This research paper explores the fascinating connection between Neimatullah Shah Wali, a prominent figure in Islamic history, and his role as a bridge between Sufism and Islamic eschatology. It delves into his life, teachings, and philosophical contributions, examining his unique position in connecting these two significant aspects of Islamic thought. Primary sources and scholarly analysis are used to shed light on Neimatullah Shah Wali’s interpretation of eschatological themes within the framework of Sufism. The paper highlights his influence as a Sufi mystic, analyzes his writings to understand his interpretations of eschatological concepts, and discusses the implications of his teachings on the understanding of eschatology within the Sufi tradition. This study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between mystical spirituality and eschatological beliefs in Islam, emphasizing the significance of studying influential figures like Neimatullah Shah Wali to enrich our comprehension of the diverse dimensions of Islam and their interconnectedness.
