Sir Abdul Rehman Shah’s family name is Iman Shah and his father’s name is Fateh Muhammad Shah known as Fateh Din Shah and his uncle Syed Mir Muhammad Shah known as Bachal Shah (whose there is a shrine in Samaru where Durood Pak Mehfil is held on the night of the 17th of every moon.
He was the grandson of Syed Fazl Shah known as Fazl Shah, he was the son-in-law of Latif Shah, the uncle of Hashim Shah Swaim, and the brother of Hazrat Bibi Mithi Rahmatullah Alaihi (where Durood Pak festival is held every month on the 27th night of the moon).
He was very kind and gentle, their blessed faces were round, their eyes were big, their blessed hair was long and long. He always used to wear black Khamis, white shalwar and white chador, they got married at a young age, from which they had a son named Jan Muhammad Shah. They had close relations with the ruling Mirs of that time, who always kept the Saint with them. Mirin built a seminary, a mosque and a large guest house on his land. He spent most of his time teaching and preaching Islam. Besides being a perfect saint, he was also a great Aamil. People used to come from far and wide to Dua. An enemy killed him with a dagger on 7 Safar 1285 Hijri at the age of 35 at the place where his shrine is today.
According to their will, it was kept where the shrine is, where later, with the help of Anjuman Ghulaman Qalandar Welfare Sindh Pakistan, Mr. Muhammad Ali Baloch built a beautiful shrine. After the death of Saeed Muhammad Ali Baloch, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the Mehfil of Durood Pak was announced on the night of the 29th of every moon.
Sain Muhammad Ali was inquisitive about spiritualism and had the thirst for Sufism right from his childhood. Since young age, he had been constantly searching for a Murshid, until in 1964, his quest led him to the shrine of Saeen Abdul Rehman Shah (RA). Regardless of the weather or any hardship, he continued to perform his spiritual duties at the shrine of Saeen Abdul Rehman Shah (RA). He performed his duties so diligently that one day, according to him, Saeen Abdul Rehman Shah (RA) himself came physically out of his grave hugged him and transferred spiritual knowledge to him. He then said “From today onwards, I am handing you over to Ahmed Ali Qureshi (RA), the loyal servant of Hazrat La’al Shahbaz Qalandar. From now on, he will continue to guide you on your spiritual journey.” As commanded by Saeen Abdul Rehman Shah (RA), Sain Muhammad Ali Baloch went to Sehwan Sharif, came in the presence of Saeen Ahmed Ali Qureshi (RA), and conveyed his Murshid’s message to him. In addition to teaching him the Durood Pak, Saeen Ahmed Ali Qureshi (RA) also spiritually presented him to the blessed court of La’al Shahbaz Qalandar (RA). It was from here that he gained the blessed access to Prophet Muhammad’s court, (PBUH) and was tasked with preaching of Durood Pak. Baba Saeen Ahmed Ali Qureshi (RA) established the Anjuman Ghulaman-e-Qalandar in 1988, and appointed Saeen Muhammad Ali (RA) as its president. History will remember that Sain Muhammad Ali (RA) faithfully practiced whatever he learnt from his Murshid throughout his life. From Sindh to Punjab, Balochistan, and from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to abroad from the heights of mountains to the depth of the seas, and from the plains to the deserts, Sain Muhammad Ali spread the blessings of Durood Pak to the entire world. A poet once said, “My beloved has commended me to keep on moving forward, and I continued to walk regardless of the weather and terrain, until the angel of death came and knocked on my door”. Of course, he was Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) beloved, and apple of the eye of Baba La’al Saeen (RA) and Saeen Ahmed Ali Qureshi (RA) and will remain forever.
