Childhood
Hazrat Peer Syed Ahmad Shah Qadri's parents died when he was 4 or 5 years old. Due to his parent’s death at an early age, his heart became hard.
Allegiance and Tourism
When he was seven or eight years old, he was esoterically ordered to reach Peshawar. Therefore, barely he reached Peshawar on foot from Jalalabad. Coincidentally, Hazrat Sultan Noor Ahmad Qadri, whose lineage is traced back to Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arfeen Sultan Bahoo (RA), visited Peshawar in those days for tourism and preaching. He attended his service and asked for allegiance. Sultan Sahib smiled and said with great compassion that son this path is very difficult; you are still a child. Think you will be able to afford this time at this age? He confessed and insisted on swearing allegiance but Hazrat Sultan Noor Ahmad Qadri (RA) remained silent.
He used to follow Hazrat Sultan Noor Ahmad Qadri. Every moment he kept looking at Hazrat Sultan Noor Ahmad Qadri’s face. His visit was the acquired faith for him. As if this was his prayer and this was his ablution.
About four or five years later, when he was twelve or thirteen years old, Hazrat Sultan Sahib swore allegiance and warned that the duty would be taken severely. He acknowledged and said, “The slave is present in every way”. Then he ordered how much you have to spend time on each kingdom of land. At the same time, he looked and created a state of fascination in him. He remained fascinated until the age of eighty-five. During this time, he did not eat any grain and dwelled in forests and deserts.
As per the order given by his spiritual guide, he traveled and stayed for the fixed period of time time of period all over the world including England, Russia, Germany, Iraq, Japan, Italy, France, Burma, Baghdad Sharif, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Syria, Iran, India, Pakistan, Bengal, Kangra district|Kangra, Ajmer Sharif, Bahawalpur, Nawabshah, Lyallpur (Faisalabad), Lahore, Mailsi, Jallah Jeem.

In the time of fascination, he spent his life eating wild fruits like Salvadora persica, daley, and other such wild fruits which were available. The hair had grown to such an extent that it became almost equal to the height - the nails also grew a lot.
On the evening of the eleventh day of every lunar month, he would automatically recover from fascination. On that day, people would automatically gather around him. Every month, he offered khatam Shareef and distribute it equally among the people of all religions without any distinction. After eighty-five years later, he regained consciousness. Most of his life was spent in a world of fascination, so he remained single.
