The Chishti Order was founded by (Khawaja) Abu Ishaq Shami ("the Syrian") (d. 941) who brought Sufism to the town of Chisht, some 95 miles east of Herat in present-day Afghanistan. Before returning to the Levant, Shami initiated, trained and deputized the son of the local Amir, (Khwaja) Abu Ahmad Abdal (d. 966). Under the leadership of Abu Ahmad’s descendants, the Chishtiyya as they are also known, flourished as a regional mystical order.
The most famous of the Chishti saints is Moinuddin Chishti (also known as Khawaja Baba) who settled in Ajmer, India. He oversaw the growth of the order in the 13th century as religious laws were canonized. He saw the Islamic prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) in a dream and then set off on a journey of discovery.
Other famous saints of the Chishti Order are Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi, Fariduddin Ganjshakar of Pak Pattan, Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki and Hazrat Makhdoom Ashraf Semnani of Kichocha Shareef
The Chishti Order is famous for its emphasis on love, tolerance, openness and ecstasy. The Order traces its origins through various saints all the way to Ali and Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) himself.
Sema or Qawwali is a type of devotional music to enhance the remembrance of Allah and is not a part of worship or prayer.
Followers of Inayat Khan claim he was the first to bring the Chishti Order to North America.
Followers of Sikh Saint Kabir think he was also part of the Chishti order.

सती शब्द का उल्लेख पुराणों में दर्ज एक कथा में किया गया है। भगवान शिव की पहली पत्नी का नाम सती था जिन्हें ‘देवी सती’ के नाम से पुकारा जाता था। देवी सती ने अपने पिता दक्ष द्वारा अपने पति भगवान शिव के तिरस्कार से व्यथित हो यज्ञ की अग्नि में कूदकर आत्मदाह कर लिया था।
देवी सती से अपने पति का तिरस्कार देखा नहीं गया, इसीलिए उन्होंने खुद को नष्ट कर इस पाप से मुक्त होने का निश्चय किया। लेकिन उनके द्वारा आत्मदाह करने का यह फैसला उनके पति भगवान शिव के जिंदा रहते ही लिया गया था। जबकि सती प्रथा में पति की मृत्यु के बाद पत्नी को सती बनाने के लिए जलती हुई चिता पर बैठने को मजबूर किया जाता है।
