Naqshbandi Order

Naqshbandi Naqshbandiya Naqshbandiyya Naqshbandiyyah ( an-Naqshbandiyyah, Nakşibendi, Naksbendi, Naksbandi ) is one of the major tasawwuf spiritual orders ( tariqa ) of Sufi Islam . It is considered to be a "sober" order The Naqshbandi order is nearly 1,400 years old, and is vibrant today. It is the only Sufi order that claims to trace its direct spiritual lineage ( silsilah ) to Muhammad through Abu Bakr , the First Caliph and The Prophet's companion. This lineage also indirectly connects to Ali , the Prophet's cousin, son-in-law and the Fourth Caliph, via Jafar as-Sadiq . In contrast, most other Sufi orders ( turuq ) trace their lineage through Ali . Another spiritual chain has been introduced by Khawaja Abdul Hakeem Ansari . This spiritual discipline has their spiritual linage to Allah . It is considered that the transmission of spiritual lineage or silsilah , is directly from one Sheikh to another, at or after the time of death or burial. It is not tied to a country, family or political appointment, but is a direct heart to heart transmission. It is also considered that the appointed Sheikh will be in some communication with past Sheikhs. At any one time, there will of course be many other Sheikhs, who will all naturally owe their spiritual allegiance (Beyat) to the current master of the silsilah . The Naqshbandi order owes many insights to Abu Ya'qub Yusuf al-Hamadani and Abd al-Khaliq al-Ghujdawani, who is regarded as the organizer of the practices and is responsible for placing stress upon the purely mental dhikr . It was later associated with Muhammad Baha ad-din an-Naqshabandi, hence the name of the order. Some interpret the name translation as "the engravers (of the heart)", "related to the image-maker", "pattern maker", "image maker", "reformer of patterns", "way of the chain" and "golden chain." The name has changed over the years. Originally called "as-Siddiqiyya", around the times of Bayazid al-Bistami to Sayyadina Abdul Khaliq al-Ghujdawani it was called at-Tayfuriyya, and from the times of Sayyadina 'Abdul Khaliq al-Ghujdawani to Hadrat Shah Naqshband it was called the " Khwajagan " or "Hodja". From the time of Hadrat Shah Naqshband it has been called Naqshbandiyya. International Encyclopaedia of Islamic Dynasties . Sufis & saints' bodies: Mysticism, Corporeality and Sacred Power in Islam .
