Author(s) : Dr. Hafiz Mansoor Ahmad

Abstract:

Ali Hujveri is one of the best known Sufis of the world. His exposition of Sufi doctrine and practice are distinguished not only by his wide learning and first-hand knowledge but also by the strong personal character impressed on everything he writes. He has presented his Sufi wisdom and teachings in his everlasting work Kashf-ul-Mahjoob (written in the reply of the questions of his friend Abu saeed Hujveri on some mystic concepts).This paper discusses his views regarding the responsibility of an individual towards the decency of the society, with reference of his denoted magnum opus. It is explored that Hujveri’s views are highly valuable for building a sound Islamic society.
