Naqshbandi Order

The Naqshbandi Order is a prominent Sufi spiritual tradition within Islam, known for its emphasis on inner contemplation and personal experience of God. Founded in the 14th century by Baha-ud-Din Naqshband, it stresses the importance of silent remembrance of God (dhikr) and a direct relationship with the Divine. The order values rigorous discipline, adherence to Islamic law, and the guidance of a spiritual teacher, or Master. It has a global presence and often combines spiritual practices with community service, aiming to cultivate moral character and deeper spiritual awareness among its followers.
