**Pir Meher Ali Shah** ([Punjabi](/source/Punjabi_language): پیر مہر علی شاہ, pronounced [\[piɾ mɛɦəɾ əli ʃaːɦ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Punjabi); 14 April 1859 – May 1937) was a [Punjabi Muslim](/source/Punjabi_Muslims) [Sufi](/source/Sufi) scholar and mystic poet from [Punjab](/source/Punjab_Province_(British_India)), [British India](/source/British_India) (present-day [Pakistan](/source/Pakistan)). Belonging to the [Chishti order](/source/Chishti_Order), he is known as a [Hanafi](/source/Hanafi) scholar who led the anti-[Ahmadiyya](/source/Ahmadiyya) movement. He composed poetry in [Punjabi](/source/Punjabi_language), and wrote several books in both [Urdu](/source/Urdu_literature) and [Persian](/source/Persian_literature), most notably *Saif-e-Chishtiyai* ("The Sword of the Chishti Order"), a polemical work criticizing the Ahmadiyya movement of [Mirza Ghulam Ahmad](/source/Mirza_Ghulam_Ahmad).[1][2]

Shah was a descendant, from his father Nazar Din Shah's side, of [Abdul Qadir Jilani](/source/Abdul_Qadir_Jilani) in the 25th generation, and of the [Islamic prophet](/source/Islamic_prophet) [Muhammad](/source/Muhammad) through [Hassan ibn Ali](/source/Hasan_ibn_Ali) in the 38th generation.[3]

## Early life and education

Shah received his early religious education at a [khanqah](/source/Khanqah) (school at a mausoleum) and was attended classes in Urdu and Persian at the local [madressah.](/source/Madrasa)[4] After completing his education at Angah at the age of 15, he decided to continue further studies in the [United Provinces](/source/United_Provinces_(1937%E2%80%931950)) (U.P.) of British India, in present day [Uttar Pradesh](/source/Uttar_Pradesh). He therefore set out for higher education in different parts of India such as [Lucknow](/source/Lucknow), [Rampur](/source/Rampur%2C_Uttar_Pradesh), [Kanpur](/source/Kanpur), [Aligarh](/source/Aligarh), Bhui, and [Saharanpur](/source/Saharanpur), which were the then known major centers of Islamic religious education. His stay at Aligarh at the madrasah of Lutfullah of Aligarh was for two and a half years.[5]

### Historic mosque's construction

In the old city of [Rawalpindi](/source/Rawalpindi), a historic [Mughal](/source/Mughal_architecture) style mosque (Markazi Jamia Masjid) was built in 1903 as a symbol of Muslim unity with donations by Rawalpindi's Muslim community. This mosque was completed in two years and was inaugurated by the Sufi saint of [Golra Sharif](/source/Golra_Sharif), Pir Meher Ali Shah along with the deposed king of [Afghanistan](/source/Afghanistan) [Ayub Khan](/source/Ayub_Khan_(Emir_of_Afghanistan)) who was living in Rawalpindi at the time.[6]

Prominent Muslim figures of the [Pakistan Movement](/source/Pakistan_Movement) such as Maulana [Zafar Ali Khan](/source/Zafar_Ali_Khan), [Attaullah Shah Bukhari](/source/Attaullah_Shah_Bukhari) and Maulana [Anwar Shah Kashmiri](/source/Anwar_Shah_Kashmiri) later led prayers at this historic mosque, when they visited it.[6]

## Religious beliefs

### Sufism

Shah was a disciple and Khalifa of Khawaja Shams-ud-din Sialvi of [Sial Sharif](/source/Sial_Sharif) in the Silsila-e-Chishtia Nizamiyah.[7][8] His biography *Meher-e-Muneer* records that he was also made a [Khalifa](/source/Tariqa) by [Haji Imdadullah](/source/Imdadullah_Muhajir_Makki), when he visited the latter in [Mecca](/source/Mecca).

#### Ibn Arabi

Shah was a supporter of [Ibn Arabi](/source/Ibn_Arabi)'s ideology of [Wahdat-ul-Wujood](/source/Sufi_metaphysics) but he made a distinction between the creation and the creator (as did Ibn Arabi).[9] He also wrote explaining the "Unity of Being" doctrine of [Ibn Arabi](/source/Ibn_Arabi).

Like his comrade [Qazi Mian Muhammad Amjad](/source/Qazi_Mian_Muhammad_Amjad), he was an authority on [Ibn Arabi](/source/Ibn_Arabi) and his 37-volume work *[The Meccan Illuminations (Al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya)](/source/Ibn_Arabi#Works)*.

In 1933, Shah was absorbed in his meditation and mystic trances. That year the philosopher [Muhammad Iqbal](/source/Muhammad_Iqbal) had to give a lecture at Cambridge University on Ibn Arabi's concept of Space and Time. He wrote a letter to the Shah stating that now there was nobody in all of [Hindustan](/source/Hindustan) whom he could consult in this matter, and requesting him to tell about Ibn Arabi's work. The Shah however, due to his meditation and bad health, could not reply.[10]

### Shi'as

Among his lesser-known yet significant works is *Tasfiah Mabain Sunni wa Shi'ah* ("Clarification Between Sunni and Shia"), a theological treatise composed in Persian. In this work, Shah sought to delineate the doctrinal distinctions between the Sunni and [Shia](/source/Shia_Islam) traditions while maintaining a scholarly tone that aimed to reduce sectarian animosity.[11] Though he strongly refuted Shia theological positions—particularly those concerning the [Imamate](/source/Imamate) and the early Caliphs—his criticism was framed as part of an intellectual and religious dialogue rather than a hostile polemic.[12]

## Death and legacy

In the early part of the month of Safar 1356-A.H (April 1937), he had an attack of cold, which soon developed into typhoid fever, which lasted for several days. His condition grew worse during the last days of Safar. On the morning of 29 Safar (11 May 1937), the pulse became irregular and the body temperature also underwent sudden changes. Just before the arrival of the final irrevocable moment, he pronounced the words “[Allah](/source/Allah)” from the deepest recesses of his heart in a manner which sent a shudder throughout his body from head to foot, and the reverberation of which was felt by every one who happened to touch the body. The next moment, he repeated the word “Allah” a second time and then turned his head towards the [Qibla](/source/Qibla), thus signaling that the end had finally come.[13]

His three-day [Urs](/source/Urs) (annual death anniversary) is held every year from 27th to 29th [Safar](/source/Safar). Thousands of devotees come from all over Pakistan to visit the tomb of this early twentieth century Punjabi mystic [sufi](/source/Sufi) poet, Pir Meher Ali Shah.[14]
