All Masters are excellent pupils. Difficulty of the path is always what comes from us. People don’t want to be pupils; they all want to be teachers. Greatness and perfection of the great Master’s that have come from time to time in this world was in being pupils. The greater the Master, the better the pupil he was.

AS A TEACHER
After Receiving his fazilat (Degree of a Fazil) Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin started teaching in a Darul Uloom of Medawal District: Basti, Sate: UttarPradesh, India.
Soon on the orders of his respected teachers Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Abdul Mustafa Sahab Azami Alairehma and Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma he went to Gujrat where he was appointed as a lecturer at Darul Uloom Shah Alam Ahemdabad. Where he imparted knowledge for Approximate five years.
He again returned to Darul Uloom of Medawal District: Basti, Sate: Uttar Pradesh, India. For few days he performed his duties as a teacher. It was during this period Sufi Abdul Hamid Sahib Lecturer from Daru uloom Fazle Rehmania, Pachpedwa Bazar, District: Gonda, Sate: UttarPradesh, India Says “On behalf of Daru uloom Fazle Rehmania, I was sent to District Basti to appoint a Named and famous Alim e Deen (Islamic scholar). On my way I halted at a Darul Uloom in Village Medawal District: Basti, Sate: Uttar Pradesh, India where I saw an Alim e Deen (Islamic scholar) teaching his students. I offered my regards (Salaam) to the Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) and sat in one corner. This Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) had a radiant personality. His radiance reflected itself in his character and manners that he displayed. He was exemplary in every way. His actions displayed his immense love for the Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet (Sallallahoalaihiwasallam). After observing him for few moments my inner self started telling me that instead of going to the place where I had to go I should appoint this Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) for Darul Uloom Fazl Rehmania. After a few hours of conversation I was able to convince the Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) and appointed him as the lecturer of Darul Uloom Fazl Rehmania.‿ This Alim E Deen was none other then Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab. At Darul Uloom Fazl Rehmania Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab Imparted knowledge for four years.
His respeted teacher Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma was in Bareily Shareef. He wanted to bring his beloved student closer to him. Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma sent a message to him which stated “Famous and Reputed Darul Uloom of Bareily Shareef needs your service so come to Bareily Shareef‿
On the other hand his friend Maulana Sakhawat Ali Khan Bastavi Principal of Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam amardobha wanted to make him the pillar of the Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam. The decision was hard to make. Hazrat proceeded to Bareily shareef to take advice from His respeted teacher Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma. Seeing the need of Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam Amardobha, Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma gave Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab permissiom to render his humble services to it.
After taking permission Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma on 14th April 1963 Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab joined Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam Amardobha. Here he was officialy appointed as a Shaikh Ul Hadith (Master of Hatih). This Draul Uloom is recognized by the Allahabad Board and Hence According to their rules and regulations Lecturers are retired at their age of retirement. Even after his retirement Darul Uloom still wanted his services. They maintained their spiritual relation ship with Hazrat. Until now he still is the Shaikh Ul Hadith (master of Hadith) of Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam and is still rendering his humble service without even taking salary.

Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin received Ijazat [permission, authority to become a Spiritual Guide and to admit disciples] and Khilafat [an officially appointed successor] from Qadri Barkati and Qadri Razvi Mashaikhs (spiritual Masters) and Silsilas (Spiritual Linage).
He has been given authority and has been officially appointed as successor in this Path to guide, enlighten and teach followers the true essence of Islam.
IJAZAT(Permission to become a spiritual guide) AND KHILAFAT (an officially appointed successor] FROM SILSILA(Spiritual Linage) BARKATIYA
Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin thought the Muslim students and delivered speeches in public gathering to reform the ideas and practice of Muslim community in India. On one hand he produced a sizeable group of teachers, intellectuals, and literary personalities and silenced the enemies of Islam on the other hand he wrote articles on social reform which gained popularity among the readers these cognate articles possess vital significance for social reform in India.
