Qalandar
is one of the most renowed Sufi saints in history. He was born
in early 1400 in Panipat, India. After the Ibadat of 36 years
by standing in the water in Karnal he achieved the status of
"Bu-Ali-Shah Qalandar". The Prophet Mohammed blessed
him with the fragrance Bu Ali. After achieving this Rutba, many
Sufi saints came to see Bu-Ali-Shah Qalandar. After many years
of devotion and service Bu-Ali-Shah Qalandar is said to have
disappeared into the sky in front of all his devotees. Now there
is the Durbar of Bu-Ali-Shah Qalandar Sahib in Panipat, which
is very well known as the Qalandari Gate.
More
about the saint : His
name was Sheikh Sharf Uddin and Bu-Ali Shah the title. His father,
Sheikh Fakhar Uddin was a great scholar and saint of his time.
The mother, Bibi Hafiza Jamal, was the daughter of Maulana Syed
Nemat Ullah Hamdani. His father came from Iraq in the year 600
Hijri and settled down in Panipat. His lineage with several
links reached Hazrat Imam Abu Hanifa. He was born in 606 Hijri
in Panipat.
He completed his studies at an early age and taught near the
Qutub Minar in Delhi for 20 years. He was counted among renowned
scholars and top-ranking teachers regarded him with respect.
Once
during the studies he was lost in absorption and wonder. He
got up and threw all the books into the river and trudged into
the forest and busied in prayer and meditation there.

He
undertook severe penance and meditation, stood in a state of
absorption for several days in water till the fish ate away
flesh form his calves. One day he was engaged in meditation,
a voice he heard. It said, "Sharf Uddin, we granted you
your prayer say, what do you want?" He said, "I need
none save you. I will give away my life in love while standing
at this place." The voice again descended, "Get out
of water, you have to do much for us." He replied, "I
will not emerge myself from the river of love. If you want it,
then do it." Saying this he was lost again. He witnessed,
in the state, that a saint appeared and lifted him out of the
river and placed him on the bank.
Several
chroniclers opine that the saint was Hazrat Ali himself. He
taught him some divine secrets and disappeared. From that day
he was regularly lost in spiritual wonderment. His heart was
filled with heavenly light. From that day he was call Boo-Ali
Shah.

Still
some chroniclers say that he did not pledge obedience to a holy
man but was admitted directly into the fold by Hazrat Ali. Some
link him to the Mahboob-e-Ilahi whereas others bind him to Hazrat
Qutub Uddin Bakhtiyar Ka'aki and Sheikh Shabu Uddin Suharawardy.
He lived in Panipat till death and served the people form there.
Hundreds drew spiritual or divine benefits from him. Besides,
he undertook to regular teaching and propagation of Islam. Hundreds
embraced Islam because of him. The Rajputs, who lived around,
were the great beneficiaries. He left a deep impact on the royal
dynasty of Delhi, and preached them of good conduct.
One day a disciple of Shamsuddin Turk went to the city on an
errand and saw Boo Ali Shah riding a lion and retold the episode
to his teacher. Shamsuddin Turk said to his disciple, "Go
to the residence of Boo Ali Shah and if you see him riding the
lion, tell him: "The lion should live in the jungle."
The disciple obeyed, found Hazrat Boo Ali Shah in the condition
and conveyed his teacher's message. He rose from his place immediately
and went to Ghote.
Death- It is mentioned in 'Sair-Ul-Akhtab' that he died on 17,
Ramazul Mubarak 724 Hijri at Budha Khera but lay to rest in
Panipat instead.
