peers of delhi

1. Hazrat Khawaja Nizamuddin Auliya (1238 - 1325 AD) also known as Hazrat Nizamuddin, was a famous Sufi saint of the Chishti Order in India. He was born in Badayun (east of Delhi), though he later settled in Delhi, where his shrine (Nizamuddin Dargah) is still located. His original name was Mohammed. He was the son of Ahmad Dainiyal, who came to Badayun from Ghazani in the year 1234-35. At the age of 20, Nizamuddin went to Ajodhan (the present Pak Pattan in Pakistan) and became the disciple of Fariduddin Ganj-i-Shakkar. He was also the spiritual master of Amir Khusro. He died in the forenoon of 3rd April 1325.



Nizamuddin Dargah is the mausoleum of Delhi's most famous Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya. It is visited daily by many of people of all religions. The tomb of Amir Khusro is also located within the Nizamuddin Dargah Complex

The neighbourhood of Delhi where the mausoleum is located is called "Hazrat Nizamuddin" or simply "Nizamuddin" because of this. It's divided in two parts along Mathura Road: Nizamuddin West where the Dargah Complex and a lively muslim market are situated, and Nizamuddin East, an upper-class residential area situated between the Humayun's Tomb Complex and the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station.

A stone at the enterance of hazrat qutub sahaab's dargaah shareef, it is said whenever hazrat nizamuddin aulia used to visit his dada pir's mazaar shareef i.e qutub sahaab, out great respect for his dada pir and because of great adab for dada pir, hazrat nizamuddin aulia (r.a) did not use to enter qutub sahaab's dargaah shareef.




And just outside the enterance of dargaah shareef meboob-e-illahi use to sit on a stone and recite fateha and make dua, and use to return from there only, that stone is now placed just inside the enterance of qutub sahaab's dargaah shareef.

2. Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki


Conference of Birds at the mazaar of Qutubuddin Kaki

Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki was a renowned Muslim Sufi mystic, saint and scholar in the Chishti Order from Delhi, India. He was the disciple and khalifa (spiritual successor) of Moinuddin Chishti as head of the Chishti Order. His most famous disciple and spiritual successor was Baba Fareed.



Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki was born in 569 A.H. (1173 C.E.) in a town called "Aush" or Awash in Mawar-un-Nahar (Transoxania). Khwaja Qutbuddin's original name was "Bakhtiyar" but his title was "Qutbuddin". The name "Kaki" to his name was attributed to him by virtue of a miracle that emanated from him at a later stage of his life in Delhi. He also belonged to the direct lineage of the Holy Muhammad, descending from [[Husayn ibn Ali|Hussain Bin Ali). Khawaja Bakhtiyar Khaki was one and half years old when his father died. His mother arranged for him very good education and training.

When Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti went to Isfahan, 40 days before his demise, he took oath of allegiance at his hands and received the Khilafat and Khirqah (Sufi cloak) from him. Thus, he was the first spiritual successor of Khawaja Gharib Nawaz, Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti r.a. Thereafter, his spiritual master asked him to go to India and stay there.

When Khwaja Qutbuddin r.a. intended to kiss the feet of his Pir and Murshid and seek his permission to depart, Khwaja Moinuddin understood it and asked him to be nearer, and when Khwaja Bakhtiyar stepped up and fell at his Pir's feet, Khawaja Moinuddin raised him up and embraced him affectionately. A Fateha was then recited and Khwaja Moinuddin advised his Murid: "Never turn your face from the right path of Sufism and Truth. Prove yourself to be a brave man in this Divine Mission." When he again fell at the feet of Khwaja Moinuddin overwhelmed with love and grief at this tragic hour of parting, he was again raised and embraced affectionately by his Pir. Following this order, he went to Delhi and stayed there. It was the period of Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish.

Chaukhat of 22 Khwaajgaan of Delhi


Hardly twenty days had passed when news was brought by a messenger that Khawaja Moinuddin disappeared into the eternal Divine bliss of the Almighty Allah.

Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki used to offer 95 Rakats of Salah [sections of prayer] during the 24 hours of day and night, along with 3000 Durud Sharifs [a part of prayer] every night upon the soul of the Holy Prophet s.a.w.s. During the first 3 nights of his first marriage, he could not maintain the Durud Sharif. The Holy Prophet s.a.w.s. sent a visionary message to a pious person named Rais Ahmed, asking Hazrat Bakhtiyar Kaki r.a. the reasons for his not reciting the Durud Sharif. Hazrat Bakhtiyar Kaki r.a. divorced his wife forthwith as a mark of repentance and thereafter broke off all worldly ties and devoted his full time to the devotion of God.



It is narrated that in the early stages of his life, Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin r.a. would take a nap, but in the last part of his life he kept awake all the time. He had also committed the Koran to memory and used to recite and finish it twice daily. Whenever anything came to his Khanqah, he quickly distributed these to the poor and needy. If there were nothing, he would request his attendants and mureeds to distribute plain water as a humble token of his hospitality.

Sheikh Nur Bux has written in his book entitled "Silsila tuz'zah": "Bakhtiyar Aushi was a great devotee, mystic and friend of God. In private and public he was indulged in the remembrance of God. He was habituated to eat little, sleep little and speak little. He was a towering personality in the world of mysticism."

He had no parallel in abandoning the world and suffering poverty and hunger. He kept himself engrossed in the remembrance of Allah. Whenever someone came to him he would come back to his senses after a while and was then able to talk with him. After a very brief exchange he would show his inability to continue any longer and slipped into the same state of absorption once again.

Once Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin was coming back with his relatives and disciples after offering Eid Salah [Eid prayers] that he, all on a sudden, halted at a place in silence. After a while his relatives submitted: "Today is the Eid day. Many people would be awaiting his arrival." Having heard this Hazrat Khwaja r.a. came out of his lost state and uttered, "From this piece of land I have the smell of the perfect men."

Thereafter, he came home and after the meal was over, he asked the people to call the owner of the land to him. When the owner came to him, he purchased that piece of land from him. Later, Hazrat Bakhtiyar r.a. was buried in the same soil.

Death also came to him in an unusual manner. It is stated that once in an assembly of Sama [religious music] he happened to hear a verse of Hazrat Ahmad Jam with the meaning: "Those who are killed with the dagger of surrender and pleasure get a new life from the Unseen."

Hazrat Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki r.a. was so much absorbed in and inspired with this verse that from that day on he kept on reciting it in a state of unconsciousness and gave his life in the same state. He remained in this state of Wajd for 3 consecutive days and expired on the 4th day. He died on the 14th of Rabi-ul-Awwal 633 A.H. On account of his extraordinary death, Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kak ir.a. is known as "Shahid-e-Mohabbat" or Martyr of Allah's Love.

The Mazaar Sharif [noble tomb] of Hazrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhityar Kaki r.a. lies near Qutub Minar at old Delhi, India.

He also enjoys the following titles in the Sufi world: Qutub-ul-Aqtaab, Malik-ul-Mashaa'ikh, Rais-us-Saalikin, Siraj-ul-Auliya, etc.

4. Dargah Of Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani East of Turkman Gate on Asaf Ali Road, just before the Holy Trinity Church lies the dargah (shrine) of a very pious and holy Muslim saint, Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani. The shrine is said to be the oldest place in the whole of Old Delhi, as it had been here even before Shah Jahan's new capital city Shahjahanabad was built. Turkman Gate was named after this saint who died in 1240 AD. The saint belonged to a special sect known as Bayabani, who believed in praying and living alone in a secluded place, close to nature, away from the inhabited area. One can very well imagine that this place in the early 13th century must be a densely wooded area quite far from any habitation.

At present, the shrine is located in a thickly populated area but still the small decent white building, which marks the shrine, is still close to nature as it is situated under a huge tree. The grave is inside this building and is covered with a bright colored cloth and flowers with incense sticks are lighted in a corner. The shrine is quite popular among the local people.

5. Ghaziuddin Khan's Madarsa and Tomb : Located near Ajmeri Gate in Old Delhi, Ghaziuddin's madarsa and tomb was built Mir Shahbuddin, a highly respected and influential courtier and minister during the reign of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The title of 'Ghazi-ud-Din Khan' was conferred on him and his son Mir Qamar-ud-Din was the founder of the dynasty of Nizam of Hyderabad. The madarsa was built in 1692. English classes were introduced in 1824 and it came to be known as Anglo-Arabic School and later Anglo-Arabic College. The building has a large enclosure of arcaded apartments where the madarsa used to function. The entrance to this madarsa, which is one of the fine examples of madarsa architecture in Delhi, is through the eastern gate.

