Ancestry

Sayyid Mir Fazlullah is a Sayyid (a descendant of Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and his cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib). Among his ancestors are seven of the Twelve Imams, and in another lineage eleven of the Twelve Imams, Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani, Sayyid Bahauddin Naqshband, Sayyid Alauddin Atar, and Khwaja Khawand Mahmud (also known as Hazrat Ishaan) also.

After the Battle of Karbala, the ancestors of Sayyid Mir fazlullah, known as Ahl al-Bayt went back to Medina.[1] From there Musa al Kazim was forced to go to Iraq.[2] The Musavis, i.e. the descendants of Musa al Kadhim, settled to Persia. One of them was Khwaja Sayyid Mir Ismail Muhammad Hakim, father of Khwaja Sayyid Mir Latif, an ancestor of Sayyid Mir Fazlullah. The descendants of Sayyid Mir Latif immigrated to Bokhara and after that to Kabul to guide the Muslims there, where Sayyid Mir Fazlullah was born.[3][4]

Sayyid Mir Fazlullah's ancestors were as said also Askari Sayyids, i.e. descendants of Imam Hasan al-Askari, through his son Sayyid Ali Akbar,[5] whose existence was hidden, because of political conflicts.[6][7] Sayyid Ali Akbars descendants also migrated to Bokhara, where the prominent Sufi saint Bahauddin Naqshband, founder of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, was born.[8][9] A descendant of Bahauddin Naqshband after 7 generations was Hazrat Ishaan,[10][11] whose descendants later immigrated to variable regions of South Asia, like Khorasan, today known as Afghanistan in order to spread the Ishaqiyya Naqshbandiyya branch's teachings.[12][13][14][15]

His older brothers were Sayyid ul Sadaat Hazrat Sayyid Mir Jan, the highest authority of the Naqshbandi Tariqa and Sayyid ul Sadaat Mir Sayyid Mahmud Agha, Deputy of Hazrat Sayyid Mir Jan.

His family was especially known for their saintness and deep knowledge in Fiqh and Tariqah, which was transmitted from father to son from Prophet Muhammad. Furthermore, they initiated projects for the sake of disadvantaged people, especially orphan children. They were also inheritors of many historical relics, like clothing collections of Imam Hussein ibn Ali.[17]

Sayyid Mir Fazlullah was internationally acknowledged and was a spiritual retreat for Sultan Abdülhamit II.[22]

In one of his visits to Istanbul, Ottoman Empire, he held a speech, that attracted the masses in such a way, that a sign of trance and ecstasy could be seen on the faces of the audience. Upon this Sultan Abdul Hamid II, asked Sayyid Mir Fazlullah to stay in Istanbul and to become the Grand Mufti. Sultan Abdulhamid II immediately sent a letter to Amir Habibullah to ask for his transfer to Istanbul.
