Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani on Tuesday sent a 'chadar' (shawl) for the Ajmer Sharif Dargah on the 809th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty through the Afghan embassy in India.
President Ghani wrote in a letter to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah chairman, “It is a singular honour to offer the chadar and as an Afghan and as a student of Sufi order for over 50 years, I have been fascinated with the character, impact and reach of Khawaja Garib Nawaz. Despite a thousand years, there is much to study and learn from the way the Chishty order the spread from a district in Herat to becoming a moral force in the continent.”
He stated that the Chishty Order is still thriving in Afghanistan. Chisht sharif, a district in Herat province, is one of the only two places in Afghanistan that carries the suffix of Sharif (noble), he added.
The other place is Mazar-e-Sharif, a city in ancient Balkh province. In Uzbekistan, Bukhara has also carried the name of Sharif with it, he said.
