Marium Bi Amma was born in India, at Kajleshore town, Murtaza
Por estate, Akolah district on 2nd rajab 1302 Haj'ri according
to geog 18 of April 1885, on Saturday. She had 3 brothers and 1
sister. Her father’s name was Aziz-ud-din and mother's name was
Ayesha Bibi. Marium Bibi completed her studies in the Holy Quran
(i.e. Islamic studies). She had a deep relish in her worship.
Most of her time passed in contemplate and recluse. Her prayer
schedules were not affected even after being a house wife and
holding all her married life responsibilities. Her brother
Qutb-ud-din brought her back at his home after a few days of her
marriage.
She belonged to a family who respected the pious people without
any desire of worldly charms.

Marium Bibi was now staying in Kamti with Her brother Gulam
Mohiuddin who was working in Kamti. Her brother came to know
that a marvelous and a highly respected venerable had arrived at
Kamti. After admiring the qualities of the pious venerable one
day Gulam Mohiuddin Sahib requested to the respected venerable
and said,
”Sir! It will be my pleaser and honor, if you come and stay with
us for a few days and give us the honor of serving you”.
The respected venerable agreed to stay with them. One day when
all the members of the family were at his service, the venerable
said to Marium’s mother that “GOD has gifted you with two loving
sons Marium Bibi is one of them”.

The venerable addressed Marium Bibi;
“Daughter! The sun of wilayat (Saintliness) is rising from the
horizon of Nagpur. Go and light up your soul and body with it.
This is the time when the mental hospital of Nagpur is honored
by the presence of the lords of seven claims, Baba Tajuddin
Aulia (r.a.). Go in his service! Since it is written in your
fate.”
Marium Bibi immediately went to Nagpur’s mental hospital to meet
Baba Tajuddin (r.a.). As soon as Marium Bibi reached the mental
hospital, His Highness stood up from his place; He came near her
and said
“I was waiting for you from a long time.”
After telling this His Highness rend her bangles off and said;
“Come to Me every day” Top
As on the recommendation of His Highness, Her Highness Amma
Marium (r.a.) visited the mental hospital daily and used to
stand out side the main gate on a specific place. There her full
concentration and attention was towards His Highness (r.a.). She
was so deeply devoted that She altered her way of living.
A year passed away and during this period when His Highness (r.a.)
left the mental hospital on the 21 of September 1908 and headed
towards Shaker Dara (a city of India). After one month Her
Highness Amma Marium (r.a.) accompanied His Highness (r.a.) to
Waki. She resided in village Pathan Savange. Even their She
continued her devotion and presented her self in front of His
Highness (r.a.) who kept His caring, loving and humble sight on
her.
This time duration is also based on one year. After struggling
continuously for two years for a tough mystic exercise one day
His Highness (r.a.) took Her Highness Amma Marium (r.a.) on the
bank of Khandan River, A place of desolation and path of wild
animals. There His Highness (r.a.) ordered Her highness Amma
Marium (r.a.):
“Sit here! Don’t move unless I permit you”
Without any hesitation or fear she sat down, obeying His
Highness’s (r.a.) command and didn’t even think once about her
daily life requirements. After this His Highness (r.a.) came
back leaving Her Highness Amma Marium (r.a.).
Top
A week passed away the devotees and the disciples of His
Highness (r.a.) were very surprised and amazed because His
Highness (r.a.) had not eaten or drank any thing from the past
week. Then His Highness (r.a.) arrived on the scene and with a
loud voice stated calling;
“Lachan! Wakoreya!”
The farmer, Lachan Wakoreya came up to His Highness’s (r.a.)
service. Where His Majesty command him;
“Near your farm there is an Amma (Mother) residing. Take food
for Her and give your best ever service to Her.”
One should contemplate that after a week His Highness (r.a.) was
inquiring about Her Highness Amma Marium (r.a.). Immediately,
after this Lachan Wakoreya prepared some food and was all set to
search Her Highness Amma Marium (r.a.). After a long time of his
search he found Her Highness (r.a.) in a thickly dense jungle.
She was covered with a Chadar (a white plain cloth) her eyes
were closed and she was not moving. He called out Her Highness’s
(r.a.) name a couple of times but she didn’t reply. In the end
Wakoreya said;
“I have come here and brought food on His Highness’s (r.a.)
command”
After listening to the farmer Her Highness (r.a.) immediately
got up and took the food from him with a great reverence and ate
some morsels of it. People say when Wakoreya went to search Her
Highness, a couple of hours later His Highness (r.a.) asked for
food but ate his first morsel after a week. When Her Highness (r.a.)
finished Her food then the farmer instantly brought some water
from the nearby canal and requested Her with a very respectful
manner(i.e. with folded hands) and said;
“It is an order for me from His Highness (r.a.) that I should
look after you I know it is a tough job for me. Her Majesty it
will be my honor to take you to my farm where I have built a hut
for you.”
Her Highness (r.a.) agreed and went with Wakoreya to his farm.

