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.
