I,Syed Shah Gholam Mustafa Hazrat Al-Quadri Al Hasani Al Husaini Al Jjilani Al Baghdadi of midnapore by birth say that my young pious son Syed Shah Zalal Murshed Al-Quadri, who is the part and parcel of my heart and light of my eyes, is the youngest son of all my issues in age but in knowledge,prudence,devotion and straight forwardness is the best of all and superior to his contemporaries. From his childhood he has been trained in prayer of Allah and has been an obedient pious servant of Allah and ardent devotee of the Prophet. He has confined himself to asceticism and has no concern with anything except Allah.He has given full attention to purification of heart,as it is such a part of body which when is sound,the whole body is sound.He has devoted himself to prayers and religious duties according to the tradition of Quaderia saints and sufis and took so much pains to have fear of Allah in his heart to walk on the path of piety of devotion that his piousness become known to all. He has passed through the different stages of knowledge and Wisdom (Marefat and Suluk)and raised to the high position of guidance.Thus he reached the rank of a wali (Saint)and his heart filled with love of Allah.For this I am indebted to Allah.
When I noticed his devotion,faithfulness and prudence,found him pious in all respects and was hopeful that he would do good, I selected him from among my sons to be my heir(Waris), appointed him my Sajjada Nashin, Successor,Vicegerent and graned him my traditional prayer carpet (Sajjada)according to the command of Allah,permission of the prophet (Peace be upon him)and the consent of Syedona Hazrat Ghausul Azam.I set him in my place and made him the Sajjadanashin of the Khankah Sharif Quaderi Mehria of Midnapore,Darbar Sharif Quaderia olf Calcutta and Khankah Sharif of Pyardanga of Midnapoe.I gave him permission to take oath of allegiance(Baiyat) according to the tradition of Quaderia Razzaqia, Mehria Murshedia orders and also the three remaining orders of Chistia,Suharwardia and Naqshbandia.I dressed him in luminous robe (Khirqa-e-Noorani).Thus only he is my heir and he alone is fully authorised (Majaz)from me and my successor and Sajjada Nashin and authorised to perform all rites on my behalf.
I announced it in the gatherings of several Annual Urs Sharif and in other conferences before large masses so that all must know that this youngest son of mine is my successor and they must be aware of his qualities of mind and soul and also make them fully aware about imamat (Leadership).It is for this that he must remain among them as a man ofauthority(Saheb –e-Amar)and show them the right path.All my disciples,devotees and believers must take my youngest son in my place and no one has right to dispute in this matter.I handed over to him the library which is in Darbar Sharif.He is the sole owner of this library and he has every right to to take possession of and to use it as I do.I therefore command him to fear from Allah ,to pay heed to his words and to surrender himself fully to Him, to follow the sayings and teachings of our prophet Syedona Hazrat Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and to act upon the traditions of Syedona Hazrat Ghausul Kaunain.In the last,I pray that all praises are for the lord of universe ,regards are for the last holy prophet who is the king of all prophets and his pious Ahle Bait and Ashab and Ghausul Azam who is the Ghaus of earth and sky.

I do hereby will that you will conduct my Namaz-e-Janaza (Funeral prayer for me which is to be prayed at the the time when I shall pass away from this mortal world to the immortal world) because you are my Janeshin and Gaddinashin.(Part and parcel of my spiritual heart beat).
I do hereby will that you will sit in the Hujra Sharif (Special room of Syedona Aala Huzur Pak)of Midnapore Khankah Sharif where I sit.You will sit in the Gaddi Pak( Our raditional prayer carpet)because you are my Gaddinashin.
I do hereby will that government revenues and taxes of Khankah Sharif Midnapore,Khankah Sharif Pyardanga and the salary of Khadem (attendant) and fuel for illuminating the Mazar Sharif shall be exclusively borne and paid by you.
I do hereby will that you will celebrate and organize the following three Urs Sharifs viz Yazdahum Sharif,(Gyarvin Sharif)of His Holiness Hazrat Syedona Ghausul Azam,the Urs Sharif of Aala Huzur Pak on 16th Muharram and the Urs Sharif of Aala Huzur Pak on 6th Falgun at Khankah Sharif Midnapore every year with great pomp ,grandeur enthusiasm and importance.
I do hereby will that you will obey,observe and follow this precious wasiyatnama (Will)and thus you will please the Almighty Allah,the holy prophet Syedona Hazrat Mohammad (Peace be upon him),Syedona Hazrat Ghausul Azam (R.A.) and me so that you may gain peace and prosperities of this world and hereafter.
I have executed this wasiyatnama (will)for te knowledge and information of all concerned including my sons,daughters,son-in-laws,disciples.devotees and followers.I duly registered the same to enhance its steadiness and confirmation and I executed this wasiyatnama as registered deed.Never it would be changed .Anything against the terms and conditions of this will and its above confirmation can never be happened or established.If anyone else of my sons except you claims as Sajjadanashin (Successor),shall then and there be ignored,denied and declared null and void without any reference.The system of Tarikat (Islamic Oder)is that after a good deal o fair observation the Pir-O-Murshed appoints his Sajjadanashin,Janeshin and this selected desired person can only be the Janeshin i.e. ( the only next successor to the special chair) of Pir-O- Murshed.
Moreover it is necessary to mention that the established principle and decision of Tarikat is that the person who will become the Janeshin to the Pir-O-Mushed must definitely be the murid (disciple) of the said Pir –o- Murshed.Then he will be eligible to become the Sajjadanashin of his Pir-O-Murshed.Among my four sons you are only my murid (disciple).So I have appointed you my Janeshin (Sajjadanashin and Gadinashin).Your first brother, second brother and third brother are not my murid (disciple) and as such any one of them is not eligible for being my Janeshin and so they cannot be or will not be able to become my Janeshin (Sajjadanahin,Khalifa or Nayeb) in any circumstance.