The Sajjadah Nashin of Khanqha E Barkatia at Marehrah Mutahharah Huzoor Ahsanul Ulema Maulana Sayed Mustafa Hyder Hasan Mia (Alairehma) noticed this diligent endeavor of him and on the blessed Occasion of Urs E Qasmi on Thursday the 20th day of Safarul Muzaffar1405 hijri (15th November 1984) In the presences of Ulema’s (Religious Scholar’s) Mashaikh’s (Spiritual Guides) gave him Ijazat (permission, authority to become a Spiritual Guide and to admit disciples) and Khilafat [an officially appointed successor] Of Aliya Qadriya Barkatiya Spiritual Linage.

Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen (Alairehma) did not start an silsila (Spiritual Linage) of his own although he had the caliber to do so. Such was his love and respect for Mufti-e-Azam Hind (Alairehma).
Approximately about one and half year before he passed away on the 5th Moharramul Haram 1407 hijri he gave Ijazat (permission, authority to become a Spiritual Guide and to admit disciples) and Khilafat [an officially appointed successor] of Aliya Qadriya Barkatiya Nooriya Razviya Spiritual Linage to his honest pious and most deserving student Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahib.

Aaj tanveer Ka Pur Kaif Nazara Dekho
Kya Khabar Aisa Sama Aye Dobara Dekho
Bahar Deedare Madina Yeh Khatibul Baraaheen
Azme Hajj Le Ke chala Shaikh Hamara Dekho
Arzoo Deed Ki Hai Ashk Ki Surat Larja
Ankh Ko Hai Kahaan taakhir gawaraa Dekho
Muttaqi Aur Sakhi Aabid Wa Zahid Bankar
Zindagi Ishq E Nabi Mai Hai Guzaara Dekho
Ba Amal Wasf Baksha Hai Karamat Lekin
Auj Par Aur Muqaddar Ka Sitara Dekho
Meri Aaqa Ki Shafaat Ka Milega Mujda
Mere Aqa Ne Madine Se Pukara Dekho
Kab Dare Rashke Jina pahuchega tu aye Aabid
Log Khane Lage Yeh Ishq Ka Mara Dekho.
PERSONALITY, CHARACTER AND HABITS
Khatibul Baraaheen Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin sahib’s personality is a shining example of the Truth of Islam.
He has dedicated his life in serving the Deen of Almighty Allah, by propagating Islam, defending the exalted pedestal of Prophet Hood and educating the Muslim masses in accordance with the pristine teachings of the Holy Quran and the Hadith. He is not only a great scholar, but and also is one of the best teachers of present time.
He enlightens and educates his followers on: How to love ones religion, how to open ones doors to whomsoever knocks at, irrespective of creed or color, how to be patient in times of turmoil and odd moments, how to give love in return for hatred, sincerity for hypocrisy and friendship for hostility.
He is a great orator. He is famous for his lectures on the topics of Quran and Hadith. His lectures are loaded with proofs and references from the holy Quran and Hadith.
He wrote articles on social reform which gained popularity among the readers. These cognate articles possess vital significance for social reform in India. Some of them have been reprinted in book form while some others will be printed in the near future so that the views of the great Alim may be conveyed to the masses. The articles which have been published in book form are: 1) Dadhi Ki Ahmiyat, 2) Khane Peene Ka Islami Tariqah, 3) Barkaat E Miswaak, 4) Ikhtiyaaraat E Imamun Nabiyeen, 5)Falsafah E Qurbani,6) Barkaat E Rozah, 7) Huqooq E Walidain, 8) Fazail Nadinah, 9) Fazail E Tilawat E Quran E Mubeen, 10) Fazail E Darood, 11) Khutbaat E Khatibul Baraheen.
He is a bright example of his pious predecessors. He possessed a beautiful character and had all good habits. He is a very pleasant and gentle person and always smiles when he speaks to anyone. His respect for the elders and love for children is one of his blessed qualities.
Even though he is a great scholar, he never shows any pride over his knowledge. He respects all the Ulemas (religious scholars) and Mashaikh (spiritual masters) and humbles himself in their presence. His humbleness was another example of his exemplary character.
He always lowers his gaze when in conversation or when walking on the street.
When adorning clothes or putting his shoes, he is very conscious of not violating the Sunnah. Due to his humbleness, his dress is also the same; He wears a white Kurta and, a white Taiband and always carries Aasa in his hands.
