When he was still an infant, his father, Syedna Dawood bin Qutubshah (R.A) also prophesied his shahaadat. In Ahmedabhad in 1056 Hijri, sacrifices were made and persecution endured in order to shield the faith. Rather than submit to dushman such as Aurangzeb, Qasim Aandhlo and Abdul Ghavii (l.a), Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed (R.A) declared that he followed the tenets of Islam. As a result, he was martyred. Dushman claimed that Syedna Qutbuddin was executed under the charge of being a “raafzi”, or one who has deviated from the path of Islam. Syedna Qutbuddin refuted this claim by saying that he was far from being a raafzi. In fact, he was the essence of the Sunnah and he would choose martyrdom over admittance to such a charge.
