With the titles of Peer-e-Tariqat (Spiritual Guide) and Zeenat Al-Zakireen (Beacon of Divine Remembrance), he was cherished for his noble character and deep commitment to uplifting the community. His father, known as Baba Ji Sarkar, was also a respected figure renowned for his piety and compassion toward the underprivileged.
Khawaja Abu Al-Khair received his initial Quranic and formal education in Peshawar, later studying extensively under prominent Islamic scholars. He was inspired by a strong spiritual upbringing, and from a young age, signs of his spiritual inclination were evident. Under his father’s guidance, he was introduced to the Naqshbandi spiritual path, and he formally received Khilafah (spiritual succession) from his mentor, Khawaja Nawabuddin Mohri, on March 7, 1954.
Khawaja Abu Al-Khair established numerous spiritual and educational centers, dedicating his life to guiding people toward the love of Allah SWT. He passed away on May 23, 2020, but his teachings and legacy continue to inspire his successors and followers worldwide.

His father, Khawaja Abu Al-Khair, recognized his spiritual potential early and personally guided his spiritual training.
In 1995, Khawaja Abu Al-Jamal was formally vested with the Khilafah at the shrine of Khawaja Baqi Billah. Later, in 2006, he traveled with his father to sacred sites in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, where he received special blessings and permission to propagate the teachings of multiple Sufi orders. He was granted the authority in the Naqshbandi, Qadri, and Maliki Sufi orders by distinguished Islamic scholars in Syria and Makkah.
Today, Khawaja Abu Al-Jamal continues his father’s mission of spiritual and religious guidance, leading followers on the path of divine love and wisdom while propagating the teachings of the Naqshbandia Mujaddadia Alkhairia golden Sufi order.
