Hadhrat Khwaja Muhammad Durvesh (May Allah be well pleased with him)

He is a great saint of the Naqshbandi order of Islamic mysticism and is a disciple and caliph of Hadhrat Muhammad Sharfuddin Zahid (May Allah shower His mercy on him).

 

Hadhrat Muhaddith-E-Deccan (May Allah shower His mercy on him) writes in Gulzar Auliya about him:

 

He was a stalwart of the normative and the mystical sciences and a master of the outward and inward secrets.  His absorption, eagerness and yearning, and generosity are universally known.  He was a sign of Almighty Allah in training and instruction of the disciples.  His manner of instructing his disciples would be such that anyone who saw it would be struck with astonishment.  When he would make them traverse the path of closeness to Allah (Suluk), the signs of Allah’s power would be seen.

 

Although, his beginning Suluk was traversed under Hadhrat Khwaja ‘Ubaidullah Ahrar (May Allah shower His mercy on him), but he completed it and received the authorization to teach and instruct others from Hadhrat Khwaja Zahid (May Allah shower His mercy on him).

 

He passed away to the presence of Almighty Allah in 970 Hijri.