There is a mosque just west of the madarsa, which is surmounted by three domes and flanked by minarets. The prayer hall of the mosque has arched openings. Further on both sides of the mosque towards its north and south lie the two enclosures, which contains some graves. The enclosures have perforated stone screens. Among the three graves in the southern enclosure is one of the graves of Ghaziuddin Khan. Red sandstone has been used in each structure here, which gives a unifying look to the building.

6. Hazrat NasirudDin Mahmud. Entitled Raushan Chiragh-i-Dihli : The Dargah of Chiragh-i-Dihli is located in the Chirag Delhi Village and can be reached by either taking the Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg through the Chiragh main road or the Outer Ring Road through the Soami Nagar South Colony. It is the burial place and tomb of Sufi saint Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud. Entitled Raushan Chiragh-i-Dihli, which means the 'Illuminated lamp of Delhi', the saint died in the year 1356. He was a disciple of Hazrat Nizamuddin, whom he succeeded as the head of the Chisti sect. The village of Chirag Delhi, now an urban settlement gradually grew up around this sacred tomb and was earlier enclosed within rubble-built rectangular walls with gateways on each side, built by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq (1325-51).



The main tomb of the devout saint is a square chamber supported on twelve pillars and surmounted by a dome with turrets on every corner. Like the dome of Mubarak Shah's tomb, the dome here also rises from an octagonal drum and is a plastered one. Several additions have been made in the shrine complex from time to time. At present there are several structures in the complex like the assembly hall (Majlis-Khana) or the symposium hall (Mahfil-Khana), apart from many graves and tombs of eminent personalities inside the enclosure. There are also several mosques in the Dargah enclosure. King Farrukhsiyar built one among them in the early 18th century to pay homage to the great saint.

7. Hazrat Shiekh Abu Bakr Tusi (ra) alies Hazrat Mataka Shah Baba ,Delhi.


Shrine of Hazrat Matka Shah Baba

While going towards the famed Purana Qila, one can spot a tree within a place of worship from which hang several earthen clay pots. And the compound in which the tree is located is none other than the dargah of Baba Matka Pir which is open to all faiths for worship.While some of the pots are on kekar trees, many others hang from bamboo sticks dug into the ground. To get to the main dargah, one has to climb stairs and one gets to the spot where the pir stayed.
The dargah has an interesting background and the pir whose original name was Hazrat Sheikh Abu Bakr Tulshi Haideri Kalandari Rahmatullah, was supposed to have come from Iran over 750 years ago.


Mataka's (pitcher) were also hanged on the trees around the Shrine of Hazrat Mataka Shah Baba ,Delhi .

The story goes that one day a thirsty traveller came to him asking for water and the pir offered him water from an earthen pitcher.The traveller then told him that he was suffering from a disease which apparently did not have any cure.The pir said that he would pray for him and when the man returned after some days he was said to have been cured completely of the disease. After the incident, people started thronging the dargah to seek the blessings of the pir. And while they narrated their problems, he would pray for them and the problems would be solved.




It is said that the then sultan of Delhi,Sultan Ghiyasuddin Balban, was keen to test the powers of the pir.He sent him a platter full of iron balls and mud for a start. It is said that the pir covered the plate and started praying. After a while when he lifted the cover, he found that the iron balls had converted into roasted gram and the mud into gur.The baba then mixed part of the gur with the gram and a part with water which then changed into sweet milk. And on account of this even to date, people offer roasted gram, gur and milk in earthen pots after someone’s wish is fulfilled.
The baba then was referred to Baba Matka Pir.




Mataka's (pitcher) were also hanged on the trees around the Shrine of Hazrat Mataka Shah Baba ,Delhi

It was an irony that the miraculous powers of the baba were responsible ultimately for his death.He was known for converting lumps of mud into gold which he would then distribute among the needy and the very poor.On account of this, a large number of his diciples thaught that the baba may have kept loads of gold hidden in the dargah. And one day some of them got together and murdered the saint.They made efforts to get the booty , but there was nothing to be found there.

