Abstract
The journey of a sincere and pious Muslim to the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah for Hajj and Umrah are the blessed and unique among other travels because he is granted with special spiritual blessings and experiences. Although many scholars and spiritual guides have recorded their experiences of Hajj and Umrah for the benefits of coming generations, Khawaja Ghulam Farid Chishti of Kot Mitthen Pakistan is unique in the sense that he wrote his experiences in very sweet Kafis—a special kind of poetry—of the Saraiki language. His description is not only of what he saw openly, observed materially and experienced spiritually, but also it contains valuable Sufi lessons for those who intend to go for Hajj and Umrah. There are two basic questions of research on this topic. Firstly, what experiences of Khawaja Ghulam Farid are found in his Kafis which he wrote during his journey of Hajj and Umrah? Secondly, what are the manners and etiquettes he intended to teach to those who want to visit Makkah and Madinah for Hajj and Umrah? This research follows analytical and descriptive method to investigate the answers of these questions. The findings of this research are helpful in improving peace and harmony of a Muslim with Almighty Allah, the Holy Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him), the people of Makkah and Madinah, his Muslim fellows and humanity in large.
