Biography

Haji Mohammad Zainuddin during the reign of Raghuji Bapusaheb Bhonsle III, migrated to Nagpur from Tijara in 1818 as a noble man. At that time, Nagpur was the princely state. In Nagpur, his relative had a Risala (mounted troop) of 100 horse riders with Naqqara and Nishān (Insignia).[1]

'Syed Abdul Ali Adil Nagpuri' narrated a Qat'a (a form of poetry) on his appointment as Faujdar in 1266AH/1849AD in the court of Nagpur state.[2]

محب کرم گستر حا ل من

ترا خد مت نو مبا رک بود

شود سبز گلزار اقبا ل تو

ز آ ب عنا یا ت رب صمد

بود عمر توجاودان مثل خضر

ز الطا ف عا م خد ا ئ احد

تو آں کارکن از سر بخردی

کہکرد ند راضی ہمہ نیک وبد

پے سال این جشن فرحت فرز

نمودم بفکر رسا جد و کد

دلم گفت بی ریب سا ل مراد

ترا فوجداری مبا رک شود

Family history

He was present in Tijara and hence remained alive when his father Syed Mohammad Ashraf was assassinated (Shaheed) in 1814 by Meo Community at Sakras. It was a time when Mughals were becoming weak and there was almost anarchy and lawlessness all over the state. The government was weakened by successive wars, agrarian crises fueling local revolts, the growth of religious intolerance and British colonialism. His family lived nearly 500 years in Sakras (now a town in Ferozepur Jhirka) before the demise of his father. His other family members were of the famous nobility from the region of Mewat, many members had a long tradition of scholarship and military history. After the loss of Syed Mohammad Ashraf, the family of Haji Mohammad Zainuddin was shifted to Tijara, where other family relatives were living.

Qazi Mir Imdad Ali was his brother, who was also Military officer during the Bhonsle Dynasty. Mufti Yaqinuddin son of Mufti Imamuddin, and the brother-in-law of Mohammad Zainuddin (actually son-in-law of his uncle Syed Mohammad Shamsuddin) was a renowned scholar and Mufti of Rewari. Being Mufti of the city, he issued Fatwa against the British forces and to support the forces of Rao Tula Ram of Rewari. In consequent to his Fatwa, Muslims of Rewari and nearby villages fought against British invasion and supported with heart and soul the small force of Rao Tula Ram. Many got martyrdom in the fight so called the 'Fight at Narnaul'. After the defeat of Rao Tula Ram on 16 November 1857, Mufti Yaqinuddin and his brother-in-law Abdur Rahman (alias Nabi Baksh) were hanged after brought from Tijara to Delhi. His brother Mufti Nizamuddin was arrested from Rewari and was also hanged in Delhi.

Haji Mohammad Zainuddin was married to Zarifun Nisan (daughter of Fakhruddin ibn Moizuddin) but had no issues. Zainuddin’s father in law Fakhruddin and maternal grandfather Amiruddin were real brothers.

The son of Fakhruddin, Ghulam Mustafa was employed with a good post at Nagpur. He built a beautiful Haveli at Tijara and went for Hajj in 1264 AH / 1847 AD. After Hajj, he remained in Tijara and died on 18 Moharram 1284 AH / 1867 AD. He had two sons Abdul Majeed and Bayazuddin and one daughter Jamila Begum.
