He was born on 1st Ramzan Mubarak 1208 Hijri and died on 21 Rabi ul awwal 1313 Hijri. He use to not drink milk until it was magrib for the whole mont of ramzan mubrak.

Many time Gause e Pak use to come to him in ruhaniyat he use to call him nana Jan.
He was the son of Hazrat Makhdoom Shaikh Allahullah Miyan(rahmatullah alaih) and the grandson of Muhammad Barkatullah(rahmatullah alaih).
Right from his infancy, the child wasted no time in games and devoted himself completely to prayers. When other children asked him to play, he said to them, "God has not sent me for playing in the world." He spoke Kalima (profession of faith) as early as the age of two and a half yers. Those who heard him pray at that age were truly astonished.
Hazrat Maulna Fazl-e-Rehma Gunjmuradabadi(rahmatullah alaih) was hardly eleven years of age when his father passed away. There was a famine in the land and there was nothing to eat in the house. His mother closed the door and the family lived on boiled leaves. She would not let anybody know her misery. She has many rich relatives but she prayed only to Allah for help.
After receiving elementary education in the village, the boy went to Lucknow for higher education, and then to Delhi for the same purpose. He walked all the way and lived on grams worth a paise or two a day.
In Delhi, joined the classes of Hazrat Shah Abdul Aziz(rahmatullah alaih) and became a disciple of Hazrat Muhammad Afaq(rahmatullah alaih). The Master soon recognised the new disciple and said to him, " One day you will dazzle the world liek a sun."
Then he returned to Ganj Moradabad and resided there. It became a centre of spiritual learning in the country. He built many mosques all over the country. He lived in a very small house. Both Hindus and Muslims flocked to see him for light and wisdom.
His life was very simple. He dressed very poorly. He lived on bajra bread. He lived in a mud house. He used to smoke the hookah because of constipation. His disciple brought him costly clothes but he wore only rags. He did not use a pillow for sleeping. However, he was fond of Delhi shoes and Delhi caps.
Once an Arab asked him for two hundred rupees. He didnot know who the person was. He borrowed the money from a shopkeeper and gave it to him. But the Arab was not satisfied. He wanted another Rs. 50. He also managed that money for hm. Then the ARab demanded a blanket and a pitcher. The Master gave him his own blanket and his own pitcher. Then the Arab wanted Master to write ten letters for him. The Master did that also for an unknown guest. Then the Arab demanded fare for a pony. The Master directed the Arab to take the money from a certain shopkeeper. Such was the Master's limitless generosity and tolerance.
The Master had a miraculous touch and he cured everybody by simply praying for him. He cured some of the most dangerous diseases by simply giving water to the sufferers.
He has shown may miracles in his life a few i am mentioning below.

No one evil, as your question seems to imply.
Islam is the name we call the religion of every true prophet of God, from Adam to Muhammad.
Why is it so hard to understand Muslim traditions and the whole lifestyle in general?
It is actually not hard when you try to understand the traditions and life style with the heart. Some people just refuses to understand it saying that it's too much to do, for example the praying. They say that it takes time, but it actually isn't once you really understand what the benefits of praying can give you. It is found that the positions in praying is very good for your health and in spiritual terms, praying can stop you from doing evil deeds.
The life style in general is for some people very simple. That is how life should be. A glamorous life can only lead to jealousy and jealousy could lead into other different things, which I'm sure will do you no good.
Take your time in understanding it. The traditions and life style is there for good reasons. It is to keep humans on the right way, where Insya Allah it will lead us to a happier time on Earth and the next life.
Is the feast praying compulsory?
No, the praying (or Salah or Namaz) of feast (or id) is not compulsory (is not fard or farz).
The feast praying (or Namaz of Id or Salat of Id) is an assured Sunnah (if you practice it you got rewarded by God but if you don't practice it you are not penalized).
Answeryes namaz (salah in Arabic) is farz upon every believer, and not only Eid salah, all salahs are fard upon every believer from the age of 7, and if the boy or girl doesnot pray until the age of 12 then u have to be a bit strict to tell them to pray salah. because the first question in the grave will be asked about salah, and salah is the way to success, salah gives you peace of heart, salah is very important brother, never miss salah, ant not only eid salah, not only jumma salah, all salah are important. any more questions, add me on facebook paki_souljah@hotmail.com

No, both man & woman's status is same in Islam.

I would like to say in ISLAM even women also has got rights, but some limits are imposed to her.
Refer to question below

