Birth: The Hazrat was born in 1084 in Peshawar.

Education: The Hazrat got his education under the supervision of his father. When he reached to the age of 07, the Hazrat tried hard to memorize the holy Quran but he was unable to do so.

Obtainment  of mysticism: When the Hazrat disengaged from lore, his father, Hazrat Syed Hassan Badshah Sahib started to teach him mysticism.

He performed four chilla (a practice involving withdrawal ('uzla) from ordinary social interaction for the purpose of dedicating oneself wholly to spiritual exercises & ascetical disciplines for a period of forty days). Then the Hazrat remained un-diverted in one place for six years & meditated. After six years, the hazrat was granted charter of Khilafat.

CHARTER OF KHILAFAT: Glory & Honor belongs to Allah, Glorified & Praised who gifted mankind with the light of insight & elevated man from his other creatures & peace of Allah be upon the last Messenger & Prophets, Muhammad & his companions & on Hazrat Syed Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gillani.

Miracle of the Hazrat: while on his way to Lahore, on the station of Attock, a Mahatma with his disciples came to Hazrat. He had the formula of making gold & wanted the hazrat to take it & make as much gold as he wants so that he could feed the thousands of people coming to the table of the Hazrat. The Hazrat threw the formula to the river. The Mahatma was very sad with this. The Hazrat then pointed to the River & the river started to throw tons of gold. The Mahatma was so much impresses with this event that he alongwith his disciples accepted islam. The Mahatma  later in his life reached to the post of Khalifa.

When emperor Muhammad Shah reached Peshawar he asked if there is any saint (Wali Ullah) ho could be requested for pray & success. People told him about the Hazrat. He then wrote a letter to Hazrat asking him to come to Peshawar. The Hazrat replied that this is not his way. The king got angry & again wrote r to Hazrat but the Hazrat replied the same. Then the king requested the Hazrat for to pray for him. The Hazrat did Dua & the water level in the sea sat. the king then came to Peshawar & met with Hazrat with respect.