He always sits and eats on the floor and follows the Sunnah meticulously. He evens follows the Sunnah of taking a pinch of salt before eating. His diet usually consists of roti (bread), dal, rice and Dudhi (Bottle guard).
He sleeps on his right-hand side. He never prefers anyone to lie flat on his or her face when asleep.
He prohibits Muslims from keeping Un Islamic names and names which have no meaning.
He never performs Salaah using the mike system and strongly disapproves of this.
As Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (Alairehma), he has always displayed discomfort for those who do not have proper beards and who were gaudy westernized clothes.
He strongly disapproves lack of Purdah. He disapproves of males sitting in the midst of females and never sits alone with females. He also strongly disapproves of women sitting inside Mazaars
He is an excellent example of AI Hubbu Lil Laahi Wal Bughzu fillah or love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah and Ashidaa u alal kufaari wa Ruhamaa u bainahum or Firm against the disbelievers and gentle amongst your own.
He is steadfast on the maslak of the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah. He is strictly against from all those who are against the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah, such as the Deobandis, Wahabis, Qadianis, Shias, Moudoodis and Nadwis etc. He does not keep any kind of relation ship with them. He thinks them to be the enemies of Islam.
Some famous writers have written books on his contributions. Every writer has thrown light on different aspect of his personality. Some of these books are:
1) Do Azeem shalksiyatein by Maulana Mubarak Hussain Misbahi, the Chief Editor of The Ashrafia monthly.
2) Khatibul Baraheen Ek Munfaridul Misal Shaksiyat by Mufkkir E Islam Hazrat Maulana Idris Bastavi, the Deputy Manager of Al Jamiatul Ashrafiya.
3) Aayenah E muhaddith E Bastavi by Ameerul Qalam Hazrat Maulana Maqbul Ahmed Salik Misbahi Founder of Jamia Hazrat Khawaja Qutubbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki,Delhi.
4) Khatibulbaraheen Apne Khutbaat ke Ayene mein by Khairul Azkiya Hzrat Mufti Sadrul Wara Qadri Misbahi, Teacher at Aljamiatul Ashrafiya, Mubarakpur.

6) Muhaddith E Bastavi Sunnat E Rasool Ke Ayene Mein by Maulana Tahirul Qadri,teacher jamia Kamilia Ahle Sunnat Miftahul Uloom
Not withstanding his status and knowledge his lifestyle remained the epitome of simplicity.
He is essentially a man of culture. The way he walks, sits, greets, talks to and smiles at people, his tact shown in a discussion, his patience in listening to others, all combine to make a unique mystic in the field of religion today.
He is a great mystic, with a pure selfless heart, disentangled from materialism. He is a genuine preacher that disregards ostentation and self-interest. He propagates Islam in its true pristine form and invigorates the love of Almighty Allah, his beloved Prophet (Sallallahoalaihiwasallam), and his Companions (Sahaba’s) in the hearts of mankind.
We call Him, a mystic. But what is a mystic? He is someone who cannot be put into words, as words will show us one side of him, but the other side is beyond words. A real Sufi does not care what name people call him. Who calls him a Sufi, it is not he. But if he does not call himself, someone else is sure to find a name for him, it is man that gives names. If you call yourself 'New Way', it will be made into some name of a new sect one-day. He is a mystic who cannot be described in our prose or poetry. Even if we write volumes and volumes on him, ordinary mortals like ourselves will never be able to do justice to him. We leave it other mystics to do it.
His Mother was a pious woman who was punctual in reciting the Holy Quran and the Dalaail Al Khairaat. He grew up as the manifestation of the morning prayers of his mother who used to perform the tahjjud Salah (supererogatory prayers performed at night) regularly.
His blessed parents named him Mohammed Nizamuddin. Later on he earned the Titles Such as Sufi, Muhaddith E Bastavi and Khatibul Baraaheen.
At the time of his birth people had no idea that He not only would take his Masalak and Silsila (The Spiritual Linage of Aliya Qadriya Barkatiya Nooriya Razviya Order) to great heights buts also by his Personality, Character, knowledge & Wisdom start an Silsila (The Spiritual Linage of Aliya Qadriya Barkatiya Nooriya Razviya Nizamiya Order) of his own.
