Originally published in 2014, The Junayd? Sufis of the Deccan explores the history of Sufism in the Deccan, challenging the assumption that the Chisht? order was the primary influence in the region. Siddiqi presents two sacred scrolls from the 17th century, tracing the lineage of the Junayd? Sufis to Abul Qasim al-Junayd of Baghdad, offering insights into their spiritual traditions and contributions during the Bahmani period (1347–1538)
