Article: Khwaja Yusuf Hamdani (440-535 AH):Maktabah.Org
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.
