any place, including red light areas, to collect money. Qazi Mian Muhammad Amjad himself gave donation and persuaded all local influential landlords to contribute in this regard. 60 conservative Ulema and Alims had signed fatwas accusing Sir Syed of disbelief and apostasy. There was total consensus among the Ulema and Alims, only divine approval was missing. Maulvi Ali Bakhsh did the needful and travelled to Mecca and Medina on the pretext of pilgrimage and secured a fatwa calling for beheading of Sir Syed if he repented not and persisted with his plan to establish the college. But Qazi Mian Muhammad Amjad urged his people to support Aligarh movement. Amjad was a "Hakeem" or herbalist (an herbal medicine practitioner) of first rank. He did not accept remuneration from patients for his treatments. Later, his elder son Qazi Mahar Qayyum (Raees azam Naushera) became a very accomplished "Hakeem". Qazi Mian Muhammad Amjad died on 20 Jan 1920. He was buried in Naushera, Soon Valley of Punjab, where his tomb became a site of Sufi veneration.
