Mir Syed Mohammad Hussain Simnani is arguably one of the most celebrated Syeds coming from Iran and Central Asia in Medieval period who blessed Kashmir and accelerated the process of Islamisation of Kashmir. Mir Syed Hussain Simnani came to the Valley of Kashmir from a place called “Simnan” in Iran. He traces his genealogy to the Prophet of Islam (Salallahu alaihi wasalam) through his grandson Syeduna Imam Hussain (radiallahu tala anhu), he being 16th in direct descent from Hazrat Ali (Karam Allah Wajhu). He was the cousin of Ameer e Kabeer Mir Syed Ali Hamdani and younger brother of Syed Taj ud Din Hamdani (Nowhatta Srinagar). Mir Syed Ali Hamdani had deputed Syed Hussain Simnani and Syed Taj ud Din Hamdani to take stock of the situation in Kashmir in the reign of Sultan Shahab ud din. So both of them entered the Valley and began to preach. Sultan Shahab ud din became a follower of Syed Hussain Simnani and because of the King’s concurrence, the Shah of Hamdan reached Kashmir with a large following. The King and heir apparent, Qutub ud din received him warmly.
Travelling in Kashmir Valley while spreading Islam, Mir Syed Hussain Simnani came to Kulgam and liked a spot on a cliff overlooking the river Veshaw. He made Kulgam his permanent abode and got engaged in a philanthropic mission there. Kulgam was earlier known as “Shampora” which was later on renamed as Kulgam by him. In the transformation of Kashmir into a new phase of its civilization march from Buddhist and Hinduised moorings to an Islamic one, the role of Syed Simnan Sahab can’t be undermined. Salar Sanz- Father of greatest Sufi Saint of Kashmir, Sheikh ul Alam Sheikh Noor ud Din Noorani Wali e Kashmiri had embraced Islam at the hands of Syed Hussain Simnani and was renamed Salar ud din. Even his marriage with ‘Sidrah’ (Alamdar e Kashmir’s mother) also took place because of the efforts of Syed Simnan. Alamdar e Mulk e Kashmir calls Mir Syed Hussain Simnani as the spiritual guide of his father. Mir Syed Hussain Simnani holds the title of Governor e Mulk e Kashmir. Chroniclers have also mentioned him as Syed u Sadaat (Head of all the heads of Kashmir).
Syed Hussain Simnani left on 11th Shaban 792 A.H and was buried at the very spot which he had found fascinating. Syed Meer Hyder Mubarak e Rehmani is also buried at the same place besides Syed Simnan Sahab. The family of Syed u Sadaat is buried in a nearby Village called “Amun” in Kulgam.
Sufism in Kashmir has roots dating back to Shahi Hamdan, Shahi Simnan and followers of other great orders (Silsilahs) who were in general orthodox in their outlook, adhering to Islamic laws and practices. But in spite of their attempts to maintain high Islamic ideals, Sufism in Kashmir, as elsewhere, did in the end compromise with many of the traditional practices. Popular Islam in Kashmir thus became diluted with foreign elements, and this character it has retained until today. Some Shaitans, in the name of Awliya e Kamleen, even used Sufism as a tool to give a way out to their impious acts. Shame on the faces of such people- those fake peers, their devilish and unislamic acts and their self-made orders (Silsilahs), who in the disguise of Sufism are making fool of the people and profaning it all because of their shaitanic acts.
May Almighty Allah guide us all to the straight path, the path that was enlightened by Ameer e Kabeer Mir Syed Ali Hamdani and his followers, Mir Syed Mohammad Hussain Simnani in particular (Ameen)
