Dhuliana "also known as Dhuliana Sharif" is a small settlement near
Hujra Shah Muqim , a few KM away from
Shamsabad where the darbar sharif is located .
Hazrat Shams Ali Qalandar didn't had any abode , he used to roam in different areas . After he was bestowed with the title of
"Qalandar" , he was asked to move to this place. He had changed his scholarly attire into Qalandari according to the desire of God, ( A hadith related to this)
Abu Huraira Radi allaho anho reported Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) as saying: Many a person with disheveled hair and covered with dust is turned away from the doors (whereas he is held in such a high esteem by Allah) that if he were to adjure in the name of Allah (about anything) Allah would fulfil that.
Sahih Muslim Book 032, Number 6351
, when he came to Dhuliana no one was aware of his
spiritual & intellectual level. This place was famous for thieves and bandits,their was a state of immorality in the community ,people were unaware of the teachings of
Islam.
The locals initially gave him a place to stay and provided food for someday's, they considered him an ordinary
dervaish/
malang who has no place to live , they taunted him and maltreated him , after someday's they stopped giving him food on the reason that we have not seen Sayeen offering prayer , if he would offer prayer in front of them , they would give food otherwise not.
But as
Sayeen Shams Ali was doing as he was instructed by
Allah Almighty and nor his free will , when one group stopped offering another one would feel pity and offer food . The groups against Sayeen would instigate these people to force sayeen to offer prayers. In this way the cycle went on & on Sayeen withstood these conditions patiently,as it was the will of God , and with time people started became aware of his Spiritual stature , the faiz of Sayeen Shams Ali Qalandar started in this area . But the opposition continued too.
Once his opponents planned , that he being all alone, no one knowing the dervaish outside nor came to meet him and that he is a burden on us ,we have not seen him pray & people are getting influenced by him , why not kill him . They fixed a night and a group gathered that night to kill him , but when they reached his abode they were dumb founded by what they saw , " The body of Hazrat Shams Ali Qalandar was scattered and each body part was doing
Zikar loudly . The people were scared to death when they saw this and quickly left the place , only to return the following morning and asked for forgiveness.
Later he was given a Hujra in the local mosque of Dhuliana , where he lived , performed his azkar but his opposition continued. The new one being the Mullah of Mosque.

As Sayeen Shams Ali Qalandar was a learned scholar & well versed with Shariah but due to his attire people were unaware of it , Sayeen would correct the Mullah whenever he made a mistake during the recitation of Quran , or Lectures etc . This made the Mullah angry that how someone who doesn't appear to offer prayer is able to correct or point at me .
Similarly during his stay at the hujra , as usual someone would give him food and his opponents would force that person to withdraw. These days a local women who was inspired by the faqeer would offer him food , she would come everyday to his
hujra to offer him food. She too was forced by the opponents to withdraw but when she refused , they devised with a strategy. They planned to close the door of
mosque when the women went to give food & would gather the locals , and make a (false ) allegation that the
faqeer is no saint he has an affair with the women. They made their plans but Allah too protects his friends. The opponents did what they had planned when the women went to give food , they locked to doors of entrance from outside , and were beaming with joy that their plan has succeeded as the women couldn't leave from any other-way and called the locals to witness . But to their astonishment and dismay there was no women to be found when the door was opened .
People also observed several other Karamat/Miracles of Sayeen Qalandar Pak . Once a local, aged couple came to him and asked him to pray as they were without any offspring to keep their name afterwards. Sayeen prayed for them and disclosed to them that that they will have a child by Gods will . And also asked them to call a Dhol wala and have the drum beaten . Usually this is done on the occasions of Happiness or for making announcement . Hearing the
dhol when the people came to know about what Sayeen had said to the couple , they jested & teased the couple that the faqeer is mad how can you have a child in this old age , this is against the laws of nature , the faqeer is giving you false hope.
But these people were unaware of the fact that Allah never turns down the words of his beloved people , as Allah Almighty says in Hadith Qudsi
On the authority of Abu Huraira who said: The Messenger of Allah (upon whom be Allah’s blessings and peace) said: “Allah the Almighty has said, ‘Whoever has mutual animosity with a friend (wali) of Mine, I declare war upon him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties that I have imposed upon him; and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory work such that I love him. And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks. Were he to ask of Me, I would surely give him; and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.” (Recorded in al-Bukhari)
Just as the Sayeen had said the
couple was blessed with a boy , and this event became famous in the area.
Once Sayeen went to see a person at his house, their he encountered a middle aged women who started putting sarcastic remarks and questions and taunted him . Sayeen faced her calmly and tried to answer her queries , and returned .
As he left the place , the inside world of the women changed , her emotional state became unstable she became agitated and nervous .She left her home and went to Sayeen Shams Ali , described her state of distress and asked him for forgiveness , as she had maltreated him . Sayeen accepted . Such a change occured in that women that she started serving Sayeen Shams Ali , would offer him food and follow his every instruction . Sayeen gave her spiritual faiz and gave her the glad tiding of the Maqam of Nisf Qalandar ( Half Qalandar) . Her name is Mayi Noora & her grave is located in the enclosure of Darbar Sharif.
Sayeen Shams Ali taught the people here the basics of islam , the locals were even unaware of how to perform wudu . Also spread the spiritual faiz gradually the the area which previously was famous for thieves became an abode of learned people and came to be known as Dhulina Sharif .
Sayeen Shams Ali was always busy in the remembrance of Allah , he continuously recited
Surah Muzamil day & night (paused only for the call of nature) ,
Qasidah Ghosia and
Durood Sharif.
There is a saying among Sufis " Jo Dumm Ghafil So Dum Kafir" i.e the moment you are distracted from the remembrance of Allah you become non-believer" . So sufis remain always in the remembrance of Allah.
Also the normal persons pray five time a day , but the prayer of Sufis is continuous !
The spiritual faiz of Sayeen Shams Ali Qalandar is like an ocean , thousands have benefited from it, and continue too this day.
