Notably, Hazrat Pir Meher Ali Shah of Golra Sharif, the famous saint of the twentieth century, was a faithful murid (disciple) of Pir Sial (RA) of Sial Sharif. The Khanqa (Zawya, i.e. Sufi convent) at Sial Sharif is among the foremost Chishti centres of the Punjab, and indeed of the whole Indian subcontinent. To this day, the Islamic spiritual tradition is very much alive in this (Nizami) branch of the Chishti order. Its barakah (spiritual influence, blessing) has been experienced by tens of thousands of disciples and visitors. Every Friday, scores of devotees travel long distances only to attend the Jumu'ah prayer there and receive the blessings from the Holy Shrine.

Attached to the spiritual centre (referred to as Darbaar, i.e. court) at Sial Sharif there is also a religious school (madrasa). Many other religious schools and mosques, scattered throughout Pakistan, are affiliated to the Darbaar of Sial Sharif. The Darbaar at Sial Sharif is closely linked to many other spiritual centres, including the Darbar at Bhera Sharif.
