The Spread of 'Ishqiyyah Order in India According to Shaikh Qāzin Shaṭṭarī

'Ishqiyyah or Shaṭṭārī order is a Sufi order established in India in 15th century by Shāh 'Abdulla Shaṭṭārī . He travelled all around the India from east to west and tried to promote this order. He finally settled in Mandu and died there. His order spread to the east of India by his successor, Shaikh Qāzin. It seems that Shāh 'Abdulla believed that his tradition rooted in Khorasanian path of love differed from what prevailed in India. Before Shāh 'Abdulla Shaikh Najmiddin Kubra had talked about the path of love as the path of Shaṭṭar but this term in his works was just a general term. However Shāh 'Abdulla based on this genera term established a Sufi order. From then on Shaṭṭar has become a specific term which indicates his followers.
