Ahad Bab, the great Sufi Saint of the north Kashmir, was born on 30th of June, 1930, at Mohalla Ashapeer in the Apple Town of Sopore in District Baramulla.
Though he had rejected the comforts, luxuries and activities of this world long before in 1950, yet he himself finally left for the heavenly abode physically at the age of 80 years on 26th of July, 2010 after a brief illness. Ahad Bab’s Grandfather Peer Hidayatullah and his father Peer Mohammad Ahsan were pious and dedicated worshippers of Allah and were held in high esteem in the society.
Ahad Bab was married to a gentle and devout lady called Hajah Begum who died in 1979. Since Ahad Bab had renounced this world including his home and family, his mother-law Saja Begum took utmost care of the two children of the Peer and Saint.
