Origin from 1935
The Maryamiyya order is a tariqa or Sufi order founded by Sheikh Isa Nur ad-Din, known also as Frithjof Schuon, who lived from 1907 to 1998. It is a branch of the Shadhiliyya-Darqawiyya-Alawiyya order, with communities in Europe, the Americas and the Islamic world, and its doctrine rests on what it understands as the universal truths of pure esoterism, its method conforming to the essential elements of the Sufi path.

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 ).
