Khanqah E Hyderi is a spiritual and social institution meant for propagating the spiritual as well as social ethos and values of Islam. Khanqah is basically derived from a Persian word khand gah which means a place where one studies and contemplates upon the deeper spiritual issues and khanqah e Hyderi as an institution is meant for propagating the spiritual, social, ethical, and moral values of Islam in the backdrop of the teachings of the Ahlul Bayat عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام that is the household of prophet ﷺ. Prophet ﷺ in his parting sermon at Ghadeer E Khum said, ‘’O people I am passing down upon you to things as legacy first and foremost is the book of Allah Al-Quran ul Kareem and another legacy is Ahlul Bayat عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام my household my progeny and whosoever holds both of them steadfastly he will never go astray and with an eye towards propagating the teaching of holy Quran within the paradigm of Ahlul Bayat عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام is the first and foremost responsibility and duty of Khanqah E Hyderi.

Hazrat Ali as has been eulogized in the prophetic traditions as the gateway of the prophets city of knowledge and also Hazrat Ali عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام is the pioneer of Islamic spirituality and sainthood as has been passed down upon him by his master holy prophet ﷺ and that is why within the spiritual circles of Islam Hazrat Ali ibn Ali Talib عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام is know as Shah E Wilayat that is the king of the sainthood and in fact all the Silsilas and lineages of Islamic Sufism, Spirituality or Mysticism culminate in the personality of Hazrat Shah e wilayat Ali عَلَیهِ‌السَّلام.
