Syedi Jivanjee Bin Syedi dawood (Q.R.) Burhanpur

Date of Wafaat: 29 Shabanul Karim 1209H

Syedi Jivanjee (QR.) a person of conviction and devotion resided at Aurangabad. He was known for his piety and assisted Mumineen whenever they came for guidance or help.

Syedna Moayed Fideen (RAE) elevated him to the honoured position of Haddiyat. During the subjugation of Laeen Majdu a group of his followers visited Aurangabad with the devious intention to misguide Mumineen from the path of Emaan. It was due to Syedi Jivanjee's extraordinary efforts that the plot of Munafiqeen was thwarted. He had scholarly discussions with a number of them and had the mischief mongers humiliated.

After the sad demise of his wife Syedi Jivanjee (QR.) left for Ujjain and visited Syedna Moayed (RA). On the insistence of the Dai he married the niece of Syedna Moayed, Bug Bai who was the descendent from Bawa Mulla Khan Saheb (QR.). Allah Subhanahu granted him four sons including Syedna Mohammed Ezzuddin (RA) and Syedna Tayeb Zainuddin (RA.) and three daughters.

On his return to Ujjain from a visit to Burhanpur in 1184 H, Syedi Jivanjee (QR.) requested permission from the Dai to proceed to Aurangabad. He stayed there for four months.

One of His many Khidmat was procuring a Letter of Aman for Syedna Abdul Tayeb Zakiuddin (RA) from the Peshwa authorities in Pune. During the period of Syedna Yusuf Najmuddin (RA) he was sent for Dawat purpose to Jamnagar.

On learning the death of Syedi Jivanjee (QR.) in Burhanpur, Syedna Yusuf Najmuddin (RAE) was very much grieved and authored a Qasida in honour of Syedi Jivanjee (QR).
