Kubrawiya

The Kubrawiya order (Arabic: سلسلة کبرویة‎) or Kubrawi order,[1] also known as Firdausia Silsila, is a Sufi order that traces its spiritual lineage (Silsilah) to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, through Ali, Muhammad's cousin, son-in-law and the First Imam. This is in contrast to most other Sufi orders that trace their lineage to Ali. The Kubrawiya order is named after its 13th-century founder Najmuddin Kubra, who lived in Konye-Urgench under the Khwarazmian dynasty (present day Turkmenistan).[2] The Mongols captured Konye-Urgench in 1221 and killed much of the population including Sheikh Najmuddin Kubra.

The Kubrawiya order places emphasis on being a universal approach, applicable to both Sunnis and Shiites.[3] It is popular in eastern India, Bangladesh and Mauritius.

Branches of Kubrawiya order

Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani was the leader of the Kubrawiyyah order and expanded in parts of today's India, Pakistan,Kashmir, Bangaladesh, China, and Central Asian countries in the 14th century. In Iran the Kubrawiya order was split into branches after Khwaja Ishaq Khatlani succeed the founder. Eventually, differences within the order had arisen between the two claimants to succeed the leadership in which one group called themselves the Nurbakshia group comprising the supporters of Nurbaksh while the other group supported Barzish Abadi who was based in Mashhad.

The Noorbakshia Order

The Noorbakhshiya has emerged in the 15th century in Iran as a splinter group of the Kubrawiya Sufi order. A similar controversy has later developed about the religious affiliation of Syed Muhammad Noorbakhsh who had been a disciple of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani's principal successor Khwaja Ishaq Khatlani and who is being regarded as the founder of the Kubrawiya.

The Dahabiyya Order

This order has been attributed to Syed Abdullah Barzish Abadi and it spread during first years of Safavid dynasty first in Khorasan, then in Shiraz.[4]

gollark: Yes. The thing is clearly wrong.
gollark: Anyway, I'm not saying the preprocessor should somehow be bodged into doing whatever I want, just that the lack of a good mechanism - which the preprocessor *isn't* - for this sort of thing makes me like C less.
