Kubrawiya
Sign in to saveAlso known as D̲h̲ahabiyya
The Kubrawiya order () or Kubrawi order, also known as Kubrawi Hamadani, is a Sufi order. The order traces its spiritual lineage (Silsilah) back to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, through Ali—Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, and the First Imam—as do many other Sufi orders. The Kubrawiya order is named after its 13th-century founder Najm al-Din Kubra, who lived in Konye-Urgench (present day Turkmenistan) under the Khwarazmian dynasty. In 1221, the Mongols captured Konye-Urgench and killed much of its population, including Sheikh Najmuddin Kubra.

The Kubrawiya order places emphasis on the universality of its approach. It is popular in Bangladesh, Mauritius, eastern India, and some areas of Pakistan.
