Chaar Yaar

Chaar Yaar or Char Yaar (meaning "Four Friends" in Persian) is used to refer to:

Rashidun, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, used in Sunni Islam to refer to the first four Caliphs who established the Rashidun Caliphate
- Abu Bakr (632–634), through his daughter Aisha, became a father-in-law of Muhammad.
- Umar (634–644), through his daughter Hafsa bint Umar, became a father-in-law of Muhammad.
- Uthman (644–656), by marrying Ruqayya bint Muhammad and Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad, two daughters of Muhammad, became a son-in-law of Muhammad.
- Ali (656–661), by marrying Fatima and Umama bint Abi al-As, daughter and granddaughter of Muhammad, became a son-in-law of Muhammad.

The great pioneers of the 13th century Chishti Order and the Suhrawardiyya Sufi movements in South Asia were four friends known as the Chaar Yaar. The original four were:
- Bahauddin Zakariya of Multan (1170–1267 AD)
- Baba Farid of Pakpattan (1174–1266 AD)
- Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, aka Jhulelal of Sehwan (1177–1274 AD)
- Jalaluddin Surkh-Posh Bukhari of Uch (c. 1192–1291 AD)

However, later on, there were more than just four of them in Punjabi Sufi iconography. Including Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, they include:
- Mu'in al-Din Chishti of Ajmer (1141–1230 AD)
- Nizamuddin Auliya of Delhi (1238–1325 AD)
