The Origin of Islam in Sub-Continent (Indo-Pak) and the role of Shia Scholars (Part1) Compiled by

Khateebe-Ahlebait Syed Nasir Mehdi Rizvi(Research Scholar)

After Iraq and Iran sub-Continent,Indo-Pak has its great importance as academic center of Shia Scholars specially the city of “ Lucknow” The Shia Scholars were mostly men of the day and Mujtahid, their academic qualities, mysticism, God-fearing behavior and pure religious passions are now incredible tales. They were not hypocrite, not having the desire of fame, and not greedy for the lust of power, only to please the God and sincerity towards the service of the Deen was the aim of their life. They have confirmed the saying of Imam Hasan Askari (AS), " فأما من كان من الفقهاء صائنا لنفسه ، حافظا لدينه ، مخالفا على هواه ، مطيعا لأمر مولاه ، فللعوام أن يقلدوه. الوسائل : 18 / 95 “As for among the Scholar one who was having (these qualities), like, preserver for himself (keeping away himself from the ill will), protector of his religion, contrary to the desire, obedient to the command of his Master,people should to entrust with him as the authority of religion”. This detail article intends to give some of the historical facts of our ancestral Scholars, including when the Islam became in the existence in Sub-continent and who was the stimulant of the Shiaism in Sub-Continent and what were their memorable and remarkable acts and what were the hardships they faced in the propagation the true Islam. First of all I want to present the English translation of the research article of Allama Sibtul Hasan Hansvi (RA), which has been published in Nov1960 in Urdu in the Monthly Magazine “Al-ilm” published from Lucknow under the patronage of My late father Ayatullah Syed Mohsin Nawab Rizvi Mujtahid (RA)(expired 1969), on the occasion of annual celebration of Mjalis in the memory of Qazi Noorullah Shoostari at his mausoleum at Agra. This is a very informative article but it is not a detail study of propagation of Islam in India. The detail study will be attempted later on by installments in the next forthcoming coming issue of this journal. The title of article is, “The Origin of Shiet in Sub-Continent Indo-Pak and the brief sketch of the services of Shaheed Salis(AR)” “There is a long story of propagation of Islam (Shiaism) in Sub-Continent India. In brief the Islam had been introduced in India in the period of caliphate of Ameerulmomineen Ali ibne-Abi Talib(AS).The very first conqueror of Sindh was a Shia religious warrior Haris bin Marral Abdi, who according to historian Bilazari, included the Sindh in the beginning of 39 Hijri into Islamic victories by the order of Ameerulmomineen (AS). ( Futoohul baladan ,Page438 printed ,Egypt).At the same time the outposts and frontiers of India were being influenced by Shia customs .The races of “ Shanshab” those were the friends and defenders of Ahlebait(AS) were the possessors of the frontiers and nearby areas of India. The first man of this clan was “Shanshab” who had abandoned his old religion “Buddhism” and accepted Islam conducted by Ameerulmomineen Ali (AS), and Hazrat (AS) made him the ruler of those suburb areas. While in the Muslim world, almost all mosques and pulpits were used by people, remembering Hazrat Ali (AS) with hatred feelings only this Shia regime was not acting like heresiarch of Umayyad. (Tabaqate-Nasiri abu Umer Minhaj Jurjani Tabaqah sbeaasher ,page39,printed Bengal & Tareekhe Farishtah,vol 1,chapter 1 page 21printed Naval Kishore,Lucknow) In the period of Caliphate of Ameerul momeneen (AS) the Indian Jaat’s colonization (Whom Arab Historian remember by Zet) had been found in Iraq.When Ameerul momineen conquered Basrah, he appointed them the guards of the treasury of Basrah, those were the defenders of Hazrat Ali (AS). (Muqaddamae-Ainae-Hqeeqat numa,Akber Shah Khan vol 1 page 55) Among them seventy Jaats were in passion with love to Hazrat Ali(AS) and they reached up to the exaggeration for him ,and Hazrat Ali(AS) expressed his curse on them.(Rijal-Kashshi,page 73 printed Bombay) Except these relations the family of Rasool (S.A.W.A.W)has an account of relations with Sindh, among the wives of Imam Zainul Abedeen (AS)one of them was a Sindhi lady by whom Hazrat Zaid Shaheed was born(Kitabul Maarif, Ibne Qutaibah,page73,printed Egypt,Zaidul shaheed ,Abdul Razzaq Najafi,page 5printed Najaf),along with Zaid Shaheed one Indian warrior Ziad Hindi was also massacred and hanged. (Maqatiluttalibeen, Abulfaraj Ispahani page 105). In the same time Hazrat Abdullah Ashtar(Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Whose mausoleum is at Clifton ,Karachi,Pakistan) bin Mohammad bin Abdullah bin al Hasanal Musanna bin Imam Hasan (AS) came to Sindh along with Abdullah bin Saadah Shabi after martyrdom of his father Mohammad al Nafsal Zakiyah in 145 Hijri. On the ground of Sindh the first blood was shed of Abdullah al Ashatar, and his dead body was set afloat in the River of Sindh. One Hindu raja saved his younger son Mohammad and afterward in reprisal of his acts Mansoor Abbasi appointed Hisham bin Umer Taghlab killed the Hindu Raja and to include his state into Islamic state.