Alauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir also known as Sabir Kaliyari was an Indian Sunni Muslim preacher and Sufi saint in the 13th century. He was nephew and successor to Baba Fareed, and the founder of Sabiriya branch of the Chishti Order. Today, his dargah (Sufi mausoleum) is located in Piran Kaliyar town, near Haridwar in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The dargah is one of the most revered shrines for Muslims in India, after Ajmer Sharif in Rajasthan.

Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari was the great grandson of Abdul Qadir Gilani. His father was Sayyid Abdus Salaam Abdur Rahim Jilani, son of Abdul Wahaab Jilani, eldest son of Abdul Qadir Jilani. His mother was Jamilah, elder sister of Fariduddin Ganjshakar and a direct descendant of second Rashidun caliph Umar al Farooq. Alauddin Sabir Kaliyari was born on 13 Rabi' al-awwal, 592 Hijri (1196). After the death of his father, his mother brought him to Pakpattan in 1204 to Baba Fareed.

Baba Fareed entrusted him with the duty of distribution of food (Langar). He accepted this duty happily and in between engaged himself in prayers. He dispensed with his duties well and also attended the discourse of Baba Freed Ganj-e-Shakar. Frequent and continuous fasting and eating leaves and wild food made him weak. When his mother came back again and saw him, she complained to his brother (Baba Fareed) about his weakness. Baba Fareed called upon him and asked the reason. Sabir Pak replied, “You ordered me to distribute the food and not to partake from it”. Baba Fareed embraced him happily and remarked, “He is sabir (Patient)”. From that day forth, He became famous with the name of “Sabir”.

He spent many years of his life with Baba Fareed and got religious and spiritual aspiration from Baba Fareed? Then Baba Fareed Masood Ganje Shakar? appointed him Khalifa(Successor) and sent him to Kaliyar (An Indian city situated in the province of Uttarakhand). At that time the King was Ala-ud-Din Khilji. His person was the source of many Miracles. His tomb is also known as “Piran-e-Kaliyar Sharif” stands at Kaliyar besides the Ganges River and seven kilometers from “Roorkee”. His shrine is the central spiritual point and source of blessings for Saints, Successors, Followers and people of all over the world. This order is known as “Chisti Sabri Order” by his reference and relation.

The Silsila Chishtia Sabria: The Chishti Sabri Order The order (Silsila-e-wala`et) started from Hazrat Ali Haider-e-Kar’rar and then this spiritual order continued through Khawaja Hasan Basri. This spiritual order further came to Chisht (name of a town) through successors of Khawaja Hasan Basri. Khawaja Abu Ishaq Shami Chishti was one of the saints of this order and also head of the Chishti Order. He was also called “Sar-e-Chishtian”. Khawaja Abu Ishaq Shami Chishti belonged to a town “Chisht” and called Chishti because of it. After many stages and through famous saints this Chisti Order reached a great saint Khawaja Moen-ud-Din Hasan Chishti Ajmeri and his successors Khawaja Qutab-ud-Din Bukhtiar Kaki Aoshi and Baba Fareed-ud-Din Masood Ganje Shakar of Pak Pattan Sharif.
There are many successors of Baba Fareed-ud-Din Masood Ganje Shakar and it is impossible to count them. But the “Qutabs” (religious mendicants) of Baba Fareed Ganje Shakar are twenty-two. The most famous religious and spiritual Qutabs are Sultan-ul-Aolia Khatum-ul-Arwah Syed Makhdum Ala-ud-Din Ali Ahmed Sabir Kaliyari and Mehboob-e-Elahi Khawaja Nizam-ud-Din Aulia.
The successors and followers of Khawaja Nizam-ud-Din Aulia are called “Chishti Nizami”. The successors and followers of Makhdum Ala-ud-Din Ali Ahmed Sabir are called “Chishti Sabri”.

This Chishti Sabri Order and its blessings reached to Hazrat Pir Saidan Shah Sabri of Kalas Sharif near Malikwal, District Sargodha (Pakistan) through Syed Mardan Ali Shah Chishti Sabri, who was a successor of Syed Ahmed Shah. Darbar Sabri Kalas Sharif is spreading the blessings and spirituality of Chishti Sabri Order to its followers and people. Pir Saidan Shah Sabri and his son Pir Gulzar Hussain Shah Sabri continued the mission of Hazrat Makhdum Sabir Pak. They spent their whole life to complete this mission. The present Pir Shamim Sabir Sabri (Saint of Darbar Sabri Kalas Sharif), the son of Pir Gulzar Hussain Shah Sabri is spreading the spiritual graces of the Chishti Sabri Order to the lovers of Makhdum Sabir Piya. In fact “Kalas Sharif” is attached directly to “Kaliyar Sharif” and is a sacred place for the grace and blessings of Makhdum Sabir Piya.
In Pakistan and throughout the world, the Sabri Silsila is also being spread through Hazrat Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali, rector of Darulehsan, Faisalabad. He has had a complete biography of Hazrat Sabir (whom he calls his ‘spiritual guide’) written by one of his mureeds (namely Haji Mohammed Bashir Ambalvi) which is available in both Urdu and English.

His resting place (Dargah) is located in Piran-e-Kaliyar Sharif, 7 km from Roorkee, in Haridwar district, besides Ganga canal, and is approachable by a metalled road. The tomb was built by Ibrahim Lodhi, a ruler of Delhi Sultanate.

A 15-day 'Urs' celebrations are held each year at the shrine, in the Rabi' al-awwal month of the Hijri calendar and the Dargah has become a symbol of national integration as people regardless of their religion, caste and creed throng it, in large numbers,

Every Urs is celebrated with a lot of fanfare on three main dates of 13th, 14th, and 15th in the Holy month of Rabi-ul-awwal in Kaliyar Sharif. After a glimpse of the moon of Rabi-ul-awwal, the head priest goes to his old house (in Kaliyar village). Inside the room, he reads the Khatam Sharif and walks out with a plate on his head. The plate has Mehandi and Dori in it. Next he goes to the Dargah and reads the Fatiha. After this the Dori is distributed to everyone. Qawwali-e-Makhdum Ali Ahmed Sabir Kaliyari (Salaam on Hazrat Sabir Piya) take place at the Dargah and the mood is festive.
