Education And Spiritual Life

His Holiness Since Childhood Was Very Simple Yet Very Charismatic

Poverty And Starvation Couldn’t Deter His Enthusiasm For Education And Learning. His First Teacher Was Hazrat Shaadi Muqri (R.A), Who Was The Student Of A Known Islamic Scholar Hazrat Khwaja Muqri (R.A). Hazrat Shaadi Muqri (R.A) Was An Expert And Excellent Teacher In Reciting Quran Sharif.

At The Age Of 16 Year His Holiness Came Along With His Mother And Sister Bibi Zainab To Delhi For Higher Studies. He Came And Resided At Namak-Ki-Sarai Where He Met Hazrat Najeebuddin Mutawaqil (R.A) Who Was The Younger Brother Of Baba Sheikh Farid (R.A). Being In Delhi Beside Poverty, Shelter Was Another Big Problem For His Holiness. Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (R.A) Studied Hadees (Saying And Tradition Of Muhammad (Swallalaho Alaihwassalm) And Islamic
Jurisprudence (Islamic Fiqh) From Hazrat Kamaluddin Zahid, Who Was A Known Teacher And Expert In This Regard And From Other Teachers Like Moulana Aminuddin Mohaddis (R.A) And Shamsuddin Mulk (R.A).

Beside Poverty And Food, Shelter Was Another Big Problem For Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia (R.A) As They Never Had A Permanent Place To Stay In Delhi. His Holiness First Stayed At “Namak Ki Sarai” Then Two Other Places He Stayed But Did Not Got Any Permanent Shelter. In These Conditions, His Holiness Completed His Outer Education And Become An Aalim (Islamic Jurisprudence) Which Was Enough For Worldly Matters But When He Showed His Interest To Be A Qazi (Judge) Hazrat Najeebuddin Muttawakil (R.A) Said To His Holiness This Phrase , “Qazi Ma-Shou, Chize Digr Shou” Means” Don’t Be Judge With Something Else”. His Holiness Took The Advice Earnestly And Decided To Concentrate On The Life Of Being A Dervish (Mendicant). For Spiritual Education And Learning He Has To Move Ajodhan (Pakistan). During His Stay At Namak-Ki-Sarai And Closeness With Hazrat Najeeduddin Muattawakil (R.A) Added Fuel To His Intimacy And Urge To Meet His Future Sheikh.
