Muhammad Yusuf Khoja (محمد یوسف خواجه ; modern Uyghur: مۇھەممەد يۈسۈپ خوجا; Chinese: 瑪木特玉素布) was a seventeenth-century Naqshbandi Sufi leader.
This school of thought developed after the death of Ahmad Kasani when some Sufis followed the Great Master's older son (Ishan-i-Kalan).
Muhammad Yusuf Khoja’s grandfather was Ahmad Kasani (1461–1542), a notable Naqshbandi leader sometimes referred to as the Great Master.
[4] Many Khojas were appointed to administrative positions by Mongol leaders in what is now present day Xinjiang, China, historically known as Altishahr.
[5]“The saint's sons settled at Kashgar, where their father had married a wife and had received rich estates, and gradually established a theocracy, laying upon the necks of the submissive, apathetic people a heavy yoke which they still bear.
The primary Sufi order in the Kumul area at the time was the Black Mountain school, founded by Ahmad Kasani's younger son Ishaq.
