SUFI SANT MOHD.GHOS

Hazart Mohd.Ghos is at the highest peak amongst Sufis in connection with Salaris of Middle era of India. In his time he was being addressed as Ghos. Mohd Ghos is author of many books of which " GULZARE ABRAR" is very famous.This great Darvesh was born on 6th Rajab Friday 907 hijri at Ghazipur, U.P. As per intzan Ullah Sahab he is said to have born in 890 Hijri. "Mankbe Ghosia", much talked about Granth of 16th Century written by Fazal Ali Satari has ascribed that the full Name Of Ghos Sahib was Hamid-ud-din Mohd.Ghos. Writer Fazal Ali, a contemporary of Akbar, in his book " KULYATE GWALIOR ", which is recognised as an old historic book on Gwalior, has written that except Gousal Box who was the last Ghos there had been no Ghos who came into being after him. It is crystal clear that Ghos is not the name but a title like Bahrul Hayat, Jawahar-e-Khamsa, Kabide Makhajan, Kanjul Vahida, etc. As per Dr.Harihar Nivas Dwivedi, Mohad Ghos visited Gwalior in 1523. After 4 years of his arrival. Afghan sardar Rahim Dad Sahib became the ruler of Gwalior. Being influenced by Ghos Sahib Mughal emperor Babar paid tributes of HAZRI & AKIDAT in honour of Ghos Sahib. This histroic fact has been established by almost all the historians. Mohad ghos was blessed with 3 sons and 2 daughters. His eidest son was Sheikh Abdulah whose tomb is situated near his own tomb of MeerHadi sharif. Bibi Zahida and Bibi Malha were his daughters. As per Barbare Akber, when Army general of Babar reached Gwalior with his forces, then Subedar of Gwalior Tatar khan refused to surrender Gwalior fort to him. But Daulat Rao the next ruler of the shinde dynasty shifting his capital from Uijain to Gwalior, founded a new city which in course of time, came to be known as Lashkar.He with a view to meet the requrementts of his vast empire, set up another mint at'danaoli' in the new city of Gwalior. Ghos Sahib, who used to offer prayer in Gwalior Fort without any blood-shed or battle could persuade to hand over Gwalior fort to soidiers of Baber. He himself in his "BABARNAMA" has mentioned this occurrence in detail. This is said to be 933 Hijri 28th November. Amongst Sattari sufi saints Ghos Sahib was such a saint before whom emperors bowed their heads. Humayun and Akbar became his discipales. Famous poet Khadak Rai who was Bhat of Tomars has mentioned in his writngs that Akbar was very much devoted to Ghos Sahib and was so much influenced by Ghos sahib that on his advice Baber handed over reigns of India to Humayun. This fact can be read in book MADHUMALTI written by Mata Prased Gupta. Afghan king Sher-Shah was annoyed with Ghos Sahib because of his blessings to Babur and Humanun and for this reason he had once sent an army to Gwalior to kill GHos Sahib. Once Ghos Sahib was compelled to kill 12000 soldiers of sher-shah Ghos sahib was pained at this incident Humayun had written a letter of apology to Ghos sahib for being harassed by sher-shah. This narrated at page 292 of "GULZAR-BABAR" Mohd Ghos was KAMIL of Mangal Stare, this pride could not be achieved by any other saint. Many historians have described- Akbar as disciple of Mohd Ghos Akbar, when he was not throned as Emperor, had come to Gwalior to meet Ghos Sahib in 966 Hijri After becoming emperor, he participated in MAHFILS of Ghos sahib and received his blessings The beautiful tomb of ghos sahib is an example of worid fame archaeological monument which was constructed in 38 years. This was constructed during the reign of Akbar by eldest son of Ghos Sahib under the supervision of Emperor of Emperor at the Government expense.