8. The shrine of Hazrat Kalimullah Shah, opposite the Red Fort, always draw a crowd of eager faces when the quwalli is being sung while the incense of joss sticks pervades the shrine. Alongside the saint’s velvet-covered tomb are the graves of his father and daughter. The marble shrine and the unorthodox mosque which is squarish was constructed by the late Sajjadanashin caretaker of the shrine. The saint was the man who took on himself the task of bringing about a moral reawakening during the last days of the reign of Aurangzeb. The saint was born in Delhi around 1650 and his father, Sheikh Noorullah, was a well-known astronomer, calligraphist and professor of theology and he studied theology under the guidance of Sheikh Bunharuddin and Sheikh Bahlool, two famous ulemas of the time. After completing his studies, he renounced the world and became a sufi. At the place where the shrine is situated once stood Khanam-ka-bazaar which housed khanqa— a religious abode-cum-inn which was later converted into a college.



There are several stories about the miracles performed by the saint including one in which he commanded the Yamuna to behave itself when the river flooded half of Delhi and he was also supposed to cure disease including the blindness of a girl. Every year, a two-day urs is held at the shrine which is attended by those who are on their way back from the pilgrimage to Ajmer Sharif. But of late, the shrine has lost a lot of its charm because of the market and residential quarters that have sprung up. Across the road from the mazar of Kalimulla Shah, is the shrine of Bhure Shah, another well-known saint while towards the Jama Masjid, the twin shrines of Hare Bhare Sahib and Sarmad Shaheed stand. Close to the Chandni Chowk end of Jama Masjid is a small grave where an old woman sometimes sits and in the evening someone lights an oil lamp.



Though it is a shrine, it is not known after whom it is named or even who built it. While one enters Ballimaran after crossing Chandni Chowk, one enters gali Qasim Jan where another saint, Kale sahib used to stay. Though the haveli of Kale Sahib does not exist today, the compound exists and it has become a slum as compared to the days when Mirza Ghalib stayed there after his release from prison for default in payment. It is said that Kale Sahib might have been visiting the shrines of Kalimullah, Bhure Shah and those of Hare Sahib and Sarmad. Later, however, the people began discussing about his saintly powers also. However, Ghalib never attended quwwali sessions at the shrines of the saints for in the evening he was either busy with mushairas or too drunk to do anything except enjoy the company of his favourite dancing girl in Chawri Bazaar. It is a pity that many of the buildings of that golden era have become paper godowns or commercial offices that are still being computerised fully.

Dargah of Hazrat Inayat Khan


9. The Dargah of Hazrat Inayat Khan:The Indian musician and Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan’s journey with his brothers from India to the United States in 1910, and on to Europe in 1912, marked the beginning of the first wave of Sufism in the West (Rawlinson 1997) and the creation of what has been seen variously as a new religious movement (Melton 1986), a Western Sufism (Genn 2006; Hammer 2004; Hermansen 2004), and as a worldwide Chishtiyya Sufi diaspora (Ernst and Lawrence 2002). The order founded by Inayat Khan is now one of the oldest and most prominent Sufi orders in the West. It is a transnational spiritual movement with well-developed formal organizations and groups on virtually every continent. Inayat Khan was part of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century wave of the Indian diaspora. This early diaspora, a product of colonialism, involved mainly what has been described as ‘dispersal’– Indians journeying in search of a livelihood but also elements of ‘expansion’ – by Indian cultural elites.

By the time of Inayat Khan’s death in 1926 in Delhi on a return visit to India, there were several thousand mureeds in Europe and America. The Sufi work was, at first, continued in Europe by his brothers and then by a grandson until the 1980s. In 1993, after a period of co-operative leadership, Hidayat Inayat-Khan, the founder’s younger son, was recognised as the Representative General.

In 1926, Hazrat Inayat Khan returned to India, the country of his birth. After a brief illness, he passed away in Delhi on February 5th, 1927. According to his wishes, his body was laid to rest on a small piece of property not far from the grave of the Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia. The Dargah [tomb] of Hazrat Inayat is now a place of peace, prayer and meditation in the midst of the crowded city to which pilgrims come from around the world. It is also a centre for music concerts, lectures, conferences, and social programs helping the people of the surrounding district.

