The Chishti Sufis are a prominent order of Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam, founded in the 10th century by Abdul Chishti in Chisht, Afghanistan. They emphasize love, devotion, and the pursuit of spiritual closeness to God. Their teachings focus on inner purification and the importance of community service. Known for their inclusive approach, the Chishti Sufis attract followers from diverse backgrounds. They are famous for their musical traditions, particularly Qawwali, which is a form of devotional music that expresses love for the divine. Their shrines, often visited by pilgrims, serve as centers for spiritual learning and communal harmony.
