shah Madar is saying to him: “this boy belongs to my chain”, hence Shaikh Abul said: “ Shaikh Mahmood, your son go in such a hand that will be the Qutubul Madar and his name will be Badiuddin Ahmad.When Kazi Mahmood remembered this, he understood that this saint is the same Badiuddin Ahmad for whom Shaikh Abul Fateh had foretold.
