The House of Hazrat Ishaan (Persian: حضرت ایشان; also transliterated as Hazrat Ishaan and Hasrat Eshan) is a saintly house of sunni faith descending from Prophet Muhamamd´s Family. As descendants of Bahauddin Naqshband they hold a special centralized status for all followers of the Naqshbandiyya Silsila.
The house is centered on the veneration of Sayyid Mir Jan and his brother Sayyid Mahmud Agha as patron saints.
The most well known descendant today in the 21st century is Sultan Masood Dakik.
Template:Infobox monarchy Template:Infobox hrhstyles Hazrat Ishaan (Persian: حضرت ایشان; also transliterated as Hazrat Ishaan and Hasrat Eshan) is an aristocratic title held by the Imām of the House of Hazrat Ishaan (also known as Mirjanian in honor of Sayyid Mir Jan), who simultaneously is the spiritual and political supreme leader of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order and the Sayyids. All Hazrat Ishaans claim descent from Muhammad, last prophet of Islam, through Hasan al Askari, Sayyid Abdul Qadir Gilani and Bahauddin Naqshband.
According to Yasin Qasvari, a scholar of the Naqshbandi Sufi order, Hazrat Ishaan is an honorific title used by The Khan of Bokhara Abdullah Khan bin Iskander and Moghul Emperor Akbar to address Khwaja Khawand Mahmud (1563-1642), the contemporary supreme leader of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order. Qasvari and David William Damrel, Professor of Religious studies in South Carolina and Pluralism Project Affiliate at Harvard University furthermore mention that both monarchs were spiritual followers of Hazrat Ishaan, as it is believed that he saved Abdullah Khan II during an accident while hunting and prayed for Akbar to get a son.[1]
Hazrat is a common Pakistani, Iranian, and honorific TurkishArabic title used to honour a person. It literally denotes and translates to "presence, appearance".
Scholars attending a programm about Hazrat Ishaan I at 92 News mention that "Ishaan" is derived from the persian term "Shaan" meaning exalted, holy or blessed by God.[2]
Thus Hazrat Ishaan is to be translated as "One with the exalted Presence". One reason why their followers called Khwaja Khawand Mahmud in this manner 400 years ago is in reliance to his ancestor Abdul Qadir Gillani´s teaching of the eternal pre-existence of Muhammad´s light as the ultimate mediator between God and creation in his book Sirr ul Asrar.[3] They thus claim that everywhere the Hazrat Ishaan is, Muhammad´s light is most "concentrated". Thus also the current surname Dakik (Persian: concentrated).[4]
