As Allah Al-Mighty has made the land of Sindh (Pakistan) fertile, rich in minerals and full with natural resources so has He bestowed it with the gross piety and sublime spirituality. This piece of Earth has been made a gateway of Islam from where the people of IndoPak received the message of Islam and the wealth of belief. This piece of land is also proud of the fact that from its fertile grains of soil Allah Al-Mighty, with His secret power, bore many pious people, the followers of Islam and flawless saints. These people who are the men of civility, friendship, piety, mystique, confessional and orthodoxy made the people of this territory aware of the sublimity of humanity with their spiritual thoughts, saintly vision and supreme character. They provided those people the access to meet Allah Al-Mighty and His Beloved Prophet (Peace be upon him). Those who did not eschew from illicit worldly affairs, characterless things and the worst customs of society, instead they loved them, purified their minds with saintly

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Muhammed Qasim Mashori

is one of them whose personality needs no introduction. Every one in the sub-continent knows him as a man of supreme knowledge, religious scholar, an ardent lover of Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him), polite, generous, civilized, reverend to the descendents of the last Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon him), the lord of Shariah and a lord of consecration.


The birth of pious Lord:
His honour was born on Rabi ul Awal 12, 1316 (Hijra) i.e. 1898 AD, at about third quarter of Monday night at village Sahib Khan Mashori, district Larkana. He was a born lord. Since childhood he remained neat and clean with Heavenly habits. His mother never fed him without ablution. Even when she had offered him feed without ablution he had not taken it. His honour never wasted time in playing like other children. His father said about him that he had neither eschewed like other babies for eatables or other worldly things nor did he ask for money. Since childhood he was pious, passionate and thankful. His honour told us that “when the child is in his single shirt, (A little one) from that period till today I never left saying prayers and recalling the name of Allah and Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him).


Ancestry:
His honor’s forefathers came in Sindh from Shoran Nari which is known as “Shoran Baluchistan”, district Dadar and settled here. He is son of Hajji Muhammad Usman Mashori who was true Muslim, pious and religiously perfect person. He was the true disciple of Peir Syed Imam Din Shah Rashdi (May Allah shower His blessings upon him).
Ancestors: Hazrat Allama Al-Hajj Muhammad Qasim s/o Muhammad Usman s/o Muhammad Nihal s/o Allah Bux s/o Yar Muhammad s/o Piyaro s/o Shah Muhammad.
Yar Muhammad had six sons: 1. Sahab Khan 2. Budho khan 3. Allah Bux 4. Adho Khan 5. Dodo 6. Muhammad Paryal.His honour is from the descendents of Allah Bux. Tree of the descendents of Allah Bux: Allah Bux his son Nihal Khan his son Hajji Muhammad Usman who had two sons; 1, Hazrat Allama Muhammad Qasim Mashori Sharif 2, Muhammad Nihal Khan who died in his youth.


His Character:
All the engagements of his 94 years age are the symbol for us like an open book written at an exemplary character. Seeing his sublime character and civility his opponents were saying prayers behind his leadership and were begging for prayer for their betterment from him. He was so trustworthy that the things kept with him were being returned back without touch. Even currency notes were not being changed because he used to say, “It is also dishonesty to return changed notes.” When ever a beardless person came to him he embraced him with love resultantly when the same person returned next time he came with beard. It was his character and mysticism which made alien his own. He himself was true Mujahid and attended trainings at Larkana to fight against the enemies of Islam. He invited the rulers of time to remain aware of the situation in his speeches.


Respect for Parents:
He respected his parents very much. He faced their hard and fast talk with respect and regard. When ever he had been in anger, if at that time his father came there and forbade him to show anger; his angry mood had been changed into smile. His mother had died earlier so after prayers and teachings this lord, before going to house, used to open the window of the Mosque to see the grave of his mother later on he was going to kiss the hands of his father as mark of homage. It is interesting to note that his father studied few books of syllabus and the book of Hadith ‘Mishikat ul Masabih’ at him when he opened his own religious school. It was queer enough that father was the student of his own son. Students of this school used to call his father ‘Dada Sain’ i-e grandfather. His father loved his loving son very much. He used the word “Sain” when he needed to call him.


His patience and cruelties of his neighbours:
His neighbours had always jealously against him. At the inception of his carrier he faced difficulties given by relatives and neighbours. At times these people troubled his honour but he remained silent. When this pious person opened religious school there his neighbours closed his entrance so students and followers were constricted. At the time of need my gracious lord had to take them out through his home. He didn’t loss his heart even at this juncture. Then his relative Hajji Karim Bux came there and asked him to knock the door of law. At that time he was sitting in Mosque, he replied that they were sitting in the house of Allah Al-Mighty, The Lord of all lords; and he knows them and their position. Leaving the door of His house we would not go elsewhere. What happened later on that those who had closed the street quarreled among themselves? Some of them went to knock the door of law. Mukhtiarkar (In charge of sub-district) taluka Dokri sent his office superintendent to settle the matter but before his arrival they cleared the path. He warned them that the person who closed the path in future would be sent to prison. This gracious lord said that the Sunnah of Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) was fulfilled. Mercy and love was his motto. He never cursed any body nor called ill names to any person. It was his custom that the villagers were being called on the day of Eid festival to dine with him. Un-fortunately any person fell ill from those who insulted him his honour used to see him at his house.


Hospitality:
He was very much generous. His hospitality was beyond any doubt. Every type of people, rich or poor, host or guest came there without hindrance to take food which still continues.
