Family Origination and History[edit]
The Nawabs of Doolighat trace their lineage back to the 9th Imam, Hazrat Muhammad al-Jawad, the great grandson of the Prophet Mohammed.[10]
The family originated from the lands of Neshapore, migrated back to the city of Mecca, became one of the richest and the most prominent families, but later shifted to the city of Rum(Turkey), where it held high designations under the Seljuk Sultans. Makhdoom Shah Syed Mohammad-e-Makki-Rumi-al-Chishti (R.A) served as the Governor of Rum and in his last days, he moved to the city of Chisht and turned into a Sufi, his son Makhdum Shah Syed Nezam-ad-Deen Rumi Al-Makki (R.A), married the granddaughter of the Kilij Arslan IV. [11] Due to the continuous Mongol attacks he shifted back to Mecca where his son Makhdoom Shah Sheikh Shams-ad-Deen Faryad Ras 'Shams' (R.A) was born in the year 1270 AD.[12]
After the death of his father, Makhdum Shah Sheikh Shams-ad-Deen Faryad Ras (R.A) along with the Qazi of Sultan Kaykhusraw III, Mohammad Rafi-ad-Deen travellled tp Hindostan, during the reign of Ghiyas ud din Balban in the year 1278 AD.[13] He was awarded with the jageer of Mauza Kolab, by the Sultan and thus, he settled in Ayodhya.
The family remained in Oudh till the reign of Emperor Humayun, where Makhdoom Shah Syed Manjhan Shaheed (R.A), served as a high rank official at his court, but later got disheartened by the emperor, left the position and moved back to his ancestral home in Oudh.[14]
