==Chishti Order==<br />
The [[Chishti Order]] is a [[tariqa|Sufi order]] within the mystic [[Sufism|Sufi]] tradition of [[Islam]]. It began in [[Chisht]], a small town near [[Herat]], Afghanistan about 930 CE. The Chishti Order is known for its emphasis on love, tolerance, and openness.<ref>Ernst, Carl W. and Lawrence, Bruce B.

The [[Chishti Order]] is primarily followed in [[Afghanistan]] and [[South Asia]].<ref name=chishties/> It was the first of the four main Sufi orders (Chishti, [[Qadiriyya]], [[Suhrawardiyya]] and [[Naqshbandi]]) to be established in this region. [[Moinuddin Chishti]] (1142 - 1236) introduced the Chishti Order in [[Lahore]] ([[Punjab, India|Punjab]]) and [[Ajmer]] ([[Rajasthan]]), sometime in the middle of the 12th century AD. He was eighth in the line of succession from the founder of the Chishti Order, Abu Ishaq Shami. There are now several branches of the order, which has been the most prominent South Asian Sufi brotherhood since the 12th century.<ref name=chishties/><ref>Rozehnal, Robert.
