Bahauddin Naqshbandi

Bahauddin Naqshbandi was a prominent Islamic spiritual leader and founder of the Naqshbandi order, a Sufi tradition emphasizing inner purity, meditation, and adherence to Islamic law. Living in the 13th and 14th centuries in Central Asia, he promoted practices like silent remembrance of God (dhikr) to foster spiritual growth. His teachings focus on balancing external religious duties with inner devotion, helping followers develop a sincere, disciplined connection to God. The Naqshbandi order remains influential today, guiding millions toward spiritual refinement and inner peace through disciplined practice and ethical living.
