Before going to Haj, he had distributed his elder things and household furniture amongst the poor and needy person. While remaining valuable landed property and costly books has distributed amongst his relatives. He thus broke of all worldly ties, when he started on his journey. At first he was paying a farewell visit to the tomb of Hazrat Haji Syed Khadim Ali Shah Rehmatullah alaih after that he moved forward, on then way he stopped at Ajmeer, where the annual celebration (Urs) was being held in the shrine of Hazrat Khawja Moin-Uddin Chisti Rehmatullah alaih, so he had participated in it. After a few days stayed, he wedded his steps towards Nagpore. Maulvi Hussein Baksh Saheb, an important resident and saint son welcomed to Sarkar Waris Rehmatullah alaih when he arrived at Nagpore. Only three days he stayed in the house of Maulvi Hussein Sahib and everyday people assembled in large numbers and took benefit from his sane and sanity advice but the soon Sarkar Waris Rehmatullah alaih started his journey towards Bombay.

Therefore he spent those days in visiting the historical and sacred place while he performed Haj on it specific days. Our Sarkar Alampannah Rehmatullah alaih had traveled to Hijaz many times and each time he spent three or four years in the holy land of Kabba but during the pilgrimage season every year he performed the Holy Haj.

RIYAZAT-O-MUJAHIDA

Sarkar Waris Pak Rehmatullah alaih was adopted an ascetic life since the period of childhood.

When he reached at the age of fourteen then he became an eternal faster and when he went on his journey to Hijaz, he would break open his fast after seven days. He had continued this habit till the age of fifty. Even in these fast he took very little food. After the age of fifty, he fell sick and his health was fast deteriorating then he took daily food on the special request of his physician and devotees. For long time he abstain from the eating of mutton, milk, ghee, egg, onion, garlic and e.t.c. Everything of comfort and rest he avoided and completely cut off the worldly entanglement. Neither he sat on a couch, nor on the stool but he always sat and slept on the floor. Great wonder of his lying posture was that he was lying on his right shoulder without pillow in such a way that his back never touches the ground and his bent arm serving as a pillow.

His manner of sleep was according to the tradition of Holy Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam because our beloved prophet sometimes slept on a bear ground and sometimes slept on the blanket (Which was spreading over the ground), sometimes he slept without pillow and sometimes used brick or hand as a pillow. Now a days modern scientific research has been proved the significance of sleeping manners of Holy Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Sleep on right side is necessary for the health sake because in this posture stomach and gut do not put their heaviness on hearth due to which circulation does not compromise. Another significance of this posture is that Heart is floating due to which man never goes into deep sleep and his eyes will be open on a slight disturbance, in this way he will take safety and he may develop the habit of awake in early morning.

Sarkar Waris pak Rehmatullah Alaih said "ISLAM IS ONE THING AND FAITH IS ANOTHER THING." Many people failed to understand the meaning behind this comment. So Sarkar Waris pak further clarified that all people who have embrace Islam by birth or by conversion just blindly follow the outward injunctions of Islam but their hearts are like stone. They pride of their prayers and it is well known the moment pride enters humility is lost. Our Holy Prophet‎ صلى الله عليه و سلم declared, "The man who loves me more than his family, property and wealth he has faith" thus Islam is one thing and faith another. Faith also is not to stretch one's hands before others, the significance of which is to desist asking any thing.
