His grandfather named him Ghulam Rasul and his father named him Rasul Shah while his mother named him Munawar Shah. He was born on the 9th of Ramdan, Monday, at 'Zohar' prayers at a place called Bolaam in Sirinagar (Indian held Kashmir). As it was the sacrad month of Ramdan and being an inborn saint of Allah Almight, it is reported, that he did not accept mother feed till the apparance of 'Shawal' moon. It was the first sign of his being a true adorer of Allah Almight. Later, we find a series of consecutive spiritual incidents, almost transcendental, related to him that show that he was one of the favourits of Allah Almighty. He is a descendent of both Hazrat Imam Hussan (R.A) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A).
