Mahmud Anjir Fagnawi 

Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi studied Sufism education from Orif Revgari (the second pir of Bukhara Sharif famous as Mohitobon), he was the perfect man of his time, and gave others the light of truth.

The great sheikh of Khojagon education Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi was born in 1196 according to Arabic sources. He was born in the village of Anjir Faghnavi, Vabkent district of Bukhara Region. Now, this blessed address is called Anjirbog. Sheikh's original blessed name is Mahmud. Mahmud is the Arabic word means praised and good. 

The Anjir Faghnavi is the name given to the birthplace of Faghnavi. Also, there are beautiful signs outlined by this person about the fig. Although the texts of the stories are different, they are one essence 

Sheikh Mahmud will be asked to give fruits during the winter season. Then he put their hands on the pure earth,and took fresh figs. The legend about fig was happened by Fagnavi. It is clear that the divine sign should focus on the mystery of the fig. When man's father Adam and his mother Eve asked for leaves from trees to cover their nakedness because of lack of clothing in Paradise, the fig tree only satisfied their request. For this purpose, Allah has glorified figs and revealed in Surat al-Tîn, Surah Anjir. 

It is said that mushki anbar (good smell) is made from the animals which are feed by fig tree leaves. So, Anjir Faghnavi also told that people must be useful for others and be good persons.

Mahmud Anjir Fagnaviy always lived up to his honesty. He was engaged in craftiness, carpentry, and trade.There is some information about him in “Manoqibi Khoja Abdulkholik Gijduvoni” by Mahdumi Azam: “Khoja Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi was great person of Sufism education, he was tought tariqat and shariat by Khoja Orif, and divine science from Khoja Abdulkholik Gijduvani.”

Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi served Khoja Orif Revgari was the most perfect student and follower. He was a close friend of Orif Revgari's sufism sciences. As a result, he reached such a level of maturity that he was described as "his wisdom leak through his finger". Allah the Almighty gave his blessings to the hearts of the righteous believers, purified their hearts from darkness, and snatched their curtain over them with mercy because of him.

There are some words about his maturity status in “Manoqibi Khoja Abdulkholik Gijduvani” by Mahdumi Azam: “When Khoja Mahmud says “Ya Rabbiy”(o my God), there is the answer of Allah “Labbayka ya abdi”(yes my slave) ”. They say that Satan(Devil) has been walking with him for 12 years to mislead Khoja Mahmud. One evening he came to see Mahmud with a candle. Khoja Mahmud was at buried place of Khoja Abdulkholik The Devil asked Hoja Mahmud, "How long is the forty trip distance?" This was the purpose of the devil, when Khoja Mahmoud replied "I am a man", that is, manga. Man (I am) is considered to be proving himself to be a sect, and it is inappropriate. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "La takilni ila nafsi '(do not leave me alone).

Khoja Mahmud knew the purpose of the devil and replied "Hasht and panj" (eight or five) trips. (So, eight or five trips a mile). When he heard this answer, Satan put his head on the ground and said, "For 12 years, I could not make him mislead, so why to stand with him?"

A loud voice remembering is one of the main acts of Sufism that help the perfection of human beings and lead them to vigilance and cognition by awakening their sleep is zikr (remembering Allah all the time). Abdulkholiq Gijduvani and Orif Revgari performed a ridiculous secret, that is, a silence remembering.

Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi with the permission of his teacher, he began to introduce a loud voice remembering (zikri jahriya) which he performed with loud voices. When they ask him about the reasons, he replies: "It is because we have chosen the way of this remembrance, so that to awake those who sleep. Let them be free from ignorance and be submissive to the Shari'ah and the Laws. Let them attain the happiness of the two worlds, the privilege of being a servant of the true Allah. I want to awaken the sleeper and the deceased, so that they should turn to the truth and repent with their Lord in sincerity. Indeed, turning to Allah is a sign and key of happiness."

According to Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi there is the same aim of silent and loud voice remembering- to reach to truth, Allah. There is importance of situation, advice, wisdom. Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi was the teacher of “the twelve Circle” and brought up many people. In “Rashahot aynul hayot” by Ali Safi there is a story: Khoja Ali Rometani asked Khizr “Whom to chose as a teacher at the moment?” Khizr replied “At this moment chose Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi as a teacher” According to the advice of Khizr Khoja Ali Rometani (famous as Azizon) was a student of Mahmud Anjir Faghnavi.
