Correct Answer :

Option D

(A)- (III), (B)- (IV), (C)- (I), (D)- (II)

Solution :

The correct option is (A)- (III), (B)- (IV), (C)- (I), (D)- (II).

Let us break down the meaning of each Sufi term listed in List-II to understand why this mapping is correct:

1. (A) Sufi lineages: In Sufism, a lineage or spiritual chain of succession that traces a continuous link back to the Prophet Muhammad is referred to as a Silsila. Therefore, (A) matches with (III).

2. (B) Established rules for spiritual conduct and interaction between inmates/laypersons and the master: The spiritual guide, master, or teacher who sets these rules and guides the disciples is known as the Murshid. Thus, (B) matches with (IV).

3. (C) The practice of pilgrimage to the grave of the Shaikh: In Sufi tradition, making a pilgrimage to the tomb or grave of a Sufi saint (Shaikh) to seek blessings is called Ziyarat. Thus, (C) matches with (I).

4. (D) Open kitchen which runs on futuh (unasked-for charity): A community kitchen that provides free food to everyone, supported by voluntary and unsolicited donations, is known as a Langar. Thus, (D) matches with (II).

Combining these individual matches gives us the correct sequence:
(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
