Wikipedia notes that in Anglicanism alone "there are presently thirteen active religious orders for men, fifty-three for women, and eight mixed gender." Browsing by practice status lets a visitor tell a living order apart from one that has since died out.FactsLiving tradition, practised todaySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligious Orders 1Living tradition, practised todayFilter Results69 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 orderAllSufi 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 (5)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)1983 (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)ApostolateAllCharitable and Medical Work (1)Spiritual Direction and Dhikr (63)Teaching and Education (2)Liturgical LanguageAllClassical Arabic (64)Vernacular Language (8)Ordination PracticeAllAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordination (68)Scholarly Ijazah Authorization (1)Rooted InAllSufism (52)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Al-AhbashLiving tradition, practised todayBa 'AlawiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayBaba SamidLiving tradition, practised todayBadawiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayBawa Muhaiyaddeen FellowshipLiving tradition, practised todayBayramiyeLiving tradition, practised todayBektashi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayBudshishiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayBurhaniyyaLiving tradition, practised todayChishti OrderLiving tradition, practised todayDarqawiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayGalibi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayGulshaniLiving tradition, practised todayHamadshaLiving tradition, practised todayHamallayyaLiving tradition, practised todayIdrisiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayInayati OrderLiving tradition, practised todayIsawiyya orderLiving tradition, practised todayIshq-Nuri TariqaLiving tradition, practised todayIsmailaga JamaahLiving tradition, practised todayJahriyyaLiving tradition, practised todayJaririyaLiving tradition, practised todayJelveti OrderLiving tradition, practised todayJerrahi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayJilalaLiving tradition, practised todayKasnazaniLiving tradition, practised todayKhalidiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayKhatmiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayKhufiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayKhwajaganLiving tradition, practised todayKubrawiyaLiving tradition, practised todayLayeneLiving tradition, practised todayMadariyyaLiving tradition, practised todayMaizbhandariLiving tradition, practised todayMalamatiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayMaryamiyya OrderLiving tradition, practised todayMenzil CommunityLiving tradition, practised todayMevlevi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayMujaddidi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayMurabitun World MovementLiving tradition, practised todayMuridiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayNaqshbandi Haqqani Sufi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayNaqshbandi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayNasiriyyaLiving tradition, practised todayNasuhiLiving tradition, practised todayNimatullahi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayNoorbakhshiaLiving tradition, practised todayNur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi OrderLiving tradition, practised todayQadiriyya OrderLiving tradition, practised todayQadiriyya wa NaqshbandiyyaLiving tradition, practised todayShowing 1 to 50 of 69, page 1 of 2.12Next →Sources1.
