Origin 13th century
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.
