Interest in Business
"Nawab sahib was also interested in business. He had established a shop called “Lillahi” with branches in Mecca, Medina and Egypt. These shops offered good assistance to those who went on a Haj pilgrimage. They used to deposit their money in Mecca and get bills of exchange to draw money at Medina. The business of grains, clothes, and pearls was conducted on a big scale. With the death of Nawab sahib, all these shop faced closure because of mismanagement of those controlling the shops."
