14. Chishti
Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti introduced the Chishti Order in Ajmer (Rajasthan, India)
sometime in the middle of the 12th century.
It began in Chisht, a small town near Herat, Afghanistan, about 930 CE.
The Chishti Order is known for its emphasis on love, tolerance, and openness.
The Chishti Order is primarily followed in Afghanistan and the Indian
subcontinent, Pakistan and Bangladesh
It was the first of the four main Sufi orders
In the last century, the order has spread outside Afghanistan and the Indian
subcontinent. Chishti teachers have established centers in the United Kingdom,
the United States, Australia, and Eastern and Southern Africa.

The order relies strongly upon adherence to the fundamentals of Islam.
The order, with its many offshoots, is widespread, particularly in the Arabic-
speaking world, and can also be found
in Turkey, Indonesia, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan,

17. Suhrawardiyya
The Suhrawardiyya is a Sufi order founded by the Sufi Diya al-din Abu 'n-Najib
as-Suhrawardi (1097 – 1168 CE).
It is a strictly Sunni order, guided by the Shafi`i school of Islamic law (madhhab),
and, like many such orders, traces its spiritual genealogy (silsila) to Ali ibn Abi
Talib through Junayd Baghdadi and al-Ghazali.
Sheikh Umar directed his disciple Baha-ud-din Zakariya to make Multan in
present-day Pakistan
