Baba Fakruddin

Spiritual genealogy

Baba Fakhruddin was initiated into Qalandariyya Suhrawardiyya order of Sufism and the spiritual genealogy traces back to Imam Ali through several Imams and Qalandars namely Pir Nathar Tabl Alam Badshah, Shaikh Ali Zuwalqi of Shewan, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Ibrahim Mujarrad Karbalai, Jamal al-Din Saoji

The merging of Suhrawardiyya branch with Qalandariyya chain possibly can be attributed to Lal Shahbaz Qalandar however he was not a disciple of Bahauddin Zakariya Multani but a good friend, and possibly received ijazah/khilafat, whose legendary spiritual friendship is well known in Sindh, Pakistan as Char Yaar
