After the battle of Karbala, the Ahlulbayt settled back to Madinah and afterwards to Samarra. The family of the twelfth Imam later migrated in the 9th century to Termez present day Uzbekistan, where the ancestors of Hazrat Ishaan stayed for 7 centuries until his birth in year 1563.

Khwaja Khawand Mahmud bin Sharifuddin Al Alavi, known by his followers as "Hazrat Ishaan" was directed by his Pir Ishaq Wali Dahbidi to spread the Islam in Mughal India. His influence mostly remained in the Kashmir valley, whereupon Baqi Billah has expanded the order in other parts of India.[8] Mahmud is a significant Saint of the order as he is a direct blood descendant in the 7th generation of Baha-ul-din Naqshband, the founder of the order[8] and his son in law Ala-ul-din Atar.[9] It is because of this that Mahmud claims direct spiritual connection to his ancestor Baha-u-din.[8] Furthermore Mahmud had a significant amount of nobles as disciples, highlighting his popular influence in the Mughal Empire.[10] His main emphasis was to highlight orthodox Sunni teachings.[10] Mahmud's son Moinuddin lies buried in their Khanqah together with his wife who was the daughter of a Mughal Emperor. It is a pilgrimage site in which congregational prayers, known as "Khoja-Digar" are held in honor of Baha-ul-Din on his death anniversary the 3rd Rabi ul Awwal of the Islamic lunar calendar. This practice including the "Khatm Muazzamt" is a practice that goes back to Mahmud and his son Moinuddin[8] The Kashmiri population venerate Mahmud and his family as they are regarded them as the revivers of Islam in Kashmir.[11] Mahmud was succeeded by his son Moinuddin and their progeny until the line died out on the occasion of the martyrdom of the last Ishan Kamaluddin and his family members by the Shiite warlord Amir Khan Jawansher in the eighteenth century.[9][9]

After the martyrdom of Sayyid Kamaluddin Shaheed, his descendants migrated to Kabul, where a daughter of Sayyid Kamaluddin's family married with Sayyid Mir Hasan bin Azimullah. This marriage created the Sayyid ul Sadaat Clan, which received their recognition as Grand Sayyids from the Barakzai Dynasty. Abdurrahman Khan appointed Sayyid Mir Fazlullah Agha as Supreme Judge of the Emirate of Afghanistan. Sayyid Mir Fazlullah Agha's power in Afghanistan manifested when he prosecuted leading members of the royal family, including the King (or Emir) Abdurrahman Khan whom he prosecuted for drank alcohol.[12][2][13]

Sayyid Mir Fazlullah's granddaughter Sayyida Rahima married the Afghan Muhammadzai Prince Prof. Dr. Abdul Khalek, bestowing Afghan royalty upon their children.[2]

Sultan Masood Dakik honored with the order of merit of Germany

After the Saur Revolution, that lead to the collapse of the Barakzai dynasty, the family received an amnesty by President Hafizullah Amin, because of Prince Abdul Khaliq's reputation as an honest statesman and respected Professor in the faculty of Science at Kabul University. This amnesty ended with President Barbrak Karmal fearing an uprising of Prince Abdul Khaliq and his wife, which led to Prince Abdul Khaliq being imprisoned and Princess Rahima fleeing with her son Sultan Masood to Pakistan 7 days by feet. In Pakistan they have been evacuated to West Germany.[14][15] Since then they are based in Europe and actively work on philanthropic projects and development activities worldwide.[16][17][18]

Membership within the House of Hazrat Ishaan is transmitted through direct cognatic descent to Hazrat Ishaan under the authorization of the Imam, fulfilling the requirements of Sayyidship. Leadership is based on meritocratic consens within the family.
