He worked as a bridge between India and Arab lands and Turkey for transmission of Mujaddadi Naqashbandi teachings. He was also areligious and literary scholar and wr[1]ote some valuable books in Arabic, Persian and Kurdi. From hi Persian works, the Farayid alfawaid Sharh atbaq alzahb, Bughyatul alwajed (Arabic and Persian letters) and Diwan are noteworthy. He was inspired in his poetry by Mawlana Saadi, Hafiz Shirazi, Jami and Mahmud Shabastarvi.

Ahmed Ziyauddin Gumuskhanevi belongs to the Khalidi Sufi order. He emphasizes the teaching of hadith but also made a valuable contribution to tasawwuf through such work as Jamiul usul, Ramuz al-Ahadith, Gharib al-Ahadth, Lawami al-Uqul, Lataif al-Hakuim, Hadith al-abain, Majmuatu Ahzab, and Ruhal-arif. In this paper, I will highlight the contribution of  these two figures to literature ans Sufism.
