[3]
Nooruddin
served
his
father,
Musa
Kalimuddin,
with
devotion,
and
aided
him
in
conducting
the
Dawat.
Kalimuddin
entrusted
him
with
executing
all
the
affairs
of
Dawat,
appointed
him
in
the
rutba
of
Mazoon,
and
made

When

The
ruler
of
Jamnagar,
the
‘Jaam’
Laakha,
was
against
him,
want
to
forcefully
collect
the
money,
and
forced
him
to
left
his
home
and
hometown,
secretly
one
midnight,
with
only
three
companions
(among
them
the
39th
Dai
Syedna
Ibrahim
Wajiuddin).
It
was
the
monsoon
season,
and
Syedna
Nooruddin
walked
all
night
in
the
rain.
He
passed
through
Boodri,
Daruda,
Wankaner
and
finally
to
Morbi,
where
king
of
Morvi
Raja
Kayaji
welcomed
him.
Meanwhile,
the
Jaam
found
out
that
Syedna
Nooruddin
was
in
Morvi,
he
wrote
to
the
Raja
to
have
him
sent
back,
but
the
Raja
refused.
Outraged,
the
Jaam
looted
Syedna
Nooruddin’s
home
and
possessions
in
Jamnagar.[5]
Six
months
after
looting
Syedna
Nooruddin’s
possessions,
the
‘Jaam’
fell
ill,
and
with
his
body
infested
with
parasitic
worms,
he
died
a
terrible,
painful
death.
The
‘Jaam’
was
succeeded
by
his
son,
the
new
Jaam
Raj
Singh,
who
was
a
devotee
of
Syedna
Nooruddin.
When
Raj
Singh
was
a
youth,
Syedna
Nooruddin
saved
him
from
poison
fed
to
him
by
his
stepmother.
Raj
Singh
invited
Syedna
Nooruddin
to
come
back
to
Jamnagar.
In
Dhu-l-Hijja
1124H,
Syedna
Nooruddin
was
received
by
Jaam
Raj
Singh
himself
with
pomp
and
ceremony
in
presence
of
his
full
army
and
all
communities.
He
returned
all
the
possessions
that
his
father
had
looted,
in
addition
to
the
chit
of
credit
for
330,000
gold
Jaamis
that
his
father
had
extorted.
Some
time
thereafter,
Jaam
Raj
Singh
was
murdered
by
his
step-brother,
who
took
the
throne.
Syedna
Nooruddin
did
not
feel
safe
anymore
in
Jamnagar,
and
he
migrated
to
Mandvi,
a
port
on
the
Kachchh
coast,
where
he
set
up
his
home,
and
lived
thereon
for
rest
of
his
life.
His
period
of
Dawat
was
1122-1130
AH/
1710-1719
AD
(Death:
4
Rajab
1130).
He
left
behind
three
young
children
under
the
age
of
eight.
He
was
succeeded
by
38th
Dai
Ismail
Badruddin
II.
Future
Dais
including
51st
dai
Taher
Saifuddin,
52nd
dai
Syedna
Mohammed
Burhanuddin
and
53rd
dai
Mufaddal
Saifuddin
are
from
his
progeny.