Here is some additional information:

The elder son of Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan was Vilayat Inayat-Khan, who was trained and ordained as a Sufi Pir in the Chishtiyya, was also actively teaching in Europe and North America from the early 1950s to his passing in 2004, initiating several hundred murids into the Chishti-Inayati tariqat. The public face of his Order was at first called "The Sufi Order of the West" (after the name given by Hazrat Inayat Khan) and recently changed to "The Sufi Order International." His successor, Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, was ordained as a Pir in two branches of the Chishtiyya and is the current head of the Sufi Order International, with its headquarters in New York State, USA.

10. Shrine of Hazrat Bibi Fatima Sam (ra) ,Delhi. She is one of the pious and humble women devotees of the age. She is frequently mentioned in the discourses of Shaykh Nizam al Din Awliya' and his disciples. They say that the emperor of the masters, Shaykh Nizam al Din Awliya, frequently meditated in the shrine of Fatima Sam. Shaykh Farid al Din Ganj-I Shakar said , "Fatima Sam is a man sent in the form of woman".





Shaykh Nizam al Din said, " When the lion has come out of the forest, nobody asks if it is male or female ; the children of Adam must obey and show respect ,whether it is male or female. Now, in the stories of Fatima Sam there has been much said regarding her extreme piety and old age. I have seen her. She was a great woman. She was the adopted sister of Shaykh Farid al din and Shaykh Najib al din Mutawwakil.She recited verses on every subject. I have heard these two lines from her : Click here for Complete Info

15. Sheikh Najeebuddin "Mutwakil" Chisti "Sheikh Sahaab"

Dargaah Is there Near the Dargaah "Jama Masjid". 1st Mazaar Is Of Sheikh Sahaab's Daughter and Second Mazaar Is Of Sheikh Sahaab.





SHEIKH SAHAAB held a very special status among all the Sufis. Here khawaaja is known as SHEIKH SAHAAB. SHEIKH SAHAAB was the brother of BABA FARID (R.A). KHAWAAJA SAHAAB'S name was NAJEEBUDDIN but his title was MUTWAKIL.

MUTWAKIL MEANS THE ONE WHO HAS NO TRUST IN WORDLY THINGS, AND HAS LEFT ALL HIS WORK ON THE "TAWAKUL" (TRUST) OF ALLAH.
SHEIKH SAHAAB'S father's name was SHEIKH JAMAALUDDIN SULIEMAAN, who was from the lineage of AAMIRUL MOMMIN HAZRAT UMAR FARUKH. SHEIKH SAHAAB'S father came from GAJNI to MULTAAN in the reign of SHAHABUDDIN GOURI and settled in NATHWAAL MULTAAN, SHEIKH SAHAAB'S father was appointed KAAZIof the city. SHEIKH SAHAAB'S father married in this city and SHEIKH SAHAAB was born in NAATHWAL, in 559 HIJRI (1163)


Jama Masjid Built Near the Dargaah of Sheikh Sahaab

SHEIKH SAHAAB was three brothers, the elder one was EJAJJUDDIN MEHMUD, and then BABA FARID, and SHEIKH SAHAAB was the youngest of them all.
SHEKH SAHAAB came to DELHI with BABA FARID and on BABA FARID'S order settled in DELHI'S ADHCHINI VILLAGE, and also got KHILAAFAT from BABA FARID.
There lived a man called ATIK who built a masjid and he appointed SHEIKH SAHAAB the imam of the masjid. And when ATIK married his daughter he spend heavily on the marriage. On seeing this waste of money on the marriage SHEIKH SAHAAB said, if half the money would have been spend on the way of DEEN then it would have done a lot better. On hearing this ATIK felt really bad and removed SHEIKH SAHAAB from the post of IMAM. When BABA FARID got the news of this BABA FARID said "WHAT IF ONE TAMRI HAS GONE ANOTHER EITKAARI WOULD BE BORN." And during that reign a man called EITKAARI was born and came to SHEIKH SAHAAB and did a great service to SHEIKH SAHAAB.

