THE MUHAMMADIYYAH BRANCH OF QADIRI SUFI PATH AND THE VIRTUE OF BEING IN THE WAY OF AHLULLAH (THE PEOPLE OF ALLAH)

 This tariqa has been founded by sayyid Muhammad Qadiri hadrah and has been called “Muhammadiyyah Tariqa” in connection to its founders who is from the ancestors of our murshid sayyid Muhammad and is one of the caliphs of sayyid Abdulqadir Jilani hadrah. As well as Muhammadiyyah dargah being a Qadiri dargah in essence, it has been joined by the Nakshibandiyyah tariqa, the Abhariyyah tariqa, and the Mawlawiyyah tariqa and became an ocean leading to Allah just like streams coming together to form big rivers. The honourable Muhammadiyyah sufi path takes fayz (spiritual inspiration and power) from Abdulqadir Jilani, Bahauddin Nakshiband, Khalid-i Bagdadi, Khamudiddin Kayseri – Somunju Baba – sayyid Burhanaddin and Jalaluddin Rumi and leads to spiritual maturity through their spiritual power.
