About Khanqah

Islam is a religion of mercy, bestowed upon us by the Merciful Lord through His beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It serves as both a constitution and a way of life, embodying mercy for all humanity. This way of life not only promises to elevate an individual gender from the depths of degradation to the heights of dignity but ensures the advancement of both genders, men and women, to the pinnacle of human excellence. A distinctive feature of Islam is that it opens the doors of greatness and elevation equally for both genders. Each individual is encouraged to advance and soar as high as their abilities allow, without any restrictions. In contemporary times, education is widespread, and there is no shortage of institutions. However, the tragedy lies in the fact that knowledge, which is a light, guidance, and a means for the formation of human values, is not manifest in practice. As Imam Ghazali (may Allah have mercy on him) stated, “Knowledge is not the accumulation of numerous narrations but a light that illuminates the heart.” Due to the lack of this light, humanity is wandering in the darkness of ignorance. In this era of extreme humiliation, by the grace and blessings of Allah Almighty and the gifts of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the light of awareness has been attained from the esteemed presence of the spiritual guide. To light the way for others, an educational institution named KHANQAH O JAMIA MUHAMMADIA SAIFIA SARFRAZ UL ULOOM was established, where efforts are made to integrate education with proper upbringing and training.