Soon he was to become a true heir to the knowledge and wisdom of the His Murshid (Spiritual Master) Ghousul Waqt, Mufti-e-Azam Hind, Hadrat Maulana Mustapha Raza Khan al-Qaadiri Barkaati (Alairehmah) and Ustaads (Teachers) Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Allama Mobiuddeen Amrohi (Alairehma) [about whom Mufti Azam E Hind used to say “If anbody wants to see a Live Wali (friend of Allah) he should see Haji sahib‿ (i.e. Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Allama Mobiuddeen Amrohi Alairehma)] and Huzoor Hafiz E Millat Alhaaj Abdul Aziz Sahib Mubarakpuri (Alairehma) Al Jamiatul Ashrafia, Mubarakpur.

AS A TEACHER
After Receiving his fazilat (Degree of a Fazil) Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin started teaching in a Darul Uloom of Medawal District: Basti, Sate: UttarPradesh, India.
Soon on the orders of his respected teachers Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Abdul Mustafa Sahab Azami Alairehma and Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma he went to Gujrat where he was appointed as a lecturer at Darul Uloom Shah Alam Ahemdabad. Where he imparted knowledge for Approximate five years.
He again returned to Darul Uloom of Medawal District: Basti, Sate: Uttar Pradesh, India. For few days he performed his duties as a teacher. It was during this period Sufi Abdul Hamid Sahib Lecturer from Daru uloom Fazle Rehmania, Pachpedwa Bazar, District: Gonda, Sate: UttarPradesh, India Says “On behalf of Daru uloom Fazle Rehmania, I was sent to District Basti to appoint a Named and famous Alim e Deen (Islamic scholar). On my way I halted at a Darul Uloom in Village Medawal District: Basti, Sate: Uttar Pradesh, India where I saw an Alim e Deen (Islamic scholar) teaching his students. I offered my regards (Salaam) to the Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) and sat in one corner. This Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) had a radiant personality. His radiance reflected itself in his character and manners that he displayed. He was exemplary in every way. His actions displayed his immense love for the Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet (Sallallahoalaihiwasallam). After observing him for few moments my inner self started telling me that instead of going to the place where I had to go I should appoint this Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) for Darul Uloom Fazl Rehmania. After a few hours of conversation I was able to convince the Alim E Deen (Islamic scholar) and appointed him as the lecturer of Darul Uloom Fazl Rehmania.‿ This Alim E Deen was none other then Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab. At Darul Uloom Fazl Rehmania Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab Imparted knowledge for four years.
His respeted teacher Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma was in Bareily Shareef. He wanted to bring his beloved student closer to him. Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma sent a message to him which stated “Famous and Reputed Darul Uloom of Bareily Shareef needs your service so come to Bareily Shareef‿
On the other hand his friend Maulana Sakhawat Ali Khan Bastavi Principal of Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam amardobha wanted to make him the pillar of the Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam. The decision was hard to make. Hazrat proceeded to Bareily shareef to take advice from His respeted teacher Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma. Seeing the need of Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam Amardobha, Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma gave Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab permissiom to render his humble services to it.
After taking permission Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen Farooqi Alairehma on 14th April 1963 Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahab joined Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam Amardobha. Here he was officialy appointed as a Shaikh Ul Hadith (Master of Hatih). This Draul Uloom is recognized by the Allahabad Board and Hence According to their rules and regulations Lecturers are retired at their age of retirement. Even after his retirement Darul Uloom still wanted his services. They maintained their spiritual relation ship with Hazrat. Until now he still is the Shaikh Ul Hadith (master of Hadith) of Darul Uloom Tanveerul Islam and is still rendering his humble service without even taking salary.

Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin received Ijazat [permission, authority to become a Spiritual Guide and to admit disciples] and Khilafat [an officially appointed successor] from Qadri Barkati and Qadri Razvi Mashaikhs (spiritual Masters) and Silsilas (Spiritual Linage).
He has been given authority and has been officially appointed as successor in this Path to guide, enlighten and teach followers the true essence of Islam.
