History
Al Khitabeya was started by Hazrat Syed Pir Khitab Shah Alayhi Rahma.
Hazrat Syed Pir Khitab Shah
Hazrat Syed Pir Khitab Shah was born in Manserah, Pakistan in 1906. He was the mureed of his maternal uncle Hazrat Shah Waleeulah Masheedi Alayhi Rahma from whom he received education and inspiration. He began working on board a ship where he spent many years in worship, zikr, meditation and contemplation.
People from all over the world benefited from his spiritual presence as the ship docked at different harbours. South Africa was particularly blessed as he visited many times from 1950 until the late 1990’s, teaching people, initiating mureeds and helping the sick and the hopeless. South Africans witnessed many miracles of this great personality and fondly referred to him as Bawajee.
In Pakistan, he worked to uplift the impoverished community of Landi where he set up an orphanage caring for many children, clothing them, feeding them, giving them love and affection and most of all ensuring that they received education. Over the years, Bawajee established a madressa and masjid in Landhi to cater for the needs of the community and through his efforts, the Al Khitabeya Institute grew and the muslim community in Landhi began to flourish. His mazaar is at the Al Khitabeya Complex in Landhi.

Qari Abdul Latiff Chishti Taji Alayhi Rahma
Alama Qari Abdul Latiff Chishti Taji was the Khalifa of Hazrat Syed Pir Khitab Shah and spent many years in his service. He was instrumental in the administration and growing of Al Khitabeya and in continuing the vision and mission of Bawajee. He was born in Azad Kashmir in 1950 and was descended from the Moghul Khans. He travelled in search of knowledge and was directed to go to Karachi where he became the mureed of Hazrat Syed Pir Khitab Shah. He dedicated his life and family to the fulfillment of Bawajee’s mission. Bawajee who had no children of his own, took Qari Abdul Latiff’s children as his legacy and they were dedicated to the cause of dawah from a very young age. Qari Abdul Latiff was renowned for his loving and calm nature and will always be remembered for his contribution to building Al Khitabeya and for the help and care he gave to anyone in the community who was in need. His mazaar is at the Al Khitabeya complex in Landhi.
Today, as was the instruction of Bawajee, Al Khitabeya is run by the sons of Qari Abdul Latiff Chishti. Under their guidance and dedication, Al Khitabeya has become Jamia Al Khitabeya which includes a school catering for secular education for over 700 children from kindergarten to grade 12 level, a madressa ensuring that more than 1100 children from the community receive basic Islamic education free of charge, a Hifz and Qiraah institute as well as a college training future Ulema both boys and girls.
