Who Was He
Born Into Light — A Life of Divine Purpose
Hazrat Saiyed Ali Mira Datar was born on the night of the Eid moon — 29th Ramzan 879 Hijri, 4th August 1426 CE — in Saiyedwada, Ahmedabad. His lineage traces directly to Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A.), grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), through a noble family that had journeyed from Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
From childhood he was known as a wali — a friend of Allah. He devoted every hour to ibaadat, to deep study of Hadees and Sunnah, and to helping all who came to him in difficulty. No problem was too great, no person turned away.
" Whoever brought any difficulty to Saiyed Ali, he solved it immediately. There was spiritual power in his tongue — whatever he prayed was accepted very soon. "
He attained shahadat — martyrdom — on 29th Moharram 897 Hijri, the very same moonlit date as his birth. In his resting place at Unava, his Noor — divine spiritual light — continues to heal and guide all who arrive with sincerity.

The Battle
Battle of Mandavgad
At the age of approximately eighteen, when wedding preparations were being made for Saiyed Ali in Unava, the call came from King Mehmood Begda. The fort of Mandavgad in Madhya Pradesh had resisted conquest for years. The tyrant ruler there was terrorising thousands of people — killing them to appease a giant idol, practicing black magic, and enslaving the innocent.