(Treekh Tabari vol 6page 288,Cairo,Tareekh Ibne Aseer vol 5 page220,Egypt). In the period of Mansoor Dawaniqi when the Sadaat were being massacred ,Janab Qasim bin Ismayel al Debaj bin Ibrahim al Umer bin al Hasan al Musanna bin Imam Hasan (AS) came to protecting himself to Multan.(Al Niza wal Takhasim, Allama Muqraezi,page 74,Egypt). In the same period Jafer bin Mohammad bin Abdullah bin Umarul atraf bin Ameerul Momineen Ali (AS) also arrived to Mulatan protecting himself by the route Najoof jan Hijaz along with his 13 children.Syed being profligate and helpless reached to Mulatan but fortunately he embraced with kingship. This Jafarul-mulk and his progeny made many people Shia,Sadat accepted the local language and included in their daily colloquial language. Their interaction and linguistic relations laid the foundation of Reekhtah and Urdu language. (Umdatul-Talib,,Jamaluddin-Mahinna-Daoodi,page333,printedBombay) India was not only shelter for Islam, but Indian origin people were also accepting the true religion, mingled with educational institutions of Aimma Masoomeen (AS), whereas in the institution of Imam Jafer Sadiq (AS) there were thirsty of knowledge from different countries and nations,among them some Indians were also presented,Fraj Sndhi,Khallad Sindhi Bazzaz ,Aban Sindhi and others ,are those people who were considered as the narrators and companions of Imam Jafer Sasdiq(AS). By increasing of the Shia gathering and influence day by day, historian Muqaddasi called on the fact, that in India Shiaism was a widespread institution in the end of 3rd century and at the beginning of the 4th century. (Ahsanul-Taqaseem fi Marifatul Aqaleemal Muqaddisi,page 481printed Europe). At last to overcome the influence of Shia preaching Sultan Mahmood Gaznavi (expired 423Hijri) invaded in Mulatan and massacred the friends of Ahlebait (AS), and gave them the names of Qaramitah and infidels. In 6th century Mulla Mohammad Ali whose mausoleum is in Khambat and famous with the name Parwaz, preached the Shiaism among the Gujarat’s Hindu businessmen, this group called Bohras,Mulla Ali had preached the Ithna Ashari religion, in Miraate Ahmadi, Gujrati history book, it is declared: “ While Maulana Mohammad Ali was Shia, all those believed in his religion and mostly virtues and piety people were believe to be Shia Ithna Ashari faith’’.(Mirate Ahmadi ,page 130,printed Calcutta).In the beginning Bohras had Ithna Ashari and Ismayelis faith no one was against them ,but from the period of Muzaffar Shah Gujrat the people began to become Sunni also. Not only Hindu businessmen adopted Shiaism,but the Rajpoot Raja Siddha Rao Jai Singh ,who was the Raja of Gujrat also accepted Shiaism.The opponents states attempted many times to finish the influence of Shias ,after Sulatn Mahmood Gaznavi ,Sultan Feeroze Shah Tughlaq(expired 490 Hijri),used to set execution of Shias and burned Shia book also, and he indicated that it was his important task.(Futoohate Feroze Shah). After these oppressions the Shia movement began to exhausted and Shia community adapted hiding and concealment. This situation prolonged up to the period of Akber the great. In the early age of Akber’s period Shaikh Abdul Bani Sadrul Sudoor and Makhdoomul Mulk Mulla Abdullah had subsided Shias as innovator and hypocrites and many of them were assassinated. In spite of this, Shias were not allowed to bury in the Muslim graveyard. The very great Shia Scholar of that time Meer Murtaza Sharifi Shirazi was buried in the graveyard of Meer Khusrao, then a verdict of Shaikhul Islam was passed by the order of Sultan, ’’Dig out the grave and bring out the dead body of foreigner Syed”. (MuntakhabulTreekh Mulla Abdul Qadir Badayuni vol 2 page 99). Same was happened when Mulla Ahmad Shiei was killed by Faulad Baig Berlas for the crime of being a Shia, after his burial Abul Fdhal and Faizi(Courtiers of Akber) appointed guards to look after his grave, in spite of this his grave was dug out and dead body was burnt on fire. (Muntakhabul Tareekh vol 2 page 364). Being the situation changed and the period became favorable for Shias from 903 Hijri to 931 Meer Shadad accustomed and initiated the Shia religion in Multan.