Abu Ishaq Shami (died 940) was a Muslim scholar who is often regarded as the founder of the Sufi Chishti Order (Template:Lang-fa - Čištī) (Template:Lang-ar - Shishti).[1] He was the first in the Chishti lineage (silsila) to live in Chisht[2] and so to adopt the name "Chishti", so that, if the Chishti order itself dates back to him, it is one of the oldest recorded Sufi orders. His original name, Shami, implies he came from Syria (ash-Sham). He died in Damascus and lies buried on Mount Qasiyun,[3] where later on also Ibn Arabi was buried.
