Even as a child he showed signs of great wisdom, intense piety and divine communication before he was eight years old and learnt Arabic language and its grammar. He went in search of a religious preceptor (Master) who could educate him in solving the riddle and the secrecy of the world and who could teach him more about the Almighty and his ways and at his parent's desire, went to Gwalior to be initiated by HAZARATH SYED MOHAMED GHOUSE SAHIB Gwalior in divine knowledge.

On his way to Makkah (Saudi Arabia), he halted in a Mosque at Lahore where a rich and respectable Mohammedan Kazi Hazarath Noordin Sahib approached him to be blessed with a child. The Saint gave a chewed betel leaf to Noordin and instructed Noordin to hand over to his wife Beebi Johara and ordained that she should swallow it and remain separated from her husband for 40 days.He prayed to the Almighty to bless Noordin with children, and also informed Noordin that the eldest son should be dedicated to him as his son and asked Noordin to remain with him for 40 days without seeing his wife.As per his blessings, Beebi Johara conceived and gave birth to a son on the 12th of Rajab Hijiri 959 and the child was named SYED MOHAMMED YOOSUF SAHIB as directed by the Holy Saint.
The child was properly educated and in his 7th year took leave of his parents to go and meet his real father at Makkah as he heard a Divine Voice informing him that his father (Hazarath Syed Shahul Hameed Qadir wali) was awaiting his arrival at Makkah so he went to Makkah and joined his father there.The Saint, his son and 404 followers-disciples visited Ponnani, Sri Lanka, Kayalpattinam, Keelakarai and Thankasi and propagated Islam.
