This is a tribute to my teacher, my Shaykh and my mentor. May Allah raise their station to the highest in Jannah.
Early Life.
Pir Muhammad Karam Shah widely known as Zia-ul-Ummat (Luminary of the nation) was born on 1st July 1918 in Bhera district, Sargouda. After completing their secondary education and graduation from Islamic education in his home town, he went to study in Oriental college, Lahore. In 1943, he travelled to Moradabad in India. Here under the supervision of Maulana Naeem Uddin he studied the science of Hadith. His illustrious teacher awarded him the certificate to teach hadith, this is the highest qualification in traditional Madrassah’s. Maulana once praised his young student in these words “Today I am satisfied that I have handed over the trust to the right person“.
The young scholar returned home to Bhera with flying colours and had chosen as his vocation service to Islam. However his father Pir Muhammad Shah (may Allah bless him) urged his bright son to continue his education in Al-Azhar University, Egypt. As an obedient son he embarked on his journey to Egypt in 1951. Here he joined the postgraduate course in Islamic Shariah and Law.