When SHEIKH NIZAMUDDIN AULIA'S mother came to DELHI from BADAAIUN, she settled near SHEIKH SAHAAB'S house. SHEIKH NIZAMUDDIN AULIYA had great respect for SHEIKH SAHAAB, and after the demise of SHEIKH NIZAMUDDIN AULIYA'S mother MAA SAHEEBA, SHEIKH NIZAMUDDIN AULIA lived under the guardianship of SHEIKH SAHAAB. When YOUNG SHEIKH NIZAMUDDIN wanted to be SHEIKH SAHAAB'S MURID. SHEIKH SAHAAB told YOUNG KHAWAAJA NIZAMUDDIN, if you want to be MURID then be MURID of SHEIKH BAHAUDDIN ZAKAARIA or else BABA FARID. It was SHEIKH SAHAAB who introduced YOUNG NIZAMUDDIN to BABA FARID when SHEIKH SAHAAB took YOUNG KHAWAAJA NIZAMUDDIN to PAK-PATTAN to meet BABA FARID.



BIBI FATIMA SAM was a very pious lady, SHEIKH SAHAAB considered her as his SISTER. Whenever SHEIKH SAHAAB had nothing to eat, BIBI FATIMA SAM used to send ROTIS (CHAPATIES) as soon as possible to SHEIKH SAHAAB and SHEIKH SAHAAB used to except the ROTIES with pleasure.

Once BIBI FATIMA SAM sent only one ROTI, while excepting the ROTI with pleasure SHEIKH SAHAAB was saying "YA ALLAH AS YOU HAVE MADE THIS PIOUS LADY AWARE OF OUR CONDITION, HAD THE KING WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE, THEN THE KING WOULD HAVE SENT ANY GOOD THING FOR US." After saying this SHEIKH SAHAAB laughed and said "HOW KINGS WOULD GAIN THIS PIOUS STATE THAT THEY WOULD BE MADE AWARE?"

SHEIKH SAHAAB'S DARGAAH SHARIF IS IN ADHCHINI VILLAGE OF DELHI NEAR SHEIKH NIZAMUDDIN'S MOTHER MAA SAHEEBA'S DARGAAH SHARIF WHICH IS ON AURBINDO MARG NEAR N.C.R.T.

16. Hazrat Baqi Billah (raz) : O God bless our Master Muhammadwho opened what had been closed, and who is the Seal of what had gone before, he who makes the Truth Victorious by the Truth, the guide to thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.



Allahumma salli ' wa sallim was baarik ala Sayyidina Muhammadil nil-fatihi lima Ughliqa wal khatimi lima sabaqa wan-naa-siril-haqqi bil-haqqi wal-hadi ila Sirati-kal-mustaqima sal-lal-lahu 'alayhi wa 'ala alihi wa-ashaabihi haqqa qadrihi wa-miq-da rihil-'azim.






He was the Knower, Annihilated in God (fana billah) and Existing in His Existence (baqa billah), who was lifted to the highest station of Vision. He was a Secret of Allah's Secrets and a Miracle of Allah's Miracles. He combined in his person the two types of knowledge: the Outer Knowledge and the Heavenly Knowledge. God gave him from the two Oceans, and conferred on himbAuthority in the two worlds of men and Jinn.




Imam Rabbani Ahmad al-Faruqi said, "Muhammad al-Baqi was the One Sitting on the Throne of all Shaikhs, and he was the Deputy of all Masters of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, who reached the end of the Infinite, who achieved the highest states of wilayat (Friendship of God). He was the qutb (Spiritual Pole) who supported every creature on this earth. He unveiled the secrets of Reality. He was the Verifier of the Station of the Reality of Muhammad . He was the Pillar of the People of Guidance. He was the Essence of the Knowers and the Guide of the Verifiers (muhaqqiqin)."




He was born in 972 H. in the city of Kabul in the land of `Ajam which was a colony of the Sultanate of India. His father was the judge Abdu-s-Salam. He went to India in the first instance on personal business. There he was attracted to an attraction from God's attraction. He left this worldly life behind and sought spiritual knowledge from the Master of the century. He kept company with masters and saints, until he himself became an ocean of intellect and a saint of spirituality. He traveled continuously until he reached the city of Samarqand. There he connected himself to the Master of his time, Muhammad Khwaja al-Amkanaki. He received from him the Way of the Naqshbandi Order. In a very short time he received what most seekers require a lifetime to receive. He was elevated also through the spiritual care of Ubaidullah al-Ahrar. His honor became known everywhere. His shaikh, Muhammad Khwaja al-Amkanaki, authorized him to take followers and to train them in the conduct of the Order. He ordered him to go back to India. He predicted, "You are going to have a follower who will be like the sun." This would be Imam Rabbani Ahmad al-Faruqi.




