Origin from 1200
The Kubrawiya order is a Sufi order named after its thirteenth century founder Najm al-Din Kubra, who lived in Konye-Urgench in present day Turkmenistan under the Khwarazmian dynasty. In 1221 the Mongols captured Konye-Urgench and killed much of its population, including Kubra himself. The order places emphasis on the universality of its approach and remains popular in Bangladesh, Mauritius, eastern India and parts of Pakistan.

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 ).
