Gardēzī Sadaat (Persian: سادات گردیزی) is a Sadaat Muslim family of Sayyid from Gardez (Afghanistan); consequently known as ‘Gardēzī Sadaat’ in Indian subcontinent.
There are many Sayyid families in Indian subcontinent, but the one migrated from Gardez are called as ‘Gardēzī Sadaat’. In India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, there are still some members of this distinct ethnic group as mostly have been killed during several wars under Islamic rulers in India or have lost their original hegemony in these hundreds of years and ultimately mixed with the local ethnic population.
Following is a genealogy of a family belongs to 'Gardēzī Sadaat' in India. After the Changez khan’s massacre in Iran (Destruction under the Mongol Empire), this family migrated from Mashhad (Iran) to Sabzwar and then to India via Gardēz (Afghanistan) during the reign of Sultan Shams-ud-din Iltutmish (1211-1235). In India, this family was acclaimed later on as Gardēzī Sadaat and received many honorific titles from Mughal emperors.
According to Akhbarul Akhyar by Shaikh Abdul-Haqq Dehlavi, the two brothers Mir Syed Shahabuddin and Mir Syed Shamsuddin who belonged to Gardēzī Sadaat came to Delhi during Iltutmish times. The family of Mir Syed Shahabuddin was settled in Manikpur while the family of Mir Syed Shamsuddin Daod stayed at the region of Mewat. From the family of Manikpur, Raji Hamid Shah (caliph Shaikh Hisamuddin Manikpuri) was a famous scholar. The Lineal descendant of both these brothers in Mewat and Manikpur are remembered as Gardēzī Sadaat.
