معاشرتی و معاشی مسائل کا حل: تعلیماتِ صوفیائے چشت

Abstract

The present study tries to explore and identify a possible pattern to the efforts of Chishti Sufia in India to serve the people socially, politically, morally and spiritually. Soon after the inception of Chishti Silsilah in India Khawaja Mu’in-al-Din Chishti along with his contemporary Chishti Shaykhs, laid down the principles of Silsilah. He also carved out a space for independent action and practices of Chishti principles, free from the interference of state for their Silsilah in subcontinent. In fact from the very beginning, Chishtis made it a definite policy to keep a distance from the rulers and to serve the people in all aspect. Chishtis expanded the space of their Silsilah by further application of Chishti principles. But rulers tried to Negociate the space between Chishti Sufia and state which Efforted the cultural and social values of people. People always tried to seek guidance, justice and resolve their social and family matters to Chishti Sufias.
