Khwāja Yūsuf appointed four deputies, each of them was worthy of spiritual directorship:

Khwāja ‘Abd-Allāh Baraqī Khwārizmī (d.555 AH, Uzbekistan),
Khwāja Ḥasan Andaqī (d.552 AH, Bukhārā, Uzbekistan),
Khwāja Aḥmad Yasavī (d.562 AH, Kazakhstan),
Khwāja ‘Abd al-Khāliq Ghujdawānī (d.575 AH, Uzbekistan).

The first two did not establish their shaykhhood. When Khwāja Aḥmad Yasavī wanted to leave for Turkestan (Central Asia), he directed his murīds to accompany Khwāja ‘Abd al-Khāliq.
Khwāja ‘Abd al-Khāliq is the founder of the Naqshbandī Sufi Order and Khwāja Aḥmad is the founder of the Yasavī Order which was once very popular and widespread in Central Asia.

Mecca Books: The Life and Merits of Al-Hājj Abdallāh Niass: Mustafa Briggs, Idrissa Dioum

meccabooks.com

This work comes at a significant and monumental time in history where many people are seeking for more information and clarification on the legacy of this Giant. The fact that one of his youngest sons Shaykh Ibrahim Niass, who received all his spiritual and educational training solely at his hands, went on to find what was described by Western Academics as 'the largest single Muslim movement in modern Africa' and was just one of thousands who benefitted from his knowledge and sainthood is a testament to how monumental his spiritual station must have been, and a clear sign that more effort needs to be exhausted in uncovering his reality and studying his heritage. Thus, we see that history has been made and the foundation stone has been laid and the first in-depth biography of Al-Hājj Abdallāh Niass has been written in English, which encompasses all the information one may need in order to begin to understand his history.
