Biography

In 2011, Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi travelled to India and addressed in few organized programs at Eidgah Bilali Mansab tank and Chanchalguda Junior College in Hyderabad.[3] He also spoke at programs in the Masjid Rasheed of Darul Uloom Deoband and at Darul Uloom Waqf, Deoband.[5]

In December 2018, Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi said that conspiracies against the belief of Finality of Prophethood are a matter of concern for Muslims. Ahmadis / Qadyanis must be made to follow the law of the country, and they should be removed from the key posts.[6]

Naqshbandi was at the center of a controversy relating to inappropriate mixing with women which prompted Mufti Taqi Usmani and the Darul Uloom Karachi to issue a fatwa (decree) discouraging from free interaction with women that go against the Shariah. The decree also encouraged him to follow the teachings of Islam in social situations. [7] A question asked at the Darul Ifta of Darul Uloom Deoband about Naqshbandi's reliability was answered as "Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi is a credible elderly figure of the Naqshbandi order and follows the same track as of the scholars of Deoband".[8]

Mr. Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi was among the world's 500 most influential Muslims during 2013 / 14. The 500 Most Influential Muslims.[9]

Even though Sufi intellectual output has fallen in modern times, Naqshbandi remains an exception and has published widely.[10]
