Descendants of Hazrat Mai Safoora Qadiriyya (Urdu:اولاد حضرت مائی صفورہ قادریہ) rarely known as Farooqi Miana but to Modern World usually known as Mianas of Safoora are the true generation of Hazrat Mai Safoora Qadiriyya from her son Saleh.

Hazrat Mai Safoora Qadiriyya had two offspring Saleh Muhammad Safoori (son), Saleha (daughter). The descendents of Saleh Muhammad Safoori are still living in same area where she was born, lived and died. Haji muhammad safoori was also a greater grandson of Mai Safoora. Her descendants are Sunni Muslims belonging to Hanafi School of Thought(Madhab). In case of Sufism, the either belong to Qadiri Sufi order which was also the Sufi order of Mai Safoora or Naqshbandia Owaisia Sufi order. Those who belong to Naqshbandia Owaisia Sufi order are the disciples of Ameer Muhammad Akram Awan, the current sheikh of silsila-e-Naqshbandia Owaisia. They are mostly land owners and agriculture is their Mother Profession. Some are also in the services field.

Saleh muhammad safoori

Saleh Muhammad Safoori was the son of Mai Safoora. He had written a poetic collection: Kulliyat-e-Saleh Muhammad Safoori. This book was published by Yousaf Tahir Miana. Saleh Muhammad Safoori was a learned man and his first writing made public by Yousaf Tahir was a piece in Persian poetry about Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah who had visited Sufi Abdul Hakeem, a senior contemporary of Ali Haider and Mai Safoora. Bulleh Shah`s visit to Hakeem was also mentioned by Khwaja Farid in Maqabeesul Majalis. That Persian Tazkara written by Saleh muhammad safoori is still in manuscript form and it requires more investment than perhaps Yousuf Tahir, the great grandson of Saleh could afford.