He moved back to India and stayed in the city of Delhi-Jahanabad, which he filled with faith and knowledge and secrets and lights. Through him the Naqshbandi Order was spread with great swiftness throughout the Indian Subcontinent and millions of people were connected to him through his deputies. All nations in the Subcontinent were attracted to his knowledge and his Heavenly Power and to the Prophetic Characteristics dressing him. It became known throughout the Indian Subcontinent that anyone coming to him and looking in his eyes, or sitting in his association doing dhikr, would enter a state of Self-Effacement, through which he could reach a state of Annihilation, in a single meeting. By this miraculous power he attracted millions of people, until this Naqshbandi Order was on the tongue of every person in his time.




He did parda from this world on Wednesday, the 14th of Jumada al-Akhira, 1014 H., in the city of Delhi at the age of 40 years and four months. His grave is on the West side of the city of Delhi.


He passed the Secret to his successor, the Shaykh of this Chain, the Reviver of the Second Millennium, al-Imam ar-Rabbani Mujaddid alf-ath-Thani, Shaykh Ahmad al-Faruqi as-Sirhindi.

17. Hazrat Moulana Fakhrudeen Muhibbun Nabi Delhawi (rahmatullahi alaihi) was one of the most brilliant of Islamic scholars in India, as well as being one of the most popular of the Chishtia saints. Indeed, this noble personality's influence is so great that it is said that after Khwaja Moinudeen Chishti (rahmatullahi alaihi) and his immediate successors (the Big Five), Moulana Fakhrudeen (rahmatullahi alaihi) is regarded as being the most influential figure in the spread of the Chishtia order. All contemporary branches of the order are directly linked to the great Moulana, and his services and dedication to Islam have rarely been equalled.

HAZRAT SAEED SARMAD SAHID
WISAL - 29,SAWAL,1065 HIZRI.THE URS IS CELEBRATED PN THIS DAY ITSELF


HAZRAT SUFI SAEED SARMAD SAHEED
He was from a jewish family. Latter embraced islam. He came to india and stayed at karachi in 1031 hizri.was agreat poet nad became agreat wali by his own ibadat. after becoming a wali people graduly came near him to get benifit from him.it was harming hazrat's contact with allah , so he came with an idea to drop his clothes forever and remained bair body for the whole life.stayed in lahore for 11 years. in 1044 hz went to hyderabad.came back to delhi and stayed with his spiritual master HAZART HAREBHARE SAAH for sometime and got bait and khilafat from him in CHISTIYA-NIZAMIA SILSILA.



At that time dara sikoh was the nominee of sahajahan but the rest of his sons was not in favour of sahjahan . and planned to kill him because he also had good relation with the oter casts also. later he was killed by aurangzeb and hazrat was also accused being his peer. all the other enemies of hazrat also were in support to kill him, but aurangzeb was reluctnat who was king at that time.



Once AURANGZEB'S daughter JAIBUNISHA was going through the jungle and saw that hazrat is making play palace in mud. she asked hazrat what are you doing .hazrat replied that making jannat.she said will it be sold. he said yes. than she asked what is the worth. Hazrat said one hukka of tobacco. She gave him his desire. Hazrat wrote outside the palace that i sold it to JAIBUNNISHA.



On that day AURANGZEB saw that palace in JANNAT and enqired his daughter she said all the happenings. then next day he went to hazrat and ask him for a palace in jannat, then hazrat replied that "such businees does not take place daily"

One day AURANGZEB saw hazrat on steps of jama masjid and said why dont you put on cloth on your body hazrat said do it by your own. he took blanket on hazrat which was laying besides hazrat and saw the blooded heads of his brother and nephew whom he killed. then hazrat said "should i hide this or my body"

'Ulama asked Sarmad what comes after "Laa Ilaaha Ill-ALLAH", he said nothing. He was sentenced to death. When his head was cut off it recited "Laa Ilaaha Ill-ALLAHU Muhammad ur-Rasool ULLAH".

An 'Aalim said very sadly this is what we used to ask, What comes after "Laa Ilaaha Ill-ALLAH", now he tells us. A voice came from the head, "No, Muhammad ur-Rasool ULLAH does not come after Laa Ilaaha Ill-ALLAH, it comes with Laa Ilaaha Ill-ALLAH. You always asked the wrong question".
