Kabul-born Khwaja Baqi Billah, authorized by Amkanagi, settled in Delhi and is regarded as the founder of the Naqshbandi order in India. In a teaching career of barely two or three years he trained Imam Rabbani Ahmad Sirhindi, laying the ground for the Mujaddidi branch. He died on 25 Rabi' al-Akhir 1012 (2 October 1603) and was buried near the Qadamgah in Delhi's Nabi Karim quarter, where his dargah remains a major place of visitation; no cross-verified coordinates were found for the tomb, so no pin is given.
