He was born on the 14th Shawwaal 1021 Hijri. He was a Sayyid. Initially he led a care-free life. But his father, Shaikh Isa Hargami, would always admonish and rebuke him. Once when his father subjected him to prolonged naseehat and admonition, he developed a desire for knowledge. He thus engaged himself in the pursuit of Uloom-e-Zaahiriyyah after which an urge for Uloom-e-Baatiniyyah developed. In this regard he came to Khwajah Muhibbullah and began the process of acquiring Ma-aarif (spiritual knowledge).

He stayed 14 years with Hadhrat Shaikh, rendering every kind of service to his Shaikh. There are some very blessed statements and glad tidings mentioned by Hadhrat Shaikh Muhibbullah in regard to Shaikh Sayyid Muhammadi. Such glowing statements of the Shaikh are a wonderful fortune and happiness for the Mureed. In all this time he only once visited his father in Hargaam in the district of Sitapْr.

He was fond of travelling, hence he spent a great deal of time in his wanderings. After departing from Ilahabad, he stayed for some time in Amrohah on the request and insistence of its inhabitants. He then settled for a while in Akbaraabad. He set the practise of alternating between Akbaraabad and Amrohah staying a few days in each town. In the end he settled permanently in Amrohah.

Usually men of excellence are targeted by envious persons. These people fabricated falsities regarding Hadhrat Shaikh Sayyid Muhammadi and lodged complaints about him to the king, Alamghir (Auranzeb) who ordered Hadhrat to go to the Haramain Shareefain. Thus, in the year 1090, Hadhrat journeyed to the Haramain. After a stay of five years, he returned in 1095 Hijri. His wife had accompanied him on this journey and Shah Muhammad Makki and Shah Muhammad Madani were born.

When he returned, the envious enemies could not tolerate him. They conspired against him and fabricated charges of treason against him. Alamghir succumbing to this pressure of his courtiers, had Hadhrat imprisoned in Aurangabad.

His Demise
On the 3rd Rajab 1107 Hijri, Hadhrat Shaikh Sayyid Muhammadi while still in prison bid farewell to this abode of hardships. He is buried in Agra in Mahallah Moti Katrah.
