SYED SHAHUL HAMEED QADIRI ( QADIRI ) QADIR WALI GHANJASAVOY,GHANJABAKSH NAGORI,
of Nagore Dargha ( Nagore Dargah) Sheriff.
This Famous Holy Saint was born in Manickkapur near Ayodhya in the northern Indian
state of U.P. on a blessed Friday early morning in the Arabic month of 10th Jamathul
Akhir Hijiri 910 (1491-A.D.)The Holy Saint was the 23rd lineal descendant of the
Holy Prophet MOHAMMED (S.A.W the peace upon him). His father was HAZARATH SYED
HASAN KHUDDOOS SAHIB and his mother BEEBI FATHIMA.
Even before his birth, a messenger of God appeared before his mother Beebi Fathima
in a dream and predicted that she would be blessed with a son who would be the
Savior of people and spend his life to spread Ilam. Even as a child he showed
signs of great wisdom, intense piety and divine communication before he was eight
years old and learnt Arabic language and its grammar. He went in search of a religious
preceptor (Master) who could educate him in solving the riddle and the secrecy
of the world and who could teach him more about the Almighty and his ways and
at his parent's desire, went to Gwalior to be initiated by HAZARATH SYED MOHAMED
GHOUSE SAHIB Gwalior in divine knowledge. 
After more
than a decade of training, he left Gwalior and went to Manickkapur with a bunch
of 404 disciples and then toured extensively with his disciples in Afghanistan,
Balusistan and other places of the world performing innumerable miracles on the
way by raising the dead, making the dump to speak and the lamb to walk and by
curing all kinds of incurable diseases.
On his way to Makkah (Saudi Arabia), he halted in a Mosque at Lahore where a rich
and respectable Mohammedan Kazi Hazarath Noordin Sahib approached him to be blessed
with a child. The Saint gave a chewed betel leaf to Noordin and instructed Noordin
to hand over to his wife Beebi Johara and ordained that she should swallow it
and remain separated from her husband for 40 days.He prayed to the Almighty to
bless Noordin with children, and also informed Noordin that the eldest son should
be dedicated to him as his son and asked Noordin to remain with him for 40 days
without seeing his wife.As per his blessings, Beebi Johara conceived and gave
birth to a son on the 12th of Rajab Hijiri 959 and the child was named SYED MOHAMMED
YOOSUF SAHIB as directed by the Holy Saint.
The child was properly educated and in his 7th year took leave of his parents
to go and meet his real father at Makkah as he heard a Divine Voice informing
him that his father (Hazarath Syed Shahul Hameed Qadir wali) was awaiting his
arrival at Makkah so he went to Makkah and joined his father there.The Saint,
his son and 404 followers-disciples visited Ponnani, Sri Lanka, Kayalpattinam,
Keelakarai and Thankasi and propagated Islam.

Lastly the

The King Achuthuppa Naikan, then ruler of Thanjavur was suffering from a grievous
and prolonged illness. The ministry of the King begged the Saint and requested
him to visit the palace and cure the ill of the King. The Saint was very much
moved went to the palace and found that a dove was made to suffer by black-magic,
with pin pricks all over its body and it was in a very unsafe condition and was
the cause of the King's ailment at once. He asked his son to bring the dove prayed
and removed one by one the pins in the body of the dove. After the removal of
the pins the King recovered and got well. The queen energized by the miraculous
cure of her husband fell on her knees before the Saint and begged the Saint to
bless them with children. The Saint accordingly blessed them with a fruitful progeny
and in return the King offered wealth and rich presents which the Saint did not
accept but only asked the King to give him a piece of land near the Sea-shore.
Accordingly
the King dedicated 30 acres of land called 'Heavenly' and submitted the same to
the Holy Saint on which the present buildings and premises of "Nagore Dargha
shrine" stands. He remained in the place till the end of his life with his
son.As per his instruction his son Hazarath SYED MOHAMMED YOOSUF SAHIB married
SYED SULTAN BEEVI AMMA SAHIBA Daughter of Khaja Mahadoom-ul-Yamani of west Nagore.
He got eight children-six males and two daughters.

and in the Arabic month of Rajab fasted there for 40 days in a pit covered with
a plank on which side the present Vanjoor Pallivasal stands and also fasted 40days
