Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya gained his primary education from the local school of the town. He went to high school in Buland Shehr. After completing his high school education he went to Aligarh Muslim University in Aligarh.

God makes proper arrangements for the training of the selected. Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya was no exception. During his stay in Aligarh an inclination towards spirituality developed in him. He started spending alot of his time at the shrine of the Sufi Maulana Kabli. He used to go there early in the morning and would come back late in the evening.

After this, Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya spent nine years receiving spiritual training from his maternal grandfather Baba Tajuddin Nagpuri, who was a great saint and often referred to as a teacher of teachers After the partition of the subcontinent he moved to Karachi. He chose journalism as a career and was appointed the sub-editor of the Daily Urdu Dawn newspaper.

In 1956 when Qutab-e-Arshad Hazrat Abu’al Faiz Qalandar Ali Suharwardi visited Karachi, Qalandar Baba Auliya requested him to accept him as one of his disciples. Hazrat Abu’al Faiz Qalandar Ali Suharwardi completed the course of teachings of Qutab-e-Arshad in three weeks and declared him as his Khalifa (delegate).

Further spiritual education was imparted to Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya by the holy soul of the blessed Shaikh Najamuddin Kubra (D: 1189CE). This enabled him to rise to the point where he received the highest form of Divine Knowledge (Ilm-e-Ludduni) directly from the Holy Prophet. He was accorded the opportunity of appearing before the Lord Creator, God Himself, Who then taught him knowledge of His mysteries and secrets.
