Blessings related to the shrine:

A blessing of hafiz Hyatt is that,

none of the insects and animals in

the region of the shrine can harm
human beings. E.g. there live a
number of snake and other insects
but if we put an eye in the history,
well come to know that no insect
harmed anybody in the past n
present too. . .

Another blessing related to the

shrine is that whenever anyone

sided the Jaye namz of hafiz
Hyatt, some rupees were found
under that. . .
Hafiz sahib was a great preacher of
Islam. He gave the education about
the religion and even he also
taught the Jinnah which shows his
greatness and intellectualness. .

When Reaserchers studied deeply

about hafiz Hyatt, we came to know

that as the land occupied by shrine
and the surroundings was not the
ownership of anybody, but the real
owner was Hafiz Hyattas he was
not married, so after his death many
individuals
as wel as groups(some political
parties) tried to take the ownership
of this land,

but no one was succeeded in

doing so, as naturally this land

was not for somebody, but due to
the presence of shrine, it was the
best decision to use it for a better
purpose, so whenever any
group attempted to capture it,

they were troubled a lot and

harmed in some way.

Interestingly, the sky light gives

salaam to Hafiz Hyatt sahib.

Amazing is that, a very big grain

weighting about 60 kg was found
in the shrine, which later was
captured by a political party. . .

When it was the opening of the

university of hafiz Hyatt, its name was

decided as University of Gujrat and
on the opening ceremony of this
university its name was written on a
big stone and when they started the
ceremony, the stone slipped down (as
to indicate that something happened
wrong), then people decided to
change the name of university and
relate it with the name of hafiz
Hyatt. . .so the name was changed to
hafiz Hyatt campus.

It Is said that whenever

somebody visited the Hafiz Sahab

he was granted by some rupees
from Hafiz Hayat, and this
tradition is going to be held till
now as when the researcher
visited he was also granted.

A man saw hafiz Hyatt in his

dream, hafiz sahib gave him the

hints to search for it in the shrine,
when the man began his search,
he found a stone on which there
were the foot prints of hafiz Hyatt
sahib. After this that stone was
shown to the vice chancellor of
this
university and then was passed
to the Gujrat museum according
to informer. . .

Popularity
It has been around two hundred

years since the death of Mr. Hafiz

Hayat but people still come to his
shrine and respects him. He showed
a number of blessings and thats why
people still believe in him and his
teachings. People believe that those
problems which were solved here are
not solved by any other shrines.
