| The '''Qadiriyya''' ({{lang-ar|القادِرية}}, also [[transliterated]] Qādirīyah, ''Qadri'', ''Qadriya'', ''Kadri'', ''Elkadri'', ''Elkadry'', ''Aladray'', ''Alkadrie'', ''Adray'', ''Kadray'', ''Kadiri'', ''Qadiri'', ''Quadri'' or ''Qadri'') are members of the Sunni Qadiri [[tariqa]] ([[Sufi]] order). The tariqa got its name from [[Abdul Qadir Gilani]] (1077–1166, also transliterated ''Jilani''), who was a [[Hanbali]] scholar from [[Gilan Province|Gilan]], [[Iran]]. The order relies strongly upon adherence to the fundamentals of Sunni Islam.
| |
|
| |
|
| The order, with its many offshoots, is widespread, particularly in the non-Arabic-speaking world, and can also be found in [[Turkey]], [[Indonesia]], [[Afghanistan]], [[India]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Pakistan]], the [[Balkans]], [[Russia]], [[State of Palestine|Palestine]], [[China]],<ref name=tombs48>[[Dru C.

| ==History==
| | }} |
| The founder of the Qadiriyya, [[Abdul Qadir Gilani]], was a scholar and preacher.<ref>Omer Tarin, ''Hazrat Ghaus e Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani sahib, RA: Aqeedat o Salam'', Urdu monograph, Lahore, 1996</ref> Having been a pupil at the [[madrasa]] of [[Abu Saeed Mubarak Makhzoomi|Abu Sa'id al-Mubarak]], he became the leader of this school after al-Mubarak's death in 1119. Being the new [[sheikh]], he and his large family lived in the ''madrasa'' until his death in 1166, when his son, [[Abdul Razzaq Gilani|Abdul Razzaq]], succeeded his father as sheikh. Abdul Razzaq published a [[hagiography]] of his father, emphasizing his reputation as founder of a distinct and prestigious Sufi order.<ref name="Tarin">Tarin</ref>
| |
| | |
| The Qadiriyya flourished, surviving the [[Siege of Baghdad (1258)|Mongolian conquest of Baghdad in 1258]], and remained an influential [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] institution. After the fall of the [[Abbasid Caliphate]], the legend of Gilani was further spread by a text entitled ''The Joy of the Secrets in Abdul-Qadir's Mysterious Deeds'' (''Bahjat al-asrar fi ba'd manaqib 'Abd al-Qadir'') attributed to Nur al-Din 'Ali al-Shattanufi, who depicted Gilani as the ultimate channel of divine grace<ref name="Tarin"/> and helped the Qadiri order to spread far beyond the region of Baghdad.<ref name="Tarin"/>
| |
| | |
| By the end of the fifteenth century, the Qadiriyya had distinct branches and had spread to [[Morocco]], [[Spain]], [[Turkey]], [[India]], [[Ethiopia]], [[Somalia]], and present-day [[Mali]].<ref name="Tarin"/> Established Sufi sheikhs often adopted the Qadiriyya tradition without abandoning leadership of their local communities. During the [[Safavid dynasty]]'s rule of [[Baghdad]] from 1508 to 1534, the sheikh of the Qadiriyya was appointed chief Sufi of Baghdad and the surrounding lands. Shortly after the [[Ottoman Empire]] conquered Baghdad in 1534, [[Suleiman the Magnificent]] commissioned a dome to be built on the [[mausoleum of Abdul-Qadir Gilani]], establishing the Qadiriyya as his main allies in [[Iraq]].
| |
| | |
| [[Khawaja]] Abdul-Allah, a sheikh of the Qadiriyya and a descendant of the [[Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]], is reported to have entered China in 1674 and traveled the country preaching until his death in 1689.<ref name="Tarin"/><ref name="Lipman1998">{{cite book|author=Jonathan Neaman Lipman|title=Familiar strangers: a history of Muslims in Northwest China|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Y8Nzux7z6KAC&q=ataq+allah&pg=PA72|date=1 July 1998|publisher=University of Washington Press|isbn=978-0-295-80055-4|pages=88–}}</ref> One of Abdul-Allah's students, Qi Jingyi Hilal al-Din, is said to have permanently rooted Qadiri [[Sufism]] in China. He was buried in [[Linxia City]], which became the center of the Qadiriyya in China.<ref name="tombs48"/> By the seventeenth century, the Qadiriyya had reached [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]]-occupied areas of Europe.
| |
| | |
| [[Sultan Bahu]] contributed to the spread of Qadiriyya in western [[India]]. His method of spreading the teachings of the Sufi doctrine of Faqr was through his Punjabi couplets and other writings, which numbered more than 140.{{Citation needed|date= January 2018}} He granted the method of [[dhikr]] and stressed that the way to reach divinity was not through asceticism or excessive or lengthy prayers but through selfless love carved out of annihilation in God, which he called [[Fana (Sufism)|''fana'']].{{Citation needed|date= January 2018}}

