About us

A Khanqah, also known as a dargah or zawiya, is a spiritual institution where saints are nurtured, emanating the light of Shariah and Tariqah. Historically, khanqahs have provided guidance and public service, promoting love, brotherhood, and unity. They are centers of religious education and soul purification, countering societal deviations from divine commandments. Khanqah Bukhariyah in Karachi, Pakistan, is a prominent institution offering religious education and guiding individuals on the paths of Shariah and Tariqah. It addresses both spiritual and worldly matters, aiming to establish justice and balance in society. The number “89” associated with Khanqah Bukhariyah signifies divine importance as reflected in the Quran, emphasizing true faith. Named after Syed Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari from Bukhara, the khanqah continues his legacy under Syed Sharfuddin Ali Bukhari. The construction of Khanqah Bukhariyah 89 in Karachi, initiated by Syed Sharfuddin, serves as a sanctuary for the homeless, supports widows and orphans, and promotes justice and humanity. Its objectives include imparting Islamic education, serving humanity, fostering devotion to God, and inviting adherence to the straight path. The khanqah emphasizes fear of God, adherence to truth, and a life aligned with the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet (PBUH), holding weekly Quranic lessons to spread its message and ensure the continuation of its mission.