(Miraatul Alam,part 4,page 82,manuscript)There Syed Rju Bin Syed Hamid Bukhari began to preach Shia religion openly. In Kashmir Shamsuddin Iraqi propagated the Shia religion and in Bejapur Daccan Yousuf Adil Shah propagated the Shiaism.In the history of India ,in the month of Jamadil Awwal 908 Hijri First Shia Juma prayer was executed openly,the sacred names of Imams(AS)used to praise and in Azaan Aliun Waliullah was uttered. (Basteenul Salateen, Ibrahim Zubairi,Bustane-Awwal page 19). Yusuf Adil Shah the king of Daccan adopted the Shia Ithna Ashari faith by the teaching and persuasion of Inayatullah Shirazi and Mullah Fathullah Shirazi, this Mullah Fathullh Shirazi joined the Akber’s court, and he had relation with our Shaheed Salis also. Now the Akber was mentally freed on the ground of his expedience from his prejudice and intensity of the religious believes. It was the influence of the training of his preceptor Bairam Khan Turkman Shiei. In his court the Shia element became dominated, among them were Hakeem Abul Fateh Gilani,Mulla Fathullah Shirazi ,Hakeem Humam ,Abul Fadhal Ulami,Abul Faiz Faizi,Qazi,Meerza Abdul Rahim Khankhana, every one had the Shia inclination, by their efforts Akber announced freedom for all religions .Now it was opportunity to rise the Shia ism. Historian Abdul Qadir Badayuni who was in the court of Akber has drawn the picture of that period,saying that “Shiaane Maghloob”.Now it was such a favorable occasion that one a Shia Scholar who would be a determined and innovative person ,do propagate the religion of Ahlebait (AS).In that time Shaheed Salis (AR) was in Mashad Muqaddas .May it was the invitation of Hakeem Abul Fathe Gilani (expired 997Hijri) or him self the spiritual personality of Sheed Salis (AR),that he according the narration of Firdaus Mahal in 992, on his arrival to Indian land ,in Agrah he credited the honor of host ship to Hakeem Abul Fteh Gilani. Akber the great, who had become tired of the nonsense activities of scholars of the majority, entrusted the responsibility of the Chief Justice of Lahore to Shaheed Salis (AR). He accepted this noble responsibility, proving the comprehensive and all embarrassing nature of jurisprudence of Ahlebait (AS) with such a condition, that he will not be bound with any school of thought of four, Hanfi ,Shafei, Maliki, or Hanbali, but from these four school of thoughts which one will stand it’s conformity with Shia jurisprudence, being the demand of my interpretation of law point, I will give the verdict accordingly. Therefore in the period of his Justice-ship he acted like this. With the verdict of religion of Ahlebait (AS) he used to give judgments, and with any of the four schools of thought he used to compare it’s validity. According to his act he did the eradication of the objection raised by the opponents of Shia religion, that, Shia religion does not have the comprehensiveness, and all embarrassing laws of dogmatic. But according to his acts, taken acknowledge by scholars of four schools of thoughts. Although these schools of thought due to difference of opinion are justified though the Fiqhe Jafari is more deserving to have it’s right, and accordingly existing differences in the Muslim nation could be overcome. Though in that way Shaheed Salis (A.R) only not expressed the superiority of Fiqhe Ahlebait(A.S), but on contrary he invited for all Muslim Jurisprudence to unite them due to Fiqhe Ahlebait (A.S). This is such a remarkable work of Shaheed Salis (A.R), no example can be find in the history in such a manner the Fiqh Ahlebait (A.S) has been introduced to Muslim world. There was none of the Sunni scholar of Akber’s period who was unaware with the personality of Shaheed Salis (A.R). His Shiet was well introduced by all King, courtiers and scholars etc. The famous historian and Scholar of the Akber’s court Mulla Abdul Qadir Badayuni, who had influence in Akber’s court said, “Shiat of Qazi Noorullah Shoostari was not hidden”.In this way the opportunity of Shia Mujtahid on such a condition ,that he will give his verdict according to any one of four schools of thought, was a great and dangerous step whose responsibility was taken by Shaheed on his own shoulders .The eyes of Sunni scholars might be watching the verdict of Shaheed ,that any chance could be available to say that,his verdict is not according to any of four schools of thought. If there was any of his verdicts could be against that condition, then the scholar of the Royal court could be disposed from the post. But this objection could not raised against the Shaheed (RA),and neither on any ground he was dismissed in the period of Akber or Jehangir. After Akber the Scholar deceived Jehangir, that Qazi Noorullah Shoostari is Shia and he gives verdict according to his religion, Jehangir replied,on this ground he could not accused Qazi, because from the beginning , Qazi made this condition with the ruler of the time Akber,that he would give the verdict according to his interpretation,and its conformity according to any one of the four schools of thought ,therefore this objection was not liable to raised on him ,that his verdict had any opposition with Sunni religion. In short the introduction of Fiqh Jafari is such a heroic deed of Qazi Sahab, which has elevated his position among all the Shia Scholars.

