Kubrawiya

The Kubrawiya order (Arabic: سلسلة کبرویة) or Kubrawi order,^[1] also known as Kubrawi Hamadaniyah,^{[citation needed]} is a Sufi order that traces its spiritual lineage (Silsilah) to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, through Ali, Muhammad's cousin, son-in-law and the First Imam. This is in similar to most other Sufi orders that trace their lineage to Ali. The Kubrawiya order is named after its 13th-century founder Najm al-Din Kubra, who lived in Konye-Urgench under the Khwarazmian dynasty (present day Turkmenistan).^[2] The Mongols captured Konye-Urgench in 1221 and killed much of the population including Sheikh Najmuddin Kubra.

The Kubrawiya order places emphasis on being a universal approach.^[3] It is popular in eastern India, Bangladesh and Mauritius and some areas of Pakistan as well.
