Naqshbandi Tradition

The Naqshbandi Tradition is a spiritual path within Sufism, emphasizing inner remembrance (dhikr) of God, personal discipline, and silent meditation. It encourages followers to develop a deep, heartfelt connection with the divine through continual consciousness of God’s presence, often practicing silently rather than loudly. Originating in Central Asia in the 14th century, it highlights sobriety, humility, and ethical behavior. The tradition also values masters guiding disciples and aims for spiritual purification, leading to inner peace and closeness to God. It has spread widely, influencing Islamic spirituality and promoting a balanced, introspective approach to faith.
