People very often mistake Gaddi-Nasheen to be synonymous with Sajjadah-Nasheen. The difference is that Sajjadah-Nasheen is appointed directly by Sufi Sheikh. Gaddi-Nasheen are not appointed directly. But they can be someone from the lineage of Sajjadah-Nasheen or a third party selected by consensus. (details)
In Our Silsila Yousufi, Jaan-Nasheen, Sajjadah-Nasheen, Gaddi-Nasheen, or Khulifa are not appointed based on genetic-relationship. (For Us)
