Life of a Saint

Published : Friday, 30 January, 2026 at 8:35 PM  Count : 328
The Saints of the Quaderia Order have had a major impact on Bengali Sufism's history. The most remarkable saint in Islam and the founder of the Quaderia Order of Sufism, Syedona Huzur Gausul Azam Sheikh Abdul Quader Jilani Al-Haeani Wal-Hussaini, was the direct spiritual ancestor of the majority of these saints.

These Saints, who were inspired by the teachings and customs of their large household, dedicated their lives to the spiritual advancement of people of different faiths, religions, and sects. They also helped to ease the suffering of suffering humanity by offering material aid, wise counsel, and guidance. As the defining characteristics of the holy life of our Prophet, SAS, and his exalted successors, they provided such models of saintly living that people found in their conduct, character, and day-to-day activities. They were therefore able to have an impact on the lives and personalities of innumerable millions of Murids (disciples) and followers.

This great household's descendants have worked as missionaries in West Bengal and Bangladesh. A brief description of a notable descendant of this illustrious household who achieved eternal acclaim for his work in Bangladesh is provided below. Syed Shah Ainu, Pir Saheb Syedona Hazrat Jami! Hazrat Marnujan Ouibla, also known as Ouaderi Baghdadi, was thirty-fifth in lineage and spirituality from Syedona Huzur Gausul Azam.
Born in 1931 AC in the renowned Khanquah Sharif Quadetia Aliya in Calcutta, he is the son of Syedona Hazrat Syed Shah Gulam Mustafa Hazrat Al-Quaderi Al. Hasani Wai-Hussaini ( 1906–1993) AC - a great wali and famous as Syedona Huzur Outbe Bangala. His father was the nephew and second son-in-law of Syedona wa Murshedona Hazrat Syed Shah Ershad Ali Al-Quaderi Al-Hasani Wai-Hussaini, Syedona Huzur Pak (1883–1953 AC), the most remarkable Saint of his era and well-known throughout the Indian subcontinent.. His mother, Hazrat Syeda Kaniz Mowla, also called Hazrat Syeda Jariatul Mowla (1910–1985 AD), was Syedona Huzur Pak's second cherished daughter and; a remarkable Wali in her own right,

Syedona Huzur Pak's firstborn grandson was Hazrat Mamuian. Ainul, Jamil, 'The Eyes of Jamil' (Jamil being the poetic name of Syedona Huzur Pak) was his name since the Saint of Bengal liked him so much. This child was later given the loving name Mamujan.

It was with Syedona Huzur Pak that Huzur Mamujan spent his early infancy, adolescence, and youth. He lived with his grandparents rather than his parents. He was the great Wali's prodigy and more than just a grandchild. He was practically a son of the great saint.

Syedona Huzur Pak personally oversaw Huzur Mamujan's schooling and spiritual instruction. In addition to being a loving grandfather, he was also his Pir-O-Murshed, or spiritual mentor. Thus, it was expected that Mamujan would pick up some of Syedona Huzur Pak's rare traits. Anyone who encountered Huzur Mamujan knew right once that he was a special individual with unmatched humility and civility, a deep care for the well-being of others, a helping demeanor, and complete commitment to his Pir and Murshid.

Throughout his twenty-one years in the Khanquah Sharif, Huzut Mamujan was constantly and directly supervised by Syedona Huzur Pak, who was unable to spend a single day apart from his cherished grandson. Syedona Huzur Pek was quite truthful and open with Marnujan, and Huzur Mamujan was actually closer to Syedona Huzur Pak than any other male family member. Many of the great Wali's Murids would remember that in those days, the easiest way for them to communicate with Syedona Huzur Pak and report their issues was through Huzur Mamujan. As a result, he served as a conduit for easy access to Syedona Huzur Pak.

The darkest moment in Huzur Mamujan's life was Syedona Huzur Pak's blessed departure in 1953. Despite this sad incident, he remained in Khanquah Sharif, Calcutta, refusing to relocate to his father's home. The primary cause of this was his strong belief that it was his obligation to ensure the well-being of Syedona Huzur Pak's third daughter and spouse, a born Wali renowned as the Rabeya Basri of Bengal. This remarkable woman dedicated her life to public service, meditation, and prayer. She didn't get married and start a family. The young Sufi so remained at the Khanquah Sharif following Syedona Huzur Pak. After that, he moved to Bangladesh to continue the Quaderia order's missionary work there.

