After
completing
his initial
Islamic
education in
Ghazna at
the hands of
greatest
Sufi Saints
and Awliya
Allah he
decided to
travel far
and wide
across many
Islamic
countries
such as
Syria to
Turkistan,
Tus, Uzkand,
Mihna, Merv,
Samarkand,
Iraq, India,
and
Afghanistan
to gain
further
spiritual
knowledge
and meet
various Sufi
Saints. He
also visited
the holy
lands of
Makkah and
Madinah
Sharif where
he performed
two hajj. He
visited
various Sufi
Shrines and
tombs and
received
much
spiritual
blessings
that also
benefited in
spreading
Islam across
the Indian
continent.
He mentions
at times in
his book
that there
were many
hard times
during his
travelling
but he
managed with
them all.
During this
time, he
used to go
to different
places and
invited
people to
Islam with
love, peace
and noble
message.
Many people
accepted
Islam at his
hands due to
his great
conduct,
manners,
spirituality
and love. He
met a record
300 Shekihs
of Khurasan,
?who had
such
mystical
endowments
that a
singly man
of them
would have
been enough
for the
whole
world?. He
himself
makes this
statement
about them
in his book
Kashf al-Mahjub,
translated
into English
