Idrisiyya

Sufi Orders
Origin from 1799

The Idrisiyya order is a Sufi tariqa of Sunni Islam founded by Ahmad ibn Idris al-Fasi, also called the Tariqa Muhammadiyya. It rejects following any of the four schools of Islamic jurisprudence, functioning more as a set of beliefs and practices aimed at nurturing a direct spiritual link between the disciple and Muhammad than as a conventional organized order.

Quote, Governed By Polity: Silsila (The Chain of Spiritual Descent), Sufism article, Sufi orders and their chains of transmission
Almost all traditional Sufi orders trace their "chains of transmission" back to the Prophet via his cousin and son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib (except the Naqshbandi order which traces its origin to caliph Abu Bakr ).
