Hazrath Syed Shah Sarwar Biabani (R.A.) was a lucky man as he had very loving father. His father loved him very much. Once Hazrath S.S. Sarwar Biabani (R.A.) was taken to Pakhal (Lake) by his maternal uncle Hazrath Mir Turab Ali Saheb, who was a Thahsildar at Narsampet Taaluqa. He wanted to see the beautiful lake of Pakhal and the flora and fauna of nature. His father felt very much the absence of his son. He worried a lot and sent a messenger to bring him back. Another time, Hazrath Sarwar Biabani fell ill with tonsillitis in his uncle’s residence. His father could not bear the thought of his son’s illness. He prostrated before Allah (Sajda) and wept bitterly. He prayed to Allah that his son would regain his health and he would be blessed with long life. He uttered, ‘How a young man dies when his old father is alive.’ He became unconscious then. When he came to consciousness, he found his son healthy. His son was alright on the strength of his father’s blessings and the grace of Allah. His father died six months after the incident had occurred. He was so affectionate; he used to share his meal with his son from one plate only. He built a tiles house for his beloved son, which is present now. He himself worked to construct it by lifting wooden beams. Hazrath Sarwar Biabani respected his father and the spiritual Master (Murshid). He loved him very dearly. His father declared him as his successor and shouldered the responsibility of Qazaat when Hazrath Sarwar Biabani (R.A.) was only (16) years old. He had endowed his son with the ways of knowledge (Maarifat) and blessed him sainthood before he died. Mohammad Khan Saheb and Hazrath Sarwar’s aunt said that Hazrath Afzal Biabani prophesied ‘Allah might bless my son like me at the age of forty, as he have been in my path.’ It was said that after the death of his father, he was grief stricken one day in his dream his father said, “ I am ever with you, I have not gone any where”. He also hugged him very affectionately.
