Feeling regretful, he set out on a journey to travel across the world in the early 15th century. Choosing to settle in Mumbai, he devoted himself to spreading the Islamic faith.

Before his death he has advised his followers that they should not bury Him at any proper place or graveyard and should drop his shroud 'kafan' in the ocean such that it should be buried by the people where it is found.

His wish was obeyed by his followers.
