Madurai Maqbara
The place where these three sheikhs' graves are found is called Maqbara and is in the premises of Kazimar Big mosque (Periya Pallivasal)[3] in the Heart of Madurai, city which is the cultural capital of Tamil Nadu in South India.
Similarly, Chinna is a Tamil word which translates to younger or small in English, and in Arabic means "Sagheer" صغير.
Periya Hazrat then returned to His home town Madurai and started a madrassa to educate Muslims from all over Tamil Nadu.
For His outstanding wisdom and expertise in the Islamic Fiqh laws, Mir Ahamadh Ibrahim was appointed as the government chief Kazi of Madurai and Kaziul Kuzaat by the then Nawab of Carnatic in India.
He served excellently with Khilafatship and Kaziship and added Glory to Islam in Madurai and other parts of Tamil Nadu.
There were a lot of followers (muhibs) of these Hazrats in a nearby locality called Nelpettai Pattaraikaara street belonging to sungam Pallivasal on the southern bank of river Vaigai.
One fine day, Chinna Hazrat was walking and reciting some tasbeeh at the bank of river Vaigai after giving them a lecture after Asar.
[6] Once, a mureed of Chinna Hazrat in Sri Lanka was struggling to breathe, as some food got struck in his vocal cords while eating.
Also, Khalwat Nayagam, who belonged to a traditional family in Keelakarai, Ramanathapuram District, had a wish of going to Sri Lanka for his business.
On his way back, he was in a dilemma and before reaching home, his mind changed and finally he concluded by sitting in Khalwah for his entire lifetime.
Wa ainal jinnu wash shaitaanu minnaانا بنت الرسول و لست جننا و اينل جن والشيطان منا, which means "I am the daughter of the Prophet and not Jinn (as you doubted), Jinn and Shaitan surely can't take our shapes, and they can't be from us."
Realizing the truth, Saalim Hazrat memorised that Qasidah and its still being recited through by people who love Ahl al-Bayt.
Suddenly, a saint with a dark green turban arrived on a large Arabian horse, who was found to be Sultan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed of Erwadi dargah.
Sulthan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed recited a Qasida starting as Wa laula ballu saifi bid Dimaa'i, Layab Qal Hindu Kulluhu Fil 'Amaa'ii و لولا بل سيفي بالدماء* ليبقى الهند كله في العماء which means "Had been my sword not soaked in the bloods, this land of India would have gone dark" and completed it with 25 couplets.
Also, Shahul Hameed Abdul Qadir of Nagore had also appeared before Saalim waliyullah and recited a Qasida which starts as كراماتنا تجري علا كلي عالم Karaamaatuna Tajri ala kulli 'aalami which means Our miracles (Wonders) are wide spread all over the universe.
He composed a lot of bait begging Erwadi Sulthan Syed Ibrahim Shaheed's wasila for a child.
During the period of these three Waliyullahs and Khalifaas after them, Fassiyatush Shadhiliyya sufi order started flourishing in various parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and in Sri Lanka.
