    Early life and Bayat


    Both spiritual leaders were originally from Shaam (present-day Syria). While performing the holy Hajj, they met Sheikh-E-Azam Shah Kalim Allah Jahanabadi in Makkah(Makkah Al Mukarramah). Sheikh Kaleemullah Jahanabadi was a disciple of renowned Al-Qutub Sheikh Yahya Madani hailing from Medina.
    Yousufain Sharifian accepted Bayat (solemn vow of discipleship and covenant faith) of Sheikh Kaleem-ullah Jahanabadi. Yousufain Sharifain followed their spiritual master to Delhi instead of returning home to Syria.

    Sheik Kaleemullah Jahanabadi was a Sufi saint and all his life he spread teachings of Islam and silsila chist. His fame is equally spread among the followers of all religions in Delhi and extends to Deccan region. The blessed Sheikh always said make my soul happy by spreading a teachings of silsila chishtia, rather than giving treasure to his family. His teachings were equally popular in civil society as well as armed forces (lashkar). Most of his mureeds(disciples) and Khalifa's(successors) were in army, including Yousufain Sharifain. During the Deccan conquest by Moghals, their hidden identity was revealed to the Moghal King Aurangzeb. After they conquered Deccan they left armed forces and decided to stay in Hyderabad to propagate teaching of Islam. When they died, they were buried in a village called Nampally, which is now in the core area of the city of Hyderabad.
