Akhund Darweza Baba (1533 - 1638) was a Usmani Arab[1] Sufi and Islamic scholar and one of the caliphs of Sayyid Ali Tirmizi.
[3] Darweza was born in 1533 to Shaikh Gadai somewhere in Buner District.
He failed to get a proper education but later he went to make up for his shortcomings and learn Sufism from a few religious scholars like Syed Mesar Ahmad, Mullah Zangi and Mullah Sanjar.
Akhund met Sayyid Ali Tirmizi (Pir Baba) between 1552 and 1554 through his teacher Mullah Sanjar.
Then took the oath of allegiance and received training of Sufism and later became Pir Baba’s caliph.