Her Highness Amma Marium (r.a.) narrates that;
“The endeavor of era of prayers & mystic exercises was concluded
in a few days by the divine attention and kindness of His
Highness (r.a.) because I was a thin and weak woman. Therefore,
His Highness (r.a.) kept a special sight on me and swiftly
opened the door of saintliness for me then His Highness (r.a.)
behest me to stay near Him.”
Top
A particular place was appointed for Her Highness Amma Marium (r.a.)
in Waki and there one more lamp/candle lighted the other. Now
the benevolence of His Highness (r.a.) was also being spread by
Her Highness. Venerable Tajuddin (r.a.) always sent a thousand
of seekers to visit Amma Marium (r.a.) and those seekers always
returned with their wishes completed. Spectators observed that
without any worldly communication Her Highness Amma used to say
the same verses at her residence that His Highness (r.a.) had
already said at his Durbar (Royal court)
Often, His Highness (r.a.) used to visit Amma Marium (r.a.) and
would also take her in His royal coach for an excursion and
while returning Her Majesty would stay back at her residence.
Top
His Highness Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.) recommended his followers,
devotees and seekers that they should visit Her Majesty Amma
before visiting Him. Hence, it could be estimated that the
prestigious sight of His Highness (r.a.) was on the peak of
greatness. Evidence of this is that His Highness (r.a.) never
met his seekers who used to come to His Highness (r.a.) without
visiting Her Majesty Amma. People even noticed that His Highness
(r.a.) never denied Her Majesty Amma in any aspect.
When His Highness (r.a.) migrated to Waki He was accompanied by
Her Majesty Amma. Apparently by then Her Majesty Amma was a
miraculous saint. Top
His Highness (r.a.) with a high respect used to address Her
Majesty Amma by His mother’s name and would say “She is My
mother”. His Highness (r.a.) delivered a title to Her Majesty
Amma that was
“Brother Abdul rahim”
And then rarely He called Her with the same name. His Highness (r.a.)
also awarded Her Majesty Amma with the following titles:
Mera Aftab Abdul rahim (My Sun Slave of Merciful Allah)
Mera Mah-tab Abdul rahim (My Moon Slave of Merciful Allah)
And said "look at my Abdul rahim who is even after tavern
(divine wine of Allah) is saying “Hal Min-mazid-in (Give Me
More)” and is still in her consciousness.

