Personal life & Services

When a student of the founder (Imam) of a Sufi Order is transferred to that complete mental framework (pattern of thinking) which the founder spiritually inherited from the Holy Prophet Muhammad he is called the Khanwada of that Sufi Order.
When Hazoor Qalandar Baba Auliya was about to die he blew three times at Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi's head and uttered… "You are to take my place and run my Silsila (Sufi Order) after me…the people who run a mission work obsessively".
"Khawaja Shamsuddin Azeemi Society", an organization named after him has established a public school in the remote area of Surjani Town in Pakistan especially for the benefit of children from low earning families. This Society aims to promote the education of modern science aw well as the Qur'an and Islam in general, and is planning is planning to establish high standard educational institutes, libraries and research bodies. It also has a separate Islamic School (Madrasa), Behr-ul-Noor (The Sea of Light), wholly devoted to Qur'anic education e.g Memorisation of the Qur'an (Hifz) and Arabic text reading (Nazrah).

In his words, "the same soul (Ruh) is operating in both men and women, and they are therefore both equally capable of progressing in the field of spiritualism". In his view it is mere male bigotry to consider women as inferior or less intelligent. Azeemi's mission and his invitation to the whole of mankind is that they should learn the Inner Knowledge and realise their latent potential so that they may get to know the Lord Creator of the universe, and hence enjoy a blissful life both here and in the hereafter.
