This website has been created as Isal-e-Thawab for my late father, Haji Muhammad Pehalwan Khan Naqshbandi (RA).

They were born on 7th May 1939 in Rajdhani, Azad Kashmir, and passed away on 30th November 2025. They arrived in the UK in 1962 and played an active role in establishing Golden Mosque, the first mosque in Rochdale.

My father took bay‘ah from Hazrat Baba Jee Pir Syed Muhammad Shabeer Ali Shah Gillani Naqshbandi Mujaddidi and were a regular presence at their Aastana on James Street, Rochdale, from  1970s onwards, after Hazrat Baba Jee Sarkar arrived in the UK. As the number of Pir Bhai’s grew, there arose a need for a larger building. In 1992, a building was purchased which was originally a church and then converted into a Mosque and is now known Jamia Hedderia on Mitchell Street, Rochdale. My father continued to support this work both physically and financially, especially during the refurbishment projects.

From 2020 onwards, my father completely lost sight in their left eye and retained only 30–40% vision in their right eye. Despite this, they would regularly watch all of my live-stream coverage on television at home and constantly encouraged me to continue with the LIVE streams so those that couldn’t attend the Mosques could watch from home. There were occasions when someone else covered the live stream from the venue, and they would call me to say the coverage wasn’t good. I would laugh and tell them it wasn’t me that day — I had asked someone else to do it. They knew the level of quality I put into the LIVE streams.

As I continue, bi fadlillah, to carry out the work for streaming Islamic Events and Programming to spread beneficial knowledge to every viewer across UK and the Globe, I intend the Thawāb (spiritual reward) from Allah to be given as Sadka Jariya to my beloved Abu Jee who would always unconditionally love and support my efforts.
