Origin 1993
The Galibi order is a Sufi order descended from the integration of the Qadiriyya and Rifa'iyya orders, two of the earliest and most popular orders established in Islam. It was known as the Qadiriyyah-Rufai order until it branched off from its ancestor school in 1993 and took the name of its sheikh, Galip Hasan Kuscuoglu. Its central dargah is in Istanbul, with branches across Turkey including Ankara, Corum, Adana, Gaziantep, Kutahya, Isparta and Antalya, and its members are Hanafi in fiqh and Alevi in disposition, following the Maturidi and Ash'ari schools of theology.
