Sufi Order Ināyati Silsila

All Sufi orders have their own Silsila or Chain of Transmission. The representation of the Chain of Transmission is called the Shajara ("Tree"). Below is that of the Sufi Order Ināyati up to Inayat Khan. The Shajara which appears here is that of Inayat Khan's primary spiritual lineage, the Chishti Order, although he was also initiated into the Suhrawardi, Naqshbandi and Qadiri Sufi orders.

Silsilas always begin with God, so the Shajara will begin with the name Allah, but in the Western Sufist context this should not be confined to the concept of Allah within Islam, but should be seen as Universal Intelligence. The Sufi Order International shajra is in fact derived until Inayat Khan, from the Chishti-Nizami line of traditional Chishti Sufism but branches off later, on its own thereafter.
