About this title

About the Author:

Born and raised in India, Hazrat Azad Rasool received his B.A. from Jamia Millia Islamia (the National Muslim University), his B.Ed. from Allahabad University, and his M.A. in philosophy from Aligarh Muslim University, which included specializing in both Hindu and Islamic thought. His career included thirty years service to Jamia Millia Islamia, where he worked first as an instructor and later as principal.

Drawn towards spiritual pursuits from an early age, he tried different paths and ultimately met his teacher. He spent thirty years with his shaykh, Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Sa'id Khan, from whom he received permission to instruct seekers in a methodology where the practices of five major Sufi orders have converged.

While remaining a husband, father, grandfather, teacher, headmaster, community leader, and respected elder, his life encapsulated what a true Sufi is: he became a model of that towards which he now guides others. The principle of his life is "living to give rather than to take."
