Spiritual Guidance of Khwaja Qutb al-Din Bakhtiar Kaki Radi Allahu Anho

During his studies, Hadrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Baktiar Kaki Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho of Delhi visited Multan where Hadrat Baba Farid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho became his Murid (disciple) in the Chishtiya Silsila. Upon the instructions of his Pir-o-Murshid, he undertook a tour of Islamic countries, for about 18 years from 593 A.H. to 611 A.H. [1196 C.E. to 1214 C.E.] he travelled to Ghazni, Baghdad Sharif, Jerusalem, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Mecca and Medina meeting many great saints and Sufis. After the demise of Hadrat Khwaja Qutbuddin Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho the mantle of spiritual leadership in the Chishtiyya Silsila fell on the shoulders of Hadrat Baba Farid Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho when Khwaja Qutbuddin Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anhonominated him to be his Khalifa or spiritual successor.
