Wali Kirani is one of the foremost saints of his time. He is a Husseini Syed and was from the line of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi's (the 10th imam) son, Hazrat Imam Hassan Asghar. He was a descendent of Khwaja Maudood Chishti and because of this was known as "Moudodi Chishti" . His father was Khwaja Naqr-ud-din (Shal Pir baba). Khwaja Naqr-ud-din along with his two brothers left Chisht and migerated to Minziki Pishin, where one of his brother's Khwaja Ali took permanent residence and his tomb is also in Minziki but Khwaja Naqr-ud-din continued ahead to Quetta and settled there.

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:

    For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    The role of the stepmother is the most difficult of all, because you can’t ever just be. You’re constantly being tested—by the children, the neighbors, your husband, the relatives, old friends who knew the children’s parents in their first marriage, and by yourself.
    —Anonymous Stepparent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)

    We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
