He was the spiritual successor of his father Hazrat Shaikh Syed Abdul Jaleel al-Gilaani al-Qadri (رضی اللہ). The faiz which he received from Huzoor Ghous Pak (رضی اللہ) made him a great saint of Qadri Silsila.

He came to India. He received the instruction from Huzoor Ghous Pak (رضی اللہ) in his dreams to go to India and Initiate Hazrat Sarkar Shah Niaz Be-Niaz (رضی اللہ) in Qadri order and make him his spiritual successor (Khalifa). Similarly Hazrat Khuwaja Fakhar Uddin Fakhar Pak (رضی اللہ) in his dream Huzoor Ghous Pak (رضی اللہ) has introduced him to a certain person (closely related to him) who would be sent to initiate Hazrat Sarkar Shah Niaz Be-Niaz (رضی اللہ) as his disciple and Hazrat Khuwaja Fakhar Uddin Fakhar Pak (رضی اللہ) should have accepted him by the person.

Hazrat Khuwaja Fakhar Uddin Fakhar Pak (رضی اللہ) placed a tray full of sweets on his head and holding the hand of Hazrat Sarkar Shah Niaz Be-Niaz (رضی اللہ) went to Jama Masjid Delhi, where Hazrat Shaikh Syed Abdullah Bughdadi al-Gilaani al-Qadri (رضی اللہ) was staying.

Hazrat Sarkar Shah Niaz Be-Niaz (رضی اللہ) recognized Hazrat Shaikh Syed Abdullah Bughdadi al-Gilaani al-Qadri (رضی اللہ) at once and placed the tray in front of him. Hazrat Sarkar Shah Niaz Be-Niaz (رضی اللہ) was accepted by Hazrat Shaikh Syed Abdullah Bughdadi al-Gilaani al-Qadri (رضی اللہ) as his spiritual disciple in front of huge crowd in the arch of Jama Masjid.
