Abstract
"This research article discusses the “Roshaniyya Sufi Silsilah” established
and propagated by Bayazid Ansari in the first half of the sixteenth
century A.D. He was a “Wahdat-ul-Wajudi Sufi” settled in Kaniguram, a
town situated in the South Waziristan agency of the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. He emerged during the regime of
Mughal Emperor Akbar. To propagate his ideas, Bayazid initiated a
movement which is called “Roshaniyya Movement”. The study aims to
explore the nature and direction of Bayazid to establish the fact that he
was a Sufi with an extremist approach and profound inclination towards
the concept of “Wahdat-ul-Wajud”. The study presents a balanced and
analytical approach of the teachings and techniques he adopted to
propagate among the masses. For that purpose different approaches
would be studied to grasp fully the topic under discussion. Mostly the
writings of Bayazid and other primary sources have been utilized to
investigate the subject from various perspectives.”
