[UmHasan]

Not sure if you want to include son-in-laws: Hadhrat Maulana Salman Saharanpuri sahab, ustadh of hadeeth and naazim e taalimaat of Saharanpur, son-in-law of Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyyah sahab.

[UmHasan]

How are they connected to each other? In term of family-ties and teacher-student relationships. If you are 100% sure that two of one "khandan" have no relation at all then state that please, too...

I haven't read through the whole thread so apologies if they've already been mentioned, or if they don't fit into your categories:

-Hadhrat Moulana Mohammad Yahya Kandhalwi, father of Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyah and therefore also brother of Moulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhalwi

-Also his eldest brother, Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Kandhalwi (Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyyah’s paternal uncle). Another great personality.

-Hadhrat Moulana Muhammad Ismaeel Kandhalwi, father of Moulana Muhammad Yahya and Moulana Muhammad mentioned above. He was a great aalim of his time and attained ijaazah from Moulana Muzaffar Hussain Kandhalwi in the the Naqshbandi silsilah and was also classed as his shaykh’s jaanasheen ( spiritual successor).

Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyyah RA has a wonderful family tree of scholars and great sufis who preceded him. Each one of them has an impressive biography of piety, knowledge, recognition of Allah and disassociation from wordly pleasures. Some of them have been mentioned in the biography of Hadhrat Shaykh by Hadhrat Moulana Yusuf Motala sahib and their detailed biographies are in Mashaaikh e Kandhla.

I'll insha'Allah add them later...

[usmanqadir]

I want to why Maulana Hassan Jan and His faimly is not included in this list and also Moulana Ilyas is not present in generation wise. If you require the details of hassan jan and his faimly i can provide

[Maripat]

Hazrat Maulana Iftikar-ul-Hasan Sahab Kandhalwi is still DB-not RA.

[AmaturRahman]
