I am often asked which tariqat we represent.I have thought about this for a while and came to the conclusion that we are Chisthi,Naqshbandi and Shadhili.That means that we are carrying simultaneously the open-mindedness of the Indian Chisthi tradition(Pir Vilayat Khan),the balance between worldly duties and otherworldly aspirations of the Naqshbandis (Sheikh Nazim)and the single-minded focus on marifat(God-consciousness) of the Shadhili tariqat(Sheikh Abu-Qassim and Sheikh Nuh).A potent combo I must say!I feel both a sense of pride and humility at the grandeur of this transmission.Alhumdulillah.
