It was Shah Waliullah (R), who was indeed a personality not to be described in few words. Allah Ta’la has accepted him and his dynasty for the service of Islam.
I however would tell you about one of his grandsons – Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R). He was the son of Shah Abdul Ghani Saheb (R), the youngest son of Shah Waliullah (R).
Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R) was fighting against the Sikhs on May 09, 1831. A sikh – in front of Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R) called names against our beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam. Instantly Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R) got vexed and uttered – “By Allah! I would not die before I kill you!” Suddenly another kafir – standing right behind struck Hazrat with a sword and chopped his head off; Hazrat’s head fell on the ground…..
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam informed in one Hadith, “There are some slaves of Allah Ta’la, if they utter something by the Name of Allah Ta’la – He fills the desire of those slaves”.
This promise of Allah Ta’la got true in case of Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R). Allah Ta’la exposed the Spiritual power of his friend.
Though beheaded, Hazrat threw his sword (which was in his hand) at the kafir who ran off just after calling names against our Prophet; the kafir at that time was 220 yards far trying his best to flee. However the desire of Allah Ta’la has resembled his friend’s wish…..! The culprit was killed by the sword of Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R), which chased him all the way and struck him brutally. And finally a Star of Islam, a Great Lover of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam got Martyred. O Allah….Bless him with Your Greatest of Honors! Ameen.
Shah Ismail Hossain Shahid (R) does make us remember the Great Shuhada: Hazrat Hamza (Radi), Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Zubayer (Radi) and Hazrat Khabbab (Radi).
O Martyr! You have sacrificed
I have only heard of you and cried.
This cry makes me joyful today
When of you – I would say.
This wretched heart will fill in glory
