This is the maqam of Shaykh Abdullah al khan, inside the pondok Pesantren At Taufiqy, Pekalongan. Shaykh Abdullah wrote the manaqib of the Imamul Tariqa Khawaja Shah Bahauddin Naqshband q.s According to some historical sources, he is the descendant of Kurdish Ulama and sufi scholar. There are some history indicated he is an ahlul bayt. He was instructed by his murshid to travel to South East Asia to spread the teaching of the Naqshbandi tariqa in Java and other parts of South East Asia.
(some narration claimed he was from the kurdish area in Iraq while some argued, it was syria)
Although, there are many versions on the history of Tariqa in Java itself, we cant deny the contributions of Shaykh Abdullah al Khan. During his lifetime, the Naqshbandi Tariqa was spread rapidly from Java to Sumatra and other parts of South East Asia such as Singapore and Malaysia. He brought the spiritual culture of Central Asia and localized it through his beautiful teachings which fill with wisdoms. Until today, the Naqshbandi tariqa continue its tradition with the spiritual practices and propogating peace, love and tolerance within the society.
The routine of the students in the pondok would be the ziyarah to the Maqam of Shaykh Abdullah al Khan in the morning after their wirid.
