Fasting for the 21 Days of Ramadan
As it was the sacred month of Ramadan and being an inborn saint of Allah Almight, it is reported, that he did not accept mother feed till the appearance of ‘Shawwal’ moon. It was the first sign of his being a true adorer of Allah Almighty.

After spending some time in his service, he went to Rawalpindi. He stayed there for some time on Kahsmir Road. Then, he intended to visit the shrine of Peer Meher Ali Shah (R.A). During his visit there, he got the spiritual insights about all those predictions of Peer Meher Ali Shah (R.A) that he made to Peer Sahib earlier while accompanying him in his spiritual visits. Later, he went to Amritsar. It was a time when he was leading a life of “Majzoobiyat” (absorbed in the Divine Love and not attentive to material world). While visiting Lahore, he visited the shrine of Hazrat Data Gunj Bakhsh Ali Hajveri (R.A) and Shah Muhammad Ghaus Lahori (R.A). Eventually, he arrived Dhodha and from Dhodha to a small village of Chakwal named Mureed where his shrine is located now.
