Abdul Khaliq Ghijduwani

Abdul Khaliq Ghijduvani or Ghujdawani (died 1179) was one of a group of Central Asian Sufi teachers known simply as Khwajagan (the Masters) of the Naqshbandi order.

[1] Abdul Khaliq bequeathed to subsequent generations of the Naqshbandi silsila a series of principles governing their Sufi practice, concisely formulated in Persian and known collectively as "the Sacred Words" (kalimat-i qudsiya), or the "Rules" or "Secrets" of the Naqshbandi Order.

According to legend, Hoja Abdul Khaliq waited for Allah to bring him to the one who could show him the right path to spiritual perfection.

This kind of dhikr, which the Messenger of Allah first taught to Abu Bakr in the cave of Sevr (Thawr), has regained its importance with Abdul Khaliq Ghujdawani's introduction to it.

Hoja Abdul Khaliq, who found his mentor at the age of twenty, adopted his knowledge in a short time.