| Sheikh Sidi Ahmad al-Bakka'i ({{lang-ar|الشيخ سيدي أحمد البكاي بودمعة}} of the [[Kunta family]], born in the region of the [[Noun River (Morocco)|Noun river]], d.{{nbsp}}1504 in [[Akka, Morocco|Akka]]) established a Qadiri ''zawiya'' ([[Sufi]] residence) in [[Walata]]. In the sixteenth century the family spread across the [[Sahara]] to [[Timbuktu]], [[Agades]], [[Bornu Empire|Bornu]], [[Hausa people|Hausaland]], and other places, and in the eighteenth century large numbers of Kunta moved to the region of the middle Niger where they established the village of Mabruk. Sidi [[Al-Mukhtar al-Kunti]] (1728–1811) united the Kunta factions by successful negotiation, and established an extensive confederation. Under his influence the [[Maliki]] school of [[Sharia|Islamic law]] was reinvigorated and the Qadiriyyah order spread throughout [[Mauritania]], the middle [[Niger]] region, [[Guinea]], the [[Ivory Coast]], [[Futa Toro]], and [[Futa Jallon]]. Kunta colonies in the [[Senegambia]]n region became centers of [[Muslim]] teaching.<ref>Ira M. Lapidus, ''A History of Islamic Societies'', Cambridge University Press, p. 409</ref>
| |
| | |
| Sheikh [[Usman dan Fodio]] (1754-1817) from [[Gobir]] popularized the Qadiri teachings in [[Nigeria]]. He was well educated in classical Islamic science, philosophy, and theology. He also became a revered religious thinker. In 1789 a vision led him to believe he had the power to work miracles, and to teach his own mystical ''[[Wird (Sufism)|wird]]'', or litany. His litanies are still widely practiced and distributed in the Islamic world.<ref>https://archive.org/details/DalailuShehu "Dalailu Shehu Usman Dan Fodio." Internet Archive. Accessed 27 May 2017.</ref> Dan Fodio later had visions of [[Abdul Qadir Gilani]], the founder of the Qadiri tariqah, an ascension to heaven, where he was initiated into the Qadiriyya and the spiritual lineage of Muhammad. His theological writings dealt with concepts of the [[mujaddid]] "renewer" and the role of the [[Ulama]] in teaching history, and other works in Arabic and the [[Fula language]].<ref name=lapidus469>Lapidus, Ira M.

| * Qadiri leadership is not centralised. Each centre of Qadiri thought is free to adopt its own interpretations and practices.
| |
| * The symbol of the order is the rose. A rose of green and white cloth, with a six-pointed star in the middle, is traditionally worn in the cap of Qadiri dervishes.

| ===Qadri Noshahi===

| The Qadri Noshahi<ref>{{cite book|last1=Burkurdari|first1=Hafiz Muhammad Hayat|title=Tazkirah Noshahia}}</ref> [[silsila]] (offshoot) was established by [[Muhammad Qadiri|Syed Muhammad Naushah Ganj Bakhsh]] of [[Gujrat City|Gujrat]], Punjab, [[Pakistan]], in the late sixteenth century.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tasawuf/Sufism & teachings of Shams Ali Qalandar|url=http://shamsaliqalandar.blogspot.com/|website=Hazrat Shams Ali Qalandar}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Sarwari Qadiri===
| |
| Also known as Qadiriya Sultaniya, the order was started by [[Sultan Bahu]] in the seventeenth century and spread in the western part of [[Indian Subcontinent]]. Hence, it follows most of the Qadiriyya approach. In contrast, it does not follow a specific dress code or require seclusion or other lengthy exercises. Its mainstream philosophy is contemplation of belovedness towards God.<ref>{{cite book|author=Sult̤ān Bāhū|title=Death Before Dying: The Sufi Poems of Sultan Bahu|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GlECx1j0B4IC|year=1998|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-92046-0}}=</ref>

