s who worked on their lands. At the time this area was green and lush and there were fruit orchards of all kinds. Which were irrigated by the local rivers. An abundance of forests and wild life was there. The locals had to ask for permission from Wali Kirani's descendants in order to get wood for burning from their lands.

At the time most Balochi tribes were mostly Bedouins and raised goats and sheep for a living. Slowly people spread their resources and took to selling wood that they cut from the forest. Many of these people made permanent houses for themselves on the uninhabited lands and started paying rent to the owners.

Because there was lack of manpower and the land was only used in the rainy season, the owners had no qualms about the arrangement. But after a few decades these people filed for partial ownership of the land and occupied them permanently. Also as the population of the Sadat

grew the land was distributed between their descendants and some families only ended up with enough land which was hardly enough for them to live on. So they migrated to other areas. In this way the influence of non-Sadat increased in the area and many villages were formed. People took over thousands of acres of barren land. Today the Sadat are only limited to their own village. Most have sold their lands and left the area.

He was the third son of Khwaja Najamuddin Ahmed

Khwaja Najamuddin Ahmed

Khwaja Najamuddin Ahmed Mushtaq Bin Moudodi Chishti was a sufi saint. A part of the Chishti Order , a Sufi order within the mystic branches of Islam which was founded in Chisht, a small town near Herat, about 930 C.E. and continues to this day...

Mushtaq, the two elders being Khwaja Baha-ud-din Mohammed and Khwaja Nizam-ud-din Ali. The two elder brothers could not decide as to who should be successor of their father while the younger one, Khwaja Rukun-ud-din Hussain kept quiet. Finally the "murids" and "Khulifa", having seen a miraculous sign, requested Khwaja Rukun-ud-din to be the "Sajada nashin". His brothers also agreed. He was always respectful to his brothers and gave them due regard.
During the period the Tartars had entered the Muslim provinces and the disorder and the disturbances prevailed everywhere. The Khwaja migerated to Ghour along with his family. It is said that he was in the fort of Ghour when the Tartar forces surrounded and besieged the city but the Khwaja prayed and as they could not conquer, they left.
Though Khwaja Rukun-ud-din came back to Chisht but the whole of his family was disturbed due to the Tartars looting and killing without discrimination. The Khwaja asked his son Khwaja Ali to proceed to India while his other son Khwaja Mohammed died. He often felt grief over separation of his sons, due to migration and death. He died in 635 AH at the age of ninety years.

Hazara Town is divided into nine blocks, and almost all the houses are made of concrete.

Syeds of Kirani

Syed's of Kirani owning to their great sanctity and influence among the local tribesmen, allowance aggregating Rs.138 per mensem were sanctioned, apparently about 1878,for Syed Aurang Shah and four other Syed's of Kirani. Syed Samander Shah and Jahan Shah died in November 1889, when their allowances were discontinued for a time. That payable to Aurang Shah viz, rs.50,has been continued to his son,Syed Bahar Shah and has been paid through the political agent, Kalat, since October 1899. The question of the distribution of the remaining Rs.80 was referred to jirga in September 1890, and as a result of its recommandation,the payment of Rs.45 was sanctioned to certain members of Ata ullah Shah's family,and Rs.35 to Amin ullah Shah's family.

The allowances mentioned above were given to the Saddat Kirani for the services they offered to the English colonel Sir Robert Sandeman.He came to Balouchistan and his forces barged in Kandahar, the road to Kandahar was so closed that none could venture to go to Kandahar but at the sacrifice of his life. Consequently no Kandahar news could reach the English as none dare d to bring it. Thereupon colonel Sandeman summoned all the sardars then assembled expressed their opinions that the news could not be brought by any person other than the Syed's of Kirani because they had been WAKEELS of the Kabul courts since the time unmemorial and that they should be called upon to bring the news. The colonel Sandeman called for Mir Samunder Shah, Mir Jehan Shah, Mir Aurang Shah motabars of Kirani and asked them to bring the news from kandahar.They readily undertook the mission and brought the news tidings regularly. And a sum of Rs. 300 fixed for their services and was stopped when the British forces returned and country was reconciled and was converted to a sum of Rs. 130 monthly for Syed's
