Browsing this way lets a visitor compare how differently orders mark someone as formally set apart for ministry.FactsAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligious Orders 1Authority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationFilter Results71 entriesFounded ByAllAhmad al-Badawi (1)Ahmad al-Tijani (1)Amadou Bamba (1)Baha al-Din Naqshband (1)Haji Bektash Veli (1)Mawlana Khalid (1)Rumi (1)Who may joinAllOpen to All Genders (41)Kind of orderAllOther Islamic Movements and Sects (2)Sufi Orders (61)PolityAllCentralised Corporate Polity (1)Decentralised Polity (2)Silsila (The Chain of Spiritual Descent) (56)Originated InAllAlgeria (1)China (2)Egypt (2)India (2)Indonesia (1)Iran (3)Iraq (1)Morocco (7)Senegal (2)Somalia (1)Sudan (1)Turkey (6)Turkmenistan (1)United States (1)Yemen (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1127 (1)1145 (1)1181 (1)1190 (1)1200 (1)1209 (1)1244 (1)1276 (1)1301 (1)1318 (1)1367 (1)1377 (1)1400 (2)1434 (1)1466 (1)1500 (2)1600 (1)1640 (1)1660 (1)1704 (1)1750 (2)1774 (1)1782 (1)1790 (1)1799 (1)1811 (1)1817 (1)1848 (1)1878 (1)1883 (2)1887 (1)1909 (1)1910 (1)1935 (1)1968 (1)1971 (2)1974 (1)1976 (1)1980 (1)1993 (1)Parent Order / Branch OfAllBektashi Order (1)Chishti Order (2)Inayati Order (1)Jerrahi Order (1)Kubrawiya (2)Naqshbandi Order (8)Qadiriyya Order (4)Rifa'i Order (1)Shattariyya (1)Tijaniyyah (1)Part OfAllNaqshbandi Order (1)TraditionAllNizari Ismailism (1)Sufism (60)Doctrinal PositionAllAffiliation to one order only, forfeited by taking a second (1)An interior path (tasawwuf) pursued within the schools of law (69)Belief may be concealed where disclosure would bring harm (taqiyya) (1)Listening, music or movement as a means of remembrance (2)Music and movement refused as a means of remembrance (1)Remembrance of God practised aloud and in company (16)Remembrance of God practised inwardly and in silence (8)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (68)Suppressed, then revived (1)ApostolateAllCharitable and Medical Work (2)Spiritual Direction and Dhikr (63)Teaching and Education (3)Liturgical LanguageAllClassical Arabic (64)Classical Persian (1)Vernacular Language (9)Rooted InAllSufism (52)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 21Qadiriyya OrderAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationQadiriyya wa NaqshbandiyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationQadri ShattariAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationQalandariyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationQudusiyahAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationRahmaniyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationRifa'i OrderAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationRishi OrderAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSa'diyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSafavid orderAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSaifiaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSalihiyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSatpanthAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationShattariyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSilsila AzeemiyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSufi Ruhaniat InternationalAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationSunbuliyeAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationTijaniyyahAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationUşşakiAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationZahabiyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationZahidiyyaAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordinationShowing 51 to 71 of 71, page 2 of 2.← Previous12Sources1.
