The Sufis of Islam claim to present the real and original picture of Islam especially emphasizing the purity of heart and inner-self.

The present article tries to explore the origin of Sufism, its gradual evolution and culmination. It also seeks to shed light on the characteristics of the Sufis of the different periods or generations as well as their ideas and approaches. Moreover, it discusses the contributions of the different Sufi Shaykhs as well as Sufi orders or Silsilahs, Qadiriyya, Suhrwardiyya, Naqshbandiyya, Kubraviyya and particularly the Chishtiyya. Keywords: Sufism, Qadiriyya, Chishtiyya, Suhrwardiyya, Kubraviyya-Shattariyya, Naqshbandiyya, Tasawwuf. 1. Introduction Sufism or Tasawwuf is the soul of religion.

It began in Chisht, a small town near Herat, Afghanistan about 930 CE. The Chishti Order is known for its emphasis on love, tolerance, and openness.[2] The Chishti Order is primarily followed in Afghanistan and South Asia. It was the first of the four main Sufi orders (Chishti, Qadiriyya, Suhrawardiyya and Naqshbandi) to be established in this region. Moinuddin Chishti introduced the Chishti Order in Lahore (Punjab) and Ajmer (Rajasthan), sometime in the middle of the 12th century AD. He was eighth in the line of succession from the founder of the Chishti Order, Abu Ishq Shami. There are now several branches of the order, which has been the most prominent South Asian Sufi brotherhood since the 12th century.[3] In the last century, the order has spread outside Afghanistan and South Asia. Chishti teachers have established centers in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and South Africa. Devotees include both Muslim immigrants from South Asia and Westerners attracted to Sufi teachings. Guiding principles The Chishti are perhaps best known for the welcome extended to seekers who belong to other religions. Chishti shrines in South Asia are open to all faiths and attract great crowds to their festivals. The Chishti shaykhs have also stressed the importance of keeping a distance from worldly power.[4] A ruler could be a patron or a disciple, but he or she was always to be treated as just another devotee.

  • Sai Baba of Shirdi – a Sufi Saint of the Chisti Order
    Sai Baba of Shirdi – A Sufi Saint of the Chisti Order This article will explore Sai Baba’s links with the Chisti Order of Sufis and discuss his spiritual predecessors and their beliefs. It will be seen that many of the sayings of Sai Baba can be traced back to his Sufi Saint Gurus (Auliya’s) almost 800 years before him. Sufism is the Mystical path of Islam. In Sufism the Guru plays a key role and the disciple merges with God through merging with his Guru. Prayer at the Holy Shrine of the Guru’s tomb is a key aspect of Sufism. Sufism encourages respect for all Sufi saints with a focus on your chosen Murshid or Guru. Sufism spread on the sub-continent of India essentially under the Chisti order starting from 12th century saint Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti (Gharib Nawaz) of Ajmer. Chist is a small town in Afghanistan. Muinuddin was preceded by 200 years of Sufism in Chist. Muinuddin is said to have moved to India on the instructions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in a dream vision. Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti (Gharib Nawaz or Helper of the poor) One of Muinuddin’s first acts was to visit the holy shrine of the 11th century Saint Al-Hujwiri (Data Ganj-Baksh or “the giver who bestows treasure”) in Lahore who belonged to the Junaidia school of Sufism which originated from Baghdad. Al-Hujwiri was the author of Kashf al-Mahjub 1 (“The Revelation of the Veiled”), the oldest Persian treatise on Sufism. This school believed in sober mysticism and that “True understanding of God should be a silent understanding”.
