हज़रत सिद्दीके अकबर रज़ियल्लाहु तआला अन्हु को हुजूर सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम से इस कद्र मुहब्बत थी कि हुजूर सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम के विसाल शरीफ के बाद आप फिराके महबूब (महबूब की जुदाई) के सदमें में बेचैन रहने लगे और थोड़ी मुद्दत के बाद ही बाप बीमार पड़ गये। आपके इलाज के लिये एक हकीम को बुलाया गया। हकीम ने बड़े गौर से देखा और कहा कि यह मरीज़ किसी की मुहब्बत में बीमार है। इनका महबूब इनसे जुदा है। इसी फ़िाके महबूब के गम में यह बीमार हुए। इनका ईलाज दीदारे यार के अलावा और कुछ नहीं। जहां तक हो सके इनके महबूब को इन्हें दिखाओ। (सीरतुस-सालिहीन सफा ६०)

सबक़ : सिद्दीके अकबर रज़ियल्लाहु तआला अन्हु सच्चे महबूब (सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम) के सच्चे मुहिब (चाहने वाला) व तालिब थे।

Zafar Khan(Persian: ظفر خان‎ literally chief of victory), originally named Malik Yusuf Hizbaruddin[1] was a Muslim Indian military general of Khilji dynasty, ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in northern India.[2] Zafar Khan holds the honour of being one of the few undefeated military commanders in history. He successfully repelled several Chagatai Khanate Mongol’s invasions which secured Alauddin Khilji’s throne.

Early career
Zafar Khan was one of the earliest followers of Alauddin Khilji who follow him even at the time of Alauddin’s Uncle Jalaluddin Khilji who are non-Turkish origins aside Nusrat Khan and Malik Kafur who achieved high position in the sultanate. together with Ulugh Khan they are an important supporters of Alauddin when the future Sultan coup against Jalaluddin Khilji and succeeded as the next Sultan. according to Barani’s Tarikh i Firoze Shahi, he was regarded by Barani as one of four Alauddin’s most important and trusted general which collectively known as four great Khans of Delhi Sultanate, the other Khans consisting Ulugh Khan, Nusrat Khan, and Alp Khan. he has nephew named Alisha, or Ali Shah was an amir a sada(literally leader of hundred) under Qutlugh Khan.

During Alauddin launched expedition in southern India first campaign in Deccan in 1294 without Jalaluddin’s permission Zafar Khan had been in the forefront along with another Khilji’s famous general Malik Kafur through hilly range path. both generals easily defeat the Devagiri army in this campaign and Alauddin exacting tributary status towards Devagiri kingdom

After Alauddin’s conquest of Delhi, he want to settle score with Jalali family which headed by Arkani Khan, son of Jalal ud din Firuz Khilji and the Governor of Multan and Sindh. so he dispatch Ulugh Khan and Zafar Khan with 30.000 to 40.000 cavalry. they laid siege the fort of Multan for two months before the fort was finally subdued and Arkali surrendered. for his contributions now he was promoted by Sultan to be Ariz-A-Mumalik,or minister of war, which responsible for the administration of the army, including recruiting, payment of salaries, supplies, and transportation. The office was similar to that of the mir bakshi under the Mughals Mongol invasion
During the invasion of the Chagatai Mongols, the Delhi Sultanate’s army managed to halt the advance of Chagatai army under the command of Saldi near the city of Jalandhar. The Chagatai army was perished with 20.000 slaughtered near Jalan Manjur by Zafar Khan and Ulugh Khan while hundreds Mongols were captured and brought before Sultan Alauddin.

In 1298 he once again led the Sultanate army to defeat the Mongols who invaded lower Sindh and occupied Siwistan fortress,which also known by the name of Sadusan by medieval Arab geographer prior to the expedition of Muhammad bin Qasim in the 7th century.firstly he led the punitive force to engage the Mongol army outside engaging them in fierce close combats and then continued to proceed attack until inside the fortress. as a result of this battle the Mongol forces were completely perished and even their commander was captured. This great victory was inspired awe in Zafar Khan’s name. so in effect he was given charge of Samana, an important military post in Punjab to defend the Sultanate from the Mongol invasion

The biggest Mongol invasion took place in 1299, when under the command of Qutlugh Khwaja, Mongols attacked India.This time the Mongols did not plunder the people on the way to Delhi. They did not want to waste their energy doing this. This was considered a wise step and succeeded to reach near Delhi. The situation became very grave. The people of nearby areas entered into Delhi. There was no free space even in mosques

Ala-ud-Din consulted his ministers and chiefs. Many of them said that it was impossible to say as to which side was likely to emerge victorious. They said that their own army had spent their lives in warfare against the Hindus only, and had not joined in battle against the Mongols. They suggested for a compromise, but Ala-ud-Din was not ready for it. He rejected their advice and said, “If I were to follow your advice how could I show my face, how could I go into my harem? No, come what may tomorrow, I must march into the battlefield”.

He ordered his army to attack under the command of Zafar Khan to led the wing and Ulugh Khan. His army attacked and fought bravely and manage to force the enemy army to retreat while he pursuing them. Ala-ud-Din defeated the Mongols despite Zafar Khan was killed in this battle by the Mongol commander Targhi Beg because he was recklessly pursue the retreating enemy without realizing he’s falling onto trap.It is Said before slain Zafar Khan fight in reckless abandon by shooting his remained arrows knowing his end was near and killing several enemy soldiers before he succumbed
It is due to his successful campaign against Chagatai Khanate that legend says has it that Zafar Khan created such great terror in the minds of the Mongols that whenever their horse refused to drink water, the Mongols would ask them if they had seen Zafar KhanZafar Khan’s tomb is situated just opposite the main entrance of Tughlaqabad Fort in the octagonal fortress enclosing the majestic tomb of Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq which also has the grave of Muhammad bin Tughluq, on the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road which commonly known as “Badarpur Border” in New Delhi.

In Damascus there is a Shaykh buried there, his name is Shaykh Muhammad Ayub Tahir Kurdi (Alayhi Rahma), his foot is out of his grave and it is preserved.

His foot is out of his grave because there was a dispute between two groups in Damascus regarding the Awliya, the groups went to the Shaykh to ask which group is right and which group is wrong, the shaykh said come back tomorrow, when they went back the next day they found out the shaykh had passed away. They went to the shaykhs grave and said Shaykh you said you would sort out this issue and as soon as they said this the Shaykhs foot came out of his grave, then someone said we don’t know if there has been a Wali of Allah from the kurds and when he said this a voice came from the grave ” I am Kurdi, I am a Wali of Allah and I have taken my foot out of my grave, this must be enough proof that I am a Wali of Allah.”

Thousands of people witnessed this miracle in Damascus and it has been 800 years since he passed away. If you visit his grave in Damascus you can see that his foot is out of his grave and it is preserved.