IJAZAT(Permission to become a spiritual guide) AND KHILAFAT (an officially appointed successor] FROM SILSILA(Spiritual Linage) BARKATIYA
Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin thought the Muslim students and delivered speeches in public gathering to reform the ideas and practice of Muslim community in India. On one hand he produced a sizeable group of teachers, intellectuals, and literary personalities and silenced the enemies of Islam on the other hand he wrote articles on social reform which gained popularity among the readers these cognate articles possess vital significance for social reform in India.
The Sajjadah Nashin of Khanqha E Barkatia at Marehrah Mutahharah Huzoor Ahsanul Ulema Maulana Sayed Mustafa Hyder Hasan Mia (Alairehma) noticed this diligent endeavor of him and on the blessed Occasion of Urs E Qasmi on Thursday the 20th day of Safarul Muzaffar1405 hijri (15th November 1984) In the presences of Ulema’s (Religious Scholar’s) Mashaikh’s (Spiritual Guides) gave him Ijazat (permission, authority to become a Spiritual Guide and to admit disciples) and Khilafat [an officially appointed successor] Of Aliya Qadriya Barkatiya Spiritual Linage.

Raisul Atkiya Hazrat Maulana Alhaaj Al Hafiz Mubinuddeen (Alairehma) did not start an silsila (Spiritual Linage) of his own although he had the caliber to do so. Such was his love and respect for Mufti-e-Azam Hind (Alairehma).
Approximately about one and half year before he passed away on the 5th Moharramul Haram 1407 hijri he gave Ijazat (permission, authority to become a Spiritual Guide and to admit disciples) and Khilafat [an officially appointed successor] of Aliya Qadriya Barkatiya Nooriya Razviya Spiritual Linage to his honest pious and most deserving student Khatibul Baraaheen Hazrat Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin Sahib.

Aaj tanveer Ka Pur Kaif Nazara Dekho
Kya Khabar Aisa Sama Aye Dobara Dekho
Bahar Deedare Madina Yeh Khatibul Baraaheen
Azme Hajj Le Ke chala Shaikh Hamara Dekho
Arzoo Deed Ki Hai Ashk Ki Surat Larja
Ankh Ko Hai Kahaan taakhir gawaraa Dekho
Muttaqi Aur Sakhi Aabid Wa Zahid Bankar
Zindagi Ishq E Nabi Mai Hai Guzaara Dekho
Ba Amal Wasf Baksha Hai Karamat Lekin
Auj Par Aur Muqaddar Ka Sitara Dekho
Meri Aaqa Ki Shafaat Ka Milega Mujda
Mere Aqa Ne Madine Se Pukara Dekho
Kab Dare Rashke Jina pahuchega tu aye Aabid
Log Khane Lage Yeh Ishq Ka Mara Dekho.
PERSONALITY, CHARACTER AND HABITS
Khatibul Baraaheen Sufi Mohammed Nizamuddin sahib’s personality is a shining example of the Truth of Islam.
He has dedicated his life in serving the Deen of Almighty Allah, by propagating Islam, defending the exalted pedestal of Prophet Hood and educating the Muslim masses in accordance with the pristine teachings of the Holy Quran and the Hadith. He is not only a great scholar, but and also is one of the best teachers of present time.
He enlightens and educates his followers on: How to love ones religion, how to open ones doors to whomsoever knocks at, irrespective of creed or color, how to be patient in times of turmoil and odd moments, how to give love in return for hatred, sincerity for hypocrisy and friendship for hostility.
He is a great orator. He is famous for his lectures on the topics of Quran and Hadith. His lectures are loaded with proofs and references from the holy Quran and Hadith.
He wrote articles on social reform which gained popularity among the readers. These cognate articles possess vital significance for social reform in India. Some of them have been reprinted in book form while some others will be printed in the near future so that the views of the great Alim may be conveyed to the masses. The articles which have been published in book form are: 1) Dadhi Ki Ahmiyat, 2) Khane Peene Ka Islami Tariqah, 3) Barkaat E Miswaak, 4) Ikhtiyaaraat E Imamun Nabiyeen, 5)Falsafah E Qurbani,6) Barkaat E Rozah, 7) Huqooq E Walidain, 8) Fazail Nadinah, 9) Fazail E Tilawat E Quran E Mubeen, 10) Fazail E Darood, 11) Khutbaat E Khatibul Baraheen.
