Hazrat Khwaja Abdul Khaliq Ghujdawani (rahmatullah alaih) was the first one in this Naqshbandi Sufi Order to use the Silent Zikr and he was considered the master of that form of Zikr. He was direct descendant of Hazrat Syeddna Imam Malik (rahmatullah alaih) and mureed and khalifa of Hazrat Khwaja Abu Yaqub Yusuf Hamadani (rahmatullah alaih) and was also spiritually benefited from Hazrat Khizr (alaih salaam). His mazar is located in Ghujdawan, Uzbekistan.
Abdul Khaliq Ghijduvani was one of a group of Central Asian Sufi teachers known simply as Khwajagan (the Masters) of the Naqshbandi order.
Abdul Khaliq was born in the small town of Ghijduvan, near Bukhara. His father had migrated to Central Asia from Malatya, in eastern Anatolia where he had been a prominent faqih. While Abdul Khaliq was studying tafsir in Bukhara he first had an awakening of interest in the path. He received further training at the hands of Yusuf Hamdani, and was the next link in the Naqshbandi silsila following him.
Abdul Khaliq bequeathed to subsequent generations of the Naqshbandi silsila a series of principles governing their Sufi practice, concisely formulated in Persian and known collectively as "the Sacred Words" (kalimat-i qudsiya), or the "Rules" or "Secrets" of the Naqshbandi Order.
He passed away on 12 Rabi’ al-Awwal 575 AH in his hometown Ghujdawan, near Bukhara (Uzbekistan), where his tomb is a place which attracts many from around the world.
