Under the leadership of ‘Abd al-Ṣamad, the order attracted thousands of followers and its central issue was reforming the doctrine of “the unity of existence” by reconciling it with the “unity of consciousness” (waḥdat al-shuhūd), the teachings of Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindī (d.1624).

Di bawah kepimpinan ‘Abd al-Samad, kumpulan itu yang menarik beribu-ribu pengikut dan isu utamanya adalah untuk membuat pembaharuan kepada doktrin “kesatuan wujud” dengan menyatukannya dengan “kesatuan kesedaran” (waḥdat al- shuhūd), ajaran Syaikh Ahmad Sirhindī (d.1624).
