Alauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir (1196–1291) also known as Sabir Kaliyari (Urdu: صابر کلیری), (lit: Sabir of Kaliyar), was an Indian Sunni Muslim preacher and Sufi saint in the 13th century. He was nephew and successor to Baba Fareed (1188–1280), and the founder of Sabiriya branch of the Chishti Order. Today, his dargah (Sufi mausoleum) is located in Piran Kaliyar town, near Haridwar in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The dargah is one of the most revered shrines for Muslims in India, after Ajmer Sharif in Rajasthan.
