Biography
Hyderabad has been the city of Sufis for hundreds of years. The great engineer, builder, administrator, Hazrath Hussain Shah Wali, built the bridge linking Hyderabad – Secunderabad, known as HUSSAIN SAGAR KA KATTA. Tanay Shah was the disciple of Hazrath Shah Raju Qattal. During the period of the last two Nizams, the city was the hub of Sufis, belonging to different orders. Hazrath MACHLIWALE SHAH was one of those saints who attracted professors, administrators, judges, collectors, poets and writers. Maharaj Kishen Pershad was always at his beck and call.

Hundreds of disciples attracted to his father --- a spiritual magnet. Hazrath Sahvi Shah, translated Quran and wrote many books of Tasawwuf and poetry. Hazrath Moulana Ghousavi Shah imbibed the love of learning from his father and engrossed himself in Tasawwuf and writing books. His Sunday DHIKR, attracts many of his disciples. DHIKR is followed by his explanation of the terminologies of Tasawwuf and disciples would be asked to give talks on mysticism. The Sunday school is a training ground for MURIDEEN.

Hazrath Moulana Ghousavi Shah has great respect for Hazrath Imam Abu Hanifa. He observes his death anniversary annually. IBNE ARABI, who died in the year 1245 A.D. is the master of this order. Hazrath learnt FUSSOS-IL-HIKAM from his father and became an authority on WAHTADUL-WUJOOD. KHANKAH is part of his house and here the initiates dwell and practice the order.

Hazrath Moulana Ghousavi Shah, simplified the teachings of IBNE-ARABI, in consonance with the times. Disciples from Bellary, Bombay, Madras, Machilipatnam, frequently visit him for sufistic practices. The KHANKAH is known as BAITH-UN-NOOR. It is a spiritual retreat.

“NOOR(light) encompasses your mind, body and spirit when you practice DHIKR consistently with devotion. It is the repetition of the name of god. The light can be seen in your speech and movements. The eyes sparkle, reflect the vibrations of your heart. The heart-beats are transformed into spiritual beats, expelling all darkness” says he, lauding the virtues of DHIKR.

His disciples recite NAAT (poems in praise of the Prophet) MANQABAT (poems in praise of saints). He himself is a poet, though not as great as his father, who wrote number of books of poetry. The Qawwals find in those verses enough spiritual stuff and render them with great feeling. Hazrath Sahvi Shah wrote devotional Thumris also.

Hazrath Moulana Ghousavi Shah has a great sense of awareness; that makes him the champion of national integration and Hindu-Muslim Unity. The doors of his KHANKAH are open to members of all communities and Hindus come in large numbers to seek his blessings. In 1987, he organized a conference of world religions, which attracted delegates from many parts of the world. He was the Secretary General of the Conference. The conference received encomiums from the press and the people.

His disciples are totally devoted to him. He makes them at ease, as he talks to them. They feel so homely. The smiles that radiate from his face, makes them more comfortable. No light hearted comments, diminish their respect for him. He instills in them the spiritual message, with this strategy. He does not believe in using a rod.

He is a great lover of children. His little nephews and nieces, hog around him to collect chocolates, biscuits and ice-creams. Their presence is a great delight to him. He feels as fresh as a flower. Rightly has wordsworth said “Child is the Father of Man”.

He loves charity and hospitality is his weakness. The poor enjoy his charity and the rich BARKAT(blessings). When the bandh-mutthi (closed hand) opens. You cannot say ‘no’ to this. The mureed gratefully accepts. Hospitality is not confined to Machlipatnam, Bellary and Bombay walas. He who comes to him cannot go without “a loaf of bread” that is again a BARKAT – a blessing, in the form of food. BAITH-UN-NOOR is a place of physical and spiritual nutrition. Seeing his charity and hospitality, his murideen and his children have adopted these virtues and practise them.

He keeps his doors open to all the needy. He never resisted those, who launched a tirade against him; preferred to migrate, in consonance with the spirit of Islam. He would rather suffer in process, than ever complain.

The detractors nearly persecuted him, when he was re-building and renovating the mosque of his grandfather MASJID-E-KAREEMULLAH SHAH, whose Mutawwali, he was. His disciples stood like a rock with him – true Mujahids. Shahid, his younger brother was his pillar. Shahid finds in his elder brother a spiritual leader. The renovated mosque is a sheer piece of beauty.

It is a unique family, with all the members, welded together in total harmony and unity. This is the art of living. Living comes out of good living in practise. Though you may find these gems in books, unless you practise them, you cannot lead an ideal life. A sufi is one who practices all the best virtues of life and here is an ideal sufi and an ideal sufi family.

His murideen are soldiers of devotion and the devotion is amazing. You can see the devotion during the Urs celebrations of his order. He has great respect for ULEMAS and SUFIS of all disciples and orders.

All this is not exaggeration nor any attempt to boost up the image of a murshid. This is definitely an attempt to unfold the virtues of a man who is honest and transparent and inspires you to lead such a life.

His few general teachings

 * 1) God Almighty, is the creator of all things in the Universe.
 * 2) God alone is the giver of profits and losses.
 * 3) God the high above, fulfils the inherent needs and demands of whole of his creation to the highest pitch (directly as well as through some media or source).
 * 4) God is neither a soul nor merely a power, but He is the creator of all such forces.
 * 5) Nothing is self existing in reality but is subject to the act of creator i.e. God.
 * 6) God is apparent by the shape of everything and is free from every shape. Everything is manifestation of God yet He is infinite and above His manifestations.
 * 7) God is light and existence, whereas the creation without Him, infact, is in the darkness of non-existence.
 * 8) God is found of expression and man is in want of existence.
 * 9) The human being is the everlasting bondman of the God high above (Man is the eternal and permanent slave of God).
 * 10) Nothing has movement, except with the force of God.
 * 11) Believe that God is with me and every act of me is in His sight.
 * 12) We should worship God in a manner, as if we are seeing Him.
 * 13) Man is bound to believe and accept all the previous prophets and messengers of God, with the due respect and without any prejudice. Man should also believe in the Holy Books and scriptures, revealed upon then by God. The vested interest of priest lords have, perhaps, corrupted some of the teachings. Now all human beings should follow the tenents of Islam, as enjoined in the Holy Quran and the traditions of Holy Prophet Hazarath Mohammad(PBUH) which cover and complete the mission of the all previous messengers of God.
 * 14) The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrath Mohammad (PBHU) is the last of God's messenger's He is for the whole universe and for all time.
 * 15) The Holy Principle of La-Elaaha-illallahu Mohammadur-Rasoolullahi. (There is no God save Allah and Mohammad S.A. is his Prophet), is the guiding light from God and final and obligatory commandment.
 * 16) In the light of Islam, all himan beings are equal in the eyes of God irrespective of caste, creed class, colour. If there is any difference, it is on account of their good deeds.
 * 17) Patriotism is part and parcel of belief (i.e.Iman).
 * 18) As per one Hadees, our beloved Prophet Hazrath Mohammad (PBUH) felt the smell of love from our motherland India. We are proud of being Indians. According to teaching of Islam one should give respect and be obedient to the ruler of his country and follow the constitution and rule of his motherland.
