Integrated Shajara Sharif 'Inayati

The graphic representation of a Sufi silsila, or ‘chain of transmission,’ is called a shajara sharif, or ‘noble tree.’ The shajara of Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan is the Shajara Sharif ‘Inayati. This tree traces the Chishti-Nizami-Kalimi lineage imparted to him by his master before his passing. The addition of ‘Inayati marks his own contribution as the opener of the way of universalist (Inayati) Sufism. The Integrated Shajara Sharif 'Inayati includes the women of the lineage. All Inayati lineages trace themselves through this silsila up to Hazrat Inayat Khan, but the silsila of distinct branches differ beyond him. This version of the shajara was created for the Inayti lineages and organizations by the Inayati-Maimuni Order in 2018.