One day His Highness (r.a.) came to Her Majesty Amma and said;
“Take your comb and your key”
She took veil from this materialistic world on the 27th of
Shawal 1337 Haj’ri and according to the geog it was 25th of
July, 1919, Friday in the city of Shakardara. She departed this
materialistic world at the age of 35 and by geog calendar she
was 34 years old. Top
The day of Urs-e-mubarak (i.e. the annual celebration in the
memory of departed) is celebrated in a very splendid manner. The
arrangement of Urs-e-mubarak is done from Taj Abaadh.
On the third day of Urs-e-mubarak the qawali (mystic chorus)
began. The Tomb of Her Highness Amma Sahiba (r.a.) was to be
seen in tremor and the people were in a vanity that the shrine
of Amma Sahiba (r.a.) would collapse.
His Excellency Hazrat Baba Yusuf Shah Taji (r.a.) narrates that
for the requiem’s (prayers for the departed) arrangement of Her
Highness (r.a.) was in compliance order of Bawa Tajuddin (r.a.)
that the first Urs-e–mubarak should take place under the special
obligation care of Baba Yusuf Shah Taji. Countless devotees of
Amma Sahiba (r.a.) were present on the Urs-e-mubarak. The
gathering of spiritual music was on its peak and the qawals were
reciting:
“Phir Mein Kyon Na Itraon Sakhi Re Muri Chunariya Baba Ne rang
Di”
It means:
O’ My companions, why I should not coquettishly bashful; my fly
flapper has been dyed by Baba”
Suddenly, the Shrine of Amma Sahiba (r.a.) came to be enraptured
the crowd present there was afraid, astonished and amazed. Then
Baba Yusuf Shah Taji ordered that all the four corners of the
Shrine should be covered with a chadar (a plain cloth) and said
“cover the Tomb with Bawa Tajuddin’s jubbah (dress of a saint)
which is given to me by His Highness (r.a.). After putting the
jubbah (dress of a saint) on the tomb, the state of the shrine
changed and was back to normal. This was a very popular incident
that occurred at Her Highness shrine.

Syed Ziya-ul-Haq states, “I was a sub-inspector in C.P, India.
When I used to present my self in the Durbar (court) of His
Highness (r.a.), I also had the opportunity to see Her Majesty
(r.a.) for the first time. I saw Her sitting and wearing a
Doshala (a cloth which is hung around the neck and on the
shoulders which is about 2 to 3 meters in length) and strings of
flowers around Her neck. Abdul Aziz, Alice Nana Miyan was with
me. Her Majesty (r.a.) gave one string of flowers to Abdul Aziz.
He with respect and appreciation accepted the string, kissed it
and wrapped it in his handkerchief kept in his pocket. The other
string was given to me by Her Highness, but I threw it on the
ground. I was an illiterate to understand the value of that
auspicious string.
In the mean time Her Majesty (r.a.) was inquiring about the
health and other matters with Abdul Aziz. I was looking and
wondering, how could a young woman talk about worldly matter
when people consider Her as a Saint and respect Her? All of a
Sudden Her Majesty (r.a.) gave me a look and river of tears
started dripping down on the ground making it a sea of tears. My
condition at that moment was completely changed I was pale,
going through a chain of hiccups and shivering. Looking at my
condition Abdul Aziz convey that he is a sub-inspector and is an
illiterate in the matter of Saints, please pardon him.
His tears stopped and his condition was back to normal when Her
Majesty (r.a.) looked at him again. Abdul Aziz then seek Her
Majesty’s (r.a.) permission to leave. Her Majesty (r.a.)
permitted him to go with well wishes and blessing even I
departed with Abdul Aziz but my heart was not willing to leave,
Abdul Aziz told me that now Her Majesty (r.a.) will respite and
will come out in the evening but still I was not willing to
leave. Hence I went and stood out side the residents of Her
Majesty (r.a.). The day passed and it was evening, Her Majesty
(r.a.) came out with a maid and said
