Imam Hassan Ukhra Muhammad Azeem Barkhiya (1898 – 27 January 1979) (Urdu: امام حسن اخرٰی محمد عظیم برخیا), commonly referred to as Qalandar Baba Auliya[1] (Urdu: قلندر بابا اولیاء), was the founding Imam and Spiritual Master of the Azeemiyya Sufi Order, which takes its name from him.[2] He was a Scholar of Tassawuf, and is considered to be of the Abdāl, commonly being known by his honorific "Abdāl Haqq" (Urdu: ابدال حق).[3]
He appointed Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi as head of the Silsila, and passed on 27 January 1979. Every January, his Urs (Death Anniversary) is conducted in which members of the Silsila congregate to recite the Quran and conduct gathering on matters of Tassawuf.[4] His resting place is located in the Shadman district of Karachi, Pakistan.[5]
