Al-Durar al-Saniyyah fi Tarajim al-Silsilah al-‘Aliyyah: Biographies of the Shaykhs of the Chishtiyya, Nizamiyya, Mihria, Ghafuriyya, Salamiya, and Bashiriya Orders (Chain of the Shaykhs of Pir Sabak)

Abstract

This research paper, titled "Al-Durar al-Saniyya fi Tarajim al-Silsila al-Aliyya: Ahwal al-Mashaikh al-Chishtiyya," explores the historical and spiritual lineage of the Chishti Nizami Mahravi Sufi order. The study focuses on the lives and contributions of the eminent masters of this chain, beginning with the foundational figure, Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti, and tracing the succession through Sultan-ul-Auliya Nizamuddin Auliya, Shah Suleiman Taunsvi, and Shah Meher Ali Shah, up to the contemporary mentorship of Bashir Ahmad al-Madani. By utilizing primary Sufi texts and historical records, the article highlights the order's emphasis on "Ishq-e-Ilahi" (Divine Love), spiritual discipline, and the preservation of the Prophetic tradition. The research provides a structured biographical framework that serves as a valuable resource for scholars of Islamic mysticism and the socio-religious history of the South Asian region.
