Bari Imam was a 17th-century Sufi ascetic from Punjab who was the most prominent Sufi of the Qadiriyya order. He learned fiqh, hadith, logic, mathematics, medicine, and other disciplines in his early ages and moved to different places including Kashmir, Badakhshan, Bukhara, Mashhad, Baghdad, and Damascus in the pursuit of spiritual knowledge. He got the title of Bari Imam (The leader of the earth) from his Pir (Sufi Mentor), Hayat-al-Mir (Zinda Pir). He is also described in regional lore as one through whom Allah performed many marvels to convince the local people of the truth of Islam; thus, some of the most popular miracles ascribed to him are his having caused water to gush forth from rocks. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb built the silver-mirrored shrine of Bari Imam in Noorpur Shahan and since then it is preserved by the government of Pakistan. It is now one of the famous tourist sites in the city and attracts thousands of local and international tourists every year. Capital Development Authority (CDA) has beautified the place and has put in steps which go all the way up the mountain to the Loh-e-Dandi.
