Delhi’s yet another sufi Hazrat Inayat Khan whose tomb at the Sufi Centre by Hazrat Nizamuddin’s dargah in Delhi is worth a mention, for his exemplary influential spiritual character, blending the East and the West.

Br. Raza, I was not fortunate as you to be able to see the Library and the Meditation corners of the Sufi Centre, as there were closed on that Sunday afternoon. Due to my father’s illness, i could not make it another time. But i wish i could visit it during my next trip to India and be able to spend more time in those peacefully serene surroundings.

InshaAllah, in my next visit to India, i intend to visit the above mentioned dargahs and also ” Kabristan-e-Mehdian” where now my beloved father is also resting in peace.

May Allah reward your efforts and deeds in this world and the hereafter. Ameen

Alhamdulillah! Thanks for sharing this informative article.
I wish to include another great sufi saint from Delhi,
Shah Waliullah Muhaddis Dehlvi(1702-1760) who repeatedly emphasized “all men are equal and every man regardless of faith or religion, colour or creed has an inherent and equal right to freedom and liberty.” This saint’s dargah is in Delhi at “Kabaristan-e-Mehdian.” where great theologians, Ulemas, scholars of Islam are also resting.
Shah Waliullah has not only bridged the gulf between the Sufis and the Ulema but also harmonized the differences prevalent among different sects of Sufis. His principles on the subject were put into practice in the great theological college of Deoband, which had among its patrons such well-known Sufis like Maulana Rashid Ahmad Gangohi and Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi.

Jazaak Allah Khair,

Knowing he was a spiritual seeker, possibly via Sufism, while trying to benefit from all religious traditions, I’ve always wondered what would have been Delhi’s and India’s destiny had he and not Aurangazeb climbed the throne! If you have ever given this theme treatment in your writings, or come across other writings, can you post them here?

Thanks.
