Abdur Rehman Shah Sailani (1871 – 16 December 1906), commonly known as Sailani Baba, was a Sufi saint of the Naqshbandi order.[1] He hailed from the Buldhana district in Maharashtra, India. His revered mausoleum, known as Sailani Baba Dargah, is located in the same district.[2][3]
Background
editSailani Baba was born into a wealthy family, with his father, Kale Khan, being a businessman in Delhi. After years of childlessness, Kale Khan and his wife were blessed with a son, who later became known as Sailani Baba, thanks to the prayers of a Sufi.[4]
During his childhood and early teenage years, Sailani Baba developed a keen interest in wrestling. To pursue this passion, he moved from Delhi to the Deccan region, where he trained under Noor Miyan, a well-known wrestler from Balapur. Having mastered the sport, he subsequently traveled to Hyderabad.[5]
It was in Hyderabad that Sailani Baba's spiritual journey began. He met a Sufi Fakir who inspired him to embrace Sufism. Guided by the Sufi Fakir, he traveled to Nanded, Maharashtra, to seek the blessings of Sufi saints. Among those who imparted to him the spiritual blessings were Qutub Shah and Khairuddin Makhdoom Mujarrad.[6]
Deeply impressed by Khairuddin Mujarrad, Sailani Baba took an oath of allegiance under his guidance in the woods near Chopda.[7] He spent considerable time in the Khanqah (Sufi dormitory) of Khairuddin Mujarrad, immersing himself in the spiritual teachings and practices.[8]
