Spiritual history:

During his earlier years, one of his interests was theater. During a stage performance as a female character he received a Nida (Divine saying) that said “you were not born to do this”. Soon after the incident he left theater and started searching for a Peer-e-Kamil (Perfect Spiritual Guide). One day during the Asr salah, as soon as the salam was performed he was shown a brief glance of Hazrat Abdul Majeed Fana Shah Quadriرح ‎ via his inner vision. He then decided if he meets Hazrat Abdul Majeed Fana Shah Quadriرح ‎ within the next 24 hours he would become his disciple. Few moments later he finds Hazrat Fana Shah Quadriرح ‎ in a marketplace.
