Life events
Sultan Mahmud Khurd’s military forces attacked Shah Jee Baba, and Shah Jee Baba’s victory over Sultan Khurd were the most prominent events of Shah Jee Baba's life.
Attacked by Sultan Mahmud Khurd
In 1133 Hijri (1720-21 A.D), he, along with his family, was invited to Sultan Mahmood Turk's Gullibagh palace. While on their way to the palace, his father Syed Muhammad Shah, grandfather Syed Habibullah Shah and some of his followers were assassinated by Sultan's military forces. In response, Shah jee baba and his followers killed and captured some of the attackers, who, in captivity, told Shah jee baba that they were sent by Sultan Mahmood to kill him. During the attack, Shah jee baba's leg was hit with an arrow.[2] According to some local legends, along with elders, some children and women were also killed that night. Local legends also believe that "Belay Wali Ziarat(Shrines at Bela)" in between Tarangri and Gullibagh is the burial site of those martyred that night.
Shah Jee Baba Victory over Sultan Khurd
After surviving the attack with a leg injury, Shah jee baba, along with his followers, went to Havellian, Abbottabad, where he was joined by his followers including jadoons, gujars, jahangeris, khankhels, sarkhels, punjghols, phastuns, turks, awans and people of Tarangri. After getting news of Sultan Mahmood's attack on Shah jee baba, Syeds and followers from Kashmir also reached Havellian, Abbottabad. While Jalal baba, after surviving an attack of the Turk army near Dugh BugherMungh, joined Shah jee baba with his Swati army near Dhamtour. They successfully attacked Gullibagh, where Sultan Mahmood escaped the attack and ran away. Both Shah jee baba and Jalal baba divided Pakhal into 4 parts between Swatis, the family of Sultan Mahmood, Jalal baba and Shah jee baba. According to recent surveys Shah jee baba accounted for a total sum of 128128 Kanals of land. Jalal baba and Shah jee baba converted the palace of Sultan Mahmood Turk into a tomb of Dewana Raja baba, one who predicted the Shah jee baba and Jalal baba victory over Sultan, before he was arrested for being hanged.[3]
