Sufi Orders
Sufi Orders, also known as Tariqas, are spiritual organizations within Sufism, the mystical branch of Islam. Each order follows a specific path to achieve spiritual closeness to God, often guided by a sheikh or spiritual leader. Members engage in practices such as meditation, chanting, and communal rituals to deepen their faith and understanding.
There are many Sufi Orders, each with unique teachings and traditions. Some of the most well-known include the Qadiriyya, Naqshbandi, and Mevlevi orders. These groups often emphasize love, tolerance, and the inner dimensions of faith, fostering a sense of community among their followers.
