What is Sufism? (Video)
Naksibendi (Naqshbandi) Sufi Zawiya in the Catskill Mountains, New York
The Osmanli
Naks-i'bendi Hakkani Dergahi is an Islamic center for the
worship of ALLAH. The Dergahi (pronounced der-ga-ha) was
built and is maintained according to Islamic principles and
practices.
We
are Muslims. Our faith is Islam. Islam means submitting to
God's Will and accepting that there is no god but ALLAH (the
One God) and that Muhammad is the Messenger of ALLAH, peace
and blessings upon him, as are Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Noah
and Adam, peace be upon them all. Muhammad, peace and
blessings be upon him, is the Seal (last) of the Prophets.
Like the majority of Muslims, we are Sunni Muslims.
We
are followers of the most distinguished Naks-I’bendi Hakkani
Tarikat (sufi order), which traces its traditions directly
back to the life-style and teachings of Prophet Muhammad,
peace and blessings be upon him. Sufism (‘Tasawwuf’, in
Arabic) is one of the Islamic sciences. Under the guidance
of a Sheykh of the Tarikat, sufism is the way of purifying
oneself from bad manners and characteristics in preparation
for passing clean to the afterlife. Sufism is the
spirituality in Islam. The chain of transmission (of the
teachings) is documented through the 40 GrandSheykhs of the
Tarikat back to Abu Bakr Siddik, the first companion to whom
the Prophet passed the sufi knowledge of the heart.
Worldwide Naksibendi Leader: Mevlana Shaykh M. Nazim al-Hakkani al-Kibrisi
The Grandsheykh of the
Naks-I’bendi Hakkani Tarikat is Sultan Evliya Mevlana Seyh
Muhammad Nazim al-Hakkani el-Kibrisi. His deputy, Sheykh
Abdul Kerim al-Kibrisi, established the Osmanli Naks-I'bendi
Hakkani Dergahi in the Catskill Mountains of New York in
2002, after a quarter century of leading tarikat activities
in New York City. The makam (shrine) of Grandsheykh Abdullah
Daghestani, may Allah bless his secret, is on the dergah
land.
