Allauddin Ali Ahmad Sabir Kaliyari

Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari was born on 19 Rabi al-awwal, 592 Hijri (1196) in Herat to Jamila Khatun, who was the elder sister of Baba Fareed. After the death of his father Syed Abul Rahim, in 1204, his mother brought him to Pakpattan to Baba Fareed, who then made him his disciple and put him in charge of the langar.[2][3]

When Alauddin's mother visited him after a long time, she found him weak, prompting her to demand an explanation from Baba Fareed. Baba Fareed explained that he was made in charge of the kitchen and hence had no shortage of food.

Alauddin explained that although he was in charge of the kitchen, he refrained from eating from it. Instead, he sustained himself by foraging in the jungle during his free time. Impressed by his perseverance, he was then given the title Sabir (lit. patient).[4][5]

In 1253 AD, after being appointed as the protector of Kaliyar Sharif by Baba Fareed, Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari reached Kaliyar and remained there for the rest of his life, passing away on the 13th of Rabi al-awwal, 690 Hijri (1291).
