Hazrat Baba Qasim Sulemani R.A belongs to Peshawar and visited India during the Mughal era. Jahangir (being a disbeliever of saints and miraculous men) ordered arrest inside the Chunar Fort but many hundreds witnessed that Hazrat was sometimes offering prayers at the bank of Ganges, Hills or nearby forests (inspite of being jailed). King Jahangir called upon and saw himself the miracle. Bowed in front and immediately released him with great respect. Since 1015 Baba Hazrat Qasim Sulemani is at peace and rests there at Chunar.
