Question

Is there any difference between Sufi and Chisti? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Almost all Sufi orders trace their origins to 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib, Muhammad's cousin, whom the Shi'a regard as the first imam. The Chishti, though Sunni, trace their lineage through Ali. This is not unusual for Sufi orders, which tend to stress devotion rather than legalism and sectarianism.
