	Inayat Khan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Inayat Khan was initiated into the Suhrawardiyya, Qadiriyya and Naqshbandi orders of Sufism, his primary initiation was in the Nizamiyya subbranch of the Chishti Order by Shaykh Muhammed Abu Hashim Madani, with whose encouragement he left India in 1910 to come the West.
		Inayat Khan's decisive downplaying of Islam in his teachings has resulted in many contemporary Westerners assuming that Islam and Sufism are ultimately unrelated, although his followers continue to perform the traditional Islamic invocations of God (Dhikr) in the original Arabic as found in the Qur'an and the Prophetic traditions (Hadith).
		Although Hazrat Inayat Khan's son, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan did not specifically self-identify with the Islamic tradition, his grandson Pir Zia Inayat Khan is an observant Muslim, a scholar of Islam and the current head of the Sufi Order International.

	Origins of The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan
		Inayat realized by this that his Murshid meant that his words must be engraved on the soul, they were not to be written with a pencil on the pages of a note-book.
		Inayat lived in Calcutta for several years and there received the news of the death of his beloved father, which was to him a blow inexpressible in words, though thus his life became free from any duty binding him as a sacred tie, as he had felt his duty toward his parents to be.
		Inayat continued to travel widely, offering the message to all who were ready to hear it, but in 1926 as he was becoming physically exhausted, he decided to go home to India to rest.
