Can we say the Sai Baba of Shirdi a Real Muslim because He always used to utter Allah Malik ?

Answer 1

Sai Baba of Shirdi (in Ahmednagar district) or Shirdi Sai Baba (d. 1918), (real name and date of birth unknown), was an Indian guru and fakir, who is regarded by his Hindu and Muslim followers as a saint. In his life and teachings he tried to embrace and reconcile both faiths: Sai Baba lived in a mosque, was buried in a Hindu temple, embraced Hindu and Muslim practices, and taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions. One of his well known epigrams says of God: "Allah Malik" ("GOD is the Owner of us All.")




There is no clear record of Sai's given name, nor of his origins.

Sai arrived at the village of Shirdi in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra state when he was about sixteen years old. He took up residence in a Khandoba temple, where a villager (Mahalsapathi) at worship first called him Sai ("saint").

He fostered an extremely simple and ascetic life: living in the village as a mendicant monk, and sleeping on the floor in the temple, and later in a dilapidated mosque.

Sai soon began to attract followers who addressed him by the name Baba ("father"). He worshipped both at Hindu temples and Muslim mosques, and encouraged tolerance between the faiths.
