Over the centuries, formal Islamic education has formed various 'schools'. Every school's pedigree is traced back through a line of successive masters and students and as it gets closer to the time of the Prophet, the authenticity of the school is more firmly established.
In the Indian subcontinent, four such important schools are the Sufi Islamic orders of the Chishtiyya, the Naqshbandiyya, the Suhrawardiyya and the Qadiriyya.
What is the formal name (in Arabic) for this chain of teachers and students?
(Hint: Mr. Bachchan senior should know.)
Nice one Karthik :)
