Sayyid Meerakh Shah Kashani (سید میرک شاہ کاشانی), (6 September 1895 – 13 December 1971) properly known as Faqir-i-Milat, was a Sufi poet and 19th - 20th century spiritual leader.[5][6] He is among the founders of Anjuman Tableeg ul Islam (ATI), first Sunni Muslim organisation in Jammu and Kashmir and Madinat Ul Uloum institute. He was related to the Sufi orders of Qadiriyya, Naqshbandi, Kubrawiya and Chishti Order.[7][8]
Early life and education
Mirakh Shah Kashani was born on 6 September 1895 in Saraf Kadal Srinagar Jammu and Kashmir to Sayyid Ahmed Shah Naqash. His mother died when he was two years old. After three years he lost his father as well. He had no formal education beyond initiation in Quran, Hadith and some Persian literature[9] and when it was insisted upon he refused and began to spend time with fakirs or saints and Qalandars.[citation needed]
Sayyid Mirakh's ancestor Sayyid Habibullah Kashani, had migrated from Kashan, a city of Isfahan in Iran and he was the descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through the ancestor lineage of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani.[citation needed]
He started calligraphy of Quranic verses to raise money to feed himself and his disciples.[10]
Death and burial
It was 24th Shawwal, (13 December 1971), three days before Indo-Pak war ended that he died at the age of 76. He was buried in Shalimar Bagh, Srinagar called "Khanqah-i-Kashaniyah" near his predecessors, Abdul Qadoos and Laal Shah Sahib.[8] On his death date (Hijri), his Ur's is being observed every year.[11][12]
