Mysticism of Qadiriyya and Hindu Mysticism are originated from two completely separated schools but there are many common aspects between these two doctrines. Qadiriyya is among mystical tariqas in Islam which is attributed to Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani (1078-1166) and is impressed by Hindu doctrine in some traditions and customs. Among the philosophical schools in India, the existing customs and rituals such as annihilation with salvation, dhikr with achapai and meditation with yoga have been applied in the Qadiriyya way. What are the similarities between the mysticism of Hindu religions and the Qadiriyya sect, and how did this sect enter the Indian subcontinent by disciples throughout history? The result of this research is that hearing and yoga are both forms of worship to honor the gods and achieve peace and freedom from worldly suffering, and Hindu ascetics, like the Qadiriyya dervishes, purify the soul by intuition, which is called ajapai. Also, their ceremonies are held in Qadiriyah by receiving the cloak, which is the secret of accepting the disciple. It was in the course of historical research that made the process of study difficult for researchers. Lack of research in the field of historical research made it difficult for researchers in present article, so we decided to study these two mystics in our historical path with a descriptive, analytical method.
