Miracles of the Saint : There are many miracles that have happened during the life
of Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari {R.A} and after his
death.As mentioned in the Quran...Holy Saints
who sacrifice and devoted their lives in the way
of Allah never die and one should not call them
dead. They are alive in the graves and get their
food and necessities from Allah.
It is learnt from reliable sources that Pir Haji
Ali Shah Bukhari {R.A} was Qutub-E-Akbar. Whatever
is known about miracles is learnt from the caretakers
and trustees from generation as the Saint had
never married and had no descendents. Some people
tried to display themselves as his descendants
or heirs and have destroyed the exact history
of the saint, his tomb and Dargah.
Recent Miracles :
- During the heavy rains on 26th July 2005
there was a huge destruction over most of the
part of Mumbai but the Haji Ali Dargah was not
affected by this incident.
-
The Tsunami that Killed Lacs of people did not
damage the Dargah at all which is situated in
the middle of the ocean
Oil
and the Lady : It is learnt from rivayat {being told by the people} that
Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari {R.A} was sitting at
some lone place and was busy in his prayers when
one lady passed from there crying and screaming.
When the Saint enquired about her crying she told
the Saint by pointing to an empty vessel and said
that she had dropped some oil from the vessel
and that if she goes home without the oil her
cruel husband would treat her badly and that's
why she was crying in need of help. The Saint
asked her to be calm and went with her to the
place where the oil had been dropped and then
he took the vessel from her and pushed the earth
with his thumb and the oil came out like a fountain
and the vessel was full. The Saint gave her the
vessel with oil and she went away happily. But at the same time the earth told the Saint that he had
pushed it and had given it trouble and some day
when he would be buried it might take revenge
of this. The Saint then realized that he had committed
a mistake and from that day he became very serious
and was not keeping well.
The
Pathway : Before his death he advised his followers that they should
not burry Him at any proper place or graveyard
and should drop his coffin that it should be buried
by the people where and when it is found so that
is why his tomb is in the middle of the sea where
some stones over a small mountain were lying above
the sea. The present chairman informs it and managing
trustee, Mr. A. S. Merchant that earlier
there was no pathway in the sea and people collected
stones and made a temporary path during low tide.
During high tide however the path was destroyed.
In 1944 his father Mohammad Haji Aboobakar
who was appointed trustee by The Attorney General,
Goverment of Bombay had decided to build a permanent
pathway but he was hesitant as he was not sure
if the path would withstand the sea fury during
the monsoon season almost all the roads of Mumbai
become rough and have potholes but till today
the pathway of the Dargah has never been damaged
or unsafe for the people to reach the Dargah Sheriff.
This is one of the biggest miracles of the
saint hundreds of years after his death.
Miracles
of the Dargah : In 1949 there was a big storm in Mumbai, which had not left
a single building without the slightest damage,
but there was no damage to the Dargah, sanatorium
or the pathway. There were waves of the size of
mountain and most people were scared that they
would drown. They then bowed down at the wall
of the Dargah, said their prayer and there was
lightening on the waves and the people returned
home without any harm to themselves or to their
property.
It is learned from the thousands of visitors and devotees
who have visited the tomb of the Saint that with
proper faith and belief they have achieved whatever
they have had asked for from the Saint blessings.