Actually in the preaching of Shia religion Shaheed has such a status, which only obtained to those who are the bestowed of renaissance. If Shaheed Salis (R.A) did not worked for the true religion with his determination, the religion could be terminated from India. In this ability Shaheed Salis is the stabilizer of the foundation of Shiaism in India. It was he, who preached the Shiaism in such a manner nobody could finish this religion. Of course in India for the propagation of Shiaism in different languages the patronage of Fatimiyah state, Adil Shahiyah,Nizamshahiyah and Qutub Shahiyah have been obtained. But for the patronage of Shaheed (A.R) there was no state or power, but in this regard his firm determination and spiritual power became the promoter.

In that period scholars used to write books and published against Shia ism, and ancient books which were against Shiaism were had been brought to India from Mawara un Naher,Hijaz as gift ,and then article used to published and propagated, letters and Journals used to write. Hitherto that time Sufis were deviated from the Conqueror of the door of Wilayat Hazrat Ali (A.S). At this critical juncture Shaheed (A.R) thought that it is necessary to make condemnation of these books of the opponents and he compiled the illustrious books in the support of the true religion--- like;Ahqaqul-Haq,Swarim-Muhriqa,Masaybul-Nawasib,Majalisul Momineen, in which he gave the crushing replies of the objections and blames of the opponents, in which he proved the righteousness, antiquity and proprietary of the Shiaism.Shaheed(A.R)never thought for reservation necessary for himself,but he revealed his faith and religion openly. As I described before, the famous historian and Sunni Scholar of Akber’s period Mulla Abdul-Qadir bin Mulook Shah-Badayuni has written in his book Muntakahabul Twareekh clearly“ Though Qazi-Noorullah Shoostri is Shia but he is described with Justice, Virtues, bashfulness ,God fearing, chastity and Gentle qualities. On his non-reserving behavior Meer Yusuf Ali Akhbari Shiei Allahbadi raised objection, Shaheed gave the determined and logical reply in his letter and he described: According to my faith in the State of India during the King of Justice there is no reason for reservation ( تقيه) and it is not obligatory for a man like me, while martyrdom for me in the name of victory of faith is in accordance with dignity of Islam, and the master of the divine laws has given the permission, for no reservation, but others those who are not known or their acts are not known and their replies are not justified for the support of religion, are obligatory to perform the reservation. (Makateeb Yousuf Ali Akhbari wa Shaheed Salis.(compiled by Abdul Rahim Baghdadi, ,Manuscript,Asifiah Library1164,funne- kalam). In short the personality of Shaheed Salis (A.R) as a Shia scholar was not mutually acquainted with the eyes of people. He recognized his martyrdom in the service of the Islam as the dignity of Islam.This is the bold fact that he never cared about the troubles,distress,misfortune,but he provided all the necessities for the eternity of true Islam. His great books Ahqaqulhaq, Swarim Muhriqa,Masayebul Nawasib and Mjalisulmomineen were those necessities which caused the martyrdom of Shaheed Salis (AR) (Awael Majlis panjum). Now the time came when the period of tolerance and justice of Akbar was finished and Jehangir sat on the throne, then before coronation Jehangir promise with Sheikh Bukhari Nakshbandi, who was the pillar of his state that he will support the majority religion against the policy of Akbar. After the coronation of Jehangir, Ahmed Sirhindi who was the Murshad(guide) of Sheikh wrote a letter to Sheikh Freed Bukhari in which he pointed out the said matter: “Today the good news of falling, of the anti Islamic state and accession of Islam has been reached to the every noble and plebeian. The Muslim considered necessary for themselves that they should be the protector and supporter of the King and for propagation of divine laws, strength of nation will provide the proofs”. Therefore the crowed of the people