Before his demise Qalander Baba Auliya live just one cup of milk in 24 hours for eight months and too was stopped in his last three days. Whenever he was requested to have at least some water, he would forbid by moving his finger. Before one week he declared that he would not survive for more than a week. The day when he passed away, in the morning, he told his son-in law; Mohammad Jamil to stay at home and then at noon again said, you please stay with me,                    my feet have become lifeless. Three hour before his expiry he asked to see Khwaja Sahib. When he came asked him to shake hand with him. This he never said to anyone before that. Siraj Sahib asked for permission to leave one hour before he breath his last.              Qalander Baba Auliya said, "Ok, go now, but, do come in the morning."

Khanqah e-Azeemia

We have to take into consideration while we would be surveying the institutions of knowledge and excellence. These centers are named as Zavia or Khanqah. In the initial era of. Islam, these were the places                 where Sufis used to gather and perform Muraqbas and other spiritual exercises. Students were taught to make use of their insight and learn things which are not reported into books.

After relinquishing their conjectural knowledge aside, they would be pleased to ponder and meditate in the light of the instructions of their mentors. Thus, the Sufi Centers, in actual effect, were the centers of             learning where they would learn the spiritual science or the knowledge that is related to with the inner self of man and for which                 mind and soul needs to be purged.

After the invasions of Mongols, these centers of Sufis took a permanent for of the spiritual learning. After Mongol                  invasion no institution of society was able to undertake the Herculean task of reform and reconstruction except the Sufis that could be               called the fearless segment of the society.

Karachi is the largest city of Pakistan and the best of all her distinctions is that Qalander Baba Auliya lived here and has been laid to rest. If Lahore is proud to be the city of Data Gunj Bukhsh, Karachi can                   rightly be proud to be the city of Qalander Baba Auliya.

Mausoleum of Qalander Baba Auliya, in Shadman Town, is a source of                 inspiration for the people where people come to find peace of mind and solace for their anxious souls. God accede to the                              prayers of people who visit the shrine of the Friend of God to pay homage. They return with hearts filled with love and satisfaction.                     It is the place where the negative feelings cannot find their way into the hearts of the people.
