Chapter XLVII: Appendix: V

(Page 14.)
Syed Mahmūd, commonly known by the name of Geesū Derāz, (long hair) became a very celebrated Saint in Hindūstan; his tomb yet exists in the vicinity of Kulberga, in the Dekhan, and is still resorted to by numerous Muhammedan pilgrims. He wrote several treatises on _Sūfyism_, four of which are described in the Catalogue of Tippoo Sultān’s Library, No. 17 to 20.
I take the opportunity of mentioning, that although Muhammed declared that he would have no monks in his religion, yet it abounds with more orders of them under the denomination of Fakeers, Dervishes, and Sūfies, than exist in any Catholic country, and the number of Saints equals that in the Roman Kalendar. The tenets of the Sūfies resemble those of the Mystics and Quietists of Europe. The Shykhs or Presidents of these monasteries are supposed to possess a prescience of events, and some of them the power of performing miracles.

The proper title of the 67th Chapter of the Korān, is _Al Mūlk_, but is more generally known by the name of _Tebarek Allezy_, and is very much admired by the Muselmāns, the following is the verse given in page 26.
آمِنتُم مَن فِي السّمَا ٱن يَحْسِف بِکُم آلآرضَ فَاِذا هي تَمُوْرُ
It is not meant by this, that he was the first who bore the name of _Timūr_, as it occurs previously to this period, in the Moghul history; Arab Shāh says that it means _Iron_ in the Tūrky language; he employs two lines to give the true orthography of the word, but acknowledges that the pronunciation has been changed in the course of time.
