HAZRATH SYED SHAH SARWAR BIABANI (R.A.)

EDUCATION

He was brought up at his maternal grand father’s house in Hanamkonda till he attained the age of eleven, as his mother died when he was only seven days old. As his grand father was transferred to Karimnagar his Bismillah Khani was celebrated in Karimnagar in the presence of his father. He received his primary education from the great teachers like Moulavi Vali Abdullah Saheb Ar-Rifayee, Moulavi Sarwar Shah Saheb, Mufthi Badaruddin Saheb and Moulavi Shah Ali Saheb Mahajir Madani at Warangal.

He showed at most interest in reading good books. He read a good number of sacred books. He almost by heart Ghayas-ul-Lughat, a dictionary. We find easy flow of words and clarity of thought in his writings. His handwriting was very superb. His speech was very marvelous. His deep immersion in study made him oblivion of his surroundings. According to his disciples once he was reading an interesting book. He almost immersed in it. A cobra had fallen beside him from the roof of the house. He was reading and reading, though the hissing of the snake was audible. He did not care a pin. Such was his devotion in study. He had a very good memory and acute perception. He was able to recollect what he had studied in his childhood. His father brought him to Kazipet after completion of eleven years. He sent his son to Hyderabad for further studies. But he brought him back when he learnt that cholera was spread out in Hyderabad. He never sent his son again to Hyderabad for any further studies, as he felt that his son can continue studies at kazipet besides learning many other things from him.
