Himself the son of a shepherd (some say from the _Gujar tribe_), the Akhund (born Abdul Ghafur) became a disciple of a local pir of the Qadiriya Sufi order named Sahibzada Muhammad Shwaib, who taught him the ritual formulae that are recited in the practice known as zikr.

ISBN978-1-136-83957-3. On this frontier, for example, the Akhund of Swat was _not a Pashtun_ (he may have been a _Gujar_) and the Hadda Mullah, who was a Pashtun, established himself in an area where he had no local connections (Roy 1996: 59, Ahmed 1976: 94, D.B. Edwardes 1986: 282).
