India. The year of birth of Hazrat Rh was 1060 Hijri i.e. 1650 AD. He belongs to
village near Lucknow named as Kakor.

shah Jahanabadi Rh. The peer-o- Murshad (Spiritual Preceptor) of Hazrat Sheikh Kalimullaha
shah Jahanabadi Rh was Qutube Madina Shaikh Yahiya Madani Rh.
According to the advice of Sheikh Yahiya Madani Rh Shaikh Kalimullaha Rh has bestowed
upon Shah Nizamuddin Auliya Rh the title of Khalifa-e-Azam and instructed him to
settle in Deccan an showered upon him the vilayat and responsibility of deccan
When Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Rh was learning the basic in his village Kakor at
the same time in Madina Munnawara preparation for his spiritual teaching were going
on, which means that in Madinatul Munnwara at the Rauza of Rasulallah Sallalallaho
allahi wasallam the Qutubul Madina Hazrat Sheikh Yahiya Madani Rh showered spiritual
teaching and learning to Hazrat Sheikh Kalimullaha Shah Jahanabadi Rh. After giving
khilafat to sheikh Kalimullah Rh Sheikh Yahiya Madani Rh gave farewell and advised
him the name of his spiritual successor will be "NIZAMUDDIN" who will come to you
to seek the knowledge and will recite the following couplet.
"Supurdum bato maaye kheshra tu daani hisaabe kamo beshra"
(I have surrendered myself to you; you know the best for me.)
After hearing this Sheikh Kalimullaha Rh become emotional for some time and he recalled
the prophesy of Sheikh Yahiya Madni Rh then he narrated that event of Madina Munnwara
to Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Rh that my Peer-o-Murshid Sheikh Yahiya Madni Rh has
said that a man named "NIZAMUDDIN" will come to your khanqah (sufi monastery) to
get higher islamic education but later his heart will drew him towards the path
of spiritual teaching (Sufism) he will express his desire and will recite this couplet
(sher) and you should provide him with all spiritual teaching knowledge as he will
be your "Khalifa-e-azam" who will spread and propogate Islam and chistiya silsila.

Auliya Rh. Through these letters, these letters were collected and rewritten in
persion language by Hazrat Kasim Ali Rh. The collection of these letters are called
