| Notes | |
Hadhrat Molana Pir Faqir-u-llah Bakoti Usmani [3] (died 18 November 1921) was an Islamic scholar as well as leader in the War of Independence of Pakistan and Jihad of Kashmir against British rule in India and Dogra raj in Kashmir.
Origins[edit]
Pir Faqirullah Bakoti Usmani's ancestors had come from Kundan Shakrean (Azad Kashmir) five hundred years ago. His father, Molana Mian Hafiz Taj Mohammed Usmani, was a religious leader at that time and probably migrated from Phanna Chapprhean, Chikar, district Muzaffarabad, Kashmir[4] to the Hazara Division, where his uncle was a priest in a religious school in Baffa, Mansehra. He then went to Swat, to obtain spiritual training from the Akhund Abdul Ghaffur of Swat known as Pir Abdul Ghafoor, and stayed there many years and completed his religio-spiritual education in 1836, then returned to Hazara. Eventually settling in Bakot area, where the local Mojwal Dhund Abbasi tribe donated some land for him to build a small mosque and house for himself. It is claimed he came and settled here on the orders of his mentor, the Akhoond.[5] He later initiated resistance against British colonial rule from this location
His Mission[edit]
Pir Bakoti Usmani was a spiritual legend as well as a religious personality of his time. He established Mosques throughout the area and started Friday Prayers.[6] He released his Verdict[7] about Juma in 1873, and offered the first prayer in Bakote in 1870, Osia, Birote and later in Potha Shareef, Murree[8]
Why Pir Bakoti had not reconstruct the masque at Chaprhean?[edit]
It is a very strange that Pir Bakoti Usmani life mission was to construct new masques and start of Friday Prayers but his critics are expressing their strangeness why he committed his negligence related to a masque where he got religious education in his early childhood age to his father Molana Mian Hafiz Taj Mohammed Usmani in Chaprhean, Chikar? Some people expressed the point of view that there was no population at that place because when Molana Mian Hafiz Taj Mohammed Usmani, father of Pir Bakoti Usmani breathed his last, local people and his family migrated to Pajjah Shareef, a few miles upside north east of Chaprhean. They argued that Pir Bakoti main interested places were Pajjah Shareef, Birote, Molia, Bakote, Murree City and Osia where he spent his large time, built masques and started Friday Prayers.
Death[edit]
Pir Bakoti Usmani became ill in March 1922 and he felt that the time of his return to Almighty Allah was near, so he wrote a Testament about his property, houses and other belongings in the presence of Elders in Chikar, Kashmir. This eight page Testament provided safeguard in coming days to his descendants. He had been married to Pajjah Shareef, Birote, Selmia and Bakote and no dispute arose about his property after his death because of this Testament. It is a beacon of light not for his families but all others who follow him.