Hafiz Adnan Shahid
What difference is there in the belief of a Shia?
Shia and Sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. Today there is up to 260 sects in Islam that are in two main categories of shia and sunni.
the conflict of shia and sunni has been always amplified by world Imperialism to prevent Islam from gaining power.
Shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.
Shia pray 5 times a day but usually do the 2, 3 and 4, 5 pray together and so may seem they do only 3 pray a day. there is some differences in details of pray like genuflect (for shia should be on a stone or part of earth and for sunni on carpet or floor ).
shia believe after death of prophet God selected the successive for prophet who is the political leader of Muslim community and people can not and does not the right to selected it.
Shia believes the Caliph (Representative of God in earth) is selected only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority" (Quran 2:30) or "O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth" (Quran 38:26) also other verses.
Shia believes such verses means only God can select an Islamic political leader (Caliph).
In Shia Islam Caliphs after prophet are 12 Imams and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (not absolute knowledge like knowledge of God) and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after even after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human Shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.
Shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph by people valid because God did not select him. They believe God ordered prophet to declare people that Ali is selected as successor of prophet and prophet did this mission many times during his prophet-hood and mainly in Ghadir event after last Hajj of his life at a 3-4 hour speech in front of 120,000 Muslims at Ghadir in hot desert after 2 days stop of long caravan for gathering and 3 days after speech for congratulations and homage of Muslims to Ali. Islam at that time had high power in world and Some companions had high interest in leadership position after prophet. Muslims knew that it is the final Hajj of prophet (predicted by prophet) and were going along with prophet to hear what prophet says at end of his life. Shia believes Ghadir event is the most important event of Islam and is mentioned in Koran in many verses like "Today" (اليوم) in verse 5:3 of Quran is the day of Ghadir. Or Verse 5:67 (O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith) is revealed at Ghadir day and is about declaring political leadership of Ali after prophet.
Both Sunni and Shia Muslims accept happening of Ghadir event But different interpret. Some Sunni writers tried to reject the event of Ghadir as declare of leadership of Ali and said at Ghadir prophet only wanted to say Ali is my friend and no one should bother him. Ali had 3 different missions to Yemen by prophet during 10 years and in 2 of them some companions of prophet had some conflicts with Ali and and prophet said some sayings about Ali to solve conflicts and some sunni writers have mixed stories of missions of Ali to Yemen with story of Ghadir to prove Ghadir event is not about Leadership of Ali and is not important.
Shia scholars believe some Sunni writers have changed and deviated historical evidences about political leadership of Ali in old historical books and republished them to destroy evidences of leadership of Ali from old Sunni books.
The famous Shia book Al-Ghadir (الغدير) by Allameh Amini is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Events written after referring to 100,000 Sunni books and full reading of 10,000 sunny books. Allameh Amini is a famous Shia scholar and spent 40 years of his life in travelling to access original old Sunni books in libraries in different countries to write this 20 volume book only from Sunni books and not using any Shia book. Some Sunni scholars tried to reply this book but then said if we want to reply this book we should first destroy all books of ourselves.
Shia doctrine have root in Karbala tragedy. When tragedy of Karbala happened most of Iranians understood there is two different kinds of Islam and after happening of Karbala tragedy most of Iranians became followers of "Ahl al-Bayt" and forgive their lives for them like what they did in Iranian Revolution and Iran-Iraq War. Shia Muslims have at least 120,000 Hadith (saying) from The Fourteen Infallibles that is the base of Shia Islam along with Quran. Shia believes according to " Hadith of the two weighty things" The Fourteen Infallibles are the only valid interpreters of Quran and sayings of them are from God because they are Representative of God in earth and they do not say anything from themselves. Shia believes 12th of them (Mahdi) is alive and because people have killed all 11 Imams before him, he is in hide like Jesus and will come out of hide toghether with Jesus when people become ready and want to accept his leadership. All 11 Imams have been killed and during their life thy all have been in prison or under hard control of government to not have any political action. They never had enough serious followers to can get political power. Among them only the sixth Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq was relatively free in his life to have only scientific activities (but banned from any political action) and so only he is known in west because he established university and had students from all over the world. Westerns know him as a polymath: an astronomer, alchemist, Imam, Islamic scholar, Islamic theologian, writer, philosopher, physician, physicist and scientist. He was also the teacher of the famous chemist, Jābir ibn Hayyān (Geber), and of Abū Ḥanīfa, the founder of the Hanafi school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. He never wanted be a famous man and only shared his knowledge with who wanted to learn. Some researchers consider his teachings the root cause of renaissance.
Sunni Muslims also accept Mahdi and his worldwide leadership as Caliph of God in earth at end of world. There is a famous Hadith from prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Mahdi at hide is like sun behind cloud, he is hidden from people but people receive his benefits. Shia Muslims say some faithful believers have connection with Mahdi and use his knowledge. Shia Muslims believe that it is proved at least 1000 persons have had connection and talk with Mahdi during his hide period but Any one having relation with Mahdi keep it and does not declare it in public until is alive.
How do shia believe their religion leader should be chosen?
Shia belives only Allah can appoint a leader and they are 12 Imams and at the time of Occultation of 12th Imam, he himself set some rules for selecting a leader from top Jurists.

Cleanliness a part of Muslim life. Your can keep your hairy stuff long, as long as you can keep it clean. if not just shave it then. :)
How would a Muslim distinguish between good and bad government?
Depending which country you're in, (if you are in an Islamic country well then) you can differentiate between a good and bad government by the way it acts. Do the people in the government follow the word of Allah? Do they pray the 5 prayers, fast the month of Ramadan, pay Zakah, and do everything else that Allah and the prophet p.b.u.h. told us to do? Do they do it correctly. I won't name governments or dictators who don't really do things the correct way or they aren't fair to the people that live in the country that they are leaders in. I will just hope and leave Allah s.w.t. to deal with them.
