Yasawi Order
The Yasawi Order is a Sufi spiritual movement founded by the 12th-century mystic and poet, Ahmed Yasawi, in present-day Kazakhstan. It emphasizes the teachings of love, devotion, and the pursuit of inner knowledge. The order is known for its focus on community, spiritual guidance, and the importance of a personal connection with the divine.
The Yasawi Order played a significant role in spreading Islam in Central Asia, particularly among the Turkic peoples. Its followers often engage in rituals, poetry, and music that reflect the teachings of Yasawi. The order's influence can still be seen today in the cultural practices and spiritual beliefs of the region.
