Arif Billah Hadhrat Shaykh Ali Murtaza rahmatullah alayhi (the Shaykh of Shaykh Asif Hussain Farooqui daamat barakatuhum). The shaykhs homeland was Gadai, Dera Ghazi Khan and he was born in the year 1907 AD.

He was an exceptional scholar. He mastered Tafseer, Ahadeeth, Fiqh, Mantaq and Philosophy with Hifz. He learnt Tajweed and Qaraa'at from Qari Abdul 'Aleem in Saharanpur. Among his teachers were Hadhrat Mawlana Khaleel Ahmad Sahib Saharanpuri, Mawlana Thaabit Ali Sahib, Mawlana Abd-ul-Lateef Sahib, Mawlana Waahid Bakhsh Sahib, and Mawlana Muhammad Siddeeq Sahib. Apart from this he also received lessons on Hadeeth from Hadhrat Mawlana Muhammad Yahya Sahib who was the father of his class-fellow Hadhrat Shaykh-ul-Hadeeth Maulana Zakariya Sahib nawwarAllahu Marqadahu.

During the last year of acquiring Zahiri knowledge, Hadhrat Shaykh felt a severe need for the acquisition of Batini knowledge. He attached himself to Qibla-e-Aaalam, Qutb-ul-Irshad, Hadhrat Mawlana Fazal Ali Shah Qurayshi rahmatullah alayhi.

Hadhrat Sahib's love for his Shaykh was very great indeed. Every other week he would travel by foot from Gadai towards Miskeenpur Shareef. On his journey he would cross the Sindh River and then would reach Miskeenpur to be in the presence of the Shaykh by noon on the following day. It was the Hukm of Hadhrat Shaykh that he must not get involved in any kind of chit chatter or discussion on his journey.

He had permission in all the Silsilahs from His Shaykh but the dominant silsilah was Naqshbandiah.

Poverty did not affect or shake the steadfastness of Hadhrat Shaykh. He always worked, sewing clothes and working in a library containing religious books. He continued to deliver lessons on Deen for no charge . The gatherings of Allah's dhikr and shukr went on. Gatherings of Muraqabah Dhikr would take place daily after morning Salaah for one hour and for twenty minutes after Maghrib Salaah which would end with Du'a. On Friday night Hadhrat would give a Bayan after the gathering of Muraqabah Dhikr.

Hadhrat Shaykh went for Hajj on fourteen occasions. The first of which took place in 1357 AH. On this occasion it happened that Hadhrat Shaykh had only seventy rupees. On this first Hajj, Hadhrat Shaykh was at the blessed shrine of Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and conveying his farewell salaam. At that moment a voice came from the blessed shrine saying “'Awdan, 'Awdan”. This was an invitation, and good news, for Hadhrat Shaykh to come again. It happened just that way - Hadhrat Shaykh returned for Hajj the following year.

On another occasion Hadhrat Shaykh did not have enough to cover the expenses for staying in Madinah Munawwarah, and had been without food for a few days. With this Hadhrat Shaykh did Ziyaarah of Rasoolullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam who said to him “Whose guest are you?”. He replied “I am Your guest O Messenger of Allah”. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then placed something in his hand. When Hadhrat Shaykh awoke he opened his hand to find a Riyaal inside it.

During his last days Hadhrat Shaykh began to say such things which made it feel that he was close to separating from this world. A close friend had a dream, in which he saw that two of the minarets of the Haram in Makkah had fallen. Hadhrat Shaykh gave the explanation of the dream that soon will come the passing away of a Friend of Allah who would be irreplaceable. It happened that way. On Saturday the 25th of Shawwal 1408AH he parted from thousands of loving followers. At the time of his death, there was a smile on his face and the index finger of his right hand was pointing straight.

It was the wish of Hadhrat Shaykh that he be buried at the place where the people took off their shoes for prayer. His Kafan was the Ihraam materials of many years.

In his last sermon on the night of Friday 24th Shawwal Hadhrat Shaykh said “He who purified his Nafs is the successful one. An important reason for the sending of Prophets by Allah is for purification and for the rectification of Manners. For the purification of the Nafs, three things are done and one is left. The things that are done are the Dhikr of Allah, following of the Sunnah and to acquire the company of a Shaykh. And the thing that is to be left is Sin. The following of the Sunnah is Noor, without light it is impossible to walk in the path. Without the Sunnah, Tareeqat becomes deception.”

There are fifty-nine Khaleefahs of Hadhrat Shaykh nawwarAllahu Marqadahu, who are spreading the blessings of Hadhrat Sahib throughout the world.
