Chishti genealogy

The Chishti genealogy traces the spiritual lineage of the Chishti Sufi order, originating from the Prophet Muhammad through a series of revered teachers. It begins with Prophet Muhammad’s family, followed by a chain of spiritual successors known as Sultans or Saints, who spread the teachings of love, peace, and devotion in South Asia. This lineage emphasizes the importance of spiritual transmission and guidance, passed down through generations to maintain the order's integrity. Essentially, it maps how spiritual knowledge and practices are authentically inherited within the Chishti tradition, grounding its teachings in a direct spiritual connection to Muhammad.
