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. His tomb is near the Old fort Quetta. His other brother Khwaja Ibrahim continued ahead, settled in Mastung and his tomb is also in Mastung, Balochistan.

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.)

“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Do you suppose I could buy back my introduction to you?”
—S.J. Perelman, U.S. screenwriter, Arthur Sheekman, Will Johnstone, and Norman Z. McLeod. Groucho Marx, Monkey Business, a wisecrack made to his fellow stowaway Chico Marx (1931)
