Early life

Hadhrat Khakwani’s respected maternal grandmother (RA) had a dream around 20 years before his birth in which she saw a child and was informed that he is your son. She was instructed to name him ‘Nasiruddin’. After Hazrat Khakwani was born, Hadhrat Sayyid ‘Ataullah Shah Sahib Bukhari (RA) paid a visit to Hazrat Khakwani’s home in Multan and he instructed that the word ‘Hafiz’ be added to Hadhrat’s name (moreover, it was a well known speciality of the Khakwani family to have the children memorize the Qur’an Majeed in their childhood).
