The main purpose of this study is to analyze the Sūfī understanding of Chirag Dalhī, who playedan active role in Indian Sufism. For this purpose, while researching his Sūfī life, the basic sourcesof the period and the literary works written in the following centuries were examined. Chirag Dalhī, who is accepted as the most important representative of the Chisti sect, was born in thecity of Avad in India. Chirag Dalhī, who turned to Sufism after obtaining approval in the apparentsciences, is a member of the Nizāmiyah branch of Chisti. He became the head of the ruler uponthe death of his master and carried out the tradition of dervish lodge and madrasah together andbuilt the understanding of Sufism within the framework of the Ahl al-Sunnah. In addition, he paidattention to the principle of "staying away from the sultans", which is one of the principles ofChisti, adhered to the tradition of his pīrs despite the persecution of the sultan. He is both ascholar who studied in madrasah and a guide on the way of Sufism. Chirag Dalhī, who shapedthe understanding of Sufism by adhering to the line of Ahl al-Sunnah, states that prophets arenot exempted from worshiping and that saints are not exempt from Shari'a. He argues thatprophets are superior to saints in the issue of prophethood and guardianship, which is one of thecontroversial issues in the field of Sufism. According to him, the final state of the saint is thestate of bidāyah of the prophet. He thinks differently from Mu'tazilah about ru'yah, and he saysthat it is not possible to realize the dream in this world, but it is permissible for believers indreams and the hereafter.
