He enlightened those people with the mild of Islam, and taught these people about Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) and Ahl-ul-Bayt-e-Muhammad (A.S.) (Prophet’s Family).

After Dadu, Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar arrived in Sehwan. Where ever he went he preached teachings of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) and Ahl-ul-Bayt-e-Muhammad (A.S.) (Prophet’s Family). He taught people approximately how to mourn for the King of Martyrs Imam-e-Hussain (A.S.) and the way Hazrat Imam-e-Hussain (A.S.) became martyred. Most of his preaching is about this tragic loss of Prophet’s Grandson and Imam Ali (A.S.)’s Son. He also taught humans approximately how so known as Muslims of the time became towards the actual Islamic authority Imam-e-Hussain (A.S.). He taught humans to like Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) and Ahl-ul-Bayt-e-Muhammad (A.S.) (Prophet’s Family).

While in Sehwan:

When he first arrived he stayed out of the town consistent with some sayings it's miles call Lal Bagh (Red Garden) that's toward south-jap aspect. Inside the city of Sehwan, Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar had  disciples, Boodla Bahaar and Sachal Sarmast. It is stated that Boodla Bahaar had a completely lengthy beard with which he used to easy up the place of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.

At the time of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar’s arrival at Sehwan, Sehwan turned into centre of evilness. Boodla Bahaar and Sachal Sarmast had been appointed by means of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar to preach within the metropolis and their responsibility was to move stand and every nook and nook and say “Ali Haq” (Imam-Ali (A.S.) ibn-e-Abi-Talib (A.S.) is the final Truth).

Some Miracles of Qalandar:

One day king of the citadel ordered his soldiers to convey him the person (Boodla Bahaar) who says “Ali Haq”. Once Boodla Bahaar became arrested he became offered to the king, he asked Boodla Bahaar prevent saying “Ali Haq” Boodla Bahaar spoke back “Ali Haq” and I will no longer forestall. King got angry and asked his soldiers to kill Boodla Bahaar and make mince of his meat and then distribute it and throw it away (in line with a few sayings the squaddies ate the meat).

(there may be a saying that once Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar used to name Boodla Bahaar he responded “Aya Sarkar” (I am coming my Lord!)). When Boodla Bahaar didn’t return for a long time Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar inquired and discovered out what occurred he stated “Boodla Bahaar” and wherein ever the meat of Boodla Bahaar became it replied “Aya Sarkar” (Coming My Lord!) and the meat accrued and grew to become back into Boodla Bahaar. Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar despatched him once more to evangelise those human beings and the equal component befell again. Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar once more achieved the equal miracle an

d after 0.33 time Qalandar stated that these people of fort and their king will now not pay attention and preserve destroying lives and freedom of innocents, Hence after the third time he gave his “Mutahir” (A strong baseball bat kind stick) to Boodla Bahaar and advised him to turn it the other way up at the same time as searching at the Fort and as Boodla Bahaar grew to become it all of the fortress was grew to become the wrong way up (this is clear from the fortress stays). Later on a person asked Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar why didn’t he do it himself, Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar replied I turned into holding directly to the earth as if I haven’t stopped it the entire earth would have long gone

One day a man was wandering within the wasteland and he noticed every other guy (Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar) praying inside the desolate tract and two sticks a brief distance apart sticking into ground in the front of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. That man was dreamt about turning into a king someday and he became in these mind while he handed in between the 2 sticks buried midway into the floor in the front of Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.

As soon as he surpassed he noticed a huge door from which he had entered into a metropolis, wherein a big crowd changed into accumulated. He turned into amazed and went on to see what become going on. Someone told him that their king died without leaving any successor and for this reason “Huma” (A bird, which was set to fly and on whose ever head it landed turned into made the King. That’s why every now and then a king became referred, in antique times as, Zil-e-Huma which supposed “Huma’s Shadow”) changed into being flown to select a king. Huma made its flight and sat in this character’s head and he became made a King.

It is said he reigned for 7 years and someday he became journeying city when he came across the equal door from which he entered all those years ago. He decided to check and left the door as soon as he became out of door he once more walked returned in between from those two sticks. Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar changed into still sitting there and praying. (This miracle shows, in step with my knowledge,  things first, Qalandar had manage over Dimensions, and secondly Qalandar granted him what that individual wished for.)

As the Qalandar approach “Free/Free of Boundaries” it's miles a commonplace known truth that Qalandar could let himself unfastened from the electricity of gravitational pull and as a result used to fly and that’s another reason he turned into called Shahbaz “Falcon”.

Teachings:

Qalandar in his lifestyles taught people about the true Islam. Mourning on Prophet’s Family and taught humans on the way to mourn. His fundamental training have been no longer to depart Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.), Imam Ali (A.S.) and Prophet’s Family as, as quickly as one left prophet and his own family one is certain to head on a incorrect path.

In most of his teachings, which is clear from his poetry, he emphasised on following Imam Ali (A.S.) and mourning for Imam-e-Hussain (A.S.). At the give up of this newsletter I would love to cite one of the Qalandar’s well-known Persian verses showing his devotion, love and honour for Imam Ali (A.S.), and are engraved on Hazrat Lal Shahbaz Qalandar’s shrine:

Haidariam Qalandaram Mastam

Banda-e-Murtaza Ali Hastam

Peshwa-e-Tamam Rindhanam

Keh Sag-e-Koo-e-Sher-e-Yazdanam

Translation:

I am Haidery (Relating to Haider, a 2nd call for Imam Ali (A.S.) ibn-e Abu Talib (A.S.)), Qalandar (Free, Free of Boundaries, One who has Control on Dimensions) and Mast (Intoxicated with thought)

I am slave of Imam Ali Murtaza (A.S.)

I am chief of all saints

Because I am the dog, of the street, of “Allah’s Lion” (relating to Imam Ali (A.S.) ibn-e.
