He introduced and established the order in South Asia. The initial chain of the Chishti Order in India, comprising himself, Shaykh Bakhtiyar Kakli, Shaykh Baba Farid and Shaykh Nizam ud-Din Auliya, may Allah be pleased wirth them, (each successive person being the disciple of the previous one), constitutes some of the great Sufi Masters of Indian History.
