Hadhrat Khwja Azzn Al Rmtan quddisa sirruhu (585-715 AH) was born in Ramitan, a
town located near four miles from Bukhara (now Uzbekistan), circa 585 AH. He was also called
Nassj, meaning weaver, as initially he used to weave clothes.
By the orders of Khwja Khidr, he became a disciple of Khwja Mahmood Anjr-Faghnaw and
received spiritual mentorship. He was the chief deputy and was appointed as the main successor
by the shaykh. According to some reports, he also benefited from Mawln Jall ad-Dn Rm.
He migrated to a town called Bward, and later migrated to Khwarezm where he lived to the end.
Although his name was Al Rmtan, he was often remembered as Khwja Azzn as he used to
call himself Azzn. People of Khwarezm used to call him Khwja Al Bward.
He had two sons:
1. Khwja Muhammad alias Khwja Khurd. He was the elder son. He passed away 19 days
after his fathers death, on Thursday the 17th of Dhul-Hijja, 715 A.H (11 March 1316 CE)
[Rashaht].
2. Khwja Ibrhm. He was younger son, and was made a deputy by Khwja Azzn. He died in
793 AH (1391 CE).
His younger son Khwja Ibrhm wrote a book about his father and master.
Among his deputies, following are recorded in Rashaht and other books:
1. Khwja Muhammad Khurd quddisa sirruhu, his elder son
2. Khwja Ibrhm quddisa sirruhu, his younger son
3. Khwja Muhammad Kulhdz quddisa sirruhu
4. Khwja Muhammad Hallj Balkh quddisa sirruhu
5. Khwja Muhammad Bward quddisa sirruhu
6. Khwja Muhammad Bb Samms quddisa sirruhu
He reached an extraordinary age of 130 years. The author of Rashaht records his date of death
as Monday, the 28th of Dhul-Qada, 715 AH (23 February 1316 CE). He is buried in Khwarezm
where his shrine is a place of pilgrimage.
He was once asked: what is Iman (faith)? He replied: (it is) to get out (from ego) and meet (the
lord).
He once said: be a companion of Allah Almighty; if you cannot accompany the God, then
accompany those who are companions of God. Because one who accompanies a companion of
God, is also a companion of God.
He once said: supplicate with a tongue that has never sinned. It means you should please the
friends of God with humbleness so that they supplicate to God on your behalf.
He said: do not sit with an egotist; sit with one who is free from ego.
Once, while Khwaja Azizan was sitting in meditation, some pretender asked him as a test: what
is Tasawwuf? He said: to break and to meet. It means to break from everything other than
God and meet with God.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/alarramitani-150422194837-conversion-gate02/85/Al-ar-ramitani-1-320.jpg)
