History
History records it as a remote, uninhabited land which was miraculously transformed into a centre of spiritual and Islamic guidance by a prominent saint of the Naqshbandi chain, Khwaja Pir Ghulam Mohiuddin Ghaznavi.
Nerian Sharif was once a jungle, a home for wild animals covered in trees and plants. Despite its stunning beauty, the land was once unknown to many and was not easily reachable due to its location. It so happened that a time came when the spiritual teacher of Khwaja Pir Ghulam Mohiuddin Ghaznavi instructed him to leave his business & trade, and spend his years transforming the remote area into a blessed land. Together, Khwaja Ghaznavi & his younger brother, Hazrat Pir Mohammed Durrab Khan, through much prayer and struggle, turned the mountainous and strange region into a flourishing centre of religious learning and prosperity.
Due to the message of true Islamic values being spread by Khwaja Ghaznavi & his brother, people from far and wide began to travel to the area to gain understanding of their efforts. Many witnessed that the teaching of Islam was not only done through their words, but also through their examples. This eventually resulted in Nerian Sharif becoming a place for many to seek spiritual & mental satisfaction, and today thousands upon thousands visit the area daily for this same purpose.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