of the circle of“Islamic helpers” were commonality in the court of Jehangir and they used to plot for the Shias.Jehangir himself was fanatic in his religious believes, he obtained the fanatic believes from his teacher Meer Kalan Muhaddis Akberabadi compiler of the books Sammul Rawafiz fi Zammul Rawafiz and Risalae-der ahkame sabbil Shaikhain. Accordingly Qazi Mohammad Aslam Hiravi and Sheikh Ahmad Farooqi Sirhindi Naqshabandi compiler of the book “Radde-Rwafiz”,who consider Shias are worst than Infidels (!).His teaching made the Jehangir more fanatic towards the Shias, he in his first attempt called on the Shaheed Salis (A.R) and appointed him Meere Adl of his royal army. So accordingly Jehangir seized his freedom and handover him in the custody of army. At last in 1610A.D/1019Hijri while Shaheed Salis was 63 years old, massacred by the order of Jehangir and he acquired the dignity of the Martyrdom. Professor Sri Ram Sharma writes in his English book “The religious Policy Of Mughal Monarch ”: Qazi Noorullah Shoostari has been killed for being a influential Shia writer, by the order of Jehangir by hitting with a thorny whip. Now the splendor of Shiaism which possesses through the length and breadth of Pak-India,is the result of his courageous Martyrdom. Moreover his martyrdom created enthusiast writings for the propagation of religion and the other Shia Scholar became devoted and courageous. In the mean time in the period of Mughal regime of Aurangzeb, Nawab Ibrahim Ali Khan Governor of Kashmir made a propaganda missionary for Shia religion from where a well managed composition in the name of “Byaze Ibrahimi” was published in different volumes, thus Shia preaching used to be circulated, and in the capital Delhi there was no house, which was not influenced with Shiaism, even the family of Shah Waliullah Muhaddis Dehlavi was also influenced, and his closed relative Molvi Qamruddin Minnat adopted Shia religion. A famous Delhi family Sharifi was so influenced that they helped to write the reply of the theft book “Tuhfa”, the situation was so interesting that Shah Abdul Aziz Dhelvi was forced to write in his book Tuhfa: “In the city where I live the period in which I am presented, the customs of Shia Ithna Ashari Religion are running in such a manner that there is no house in Delhi in which one or two members of the family are not having the Shia faith or inclined towards Shiaism”.

At last entangled with distress the Shaheed (A.R) acquired the place of martyrdom in 26thRbiulawwal 1019Hijri,his sanctified dead body was thrown in the jungle far from the city. His death with humility and helplessness is sorrowful. Moreover it is more than oppression to kill with cruelty and brutally and after that to threw the dead body with out ablution and shroud, in the jungle far from the city. On the same land the loving people of Shaheed buried him, his son and rightful heir Shareeful Hasani Shah (May Allah provide him the nobility) Mujtahidula Asr,was the religious director of the time and was the compiler of many books, was the constant attendant of the grave of Shaheed(A.R) also passed away after some time on 5th Rbiulawwal 1020 Hijri and buried beside his father. Due to unfavorable condition the grave was depopulated, after passing 189 years when in north India Shiet was at its exaltation in the time of Prim Minister ship of Zulfiqaruddaulah Nawab Najaf Khan in1188Hijri/1788 Hijri, Mohammad Mansoor Moosavi Neshapuri Subedar of Agra renovated the grave and build the tomb and fixed a stone and mentioned the date of martyrdom and the renovation of the grave.In surrounding of the building planted a garden also, which after some time experienced to autumn, and the room of the grave was destructed, the greenery converted into savage herbs, at last due to prolongation of time and carelessness the place converted into ruins. The grave of Shaheed was hidden, and there was no one to indicate the grave, did this proof of shiet was abolished forever? How it was possible? So this symbol attained its position again as such now every common and proper knows the sacred mausoleum. 

