Hazrat Muhammad Sheikh Dawood Ashrafi Sahib was bestowed with Chiragh Sharif through a spiritual lineage. Thereafter, he worked with great dedication and effort, enduring many hardships while spreading this spiritual grace. In the beginning, Chiragh Sharif was illuminated for a limited period of time, but gradually, as people experienced its blessings, the number of visitors continued to increase, and this tradition has continued ever since.
A Brief History of the Khanqah & Chiragh Sharif
A journey of spiritual tradition, dedication and service — carrying forward the blessings of Chiragh Sharif and Faizan-e-Makhdoomi.
When the number of people in Betul became very large and the available space became insufficient, in the year 2005 Hazrat Sheikh Sahib acquired new land in Tekra (Gawahchi) and established the Khanqah there, which is known today as Ashraf Nagar.
Today, this Khanqah has become a spiritual centre from where Faizan-e-Makhdoomi is being spread. Visitors who come here receive spiritual peace, blessings and spiritual grace.
Hazrat Syed Shah Fakhruddin Ashraf Rahmatullahi Alaih and other revered elders of the Ashrafia family have also visited this place and illuminated Chiragh Sharif with their blessed hands, further strengthening the spiritual significance of this Khanqah.
All practices carried out here are according to Shariah, and this Khanqah has been established solely for the service of Islam and the spreading of Faizan-e-Makhdoomi.
May this sacred tradition continue to remain a source of faith, service, peace and spiritual hope for generations to come.
