About the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi-Haqqani Sufi Way

The most distinguished Naqshbandi Way is a school of thought and practice that stood in the vanguard of those groups which disseminated truth and fought against evil and injustice, especially in Central Asia and India in the past, in China and the Soviet Union in modern times, and in Europe and North America today. Naqshbandi shaykhs who took up political, social, educational and spiritual roles in their communities, acting according to the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet sincere devotion

The most distinguished Naqshbandi Order is the way of the Companions of the Prophet and those who follow them. This Way consists of continuous worship in every action, both external and internal, with complete and perfect discipline according to the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasalam. It consists in maintaining the highest level of conduct and leaving absolutely all innovations and all free interpretations in public customs and private behavior. It consists in keeping awareness of the Presence of God, Almighty and Exalted, on the way to self-effacement and complete experience of the Divine Presence. It is the Way of complete reflection of the highest degree of perfection. It is the Way of sanctifying the self by means of the most difficult struggle, the struggle against the self. It begins where the other orders end, in the attraction of complete Divine Love, which was granted to the first friend of the Prophet, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq().

The chain further continues through pious friends of Allah, who all were granted their own unique and esteemed stations. This way is one that is based on the pure and preserved teachings of the beautiful religion of Islam.

In the Modern time era the Inheritor of the Chain was Sultan Ul Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil Al Haqqani Ar Rabbani (Alayhi Rahma) from Cyprus, He was a devout student and disciple of his Grand Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Ad Daghestani (Alayhi Rahma) who was from an area south of Russia and north west of Turkey known as Daghestan, near to Georgia and  and Azerbaijan Region, however Grand Shaykh Abdullah spent the latter part of his blessed life in the great city of Damascus, Syria which is where Mawlana Shaykh Nazim was first physically acquainted with him.

On May 7th of 2014 Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (alayhi Rahma) surrendered his soul to the will of Allah Almighty, leaving behind a legacy of Islam and a global following, before leaving us he clearly appointed his succesorship of the Golden Chain to be taken by his son Mawlana Shaykh Mehmet Adil Effendi (may Allah dress him in honour and raise his ranks).