“Deewane nahi ho jate”
“Don’t go lunatic”
And headed towards the jungle. After this my condition was back
to normal. Since then I frequently visited the
Durbar-e-Taj-ul-Aulai (Royal court of Tajuddin Aulia) and in the
honor of Her Majesty (r.a.).
Top
One day I was warned from the Superintendent of police that I
could be fired from my service. I visited His Highness’s (r.a.)
Durbar were a large audience was present. I was standing at the
back of His Highness (r.a.) then
I asked Him; “should I appeal?”
His Highness (r.a.) replied; “Hmm… (Yes)”
I asked Him again; “will it be accepted?”
His Highness (r.a.) replied; “Hmm.... (Yes)”
After this I went to Her Highness Amma Sahiba’s (r.a.) residence
where She explained me by Her divine Knowledge the following;
“rail ke takhta ki sobath zur zur karte.
Pach-chamri jate appeal karte.
Sahib ki ankhon se ankhiyan lara-a khade rahte
Wo kuch kehna tu nahin mante
Subha nahin tu sham appeal manzur ho jata”
Meaning of above Phrase;
“You should pretend as a hard iron train and should be stubborn
in your activity. Should appeal at Pach-Chamri (name of a
place). Should have spoke to officer eye in eye. What ever he
says, just disagree. If not in morning then in evening it would
have been accepted.”
I reached Pach-chamri and appealed to the inspector. In the
morning I had to appear and the officer said; “we can’t do
anything. But you are young and we can only do for you this that
we can give you the job of head constable instead of your
appeal. So do you agree with this decision?”
I replied, "no”
Then the officer said; “you should look into the matter yourself
and then answer to us”
I replied; “yes I have considered I will not accept your
agreement”.
My officer got irritated and said” we disapprove your appeal”
I was aghast; I started to think badly about His Highness (r.a.)
and Her Highness (r.a.) because they indicated that it is in my
fortune that my appeal would be accepted. Her Highness (r.a.)
clearly mentioned that if the officer would say something then
you should oppose. If I had not resisted today on their command
then I could have easily agreed for the post of head constable
and after some days I would have promoted to the post of
inspector. He was tensed up regarding on going matter and walked
out of the room.
The near ones started inquiring about it and I revealed them the
whole story. Everyone said you were wrong on your path; you
didn’t obey your officer. Now there was no option left for me
and hence I bought the railway ticket and then searched for a
nice place in the train the station work boy was walking in
front of me and then suddenly a police officer kept his hand on
my shoulder and said,
“Is your name ZIYA-UL-HAQ?
I replied, “Yes”
Police officer, “You don’t travel, come with me”
I got worried that now I will be charged with a case for my
stubbornness.
I said, “I have already purchased the ticket and therefore I
have to leave”
Police officer, “I am sorry I am on an order, we can return the
ticket
You will have to go with the police mail lorry to Mr. Pach meri
helplessly I had to return back the ticket and had to go with
him to the office and when I reached there my friend
congratulated me. When I asked him what Is the matter so he
replied, “I don’t know anything but only that after you left 3
letters were typed and were sent to the officer for approving
signature but they all were rejected and were torn and thrown.
In the end order was to call ZIYA-UL-HAQ; through all this we
concluded that maybe the officer changed his mind so you go and
meet him. This time don’t argue and don’t be in a stubborn
state.
When I entered in the room greeted the officer and the officer
said, “Stubborn guy, we have given you your job back”. I thanked
and greeted him and walked out of the room. In the evening in my
mind the precious words of Her Highness (r.a.) were oscillating
that'
“IF NOT IN THE MORNING THEN IN EVENING”

