Mohammed Shahzaman Syyed is a Pakistani Sufi writer and spiritual teacher affiliated with the Chishtiya Sabiriya order. He is the spiritual successor of his father and mentor, Syyed Muhammad Hussain, and part of a lineage tracing back to early Chishti masters. He also traces his paternal lineage to Abdul Qadir Jilani in the 27th generation, and to the Islamic prophet Muhammad through Hasan ibn Ali in the 39th generation as outlined in his book Quran, Science wa Tasawwuf.[1]

He is the author of Raz-e-Dil (translated as The Secret of the Heart), a multilingual poetry collection written in Urdu, English, Punjabi, and Persian. The work reflects themes of Divine love, self-realisation, and inner purification, drawing inspiration from classical Sufi literature and Qur'anic spirituality.[2]

His work on Tasawwuf (Islamic Sufism) include diagrams and visual metaphors designed to clarify abstract Sufi concepts, which some readers have found accessible for contemporary audiences interested in Islamic spirituality.[3]
