The Chishti order is a prominent Sufi order in Islam, founded in the 10th century by the saint Abdul Chishti in present-day Afghanistan. It emphasizes love, devotion, and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge. The order is known for its inclusive approach, welcoming people from all backgrounds and promoting a deep connection with God through music, poetry, and meditation. The Chishti order gained significant influence in the Indian subcontinent, particularly during the Mughal Empire. Notable figures like Nizamuddin Auliya and Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti played key roles in spreading its teachings. The order's practices, including the use of qawwali music, continue to inspire spiritual seekers today.
