It deems befitting that before highlighting the events of Qalander Baba Auliya’s life and his wonder-working, we should explain the word Qalander so that we could have an idea of his position so that the understanding of the events and happenings narrated therein could be focused upon and properly comprehended.

Qalander is a person who has excelled in seeing things and advances stage by stage into the Being. He even rises above the Administrative System and witnesses the core of Oneness in detail and after enjoying the Unity of the Being returns back without losing his grades and then reaches back into his humanly status, so much so that his rise and fall becomes one and the same thing for him.. He witnesses part in the whole and sees the whole in the part and, then, after detaching himself from all this, plunges into a state of ecstasy.

Status of a Qalander is even higher than the loved ones because duality remains there even in that state, i.e. one is the loved one and the other is the loving. In Qalanderiyat there is no duality.
God has stated in the holy Quran; “Over their hands is the Hand of Allah,” although it was the hand of Holy Prophet at the time of submission by the companions that was over the hands of his companions. This was the state of Unity with God and that there had been no duality left so God terms his hand being His Hand.

Yet at another place it is stated, “0 Prophet! The dust that thou threw was not you that threw the dust but it was God who threw the dust.”

Here, too, God has declared an action of the Prophet being His action.
