'''Pir-o-Murshid Mohammed Ali Khan''' (1881–1958) was the leader of the [[Inayati Order|International Sufi Movement]] from 1948 until his death. He was a second cousin of [[Inayat Khan]], the grandson of Inayat's grandfather and therefore according to Indian custom considered a brother.<ref>List of Names and Titles in Sufipedia https://sufipedia.org/en/personenregister/the-family/</ref><br />
<br />
Ali Khan was born in [[Baroda]] on 7 July 1881 and died on 29 September 1958 in [[The Hague]]. He is buried at the [[Oud Eik en Duinen]] cemetery in The Hague. On his tombstone his name is written as Pir-o-Murshid Mohammad Ali Khan.<br />
Ali Khan apart from Indian classical music, received training in European music, and played the trumpet trombone and bagpipes. As a young man, he was also keenly interested in [[physical culture]] and wrestling, which, in the words of the biography of Inayat Khan, "prepared him to become an iron wall to stand in support of Inayat against many opposing influences."<br />
<br />
In the West, Ali Khan continued his musical career, receiving training in operatic singing from Mme. [[Emma Nevada]], who recognized great potential in his tenor voice, and even appearing on the stage of [[La Scala]].<br />
<br />
Ali Khan was believed by some to possess a natural gift of healing, a gift which they say was developed immeasurably through his deep devotion. There are many stories of friends and mureeds receiving help from his touch, his glance, or by prayers and absent healing, but in reply to their thanks he would humbly point to heaven and say, 'Not I. God.'<br />
