Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Suhrawardi.
-
The Suhrawardi order entered India at about the same time, as the Chishtis, but its activities were restricted largely to the Punjab and Multan.
-
This order was established by Sheikh Shihabuddin Suhrawardi.
-
But the actual founder of this order in India was Shaikh Bahauddin Zakariyya born at Kot Karor, near Multan, in about 1182-83.
-
He did not associate with the common people, opposed Qalandars, and invited Sultan lltutmish to invade Multan and topple its ruler, Qabacha.
-
After Illtutmish annexed Multan in 1228, lltutmish appointed Bahauddin the Shaikh-ul-Islam (leader of the Muslim community).
-
Unlike the Chishtis, the Suhrawardi saints did not believe in leading a life of poverty.
-
They accepted the aid of the state, and some of them held prominent posts in the ministerial department.
-
Music was rejected by this order.
