Read the passage and answer the question: |
The Chishti order gets its name from which of the following sources? |
Founding figure. Place of origin. Both Options, 1 and 2. Neither 1 nor 2. |
Place of origin. |
The correct answer is Option 2 - Place of origin. Most sufi lineages were named after a founding figure. For example, the Qadiri order was named after Shaikh Abd’ul Qadir Jilani. However, some like the Chishti order, were named after their place of origin, in this case the town of Chisht in central Afghanistan. |
