The land of Hind has had been center of Sufiya since centuries and uncountable Sufiz had come here to preach and spent their whole lives in this land till died.  Sufism began and evolved with the teachings of Khawaja Hasan Basri and then four major Sufis came into existence, one of which is the Chishtiya Sufi order. It started with Hazrat Ishaaq Shaami, Hazrat Ziauddin Chishti and then spread to the land of India by Hazrat Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti a caliph of Khawaja Usman Haruni. After him, through Khawaja Bakhtiar Kaki, Fariduddin Masood Ganj Shakar, Nizamuddin Auliya and Hazrat Chirag Dehlavi.
