Syed Ibrahim Sahid Badusha of Erwadi came and called her to Erwadi for Ziyarat to have a child. The Maulana was born after three years with the blessings of Sulthan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed. Meer Ibrahim came to the Madarasa for pursuing education and was very backward in studies, so the teacher advised him to leave the madarasa. The Periya Hazrat went to bed after offering prayers to Allah. That night he had a dream that people were rushing to see Allah’s Tajalli and he also joined them, at a hill, they have a glimpse of Allah’s Tajali. Next day his teacher asked him to leave the Madarasa since his teacher felt that he wasn’t qualified to be taught by him.
