  • History:
    Bari Imam was eight years old when his family migrated to what is now Aabpara, Islamabad in Pakistan. According to some sources, he later married and had one daughter, though both women are said to have died prematurely.After their passing, Bari Imam began wandering the forests of the Hazara district in Northern Punjab, where he spent twenty-four years as an ascetic.Although formally initiated into a branch of the Qadiriyya spiritual order begun by the 11th-century Hanbali jurist and mystic Abdul-Qadir Gilani (d. 1166), Bari Imam was primarily renowned as a great mystic in the Qalandariyya tradition of wandering dervishes, who were known for their frequent displays of spiritual ecstasy and their status as "holy fools for God."Despite, however, his often-enraptured nature, Bari Imam consistently upheld all the formal prescriptions of Islamic law, and never allowed his mysticism to "contravene" the law of God. As such, he adhered to the Hanafi school of orthodox Sunni jurisprudence in matters of the law.
    As was often the case with the Qalandariyya dervishes, Bari Imam did not transmit any of his doctrines to writing; as such, it may be rightly presumed that he bequeathed all of his teachings orally.Bari Imam was renowned in his own life for being an ascetic who subjected himself to great self-humiliation in the public sphere, "living among the pariahs and consciously exposing himself to the disdain of the people.A celebrated miracle worker, Bari Imam is also described in regional lore as one through whom God performed many marvels to convince the local people of the truth of Islam; thus, some of the most popular miracles ascribed to him are his having caused water to gush forth from rocks and his having brought back to life the dead buffaloes of a peasant who had earlier provided the saint with milk during his ten years of spiritual seclusion.The Shrine:The shrine of Bari Imam in Islamabad The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (r. 1658-1707) originally built the silver-mirrored shrine of Bari Imam. It has since been renovated many times, and is now maintained by the Government of Pakistan. Until the 1960s, the shrine was famous for its urs celebration, when the death anniversary of the saint was commemorated and which was attended by hundreds of thousands of people each year
