Shah Adul Latif Bhittai, Halakandi and his contemporaries of Halakandi
تلخیص
Halakandi (Old Hala) is the ancestral abode of forefathers of
Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (1689-1752), where his great grandfather Syed
Mir Ali Shah was born and raised. Also, various other renowned Sufi
saints and scholars including Makhdoom Ahmed Bhatti (d. 1527),
Makhdoom Arabi Dayano (d.1572), Makhdoom Sarwar Nooh (1506-
1590) et al. were born and lived in this town. (Qani, 1989, 377-391)
According to Dr N.A. Baloch, “Shah Latif, at his own behest,
started his meaningful peregrinations and meetings from the same
habitats and location where he had already been in the past along with
his father. One of these journeys, on the northern side of the historic
town of Old Hala (Halakandi) was near to Kotri which was first abode of
Syeds. It was centre of scholars and Sufi saints.” (Dr Baloch, 2010, p 60).
In this essay, an attempt is made to profile his three
contemporaries: 1) Makhdoom Ibrahim Bhatti (1664-1700), renowned
for writing religious treatise in Sindhi in verse, as was the tradition
during that time, 2) Makhdoom Abdul Raoof Bhatti (1682-1752), who
was famous for writing Malood (Songs for the Prophet PBUH) and 3.
Maee Thoriyani, locally known as pious and saint lady.
