The Tradition of Greatness Continues

After Khawaja Shams al-‘Arifin, his great son, Khawaja Muhammad Din, adorningly sat upon the spiritual seat as a beauteous embodiment of the qualities of his noble father. He gave this movement of his noble father further strength and energy. This chain of faqr and darwayshi gradually spreading through major cities reached the very distanced and isolated villages that were situated in mountains and deserts.




After Khawaja Muhammad Din, his son, Khawaja Diya’ al-Din, beautified and enhanced not only the khanqah of Siyal Sharif and not only the Chishti Nizami Sufi Order but also all orders of faqr and darwayshi. In this era, the collective struggle against the sway of the British and the domination of the non-Muslims began. This lion-hearted struggler, who throughout his life challenged the foreign rulers in every field, departed from this world at the age of merely forty five years. Allah (most high) favored Khawaja Diya’ al-Din’s sincerity in such a manner that He granted him a great and unique son; Shaykh al-Islam Khawaja Muhammad Qamar al-Din Siyalwi. For three quarters of a century, Shaykh al-Islam Khawaja Muhammad Qamar al-Din shined above the horizon of life as a full moon spreading light and defeating every form of darkness. At his departure, the entire community is tearful. His obedient followers are manifesting their humble prayers and paying their respects in numerous ways. The special edition of Diya-e Haram Monthly Journal is also a humble beam from this chain of humble prayers.
