Badshah Qadri Is Also known As Quadeer Allah By His Followers.
Badshah Quadri was born in Raichur, Karnataka, India, during Bakrid on the 10th day of Dhul Hijja, on a Friday, to a Syed family which originally came from Yemen. His family trace their descent from Hasan ibn Ali, the first grandson of Muhammad.
At an early age, Badshah Quadri became a disciple of his paternal uncle Shah Nabi Mohiuddeen Quadri, of the Chisti order, who was then a renowned Chisti elder. He later became a disciple of Shaikh Karimullah Shah Qadri. Before Karimullah died, he passed the role of Pir, the leadership of the Quadeeriya and Chishti traditions, to Badshah Quadri.
Badshah Quadri is entombed in Halkatta Shareef outside of Wadi in the Gulbarga District of Karnataka. His work is continued there by his son and successor(currently his grandson Syed Abu Turab shah Quadri) . There is an annual festival or urs for Badesha Quadri and thousands of his followers travel to Halkatta Shareef for it.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mohammad Badshah Qadri” as sufi saint of the Qadiriyya & Chisti order in India. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as sufi saint of the Qadiriyya & Chisti order in India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16008441. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1903, 1324 and 1978.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
