He is Syed (descendent of Hadhrat Ali) through both his father and mother. He is descendent of Hadhrat Ali (May Allah SWT be well pleased with him) through 44 generations.

At a young age, he came to Hyderabad from Nuldarg for education. Apart from the sciences which were in vogue then, he also mastered Tafseer, Hadith and Fiqh and became a leader of the Shariah sciences. In Tasawwuf, he became a disciple of Hadhrat Miskin Shah Sahab Qibla (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) and was awarded the authorization (Khilafah) as well. He is the son-in-law of a very pious person of Hyderabad, Hadhrat Gul Badhsah (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) who is from the family of Hadhrat Syed Abdul Wahab Qadri (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him).
His elder son passed away in infancy, which caused great sorrow to his wife. During these times, a mystic ( Majzoob ) came and told her: Daughter! Do not be sad! Very soon, you will be given the return of what you are lost. Look at the sky! Your son can be seen coming! She says: Out of love for my (dead) child and out of my innocence, I thought that my deceased child is being given back to me through the prayers of the mystic. When I saw at the sky, I saw a radiant lamp descended from the sky and entered my house. It radiance was such that till the farthest limits of sight, the atmosphere was full of radiance and my eyes were struck by it. Soon after this, the pregnancy period started.
Accordingly, Hadhrat Muhaddith-E-Deccan, the leader of the A’arifeen Abdullah Shah Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Qadri (May Allah SWT shower His Mercy on him) arrived into this world on 10 Dhul Hijjah, 1292 Hijri as an embodiment of this glad tiding. He arrived at 5 o’clock in the morning.