| | |
| ===The Qadiriyya–Mukhtariyya Brotherhood===
| |
| This branch of the Qadiriyya came into being in the eighteenth century resulting from a revivalist movement led by [[Al-Mukhtar al-Kunti]], a Sufi of the western [[Sahara]] who wished to establish Qadiri Sufism as the dominant religion in the region. In contrast to other branches of the Qadiriyya that do not have a centralized authority, the Mukhtariyya brotherhood was highly centralized. Its leaders focused on economic prosperity as well as spiritual well-being, sending their disciples on trade caravans as far away as Europe.<ref>Abun-Nasr, Jamil M.

| ===Ansari Qadiri Rifai Tariqa===
| |
| Shaykh Muhammad Ansari was born in Baghdad and moved to Erzincan in northeastern Turkey in the early 1900s. He was a descendant of both [[Abdul Qadir]] Geylani and [[Ahmed er Rifai]] and was a shaykh of the [[Rifai]] [[Tariqa]]. In [[Turkey]] he met Shaykh Abdullah Hashimi of the [[Qadiri]] order.
| |
|
| |
| Shaykh Muhammad Ansari and Shaykh Abdullah Hashimi worked together for many years. After Shaykh Muhammad Ansari strengthened his connection to the [[Qadiri]] [[Tariqa]], Shaykh Abdullah Hashimi sent him to Istanbul to establish the Qadiri Rifai Tariqa and revive the Ayni Ali Baba Tekke.
| |
| | |
| Sometime after his arrival in Istanbul, Shaykh Muhammad Ansari came across a soldier who lay mortally wounded. Through his lineage Shaykh Muhammad had received the power to heal, so he cured the soldier by use of his spiritual gift. Upon hearing how the soldier's life was saved, Sultan [[Abdul Hamid II]], himself a [[Sufi]] of the [[Qadiri]] order, asked Shaykh Muhammad what he would like as a reward for his act. The Shaykh asked for permission to build a Sufi center on the foundation of the ruined Ayni Ali Baba Tekke. The Sultan consented.
| |
|
| |
| Shaykh Muhammad Ansari and his wife went on to rebuild the tekke with their bare hands. Shaykh Muhammad Ansari headed the Qadiri Rifai Tariqa in the Ayni Ali Baba Tekke from 1915 until his death.

| |
|
| |
| Shaykh Muhammad Ansari's son, Shaykh Muhyiddin Ansari, who was born in Erzincan, succeeded him. As qutb of his time, a very high spiritual station, Shaykh Muhyiddin Ansari raised 101 khalifas, or representatives, and many thousand dedicated murids (students) all over Turkey, Germany, and the former Yugoslavia.

| |
|
| |
| Before he died, Shaykh Muhyiddin Ansari was given the privilege to start a tariqa in his own name, called the Tariqat-i Ansariya, or Ansari Tariqa. He appointed Shaykh Taner Vargonen Tarsusi to start the Tariqat-i Ansariya in the United States under the name Qadiri Rifai Tariqa of the Americas. Then he bestowed his name "Ansari" to Shaykh Taner as a gift. Today the Sufi Order is known as the Ansari Qadiri Rifai Tariqa, and the living Pir (leader) is Shaykh Taner Vargonen Ansari Tarsusi er Rifai el Qadiri.
| |
| | |
| Shaykh Taner and his wife Es-Seyyida Es-Shaykha Muzeyyen Vargonen Ansari travel to and have established centers of the order in the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[Mexico]], [[South Africa]], [[Tanzania]], [[Mauritius]], [[Germany]], [[Australia]], and the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aqrtsufi.org/aqrt/history.html|title=History of the Ansari Qadiri Rifai Tariqa}}</ref>
