Chishti Order

The Chishti Order is a prominent Sufi spiritual tradition founded in the 10th century in Persia and later flourishing in the Indian subcontinent. It emphasizes love, tolerance, and devotion to God through music, poetry, and community service. The order is known for its inclusive approach, welcoming people from all backgrounds. Key figures, such as Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, who established the order in India, focus on spiritual enlightenment and the development of a direct personal relationship with the divine. Today, Chishti shrines continue to attract followers seeking spiritual guidance and healing.
