Hazrat Shah Mirza Agha Mohammad Qadri Chishti Niyazi Nizami (R) was a distinguished spiritual disciple within the Niyazi branch of the Chishti‑Nizami and Qadri Sufi traditions. He belonged to the rich spiritual lineage of Hazrat Shah Niyaz Ahmad Barelvi (R.A.), the founder of the Niyazi Silsila, whose Khanqah was originally established in Bareilly in 1773 under the guidance of his Murshid, Hazrat Fakhr‑e‑Jahan (R.A.) . Agha Mohammad Qadri emerged as a Khalifa (spiritual successor) appointed to spread this tradition further, particularly into the region of Jabalpur . Recognizing the spiritual need in Jabalpur, he established Khanqah‑e‑Nizamiya—a center for spiritual instruction, devotees’ gatherings, and Sufi devotion. Though specific founding dates for the Jabalpur khanqah aren’t documented in available sources, it reflects the broader expansion of the Niyazi network through his lineage. The khanqah serves as both a dargah, housing the tomb of Hazrat Shah Mirza Agha Mohammad Qadri, and a hub for activities including Mehfil‑e‑Sama (qawwali gatherings), communal langar, dhikr, and annual Urs celebrations that welcome devotees across faiths. The tradition emphasizes inclusivity, devotional music, scholarly learning, and spiritual healing—hallmarks of the Niyazi tradition inherited from its Bareilly origins
