Biography

As for his life is much unknown. This is not surprising when it is considered that he forbade his followers, anything to keep written records about themselves. And the scriptures like the anise at- Talibin of Salah ad-Din Muhammad Bukhari, which were written after his death, focused more on spiritual and moral issues.

Youth and education

Baha -ud -Din (later in Qasr -i Arifan renamed) was born in Bukhara 1318 in the village of Qasr -i - Hinduvan. Here he died 1389th For most of his life he spent in Bukhara ( Khorezm ) and adjacent areas of Transoxiana. He held on to the principle of travel within the home, which is mentioned in Omar Ali Shah's " The Rules or Secrets of the Naqshbandi Order." The only long journeys, there were two Haddschreisen to Mecca.

He came early into contact with the Khwajagan (lit: the Masters) and was adopted by Baba Muhammad Sammasi as his spiritual descendants as Baha -ud -Din was still a toddler. Sammasi was the first of Baha -ud -Din on the path ( tariqa ) led, but even more important was his relationship with Sammasis successor Amir Kulal, the last link in the Silsila before Baha -ud- Din. It was Amir Kulal, by the Baha -ud -Din received his basic education for the path and the years keep him company. But even more important was the instruction in the method of silent dhikr, which he received from the Ruhaniya Abdul Khaliq Gajadwani. This Dhikrart is called dhikr of the heart. Although he was a spiritual descendant of Abdul Khaliq Gajadwanis, Amir Kulal practiced loud dhikr ( dhikr of the tongue ), and after Baha -ud -Din had learned the silent dhikr, he did not appear to Amir Kulals meetings when they were performing the loud dhikr. This cleavage Baha -ud -Din Amir Kulals circle probably marks the emergence point of the Naqshbandi with the silent dhikr, obtained from Abdul Khaliq Gajadwani and ultimately inherited from Abu Bakr, the established standard for the Order, despite various subsequent deviations.

Death

Baha -ud -Din died in 1389 and was buried in his home village. His grave became one of the main visitor sites and a major attraction in Bukhara.
