It was in this monastery that he met Hazrat Farid-ud-Din Ganj Shukar and Hazrat Surkh Bukhari. His beliefs contradicted basic Islamic teachings.

There were many areas in the Punjab region where the light of Islam had not yet reached. In view of these circumstances, Hazrat Bahauddin Zakaria prepared a practical plan for the growth, orientation, and spread of Islam.

This dervish showed his helplessness as he heard the whole incident, that the dervishes took you to the neighborhood where Zanbeel used to appear. The game had started. Zabeel and Danda came to every door They flew through the air and people deposited their offerings on them. Qalandar Shahbaz extended his blessed hand. Zabeel and Danda fell into your hands. People were standing and watching the show. Hazrat Shahbaz Qalandar kept the stick with it and while giving Zanbeel to these dervishes said: “You stay with Zabeel. From today you are Zanbeel Shah. Whoever eats of your Zanbeel will be blessed.” Zabeel Shah's mausoleum is still present in Junagadh.

During his travels, he also visited Garnar and Gujarat and taught people about Tawheed and Haqqaniyat. At the time he lived in Garner, he was surrounded by a multitude of people in need. He was a persecuted, sick, and poor man of all times who was encouraged to live the reassuring words of Qalandar.

The people of Multan wanted you to go back and stay in Multan, but you expressed your intention to go to Sehwan and went Sindh. Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar visited Sindh in 649 AH.

Raja Chopat was a luxurious man. Raja was unaware of the condition of his subjects, anarchy and oppression were common everywhere and no cry was heard from anyone. This saying from that time is also famous as "Andheri Nagri Chopat Raj". Seeing helpless and defenseless people, a fascinator by the name of Sikandar Bodla used to chant a slogan: "My Murshid is coming, oppression is about to fall." Sikandar Bodla used to do it. One night the old man heard an unseen voice in a dream saying, "There comes a Qalandar man who will turn darkness into light." And save us from the tyranny of the king.

Success

In the dark of night and in the senate, this voice of fire disturbed the sleep of the people of the fort. At first, the Raja and the people of the fort ignored the slogans. When the slogans intensified, they also became confused. These rhetorical slogans not only infuriated but also frightened Raja Jasirkuna. Eventually, Raja's soldiers went and arrested him and brought him before the Raja. It is coming, the oppression is about to fall." So the king got angry and imprisoned Sikandar Bodla, but even in the jail, his slogans did not cease, the king was burning in the fire of torment all night. In the morning summoned the ministers.

The ministers said that if this person's skin is torn, you will come to. Raja gave permission. Whispers rained down on Sikandar Bodla, but he kept saying, "My mentor is coming." The brutal violence against Sikandar Bodla continued Whips were rained down on them almost daily, but the same slogan continued on their lips.

It is also a tradition that during his tourism, Qalandar Pak also met Haji Ismail Manohar in the town of "Pat". "Pat" was actually an ancient city in Sindh. They used to come to town. That is why the city is called "Qabat-ul-Islam" in the ancient chronicles. Due to its proximity to the river, orchards abounded in which pomegranates abounded. Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar is said to have committed suicide in this cave. There is also a "Lal Bagh" named after him near Sehwan Railway Station.

The streams are full. And God's creatures breathed a sigh of relief and became famous.

Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and his associates used to buy and sell liquor in a settlement near the camp where they camped. Due to the dervish encampment, the inhabitants of this settlement were afraid and went to the king and complained to him. Hearing the lies of these people, the king trembled with anger. In a very arrogant tone, he ordered Kotwal to respect these Muslim beggars and expel them from his kingdom. The Gaddafis said that we only obey the orders of our Murshid.

If you have something to say, say it. The soldiers felt as if they had lost the strength in their legs and could not move their bodies. Then, when the soldiers tried to return, their full strength was restored. The soldiers tried to go back to the store, but this time it happened to them. The soldiers were forced to return without doing anything. He immediately summoned his ministers, counselors, and court astrologers, hearing all the happenings, just like Hakim Sehwan, the members of the kingdom and those who knew the knowledge of the stars were stunned and disturbed.

Suddenly, deep shadows of fear began to tremble on their faces. The astrologers asked Raja Jirji. "Horoscopes show that a person will enter the realm of Hudood and then the same person will become a serious threat to your life and power. Probably the same person whose fascinated disciple you have imprisoned." A new stratagem was devised. Say and stay somewhere else. You ordered to put these jewels in the fire. As soon as he saw it, a flame broke out, and, indeed, all the diamonds, jewels, and gold pieces burned to ashes in the fire like coal and wood.

Gold that melts after a long time in a hot furnace turns to ashes in a few moments by the flames of a small fire. Seeing this miracle of the Muslim dervishes, the minister put his head on his feet and began to pray in a tone of supplication. Then, when the minister began to walk backward with trembling steps, he said in a very glorious tone: "Tell your king that we have not returned from here." If Hakim Sehwan wants his own safety, then he should get out of here himself, scared by a trivial matter. I have seen even greater magic.

There are perfect magicians in my kingdom who will shatter the talisman of the Muslim Sanyasi." A strange incident occurred during the Isha prayer. Hazrat Shahbaz Qalandar turned to the fort in the presence of the servants and said: Now come to us." The servants wondered whom the murshids were calling. Sikandar Bodla, who was in the custody of Raja Jirji and had endured painful punishment for many months. On the other hand, these words were spoken by your blessed tongue, and on the other hand, Budla's body was suddenly released from the chains. Bodla was still in shock when the prison door suddenly opened. Bodla heard the voice of his mentor, Bodla understood that it was nothing more than help.

He yelled, "My mentor is here, my mentor is here." At last, they reached the camp where Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and his companions were staying. He has been unfairly harassed by Hakim Sehwan. God willing! It will soon come to its tragic end.” Despite fierce opposition, he spread the light of Islam by staying in Sehwan Sharif, guiding thousands of people, connecting countless lost people with God, and giving people morality and love. Devotion to truth and goodness was revealed in the hearts of human beings. With his teachings and his good deeds, Sehwan's conversion to Islam led to the conversion of a large number of non-Muslims to Islam. Born in hearts.

Due to Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Raja saw his power in danger. Raja Jirji's dream was forbidden. The presence of Muslim dervishes in Sehwan had become a constant torment for him. Raja Jirji had shown his strength many times, but each time he had to face failure. Finally, Hakim Sehwan summoned some magicians from his area and asked them to confront the Muslim dervishes. But the Sehwan mages had already admitted their defeat before the match, saying that it was none of our business to defeat them. However, the sorcerers warned the king that if forbidden food was somehow inserted into the stomach of a Muslim dervish, all his spiritual power would be lost and then the power of our magic would prevail over him. He cooked it and sent it to the service.

Win the hearts of people.

of the Muslim dervishes after arranging several meals: "We thought that the disbeliever would believe after seeing so many signs, but he whose fate is doomed, no one can prevent him except Allah." Judaism was shaken by the action of Murshid. Then, in the second moment, the earth began to tremble. Sehwan was in the grip of a strong earthquake. The land took two or three million rupees and the whole game of power and authority ended. On the other hand, Khan was lying face down in front of the sheik. The foundations of Raja Jirji's fort were upside down.
