Sayyid Muhammad al-Husayni-i Gisudiraz (721/1321-825/1422) was a famous Indian sufi of the Chishti order, an order which is still popular in Indian to this day. He was also the first Chishti sufi to have been a prolific writer. Since there is inadequate primary source material on the earlier Chishtis, only a study of Gisudiraz may cast some light on the doctrinal system of his order. Two very controversial topics - "Saintship" (walayah) and "Audition of Music" (sama') have been chosen for the present study. The concept of Saintship is discussed from two angles: in comparison to Prophethood (nubuwwah, and insofar as it is qualified by Gisudiraz's world-view in general. Audition of Music is also discussed from two points of view: the rules and conditions attached to this institution (exoteric aspect), and as a mystical path leading to God (esoteric aspect).

Gisudiraz est le premier soufi Chishti qui ait laissé une oeuvre écrite considérable. Comme il n'y a pas de documentation satisfaisante sur les Chishtis antérieurs, c'est seulement une étude de Gisudiraz qui permet d'éclaircir les doctrines de cet ordre. Deux thèmes de controverse, la "Sainteté" (walayah) et "l'Audition de Musique" (sama') ont été choisis pour cette étude. L'idée de sainteté est traitée de deux points de vue: par rapport à l'idée de prophétie (nubuwwah) et en tant que modifiée par les pensées de Gisudiraz sur le monde en général. L'Audition de Musique est traitée de deux points de vue également: éxotérique et ésotérique; c;est-à-dire les règles et les conditions attachées à cette institution et l'audition comme voie mystique menant à Dieu.