About twenty years ago on Her Royal Majesty Amma
Marium Taji’s ra annual death anniversary (Urs Mubarak) after
the Kul Sharif, while Kashana –E- Miskeen was staying in Tajabad
Sharif , he received a telegram unexpectedly from his younger
brother stating that their mothers health was very serious and
he should return as soon as possible. His mother resided in a
village called Aabai (Partak), Sikandrabad – Andra Pradesh.
Unlike present times, it was uncommon to have telephones or any
other mode of fast communication in India at that time. It was
almost impossible despite his endless efforts to even get a
train ticket to go to the village. Next day at 3:30 pm Kashana
–E- Miskeen visited His Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin’s ra
royal shrine and put forward a request about his mother’s health
and an ease in his travel to the village. Hence by the blessings
of His Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin ra, Kashana –E- Miskeen
obtained a reservation in GI DI Express on the same day through
V.I.P quota. His journey passed with tension and stress but he
kept his faith in Allah(s.w) and His Royal Majesty ra and Her
Royal Majesty ra. On arriving home, he was informed his
mother was admitted in the hospital as she was unconscious since
four days and doctors had said that nothing could be done.
Everyone was waiting for him with desperation as they wanted him
to take his mother to All India Medical Institute of New Delhi.
He then went home and took the holy water of Kul Sharif of Her
Royal Majesty Amma Sahiba ra and managed to put a few drops
in his mother’s mouth and by the grace of Allah (S.W) , sadqa of
Propohet Mohommad (S.A.W.S),and by the blessings of His Royal
Majesty ra and Her Royal Majesty ra within two minutes his
mother was conscious and asked him about his journey. Next day
the doctor examined her and confirmed that her health was
stable. The same evening she was discharged from the hospital
and they all thanked Allah (S.W) and brought her back home. This
miraculous incident became widely popular and people started
going to his house to take the holy water of Her Royal Majesty
Amma Marium Taji’s ra Kul Sharif and he often told these
people; "The benevolence of Her Royal Majesty Amma Marium Taji ra
is not limited to Kamti or Nagpur but is spread all over
widely." Top
Mrs. Rekha and her husband Sumashwar Choray
Sakin Tay from Khari village revealed that they could not
conceive for a very long time after their marriage and were
burdened to listen to all sorts of taunting comments of their
family and close ones. Mrs. Rekha and her husband did full
medical check up and took medication for a long time but all
went in vain. All other types of alternative healing methods
like mantars, jhaad –phook also didn't work. Then one fine day a
pious person (Buzurg) advised them to pay a visit to His Royal
Majesty Baba Tajuddin’s raroyal court on the 26th in Nagpur
and to Her Royal Majesty Amma Marium Taji’s ra Royal Court on
the 27th in Kamti. There they saw that people were coming with
full devotion and requesting the great saints with full devotion
and on completion of their wishes and desires they were thanking
Them ra. Mrs. Rekha started requesting and couldn't control
her emotions and started crying uncontrollably. She made all her
requests while weeping and then returned. While coming back she
felt that there was no more sadness that surrounded her. After a
month she started feeling that her request was granted. By the
blessings of His Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin ra and Her Royal
Majesty Amma Marium Taji’s ra that lucky day of becoming a
mother came into her life. She became a true devotee of His
Royal Majety ra and Her Royal Majesty ra and her head only
bowed with faith on Their ra doors as They ra became her
prayers and religion. Top
Mohammed Iqbal from Nagpur was a devotee of His
Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin ra from his college days and
often visited His Royal Majesty’s ra holy shrine. In the year
1980 Mohammed Iqbal had to suddenly face a lot of problems as he
was fired from his job and his condition became really
miserable. His friends and relatives turned their backs on him
and he could only see darkness everywhere. Only one place came
in his mind for shelter and that was The Royal Court of His
Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin ra. Since childhood he liked
serving mankind, so he started serving and helping the devotees
and visitors of the Royal Shrine of His Royal Majesty Baba
Tajuddin ra. All the work that he did in The Royal Court of
His Royal Majesty ra gave him inner and outer peace. For all
these efforts and servings His Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin ra
rewarded him with the love and devotion of Her Royal Majesty
Amma Marium Taji ra in his heart. He started visiting the
Royal Shrine of Her Royal Majesty Amma Marium Taji’s ra, and
then came a time when he started spending his days and nights in
Her Royal Majesty’sra Royal Court. Slowly and steadily his
life changed tremendously. In the year 1983, he got a very good
job in District Board in Nagpur and his life was filled with
peace and happiness. This was the blessing of His Royal Majesty
ra and Her Royal Majesty ra.
"MAYUS TERE DAR SE SAWALI NAHIN JATE,

from many diseases. Her major suffering was headaches. They did
all possible medical tests including CT Scan & Thyroid tests but
all the reports reported her to be normal. They visited many
doctors, hakims in these six years but nothing worked. All this
really disheartened and frustrated them and hence they decided
not to visit any more doctors. Sikandar Khan’s father used to
visit the Royal Shrine of His Royal Majesty Baba Tajuddin ra
so he decided to take his wife to Tajabad Sharif for a
visit (hazry). This was a blissful miracle of His Royal Majesty
Baba Tajuddin ra that it was coming in their hearts that they

mouth started bleeding. He consulted a veterinarian and tried
every possible remedy to stop the bleeding which continued for
almost 48 hours. The buffalo's condition was worsening and hence

stood at a place where at present shops exist. Suddenly, he
heard a voice saying "Put the buffalo's face upwards". The

poured on the buffalo. He did so and after just 15 minutes the
buffalo stood up and the bleeding also stopped. After one hour
he took the buffalo back home. Everybody was very happy and
hence everybody came to know about this wonderful miracle of Her
Royal Majesty Amma Marium Taji ra .After this miraculous
incident the amount of devotees increased tremendously.
