Ibrahim Bin Adham was
popularly known as Abu Ben Adhem. His full name was Sultan Ibrahim
bin Adham, Bin Mansur al-Balkhi al- Ijli, Abu Ishaq.
His
Life He was born in Balkh on the east of Khurasan. His family
was from the Kufa and were descendants of the second Caliph
Omar bin Khattab. He was the king of Balkh but abandoned the
throne to become a Sufi saint. According to the Arabic and Persian
sources like al- Bukhari ( d. 870) and many others, Ibrahim
Bin Adham received a warning from God and abdicated his throne
to take up the ascetic life in Syria. He died in 777-8 and is
believed to be buried in Syrian town of Jabala.
His Legend His legend enlarged gradually from al-Bukhari to
Abu Nu'aym al-Isfahani and after its full formation around the
eleventh century, expanded to central Asia under the Mongols,
Anatolia under the Ottoman rule, North India in the age of the
Tughluqids, and Malaysia during the seventeenth century as revealed
in the works by R. Jones.
His
Clans Although his children continue to rule Central Asia, the
kingdom came to an end after Farrukh Shah Kabuli's son was killed
fighting Mongols and the uprooted family moved East to Punjab
(now part of Pakistan and then to India and up to Bangladesh.
Baba Farid Ganj Shakar the famous Punjabi poet and Sufi Saint
was one of his descendants. Adhamies of South Asia call themselves
Farooqi.

A Sufi Sheikh Abu Ishaq Shami is one of the first among the
sufi order, namely Chishti Order to call himself Chisti. This
indicates that he belongs to the Chishti Order.The name Shami
implies he came from Syria or even from Damascus (ash-Sham).
Abu Ishaq Shami is supposedly to have met a Sufi who directed
him to settle in Chisht,and acccordingly he is known as Abu
Ishaq Shami Chishti. He died in 940 C.E. in Damascus and lies
buried on Mount Qasiyun, where later on also Ibn al-Arabi was
buried. Looking at the date of his death it is considered that
the Chishti Order is one of the oldest, if not the oldest now
still existing sufi order. However according to most of the
Sufi orders it is considered that their orginations are directly
from the time period of the Prophet Mohammad and the Prophet
him self.

may had many Khalifa's but Abu Ahmad Abdal carries the Chisti
Chain to South Asia.