It is important to note that Huzur Mamujan lived in Calcutta throughout the Bangladesh War of Liberation. Huzur Mamujan provided yeoman service for the refugees, Murids, and non-Murids when the genocide began in March 1971 and millions of innocent people were forced to flee this country in search of safety and protection in India. All of them who returned to Bangladesh after independence remember him with gratitude for his support and kindness.

Huzur Mamujan chose to immigrate to Bangladesh in the late 1970s and obtain Bangladeshi citizenship based on divine directives that he received on a spiritual level. His goal was to strengthen the Quaderia Order's membership in Bangladesh and seek to spread this revered and exclusive Sufi order throughout the nation. Following in the footsteps of his illustrious ancestors and inspired by the customs of the great Waiis.

Huzur Marnujan assembled the Murids and Syedona Huzur Pak believers residing in this nation between 1978 and 1987. Additionally, he encouraged a large number of new individuals to become members of the Quaderia Order of Sufism. He started the yearly Urs sharifs of the Qadria Order in Bengal as well as the Fateha Yazdaham Sharif and Fateha Doazdaham Sharif. During the month of Muharram, he arranged a regular Milad Mahfil on the eleventh and twentieth days of each lunar month. In the village of Karamtoe Tongi, Mamujan founded the Masjid-e-Quaderiya. Later, he established the Bazme Quaderia Complex in Dhaka, which houses the Khanquah Sharif Bazme Quaderia, separate prayer and seminar halls for men and women, arrangements for adult and child classes in Islamiat, and the Bazme Quaderia Islamic Library. Huzur Mamujar founded this organization on a small scale in 1978, and it has since grown into a distinctive, non-political, and non-religious social welfare organization that serves the needs of all Muslims, non-Muslims, and people of other faiths.

In order to follow the Holy Prophet SAS's Sunnah, Syedona Huzur Marnujan married at the age of 53 in the year 984. Hazrat Quarnruddoja Begum, the daughter of the late Mvi, A.N.M. Nazirul Huq of Noakhali, a former retired civil official, was his fortunate bride. Huzur Mamujan's wife is a well-educated woman who teaches at Dhaka University's Institute of Education and Research.

On the evening of December 29, 1992, the Prince of Waiis departed for his heavenly home, leaving all Quaderia Order members in a sea of sorrow (Inna Lillahe Wa Inna Elaihe Rajeyun).
Many Murids and non-Murids attended Huzur Mamujan's Namaz-e-Janaza, which took place in the Khanquah Sharif he founded. The same location housed his sacred mortal remains.

In the authentic traditions of exalted Walis, Huzur Mamujan was a Sufi poet of exalted rank. His Diwan (a collection of poems) is full of poems of extraordinary quality. The verses move the reader deeply and demonstrate the purity of his thoughts and his devotion towards his Pir-O-Murshed and other famous Walis, shining stars in the sky of Welayat (spirituality). This Diwan, in two volumes, has been edited and published by his brother-in-law, Prof. Dr. SSMA Khorasani Al-Ouaderi, and his youngest sister, Mrs. Syeda Rafiatul Mowia.

He significantly and favorably altered Sufism's practice in Bangladesh. His unwavering efforts led to the formation of a vibrant community of devotees among the Sufis of the Quaderia Order in Bangladesh. Additionally, Huzur Mamujan attracted hundreds of new Murids into the Quaderia Order. His social welfare, education, and spiritual development initiatives quickly gained widespread recognition, acclaim, and fervent public support. As a result, in just ten years, Huzur Mamujan became the most well-known Quaderi Wali in Syedona Huzur Gausul Azam's household in Bangladesh.

Huzur Mamujan's Bazrne Quaderia is still a popular destination for both Murids and non-Murids. Under the direction and supervision of Hazrat's wife, who is reverently called, the founder's spiritual, educational, and social welfare initiatives continue.

By all means, Huzur Mamijan. She currently serves as Bazme Quaderia's president. Prof. Dr. Golam Gaus Al Quederi, Mrs. Shaiqua Sharafi, Mrs. Syeda Meher Mustafa, Prof. Golam Dasogir Al Quederi, and Mr. Syed Tanvir Mustafa are the other members of the trust.

Despite the fact that Huzur Mamujan had no children, his nephews and nieces—the children of his two sisters—as well as other well-known followers have been effectively continuing the job that the great Huzur Mamujan began to preserve his legacy after his Wasal.
