Bukhara is the homeland of 7 great Sufis of the Brotherhood Order in the beginning of Khojagans and after renamed Naqshbandiya Order. Here lived, led religious and social life great representatives of Sufism, who contributed to the formation and prosperity of Blessed Bukhara. Sufi Tour "7 Pir" begins with a trip to Khoja Abduholik Gijduvoniy. He was the first Sufi of the seven and the founder of the school of Sufism in Mowaroonnahr. Sufi Bahowuddin Naqshbandi became his follower after two centuries.Khoja Arif Revgariy was one of the most famous Sufis of Central Asia and amazingly, he taught philosophy at the age of 19. And there is little evidence about this sacred Sufi and we can know about him through his unique manuscript "Arifnom". Khoja Mahmud Mahmud Anjir Fagnavius is a famous Sufi in his time and was recognized by the spiritual authority of Maveraunahr. He was a disciple (murid) and follower of Sufi Haji Arif al-Rivgariy, mastered the craft of carpenter and devoted his whole life to labor and knowledge of Divine truth. Ali Ramitani (Khoja Azizon) is one of the famous spiritual authorities of the Sufi school of Hajagan, the greatest master of wisdom, who possessed high spiritual qualities and pronounced charisma. People nicknamed this sheikh "Azizon" ("honorable sheikh") for his popularity and holiness. Khoja Ali Ramitani mastered the weaver's craft to perfection. He is the author of the famous work "Risolai Azizon", which describes the main points of the mystical path of the Sufi. The next destination is the tomb of Sufi Boboi Samosi. He was a famous Sufi, a follower of the tradition of the Khojagan school, and a disciple of Sufi Ali Ramitani. He made a great contribution to the Khojagan school in developing the concepts and methods of Sufism, which are described in the works of his followers. He also predicted the birth of Bahowuddin Naqshband.

Lunch break.

Continuation of the excursion.

Sayyid Amir al-Kulol was one of the spiritual authorities, a sheikh of the Hajagan Sufi school. He practiced pottery and was considered the patron of all potters in Central Asia. The final road leads to the mausoleum of Bahovuddin Naqshband, who was the greatest representative of Central Asian Sufism of the XIV century. As a small boy by the age of seven he already knew the Koran by heart. Spiritual purity, renunciation of greed, voluntary poverty, no contact with the authorities, and living in a monastery were his main requirements. Bahauddin himself possessed several professions, he was a weaver, potter and metal carver. It was he who became a role model for many vagabonds who followed his example and began to earn their living by craft.
