Wikipedia notes that "the Benedictines, Cistercians, and Trappists have autonomous abbeys (so-called 'independent houses')," each self-governing rather than centrally directed. Browsing by polity lets a visitor compare a centrally governed order against one built from independent houses.FactsShaykh Led LineageSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligious Orders 1Shaykh Led LineageFilter Results5 entriesFounded ByAllAhmad al-Tijani (1)Amadou Bamba (1)Baha al-Din Naqshband (1)Rumi (1)Originated InAllSenegal (1)Turkey (1)Part OfAllSaifia (1)Parent Order / Branch OfAllHamallayya (1)Inayati Order (1)Ishq-Nuri Tariqa (1)Ismailaga Jamaah (1)Jahriyya (1)Khalidiyya (1)Khufiyya (1)Menzil Community (1)Mujaddidi Order (1)Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Order (1)Qadiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya (1)Suleymancilar (1)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (4)Suppressed, then revived (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1190 (1)1244 (1)1318 (1)1782 (1)1883 (1)Liturgical LanguageAllClassical Arabic (5)Ordination PracticeAllAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordination (5)Doctrinal PositionAllAffiliation to one order only, forfeited by taking a second (1)An interior path (tasawwuf) pursued within the schools of law (5)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 (3)Remembrance of God practised inwardly and in silence (1)Kind of orderAllSufi Orders (3)ApostolateAllSpiritual Direction and Dhikr (2)BrowseCompareSelect all 5Chishti OrderShaykh Led LineageMevlevi OrderShaykh Led LineageMuridiyyaShaykh Led LineageNaqshbandi OrderShaykh Led LineageTijaniyyahShaykh Led LineageSources1.
