A great village, Charkh, one of the suburbs of province Luger in Afghanistan, is the birthplace of our master Yaqub Charkhi. One of the Gnostics and Quran commentators of the 9th A.H century, our master Charkhi was Khaje Baha-al-Din Naghshbandʹs disciple. He was a learned man of outward and inward knowledge. According to the document Khazineye al-Asfla he passed away in 851 A.H and his tomb in the village "Helffo" (Helftor) of the today Tajikistan, at a distance of about 5 kilometer from the city Dushanbe is the place of pilgrimage of everyone, individuals and groups. He travelled to Bokhara, Herat and Egypt to study and complete his knowledge. Until 791 A.H, when Khaje Baha-al-Din Naghshband passed away he was in Bokhara.
