Qadri Shattari Sufi order is the branch of Shattari Sufi order observed in South Asia, headed by Sayyad Mushtaque Husain Ali Mast Qadri Shattari. The spiritual Chain of this Tarika is a transmission (‘’silsila’’) transfer from Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) through Imam Ali including Hazrat Bayazid Bastami Rahmatullah alaih (753-845 CE). The Shattari order is so a branch of the Tayfoori Khan wada. Shaykh Sirajuddin Abdullah Shattar (wisal. 1406 CE), heir of Shaykh Shahāb ad-Dīn Suharwardy (Founder of Suharwardi Silsila) established the Silsila. Shaykh Shattar was the disciple of Hazrat Bayazid Bustami (seventh in the spiritual lineage) and received Ijazah from the 14 Sufi orders. His teacher Shaykh Muhammad Taifur appreciated the rigors he encountered in obtaining this station (MAQAM) and gave him the honorific ‘Shattar’. Originating in Persia, Shaykh Abdullah Shattar delivered the order and its instructions to India. According to author Idrees Shah, Shaykh Sirajuddin Abdullah Shattar settled in India in the 15th century. He had a unique method to judge his disciples with their eating patterns and gives his guidance only to those who made excellent judgements of foodstuffs. Dressed in magnificent robes, he used to roam on streets making an announcement by beating drums and inviting humans to witness Almighty in his existence, roaming from one place to another, and established the method. His practice was to contact the chief of the Tariqa and would ask them, "teach me your method (Tariqa), if not, then accept my method of Tasawwuf".
Teachings
The Sufi order is based upon the values of love, humbleness, truth, and politeness (Khaaksari). Shattari masters believe that awareness of oneself, as a path to reach to Allah.
The divine knowledge of this order is restricted to the seekers of Allah due to its complexity and by the order of Maula Ali Mushkil Kusha. Masters disclose the secret of Muqatte-at only after the deep analysis of the "zarf" of the student.
The asma e Gausiya are the noble names of Gaus e Gwaliori; these are the helpful names for an individual walking on the path of Qadri Shattari sufi order.
Qadri Shattari order attains its zenith during the time of Muhammad Ghaus Gwoliori. His mausoleum is in Gwalior at Madhya Pradesh India.
