Peer Hafiz Muhammad Nasiruddin Khan Khakwani (àÃÂÃÂçÃÂç þÃÂñ ÃÂçÃÂø àÃÂàï ÃÂçõñçÃÂïÃÂàîçàîçéÃÂçÃÂàÃÂÃÂôèÃÂïÃÂ; born 15 October 1942) is a Pakistani Islamic scholar and current Emir of the Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz Khatm-e-Nubuwwat since August 2021.
Khakwani's maternal grandmother had a dream around 20 years before his birth in which she saw a child and was informed that he was her son. She was instructed to name him "Nasiruddin". After Khakwani was born, Sayyid âÂÂAtaullah Shah Sahib Bukhari paid a visit to Khakwani's home in Multan and he instructed that the word "Hafiz" be added to Khakwani's name (moreover, it was a well known specialty of the Khakwani family to have the children memorize the Quran Majeed in their childhood).
Khakwani has also served as Deputy Emir. After the death of Abdur Razzaq Iskander he was appointed as Emir of the Aalmi Majlis Tahaffuz Khatm-e-Nubuwwat.
His mother's name was Hayaat Bib. Firstly, she gave bayâÂÂah to Mawlana Husayn Ali Sahib of Wan Bhachran (rahimahullah). After his passing away, she gave bayâÂÂah to Mawlana Abdul Ghafoor Abbasi Madani, and after his passing away she gave bayâÂÂah to Sayyid Muhammad âÂÂAlauddin Shah Saheb Jilani.
Maulana `Abdul Ghafoor `Abbasi Muhajir Madani was a senior khalifa of Fazl Ali Shah Qureshi. He completed his religious studies in Madrassa Aminiyyah, Delhi under Kifayatullah Dehlawi. Through him, the fuyoodhaat of Silsilah Naqshbandia Mujaddidia spread in the Arab and non-Arab lands. He was the Shaykh of Sayyid Muhammad AlaâÂÂuddin Shah Jilani.
Nasiruddin Khawani is described by his followers as a spiritual successor (khalifa) of Alauddin Shah Jilani, associated with the Naqshbandi Sufi order. Alauddin Shah Jilani is reported to be buried at Khanqah Darus-Salam in Sheikhupura. Khawani is said to continue this tradition through activities focused on spiritual guidance and instruction.
