Sayyid ul Sadaat Khwaja Sayyid Mir Khawand Mahmud ibn Sharif Naqshbandi al-Hasani wal-Husseini, known as "Hazrat Ishaan Shah Saheb" (1563 — 5 November 1642) is a Sufi Saint from Bukhara, Uzbekistan.[2]
Ancestry
Hazrat Ishaan was a Sayyid, signifying his direct descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad (in this case through his daughter Fatima al Zahra and his son in law and cousin Ali ibn Abu Talib).[3]
Paternal descendance
Two paternal Sayyid lineages of him are currently known. From one line he is a direct descendant of the seventh Imam Musa al Kadhim, through his son Ibrahim al Murtadha and of the well known Sufi master Khwaja Sayyid Mir Alauddin Atar. Sayyid Alauddin Atar was the successor and son in law of Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband. Therefore, Hazrat Ishaan is also from the progeny of Hazrat Bahauddin Naqshband, who was himself a descendant of the eleventh Imam Hasan al Askari, through his son Sayyid Ali Akbar.[4][5][6] Hazrat Ishaan Saheb is also known to have a familiary relationship with the Sufi saint Farid ul-din Attar and Khwaja Ubaidullah Ahrar. Khwaja Ahrar was his ancestor, which also indicates Hazrat Ishaans descent from Caliph Umar ibn Al Khattab[7]
Maternal descendance
From his maternal line Hazrat Ishaan is of Hashimi descent from two lines. One line is linked to Imam Hussein though his maternal grandfather Mirak ibn Zayn ul Abideen. Another line is linked to Imam Muhammad Ibn al Hanafiyyah.[8]

Spiritual journey
Hazrat Ishaan was influenced by his ancestors´ teachings and was therefore a disciple of his father.[12] Hazat Ishaan was granted permission from his father to study in a royal college and had become an accomplished scholar.[13] In the age of 23 years Hazrat Ishaan Shah Saheb has received a letter to visit his father and to accompany him in his last days.[14] Upon his father, passing away, he abandoned further studies and concentrated on the mystical quest.[15] In this he first left to Wakhsh,[16] where he became Shaykh ul Islam, performing his duties there.[17] While staying in Wakhsh, he got to know Khwaja Hajji.[18] They have met a second time in Balkh, where Khwaja Hajji has introduced him to his future master Khwaja Ishaq Dahbidi and has become his disciple.[19] He met him the second time in Bokhara and has become his disciple.[20] After twelve years of spiritual training Hazrat Ishaan Saheb has reached the level of a Shaykh in Tasawuff in year 1598.[21] Khwaja Ishaq Wali has welcomed him in his circle as the emperor of all Awliya Allah. On the order of Khwaja Ishaq Wali Hazrat Ishaan Saheb went to Lahore to propagate the Ishaqqiya path. Instead he went to Srinagar in Kashmir. In Srinagar he attracted many people, who have later followed him. The fame of his piety has reached many areas of Central Asia.[22] Hundreds of thousands of disciples in Khorasan, modern-day Afghanistan, especially in the cities of Kandahar, Kabul and Herat, followed him.[23] He has sent disciples in all over Central Asia under, whom 2 have been sent to Tibet. Unlike other Naqshbandi Masters he attracted many people, who were not only official patronages.[24] Hazrat Khwaja Khawand Mahmud was invited by the Moghul Emperor Jahangir to go to his court in Agra. Going there several times, he was unable to create firm connections to the court, because of the influences of Naqshbandis attached to the rival Jubairiyya branch.[25][26] Therefore, he came back to Kashmir. Becoming entangled in the struggle against the Shia community there, Moghul emperor Shah Jahan summoned him in year 1636 to Delhi and banned his way to Srinagar. Hazrat Ishaan spent his last six years in Lahore, where he also died.[27][28][29]
Succession
Hazrat Ishaan was succeeded by his son Moinuddin Naqshabnd in Kashmir.[30] His youngest son Bahauddin succeeded his father in Lahore in a very young age. His spiritual line died out in the late eighteenth century. Hazrat Ishaan has stated that one of his progeny will come to revive his lineage and to take his place as Ghawth. It has been found, that Hazrat Sayyid Mir Jan is this person, who is his successor in the Uwaisiyyah way.[31]
Spiritual rank
Hazrat Ishaan was Qutb ul Aqtab, also called Ghawth, the highest ranking Wali Allah (saint) of his time. In Sufism the Ghawth is known as the cosmic leader of the whole universe and righteous successor of prophet Muhammad. It is said that Hazrat Ishaan stated that under his progeny there will come a son of him, who will revive the spiritual lineage and legacy of Hazrat Ishaan and who will take his place as Ghawth after him. His successor is Sayyid ul Sadaat Hazrat Sayyid Mir Jan.[32][33]
