Khwaja Imamuddin

Khwaja Imamuddin

Khwaja Imamuddin, Hazrat-E-khwaja Khwajan Sarkar Qutab Imamuddin Chishty, was a well known Sufi saint of the Chishtiyya silsila in Lahore, Pakistan. He was born in 1908 CE and died in 1973. Not only was he well-known for being the son of Khwaja Sheikh Pak he became a Saint in his own right. He is buried next to his father in Derh Pindi, Lahore, where hundreds of thousands of people from all over Pakistan flock to make Ziyarat and say salaam to the great saint. He is known throughout the whole of Pakistan as a prime example of a modern Sufi, possessing an outstanding balanced character as well as an extremely pious soul.

Early Life

He spent his early years in the company of his parents and brothers, and took initiation into the Chishty Tariqah from his father who was head of the Silsila. Whilst Khwaja Imamuddin was growing up in his early teens, his father, Khwaja Sheikh Pak passed away at the age of 118, leaving Khwaja Imamuddin as his khalifa. Khwaja Sheikh Pak wished for the Chishty Nizami Branch to remain in his family up until the Day of judgement, and thus the responsibility of head of the Silsila fell upon the shoulders of Khwaja Imamuddin.

Lifetime

Alike his predecessors he spent his lifetime living a life of dedication to God, spiritual practices as well as maintaining a key role in the community as a Lawyer in the courts of Lahore. He was a quiet, extremely polite and austere character and he is known to have performed many miracles in his lifetime. He spent his nights in prayer