He is a bright example of his pious predecessors. He possessed a beautiful character and had all good habits. He is a very pleasant and gentle person and always smiles when he speaks to anyone. His respect for the elders and love for children is one of his blessed qualities.
Even though he is a great scholar, he never shows any pride over his knowledge. He respects all the Ulemas (religious scholars) and Mashaikh (spiritual masters) and humbles himself in their presence. His humbleness was another example of his exemplary character.
He always lowers his gaze when in conversation or when walking on the street.
When adorning clothes or putting his shoes, he is very conscious of not violating the Sunnah. Due to his humbleness, his dress is also the same; He wears a white Kurta and, a white Taiband and always carries Aasa in his hands.
He always sits and eats on the floor and follows the Sunnah meticulously. He evens follows the Sunnah of taking a pinch of salt before eating. His diet usually consists of roti (bread), dal, rice and Dudhi (Bottle guard).
He sleeps on his right-hand side. He never prefers anyone to lie flat on his or her face when asleep.
He prohibits Muslims from keeping Un Islamic names and names which have no meaning.
He never performs Salaah using the mike system and strongly disapproves of this.
As Huzoor Mufti-e-Azam-e-Hind (Alairehma), he has always displayed discomfort for those who do not have proper beards and who were gaudy westernized clothes.
He strongly disapproves lack of Purdah. He disapproves of males sitting in the midst of females and never sits alone with females. He also strongly disapproves of women sitting inside Mazaars
He is an excellent example of AI Hubbu Lil Laahi Wal Bughzu fillah or love for the sake of Allah and hate for the sake of Allah and Ashidaa u alal kufaari wa Ruhamaa u bainahum or Firm against the disbelievers and gentle amongst your own.
He is steadfast on the maslak of the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah. He is strictly against from all those who are against the Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaah, such as the Deobandis, Wahabis, Qadianis, Shias, Moudoodis and Nadwis etc. He does not keep any kind of relation ship with them. He thinks them to be the enemies of Islam.
Some famous writers have written books on his contributions. Every writer has thrown light on different aspect of his personality. Some of these books are:
1) Do Azeem shalksiyatein by Maulana Mubarak Hussain Misbahi, the Chief Editor of The Ashrafia monthly.
2) Khatibul Baraheen Ek Munfaridul Misal Shaksiyat by Mufkkir E Islam Hazrat Maulana Idris Bastavi, the Deputy Manager of Al Jamiatul Ashrafiya.
3) Aayenah E muhaddith E Bastavi by Ameerul Qalam Hazrat Maulana Maqbul Ahmed Salik Misbahi Founder of Jamia Hazrat Khawaja Qutubbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki,Delhi.

6) Muhaddith E Bastavi Sunnat E Rasool Ke Ayene Mein by Maulana Tahirul Qadri,teacher jamia Kamilia Ahle Sunnat Miftahul Uloom
Not withstanding his status and knowledge his lifestyle remained the epitome of simplicity.
He is essentially a man of culture. The way he walks, sits, greets, talks to and smiles at people, his tact shown in a discussion, his patience in listening to others, all combine to make a unique mystic in the field of religion today.
He is a great mystic, with a pure selfless heart, disentangled from materialism. He is a genuine preacher that disregards ostentation and self-interest. He propagates Islam in its true pristine form and invigorates the love of Almighty Allah, his beloved Prophet (Sallallahoalaihiwasallam), and his Companions (Sahaba’s) in the hearts of mankind.
We call Him, a mystic. But what is a mystic? He is someone who cannot be put into words, as words will show us one side of him, but the other side is beyond words. A real Sufi does not care what name people call him. Who calls him a Sufi, it is not he. But if he does not call himself, someone else is sure to find a name for him, it is man that gives names. If you call yourself 'New Way', it will be made into some name of a new sect one-day. He is a mystic who cannot be described in our prose or poetry. Even if we write volumes and volumes on him, ordinary mortals like ourselves will never be able to do justice to him. We leave it other mystics to do it.
