Graves in the shrine

In the previous part of this post, I introduced the shrine of Syed Hussain Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat to you. You came across the miracle and a bit about the holy person. If you missed the post, I suggest you to read it here so that you can understand the reason behind the miracle more precisely.

You read that the live miracle is continuous since the thirteenth-century, when Shah Wilayat Sahab approached Amroha (A city in northern India) as a pious man to spread love, peace and humanity among the people here.

Earlier Amroha was known as Azizpur, which was renamed to Amroha by the saint only. Amroha is famous for mangoes and Rohu fish. When Shah Wilayat Sahab came into Azizpur (now called Amroha), considering the fact of Mangoes and Rohu fish, he renamed the city to Amroha. It’s because Amroha consist of two words- The Mango (Aam) and the Rohu fish. In this way, he found Aam-Rohu (Amroha) the most appropriate name for the city.

Throwing some light over the headline, Shah Wilayat Sahab was a pious saint who had brought a good change in the city. Another native saint, Nasuruddin Shah had a feeling of asking him to leave the city as there’s no need of his presence.

Nasuruddin Shah became anxious and sent a bowl full of water to the saint indicating him to leave as there were already many saints in the city.

As a reply, Shah Wilayat Sahab kept a rose in the bowl and sent it back to the native saint clearly showing that he will live like the rose in the city of Amroha. He indicated the love, peace and humanity, he did bring among the citizens of Amroha. 

The conversation, at that time took place in the form of such indications. It was easy for those saints to understand such notes.

Next, the native saint kept a Scorpion in the bowl and returned it to the holy man. Now, this was what led to the live miracle! This act was a curse to the holy saint that ‘Scorpions will crawl on your grave’ by the native saint.

In the reply, Shah Wilayat Sahab quoted, “Surely Scorpions will crawl on my grave, but they won’t cause any harm to my visitors”

The small conversation between the two saints became a live miracle by the grace of almighty God who bestowed his blessings over Shah Wilayat Sahab and has kept his words alive from over nine-centuries.

Another tale tells us that there was a wall of the Shah Wilayat Sahab which had the potential to move!! It was the only way by which the saint used to travel.. The wall is still present in the shrine but needless to say, it no more walks.

Miracle: Shrine where Scorpions can't bite | Scary Scorpions forget to bite in the Shrine of Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat (Amroha)

Scorpion crawling on hand at the shrine

What if I tell you that I know a place, or a shrine to be precise where scorpions can't bite! Definitely you're going to give a weird, amazed or both of these looks.

Yes, you really won't believe it and it's quite obvious.. No one will believe in such a story unless he comes through it by himself..

Well.. I am one of the uncountable witnesses of such an amazing story! Let me come to the point and tell you what exactly it is.

Amroha.. A district in the northern India in Uttar Pradesh is well known for its mangoes and annual procession of Muharram. One another thing it is known for is the Shrine of Syed Hussain Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat Naqvi where ‘any’ Scorpion cannot dare to bite you!

Well, you must be in doubt.. I won’t say I was in a doubt like you. That’s because I am from the same city. And I and the one I am talking about, Sharfuddin Shah Wilayat Sahab share the same family tree. So, I was preached about this fact in my childhood only. (It’s great fun to write about your own city or birthplace, isn’t it?)

The shrine of this holy man is itself a miracle live miracle in today’s world and puts a great challenge in front of science and technology. Now let’s throw some light over the questions and amusement running in your mind ;)

As I’ve mentioned the shrine is located in Amroha, a district in Uttar Pradesh. The miracle has amused all of those people who had a visit to the shrine and has kept its secret unveiled from over 900 years! The scorpions here keep crawling on the grave of the pious saint without causing any kind of harm to the people in the shrine. A large number of people come here and witness the miracle by making the scorpions crawl on their hands..

Things don’t end here! Let me tell you some even greater facts..

One common question might strike your mind. Are these scorpions different from the normal ones? Or they don’t bite just because they’re from a different breed? Exactly what people think on the first view on this miracle. Now disclosing the fact, I must inform you that you may also take your own scorpion to the shrine and see the miracle, it won’t bite!! It’s just the miracle of the shrine and the holy grave and nothing else. Or if you don’t own a scorpion (I know you won’t dare to have one) then just try taking the scorpion out from the shrine and see it will get you to the nearby hospital in the next few minutes!

Not just you can make the scorpions walk onto your hands or take your own scorpion to the shrine, but you can also let them accompany you to your home!! Just tell the guard out there, that you want that scorpion for half-an-hour or take it for a couple and the scorpion will accompany you for the next two hours! Of course without causing any, any kind of harm! Isn’t it just amazing?

The miracle was filmed by a program, Mano Ya Na Mano which was aired on Star One some years ago.

When asked, how the miracle is still alive and the reason behind it, people have nothing to tell but a small story that happened in thirteenth-century in the saint’s life-span only. The story looks true and digestible.
