Life
Syedna Feer-Khan harbored great interest in acquiring knowledge from an early age. He used to attend discourses conducted by the 28th Da'i Syedna Sheikh-Adam Safiuddin.
He was imprisoned in Aurangabad by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Thereafter, he was shifted to Lahore and placed in a stable, which on the following night happened to catch fire and was totally destroyed except the dungeon, wherein Syedna was kept. He was found safe in the morning. All people held that the conflagration was due to his captivity. By an imperial order Aurangzeb was compelled to set Syedna at liberty and grant him a safe and honourable return to Ahmedabad in 1647.http://www.thelinksworld.com/Ahmedabad{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes}}
