Darqawiyya

Sufi Orders
Origin from 1790

The Darqawiyya, or Darqawi, is a Sufi order described as a revivalist branch of the Shadhiliyya brotherhood that originated in Morocco. Its followers gathered around Sheikh Muhammad al-Arabi al-Darqawi, who lived from 1760 to 1823, and it became one of the leading Sufi orders in the region, emphasizing poverty and asceticism and gaining support among rural and urban lower class populations.

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 ).
