He adhered to the\u00a0Hanafi\u00a0school <\/a>of <\/a>thought\u00a0(Madhhab<\/em>), the\u00a0Maturidi\u00a0creed\u00a0(Aqidah<\/em>), the\u00a0Naqshbandi\u00a0order\u00a0(Tariqa<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is known for the gatherings of Zikr (Remembrance of\u00a0Allah) he has held. Through him many people have accepted\u00a0Islam. His followers observe strict compliance with\u00a0Sunnah\u00a0and practice\u00a0Zikr\u00a0regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He was born in a small village named Baba Kalai, about 20\u00a0km (12\u00a0mi) from\u00a0Jalalabad\u00a0on Muharram 20, 1344\u00a0AH\u00a0(August 10, 1925\u00a0CE).\u00a0His father, Sufi Hafiz Qari Muhammad Sarfraz Khan, a disciple of\u00a0Sheikh\u00a0Haji Muhammad Amin, a\u00a0sheikh\u00a0from\u00a0Qadiriyah\u00a0sufi order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak’s basic education from his father included\u00a0Quran\u00a0study. When he was 13 his mother died. For formal religious education, he moved to\u00a0Peshawar\u00a0in the early 1940 and stayed there for many years, gaining knowledge of\u00a0Tafseer,\u00a0Hadith,\u00a0Usul <\/a>al-fiqa,\u00a0Aqida\u00a0and\u00a0Tajwid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completion of his education he returned to\u00a0Afghanistan, living in\u00a0Kunduz. He was allotted land by the\u00a0Afghan\u00a0Government in\u00a0Archi. Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak, now a religious scholar, constructed a mosque and himself became Imam and Khateeb of the mosque. He also started offering free\u00a0Dars-e-Nizami\u00a0courses to the students, both beginners and advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entry into Sufism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During his stay at Archi, Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak, who had developed a special interest in Sufism and had resorted to private study for a conceptual understanding of the subject, met\u00a0Naqshbandi\u00a0sheikh\u00a0and Sufi scholar Shah Rasul Thaqalayni;\u00a0he requested\u00a0Bay’ah. He was instantly granted Bay’ah in\u00a0Naqshbandi\u00a0order, and at that time he was 32 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shah Rasul Thaqalayni being an old man had instructed his\u00a0Salikeen\u00a0(disciples) to remain in the company of his favorite\u00a0murid, Maulana Muhammad Hashim Samangani, after his departure. He died in 1381 A.H. Following the instructions of his sheikh, Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak got bay’ah from Samangani, who renewed the zikr and started guiding Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak in his spiritual journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maulana Hashim Samangani, in 1387 A.H., fell ill and called for Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak, who had been granted limited Khilafat, to share the responsibilities of training the other salikeen. This not only provided the opportunity to Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak to enjoy the company of his\u00a0Murshid, but also gave an implicit indication of his superiority over other Salikeen, by the Murshid. Akhundzada Mubarak performed his duties with such vigour and sense of responsibility that his Murshid gave him Mutliq (autonomous) Khilafat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spent three years in service of his Murshid after which he was directed to Sheikh Haji Pachero for training in the\u00a0Qadiriyah. Soon he was bestowed with Khilafat of that order too. He then went to\u00a0Nowshehra, Pakistan, where he spent some time and imparted coaching to the salikeen in the vicinity. After some time, he returned to Afghanistan and traveled in various parts of the country including\u00a0Nangarhar,\u00a0Jalalabad, and\u00a0Laghman. On instructions by his Murshid, Akhundzada Saif ur Rahman Mubarak returned to\u00a0Archi\u00a0where he remained busy spreading the essence of the religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maulana Hashim Samangani died in 1391 A.H. Before his death, he had ordered all his disciples to keep the company of Akhundzada Pir Saif ur Rahman Mubarak. In 1398\u00a0AH\u00a0Akhundzada Mubarak performed Hajj. He also visited\u00a0Madinah\u00a0and visited various regions on his journey back to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emigration to Pakistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Akhundzada Saif-ur-Rahman Mubarak decided to leave Afghanistan in 1978 prior to the\u00a0Soviet\u2013Afghan War\u00a0for his murshid who rested in\u00a0Pir <\/a>Sabaq, a small town near\u00a0Nowshehra, where for three years he provided religious guidance. In 1409\u20131410 A.H.,\u00a0Afridi\u00a0tribes of Bara offered him land for a meeting house, which he accepted. At this juncture, the\u00a0Saifi\u00a0order originated. He built a mosque, Dar-ul-Ulum, and\u00a0Khanqah\u00a0for a place where he could continue the spiritual training of his disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bara his preaching\u00a0was opposed by\u00a0Mufti <\/a>Munir <\/a>Shakir, a\u00a0Deobandi\u00a0cleric, backed by activists of his armed group,\u00a0Lashkar-e-Islam, who had earlier been expelled from\u00a0Kurram <\/a>Agency\u00a0by the Political Agency due to his active involvement in sectarian violence\u00a0and who resorted to violence against Pir Saif ur Rahman Mubarak including initiation of FM-based propaganda\u00a0attacking and burning property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
