Shaikh Ba-yazeed-I Aliace Baba Shahbaz Parind
Shrine in Kaniguram, South Waziristan, Pakistan (1430-1508 AD)

Amongst the descendents of Hz Abu Ayub Ansari, Moulana Ibrahim Soharwardi – I (of Mastoi, NorthWaziristan, Pak-Afghan border- d.1260) who is also a peer bhai of Hz Shaikh Bahauddin Zakariya Multani and is linked after 8 steps to Shaikh Ba-Yazeed-1.

Zaid Aqa was his elder brother, who got married to the daughter of Sultan Abu Saeed Mirza (1424-1469 AD) the ruler of Hirat, and Grand Father of Mughal King Babar. Zaid Aqa died early, buried in Sumarqand and left widow. He had a daughter who was married to Shaikh Mahmood {They are parents of Shaikh Abdullah Abdaal Dunk}. His widow got remarried to Shaikh Ba-yazeed Shahbaz Parind.
Shahbaz Parind had two wives: First wife having two sons (1st son Abdul Rahim, who is father of Shaikh Ahmad Ghous d.1590, AND 2nd son Muhammad Shaikh, whose grandson is Ba-yazeed-2 aliace Peer Roshaan d.1580}.
From Second wife (Widow of Zaid Aqa and daughter of Sultan Abu Saeed Mirza) she gave birth to a son and a daughter; Son named Shaikh Ibrahim (known as Shah Ibrahim Danishmand-2, d.1524 in Bangal). His further descendents are Shaikh Peer wali of Kaniguram, Shaikh Mian Darwesh and Mian Abdul Ghafoor of Jalandhar.

Move from Mastoi to Kaniguram :

The descendents of Moulana Shaikh Ibrahim-I stayed / lived in Mastoi for long period since 1240’s. During the Khilafat Period of Shaikh Shahbaz Parind (Ba-yazeed-I ), the two groups of Burki Tribe had a serious fight and many young men were killed by each other (Book Tazkeer ul Ansaar says it was around 150he same0 AD). In t period a series of heavy earth quake in 1505 AD also took place in the area.

So, the followers of Burki Tribe from Kaniguram requested him to come at their lands along with families, as they had a great respect for them being their Peers {Spiritual leaders}. They offered lands/properties as a full support, enabling them to establish financially and requested for shifting from Mastoi/Sangtoi to their place. Shahbaz Parind accepted their sincere offer and settled down to Kaniguram along with all family members. Other Burkies also started shifting to Kaniguram after their arrival.
Due to their great efforts thousands of people were entered into their discipline. So after serving with great deal, at last he died and was buried in Kaniguram in 1508 AD approx.

Few years after the death of Shaikh Ba-Yazeed Shahbaz Parind, a caravan from Kaniguram to Jalandhar arrived in around 1515 AD, it was period of Sikandar Lodhi. Shaikh Ahmad Ghous was leading the group and purpose was the settlement and to find out business avenues. An important objective was to introduce Islamic teachings {Shareeah} in the region by the spiritual persons.
