E Sadat - Shajra

A (Tree of the Sayyids) is a detailed genealogical record or family tree that traces the lineage of the Sadat (descendants of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad) back to his daughter, Fatima al-Zahra, and his cousin and son-in-law, Ali ibn Abi Talib.

: Traditionally, these are drawn in the shape of a tree (Shajra literally means "tree" in Arabic). The Prophet Muhammad is at the root, with various branches representing different generations and migrations across the Islamic world.

: Lineages associated with the Chishti Order, like the Shajra-e-Sadat-e-Hasaniya which documents the ancestry of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.

These documents serve as both a historical record and a spiritual certification of noble ancestry. Key Features of a Shajra-e-Sadat
