An Overview of the Religious and Da'wah Services of Hazrat Shah Ghulam Ali Dehlvi and his Disciples

Abstract

Hazrat Shah Ghulam Ali Dehlvi is one of the very famous religious and scholarly personalities of the sub-continent. His efforts are known for the revival of the Mujadadiyya Naqshbandiyya lineage in the twelfth century AD. By the grace of Allah Almighty, his personality and his struggles, his influence reached beyond India to Arabia, Rome, Syria and Kurdistan. His successors and disciples, Shah Rauf Ahmad Mujjadidi, Shah Abu Saeed, Shah Ahmad Saeed, Hazrat Khwaja Ghulam Mohiuddin Kasuri in India and Maulana Ziauddin Khalid Kurdi in Rome and Turkey addressed various political, social and intellectual problems that arose during this critical period where many Muslims were being led astray. They publicized the original teachings of Islam, promoted the chain of Naqshbandiyya and served the religion in different ways. In this regard, the services of Khwaja Ghulam Mohiuddin Kasuri and his disciple and caliph Hazrat Shah Ghulam Dastgir Hashmi are considered very important in Pakistan, especially in the region of Punjab. Allah Almighty has honored our Mashaikh so much that they have been the focus of various writers and researchers throughout history and still many researches are being conducted on their works. In this article, the services of Hazrat Shah Ghulam Ali Dehlvi and his students in relevance to promotion of religion have been reviewed.
