Our History
Sufi orders are established through a transmission of spiritual blessings from a master to a seeker.
The seeker is trained to perfection and then instructed to perfect others. In this way orders are spread across the world the teachings of Islam are spread to the hearts of people.
Hadhrat Zinda Pir Sahib (ra)
Hadhrat ZindaPir Sahib (ra) was the Ghawth (Spiritual head of Awliya) of his time, a Sayyid Naqshbandi shaykh of an incredibly high rank.
Upon instruction from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), he settled in the valleys of Kohat called Ghamkol Sharif. Between 1952-1999, he sat in full reliance of Allah, worshipping Him and seeing to the needs of any of His Creation.
Hadhrat ZindaPir Sahib (ra) made Hadhrat Sufi Sahib (ra) his most senior deputy (Khalifa) in 1946 and authorised him to continue the legacy of the Naqshbandi Khawajghaan in the UK since 1962.
Hadhrat Sufi Sahib (ra)
Hadhrat Sufi Abdullah Khan Sahib (ra) and his Silsila, Ghamkol Sharif UK are amongst the most famous names in the UK.
Muslims of the UK are indebted to him for his selfless service to Islam.
Since 1962, he mirrored his Shaykh, Hadhrat ZindaPir Sahib (ra), and in his love, he served Allah and His Creation.
Each day of his life was full of the remembrance of Allah, reciting the Quran, Sending Salawaat, giving charity, serving the needs to whoever came to him and always humble to the blessings he received from Hadhrat ZindaPir Sahib (ra).
Introduction
to Sufism
Sufism is the essence of Islam. It is the spirit of the religion and therefore spiritual by nature.
In following the Quran and Sunnah, Sufis follow a teacher who is authorised by his teacher to guide them to a strong faith in Allah and a solid connection to His Beloved (peace be upon him).
Sufism purifies an individual, guides them to a holistic understanding of Islam and transmits the characteristics, qualities and virtues of an ideal Muslim.
Sufism is best understood through the Hadith of Jibril; the Hadith which summarises the entire religion. Click to open the Hadith
Khidma projects of Ghamkol Sharif UK

LOVE: A firm faith with a selfless love, care and concern of Allah, His Messenger (peace be upon him) and His creation.
LIVE: A life of complete submission to Allah which always strives to love and honour His Messenger (peace be upon him) and a learning and application of the blessed Shari’ah.
GIVE: This is a fundamental element of Tasawuf. To give as one received. To humble oneself and strive in the service of Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). To indiscriminately work in fulfilling the needs of the creation.
