BRIEF HISTORY OF MOHRA SHARIF:
The ancestors of Hazrat Khuwaja Pir Muhammad Qasim (ra) belonged to the famous Kiani (archimedian) dynasty of Iran where they ruled for centuries. "Dareus the great" was one of most famous emperors of this dynasty. After Iran they moved to Tibet and ruled there for generations, Tibet was named after "King Tibet khan", one of the well known rulers of this dynasty. From Tibet the forefathers of Baba ji moved to Kashmir, Allah also blessed them there and they ruled Kashmir for seven generations, after the murder of one of the kings "Rustam Khan", they then migrated to Afghanistan (kabul) and established their rule there. City of Kabul got its name from "Sultan Kabul Shah". Kabul Shah had two sons "Budhan Shah"and "Gakhar Shah". Gakhar Shah came to sub-continent with "Sultan Mehmood Ghaznawi"while Budhan Shah became the king after the death of Kabul Shah.
The descendants of Kabul Shah and Budhan Shah developed business relations with the state of Kashmir. One of the great grandsons of the Sultan Budhan Shah "Sultan Jeevan Khan" while going to Kashmir as a merchant visited this area, he married here and Allah blessed him with a son whom he named Muhammad Qasim. Sultan Jeevan Khan died here leaving behind widow and 6 months old son. Who knew at that time that an orphan left alone in a jungle with his mother at the age of six months will one day become great Ghous and Qutab of his time.
Ghous ul Umat, Hazrat Khuwaja Pir Muhammad Qasim "Baba ji" (ra). (Founder of Darbar Alia Mohra Sharif):
Hazrat Khuwaja Muhammad Qasim was only 6 months old when his father died. He was left alone with his mother, a pious, intelligent and dedicated lady. His mother bought him up and took special care of his educaction all by herself, as she knew about his father's dream in which he was told that a great and extraordinary child is to be born in their house.
Ghous ul Umat Hazrat khuwaja Pir Muhammad Qasim received his early education at home and in local madaras and then attained all the necessary religious education in different mukatib by the age of 18. On her great mothers command he then traveled to Delhi in search of knowledge, he spent about three years there and then came back after completing his education. Upon his return from Delhi he started the great mission of dawa and preached Islam. He then opened a madrasa for religious education in Jagyot and started teaching Islam and shariya to the people of surrounding areas.
Although he was a great scholar of religion but he always felt thirst for the real knowledge of the Creator and the creations. To seek the truth and marfat e Ilahi he visited many places, met ullema and sufis but was not satisfied. In the meantime two groups came to him to seek advice over a dispute, one of these groups poisoned him and he fainted, during this in his dream he saw "Kahyan Sharif" and heard a voice telling him to go to "Qibla e Alam Hazrat khuwaja Pir Nizamuddin" for the answers and satisfaction that he seeked. So after few days when he recovered, he planned to go to Darbar e Azam kahyan Sharif to pay his respects and meet Hazrat Baba ji sahib of kahyan Sharif.
It took about ten days to reach kahyan Sharif in the mountains of Kashmir. The moment he saw Hazrat khuwaja Pir Nizamuddin he knew he has got what he was always looking for. Cutting the long story short he surrendered himself (bae'at) in the hands of Qibla e Alam Hazrat Khuwaja Pir Nizamuddin(ra) and thus entered the sufi order of "Naqshbandiya Mujadidya". Murshid e Azam Hazrat khuwaja Pir Nizamuddin very graciously performed his dastar bandi, honored him with khilafat and ordered him to go to Masyare (now Murree) and start the mission of dawa there. Since then Hazrat khuwaja Pir Muhammad Qasim spent his entire life in Darbar Mohra Sharif and only visited Darbar e Azam kihyan Sharif once a year on the occasion of Urs to pay his respects in the bargha of his Murshid e Azam.
In the year 1891 Hazrat khuwaja Nizamuddin(ra) asked Hazrat khuwaja Muhammad Qasim to bring his eldest son along next time, so Hazrat khuwaja Muhammad Qasim took Hazrat Alhaj Pir Nazir Ahmed to kihyan Sharif in 1892 at that time he was only 12 years old, he was also given khilafat by the Murshid Azam in the same year.
Hazrat khuwaja Muhammad Qasim appointed his eldest son Pir Nazir Ahmed as his wali ehad (crown prince) first in the year 1912 and then reaffirmed it again in the annual Urs of 1925.
Hazrat khuwaja Muhammad Qasim (ra) the founder of Darbar e alia Mohra Sharif died at the age of 101 years, on saturday 21st november 1943.
