Qalanderi
Order started from Abdul Aziz Makki. (Some Sufis are of the view that it
started from Zunnoon Misri.) He comes of the line of Prophet Saleh. When he
come to know of the coming of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), he implored to God to
let him see his age. God acceded to his request and granted him the opportunity
of seeing the age of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and he embraced Islam at the hands of
Holy Prophet (PBUH) and he gave the name of Qalander. It is stated in the book
"Munaqab-e-Qalanderiyat" that there was a place called ' Suffa' in
Masjid-e-Nabvi, where devoted companions used to reside and were called Ashabe-Suffa,
Abdul Aziz Makki was one of those companions of Holy Prophet (PBUH).
A person whom God blesses as Qalander become liberated from the constraints and limitations of Time and Space and all livings are subjugated to him and when people ask something from them they selflessly serve them because nature blesses them for the very same cause. It has been stated about such people, "Indeed, I befriend my Servants and become their ears, eyes and tongue and then they hear, see and say things."
