Halveti Order

The Halveti Order is a Sufi spiritual tradition founded in the 15th century, emphasizing inner reflection, meditation, and seeking a close personal connection with God. Practitioners often practice retreat and solitude (known as “khalwa”) to deepen their spiritual awareness. The order stresses love, humility, and devotion, guiding followers to inner peace and divine consciousness through prayer, remembrance (dhikr), and moral discipline. It has influenced many areas of Islamic spirituality, fostering a personal, experiential approach to understanding and experiencing the divine beyond formal rituals.
