Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 4 4 Daughters 1. Mst. Umaamah (from first wife) 2. Mst. Hafsah (from first wife) 3. Amatullah (from first wife) 4. Hadhrat Amatul Hayee ra (from second wife) Munshi Muhammad-Din-Fauq has written in his book History of Peoples of Poonch that the A ‘ waan people are related to Hadhrat Ali ra. The A ‘ waan people and their different clans and writers unani mously agree that they are the descendants of the son of Hadhrat Ali ra , Abbas Alamdar, who was martyred in the tragedy of Karbala. His sons, Abdullah and Ubaidullah, died in 120 A. H. during the time of Umayyad Khalifa Hisham bin Abdul Malik, and were buried in the holy city of Medina. The family tree of the A ‘ waan meets in the seventh generation to A ‘ waan bin Qasim Laila. As the A ‘ waans were in the family tree with Hadhrat Abbas Alamdar, they were also Abbasides, and as Hadhrat Abbas was the son of Hadhrat Ali ra , they were also called Alvi. The author of the book Hayaat-i-Noor (p. 280), Maulana Abdul Qaadir (formerly Sodagar Mal) writes: From the family tree of Maulana Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen, it is evident that he was a descendant of Hadhrat Umar ra. Among his ancestors, many were saints. His father's name was Haafiz Ghulam Rasool. He was resident of Bhera, district Shah Pur. His mother was from the A ‘ waan family, her name was Noor Bakht. She was the daughter of Mian Qadir Baksh of Kahana.