It was 109 years ago in 1271Hijri Ayatullah fil Alameen Syed Hamid Husain Neshapuri and his younger brother Allama Syed Aijaz Husain came to Agra from Lucknow to illuminate the indelible symbol of Shias, and on this unpopulated place where the people used to become frightened, traced out the grave and drawn the attention of the believers towards this monument. Resultantly in 1290 Hijri Deputy Syed Ali Naqi Sahab Jafery Marhoom Phersari build the present mausoleum with the help of momineens. After Firdaus Maab ,Sarkare Nasirul Millat(R.A)was remained active for the safety and existence of the mausoleum whose witness is still exist. Which results namely the present remains are still presented in front of our eyes.Janab Nasirul Millat(R.A) established a society named “ Anjumane-Moeenul-Zaereen” to facilitate the pilgrims with their accommodation, and to celebrate annual Majalis program in memory of Shaheed Salis. In 1333 Hijri first Mjalis program was celebrated in memory of Shaheed Salis. What spiritual relation Sarkar Nasirul Millat had with Shaheed,is clear from his will ,that after the sanctity of Mausoleums of Masoomeen (A.S), the place he selected for his “grave” was the vicinity of Shaheed Salis (A.R),which is great auspicious and illuminating place.” (End of the article of Allama Sibtul Hasan Hansvi) Footnotes:

Qazi Mohammad Aslam Hiravi-- He is the old man who burned the Shia books and he believed his act, like the divine faith,he burned the great Shia book Kafi Kulaini.—(Maasirul umara).

Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi Naqshbandi—who is famous with the name Mujaddid Alif Sani, recognized Shias as infidels and deserving to be beheaded. In the beginning Jehangir felt offended with Mujaddid Alif Sani due to his 11th writing in which he described his ascension of soul and in which he put himself at higher position than the position of first Caliph, because it was insulting for caliphs. But later Jehangir was having faith in him. In that period Sheikh Mujaddid was living with army, Jehangir used to pay attention in his advices and behest attentively and he was very much influenced with him, and he used to give him gifts and oblations and showed his devotions towards him,For this Sheikh Mujaddid Sirhindi,Shaikh Mohammad Ikram Hanafi writes----Except the explanation of divine laws, his (Mujaddid Sani) great work was refutations of the innovations, in that time Shia religion was very common in Iran and eastern countries ,In India the beloved Queen of Shah was Shia,King’s Prime Minister was Shia,and the Shia faith started in the State also.Shaikh Mujaddid felt this danger and tried to defend. He wrote a book named Radde-Rawafiz (Refute to Heretic). In his book he opposed the Shiaism and wherever he goes, and his successor and disciples go, they opposed this religion. This is the reason, though the occupancy of Noor-Jehan and Asif-khan was in the temperament of Jehangir,but the Shia faith could not take a widespread place in India. Except the propagation of divine laws, circulation of Naqshbandiyah faith coincidences of divine laws, mysticism, and opposition of Shiaism,his prime work is reviving of Islam (Roude Kauser.page 180,Sheikh Ikram) We have discussed about the writings of Hazrat Mujaddid Alif Sani ,about his book Radde-Rawafiz. The important part of his teaching was the opposition of Shias,and he never used to tolerate the reduction in the respect of four caliphs(Raude Kauser,page 221).For Shias the opinion of Alif Sani was same aggressive(as for non Muslims and Infidels)as for Shias ,and he considered them Infidels.And his son Khawaja Mohammad Masoom in his letter to Aurangzeb considered Shias are deserving to death(Roude Kauser p 375).The other Nqshbandi people are also having aggressive thoughts about Shias.Mujaddid in a letter writes to Shiekh Fareed (who was very closed to Jehangir and except him there was no any close chief of the nobles, close to Jehangir,and because of his remunerations of this chief of the noble Jehangir sat on the throne he was he, defeated opponents of the state Khusrao,this was the reason Jehangir believed on him, he was also Naqshabandi and was the loyal to Khwaja Baqi billah ,and was among the believers of Sheikh Mujaddid Alif Sani, he believed and imagine the mischief of the company of a innovator is most worst than the company of a infidel. Among all the groups of innovator, people of this group of Shias are those, who have hatred feelings against the companions of the Prophet (S.A.WAW)Almighty Allah has put their name infidel(Raude Kauser footnote page 378). [Now I say that those were the people who had influence on the Jehangir and his religious policy he was approaching, was made by those fanatic people. Actually Jehangir was in the grips of Naqshabandis]
