Can i know Siddiqui sahab, as to why are you so bent upon proving Abdullah Shah Ghazi as an Umayyad general, when it is rediculous to even propose something of that sort, considering the fact that Abdullah Shah Ghazi was a Syed, or the progeny of the Prophet and niether Sunni nor Shia nor universal Islamic history in any point of time has ever tried to conjoin the two clans Banu Hashim and Banu Umayya as being even courteous to the other, from Badar to Ohad to Siffeen to Jamal to Karbala and whatever happened after that, these are two clans which have been bitter rivals before and after the dawn of Islam. It is hence in my opinion, absurd to try and prove this just because some Mr. Daud Pota says so... if he one fine day says that Lal Shahbaz Qalandar of Sehwan fame is an Umayyad general, i wouldnt give it a second thought.
Also i wonder why of these two gentlemen, Abdulla bin Nahban and Badil bin Tuhfa, firstly none has ever been heard of either of them, and secondly, why is there not even a grave of the second general Badil bin Tuhfa anywhere known, and lastly, as to what deeds of this Umayyad general made him so holy and saintly, that he became such a pious saint of Karachi. Also, then what about the so many people (other than Daud Pota) who say he's from the linage of Imam Hasan and the fact that 90% of the people who revere him more are the ones who are the partisans of Ali ibne Abi Talib.
Please clarify these few points and i wont change the Pota version again and again, after all we're grown ups and should act like them instead of changing each others edit every day. Wasalam.
[edit] Can Abdullah Shah Ghazi be called a Sufi?
I visited his shrine in Karachi some weeks ago and everybody told me he was a famous Sufi. Maybe someone could add this aspect to the article (if true)... Roland ro 14:53, 23. Aug 2007 (CEST)
