Shaikh Abdul Khaliq
al-Ghujdawani was the greatest Master of his time. He was a Perfect
Knower (arif kamil) in Sufism and accomplished in asceticism. He is
considered to be the Fountainhead of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order and the
Wellspring of the Khwajagan (Masters of Central Asia).
Shaikh Abdul Jamil, his father, was one of the most famous scholars of his time, and his mother was a princess, the daughter of the King of Seljuk Anatolia. He was born in Ghujdawan, a town near Bukhara (now Uzbekistan). He was a great scholar of Jurisprudence. He established a school of Law in Damascus, which was famous in the region of Central Asia as well as in the Middle East.
He was deeply interested in spiritualism. One day while reading the Quran, he came upon the ayat: Call upon your Sustainer humbly, and in the secrecy of your hearts. This prompted him to inquire about the silent dhikr (jikr; jaap, recital or the remembrance of the Almighty). He was the first one in this honorable Sufi Order to use silent dhikr and was later considered the master of silent dhikr. He also coined the principles of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, which were later adopted by all the Sufi Orders.

Introduction
The object of this site
is to introduce the viewers to Sufi saints and Sufism. Sufism is
embedded in mysticism and often people have identified Sufi saints with
Muslim mystics, but Sufism is beyond religion. Sufism is indefinable; it
is as old as humanity. There have been Muslim Sufis, Hindu Sufis,
Christian Sufis and so on. Sufism is a way of life; it concerns with
one's conduct and is a matter of practice. The Sufis are poets and
lovers; they are beloved of God. They are the people of highest morality
and have no bias or prejudices towards anyone. The SUFI is one, who has
Submitted himself to the will of God, who lives in Union with God and
who has devoted himself to Find the Truth.
The site has been organized as a series of topics on various aspects of Sufism. These include:
