Biography
In 2011, Naqshbandi travelled to India and addressed in few organized programs at Eidgah Bilali Mansab tank and Chanchalguda Junior College in Hyderabad.[2] He also spoke at programs in the Masjid Rasheed of Darul Uloom Deoband and at Darul Uloom Waqf, Deoband.[4]
In December 2018, Naqshbandi said that conspiracies against the belief of Finality of Prophethood are a matter of concern for Muslims. Ahmadi's must be made to follow the law of the country, and they should be removed from the key posts.[5]
A question asked at the Darul Ifta of Darul Uloom Deoband about Naqshbandi's reliability was answered as "Zulfiqar Ahmad Naqshbandi is a credible elderly figure of the Naqshbandi order and follows the same track as of the scholars of Deoband".[6]
Even though Sufi intellectual output has fallen in modern times, Naqshbandi remains an exception and has published widely.[7]
