Hazrat Maulana Shamsur Rehman Abbasi Naqshbandi Mujaddidi (Daamut Barakaatuhu) [Karachi].
Shaykh Maulana Shams-ur-Rehman Al Abbasi (Daamut Barakaatuhu) is counted amongst the luminaries of this time and
day. He
adopted for himself the
spiritual path
of the Naqshbandi Chain. His first mentor and guide was Shaykh ul Arab
wa
Ajam Hazrat Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Al Abbasi Madni, after
which he found himself under
the tutelage and
counsel of
Maulana Syed
Zawaar Hussein Shah Naqshbandi. He then followed a series of teachers and
Shuyukhs; namely
Maulana
Mustajaab Khan
(Rehmatullah Alaihi) and Maulana Abdul Haq Al Abbasi Madni Sahab Naqshbandi Ghafoori
(Rehmatullah
Alaihi).
On the 29th of Dhill Hajj in 1423 Hijri (2003), he established the Khanqah Ghafooria Haqqania
Naqshbandia (a khanqah being a spiritual centre
associated with Sufism). He started the Halqa Zikr on the instruction
of Sufi Mohammad Iqbal
(Rehmatullah
Alaihi), who was the Khalifa of Shaykh-ul-
Hadith Maulana Zakariya Sahab
(Rehmatullah Alaihi). Maulana
Shams-ur-Rehman
(Daamut Barakaatuhu) devotes his time and energy trying to inculcate
in
people love for our Almighty
creator, Allah(S.W) and trying
to infuse in
them a desire to hold fast to the Sunnah of our
beloved Prophet (Peace Be upon Him).
His resolute and unwavering commitment to Shariya and his devotion to it are
responsible for attracting to him
innumerable
disciples from among the
students and scholars of noble Islam.
