Notable Sufis

Bahauddin Ansari Qadiri Shattari

Bahauddin Ansari Qadri Shattari also known as Langot Band Ansari is a prominent figure of this Sufi order. He has authored Risala-e-Shattariya.

The elements of Hindu mysticism in this Muslim Sunni Sufi order is explained by Carl W. Ernst in his work, "Yoga and the "Pure Muhammadi Path" of Muhammad Nasir 'Andalib" by mentioning Risala-yi Shattariyya by the Qadiri-Shattari Sufi, Baha’ al-Din al-Ansari (d. 1515–16). Sufi Bahauddin very explicitly appropriated yoga teachings, including those related to chakras, yoga postures, pranayama (breath control), and mantras, presenting them in a highly organized way in chapter four of this treatise (Ernst and Khodamoradi 2018). In this work, Ansari suggested a practice of visualization that should be carried out along with a certain posture that, in his point of view, has the benefit and quality of all of the eighty-four postures of yoga. [9]

Shaykh Baha’ al-Din, a Qadri Shattari Sufi discoursed on the t̤ar̄iqa of the Qadri Shattaris that included practicing tauba (repentance/ abstinence from anything that takes focus away from god), zuhd (being given to religious exercises/abstaining from desires of this world), tawakkul (resignation to the Divine will), qan̄‘at (contentment/abstinence from the desires of the lower soul), ‘uzlat (resignation and being away from people/self-seclusion), tawajjuh-il̄h All̄h (focus towards God and ending all the desires),sabr (patience), rị̄’za-i-il̄ahi (endeavouring to please God) and performing z̠ikr [with sole focus on Allah].
