He excelled in the knowledge of Hadith, history, and ʻilm al-ansāb. He wrote several books on Islamic mysticism and philosophy in Persian and Arabic. His most famous work is "Munajat Namah" (literally 'Litanies or dialogues with God'), which is considered a masterpiece of Persian literature. After his death, many of his sayings recorded in his written works transmitted by his students were included in the Tafsir of Maybudi, "Kashf al-Asrar" (The Unveiling of Secrets). This is among the earliest complete Sufi Tafsirs (exegesis) of the Quran and has been published several times in 10 volumes.

He used to avoid the company of the rich, powerful and the influential. His yearly majlis-e wa'az was attended by people from far and wide. Whatever his disciples and followers used to present to him was handed over to the poor and the needy. He is said to have had a very impressive personality, and used to dress gracefully.

as it is a little far from the heart of the city It is quiet and a cosy place to stay for a short time and to set prayers . the architecture of the place is amazing . It would be very strange place to see for the first time the tomb is surrounded by the other graves
people of herat love this man and this place
Khawje abdullah ansari was one of the greatest literators of the history, his books and speeches in persian and arabic are well-known .

This shrine is really a home of all the blessed souls and almighty.
The slightly colorful entrance and the long red carpet welcome is really a VIP treatment and somewhat exciting too.
The best time to visit the shrine is in a moonlit night or inthe night when the shrine is flooded with the light.
Everything is so shining and exploding with the aura of divine powers.
Visit the shrine once every year and be blessed 🙌.

It is literally a zen place. As it is a little far from the heart of the city It is quiet and a cosy place to stay for a short time and to set prayers . the architecture of the place is amazing . It would be very strange place to see for the first time the tomb is surrounded by the other graves.

Light and spacious Victorian building that embodies what is right about municipal facilities. The Victorian Street is very well done and rivals that of The Museum of London. It would be great to there with young children The Pilkington pottery was an added bonus and very well curated. We loved the Salford 10 crafts and were very tempted to buy a tapestry hanging

A sacred place in Afghanistan. Herat, Gazar Gah - the places to visit.

It would be very strange place to see for the first time the tomb is surrounded by the other graves people of heart love this man and this place Khawje abdullah ansari was one of the greatest literators of the history, his books and speeches in persian and arabic are well-known, Enjoyed well
