شاہ فخر عالم بھاگلپوری
دینی اور علمی حلقوں میں شاہ فخر عالم بھاگلپوری کی وفات کی خبر بڑے رنج و افسوس کے ساتھ سنی جائے گی، ان کے نامور بزرگ سید ظہیرالدین ۱۲۷۹ء میں دہلی آئے اور حضرت نظام الدین اولیاء کے حلقۂ ادارت میں داخل ہوئے، انھوں نے حضرت بہاء الدین زکریا ملتانیؒ کے پوتے مخدوم رکن الدین رکن عالمؒ سے بھی اکتساب فیض کیا، اس طرح اس خاندان میں چشتی اور سہروردی دونوں نسبتیں جمع ہوگئیں، بعد کو یہ خاندان دہلی سے بہار آگیا، اور حضرت سید علی محمد (ڈمڑیا بابا) نے بھاگلپور میں قیام فرمایا، اس وقت سے یہ لوگ یہیں آباد ہیں، اور ان کی خانقاہ ڈمریا بابا ان کے نام سے موسوم ہے، شاہ فخر عالم مرحوم اسی خانقاہ کے سجادہ نشین تھے، وہ دینی مشاغل کے ساتھ علمی مذاق بھی رکھتے تھے، ان کا کتب خانہ ان کے علمی ذوق کا شاہد ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ سے دعا ہے کہ وہ ان کو اپنی عنایتوں اور رحمتوں سے شاد کام کرے، اور ان کے جانشین سید شاہ شرف عالم ندوی کو اپنے بزرگوں کے نقشِ قدم پر چلنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے۔
