He is also known by his many honorifics as Sultan-al Always sheikh Mawlana as-Sayyid Khwaja Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani al-Rabbani al-Qubrusi al-Firdausi an-Naqshbandi. He was born in Larnaca, Cyprus, hence the title "Kibrisi" Cypriot. He traces his lineage to the 11th century Sufi Abdul Qadir Jilani and the 13th century Anatolian mystic Jalaluddin Rumi. His maternal and paternal grandfathers were sheikhs in the Qadiri and Mevlevi orders respectively. As a child, the young Nazim showed a propensity towards spirituality. His father sent him to school to study secular knowledge during the day and in the evening he studied Islam at the local maktab, where he learned the basics of Islamic law, jurisprudence, the Hadith and Qur'anic exegesis. Sheikh Nazim is a spiritual leader of the Naqshbandi golden chain. He is also head of the Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Order. He has also written or dictated many books, some of which have been published by the Islamic Supreme Council of America. After completing secondary school in 1940, at the age of 18 the young Nazim moved to Istanbul where two brothers and a sister were living. He studied chemical engineering at Istanbul University. While advancing in his non-religious studies, Nazim continued his education in Islamic theology and the Arabic language under the tutelage of Sheikh Cemalettin Elassonli. Nazim received a degree in chemical engineering and he excelled among his colleagues. Yet he would later state, "I felt no attraction to modern science. My heart was always drawn to the spiritual sciences." He later came to master not only his native tongue Turkish, but Arabic, English, and Greek as well. At some point during his first year of life in Istanbul, Nazim met his first spiritual guide, Sheikh Suleyman Erzurumi, who was a murshid in the Naqshbandi Order. 10 Sheikh Nazim attended the gatherings of this particular sheikh which were held in the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Here he learned the basic spiritual methods of the Naqshbandi Order, in addition to those of the Qadiri and the Mevlevi. His focus on spirituality was further reinforced by the unexpected death of an elder brother. Shortly after attaining his degree Sheikh Nazim received inspiration to go to Damascus in order to find the famed Naqshbandi master, Sheikh Abdullah al-Fa'izi ad-Daghestani. He obtained permission from Sheikh Erzurumi to leave Istanbul and in 1944 he arrived in Syria, although the unrest caused by the Vichy French government prevented his entry into Damascus until 1945. Upon meeting with the master, whose tekke is located on the slopes of the Jabal Qasyoun, Sheikh Nazim took his hand in bay'ah, or initiation. The young Sheikh Nazim's mystical faculties were self-evident and he advanced along the Sufi path with great speed. Shortly thereafter Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani ordered Sheikh Nazim to return to his native Cyprus to deliver spiritual guidance. Sheikh Abdullah also conferred the title of "Sheikh" to Sheikh Nazim thus giving him the legitimacy to speak on behalf of the Naqshbandi Order. While in Cyprus, Sheikh Nazim came into conflict with pro-Atatürk governing body of the Turkish community of the island. His repeated act of making the adhan in Arabic rather than the prescribed Turkish brought several lawsuits against him and there were some 114 cases lodged against him for crimes against the secular order. Nevertheless all these were dropped shortly thereafter with the coming to power of Adnan Menderes in Turkey, whose government opted for a more tolerant approach to Islamic traditions. Sheikh Nazim moved back to Damascus in 1952, when he was wed to the daughter of one of the murids of Sheikh Abdullah Daghestani, Amina Adil (1929–2004), whose family came to settle in Syria after fleeing Soviet rule of their native Kazan. From that time, Sheikh Nazim took up residence in Damascus, and every year he would visit Cyprus for at least three months. The couple have two daughters and two sons. 11 Worldwide mission work In the year following the death of Sheikh Abdullah Fa'izi ad-Daghestani in 1973, Sheikh Nazim began visiting Western Europe, travelling every year from the Middle East to London. On his return trips to Damascus, he would often drive by car through the former Yugoslavia, spending time visiting the Muslim communities there. It became his practice to spend the month of Ramadan in the large centre established in London. In 2000 this practice was discontinued. In 1991, Sheikh Nazim visited the United States for the first time, at the invitation of his son- in-law and representative Sheikh Hisham Kabbani. At that time Maulana Sheikh Nazim made the first of four nationwide tours, during the course of which thousands of individuals entered the fold of Islam.

Maganda ang pagiging masunurin at magandang asal sa mga mgaulang pero ngayon wala ng kagandahang asal dahil di na sila sumusunod sa tariqa.Ang tariqa ay nagututuro ng kagandahang asal. Dito sa Anatoia, ang mga tariqa ay pinagbawala. Nung mawala ang Ottomans napuno na ng demonyo ang lugar na ito. Ang Tariqa ay pinagbawal din sa ilang muslim na bansa. Mayroon din na ibang bansa ang masama ang tingin sa tariqa. Sabi nila kapag nagpakita ka ng magandang asal at respeto ay masama ka daw. Ganito ang pagkagalit nila sa Tariqa. Sinusundan nila ang shaytan. Akala nila na dasal at pag-ayuno lang ang kailangan sa Islam. Mahalaga ang matutuo ng kagandahan asal. Tinuruan ng magandang asal ang Banal Propeta Muhammad alayhis salatu was salam at kanya naman ito naituro sa mga Sahaba. Ang mga Sahaba naman ang nagturo sa mga Ulama at Awliya. Ito ang daan niya. May mga zawiyas na ipinasara na dahil nawala na ang mga Shaykhs at Ulama. Ang mga natira na lang ay mga masasamang loob.May ilan din ang mga sumusunod sa kanila at nadadala sa kasamaan.

  • The Naqshbandi-Haqqani Order, Which Has Become Remarkable for Its Spread in the “West” and Its Adaptation to Vernacular Cultures
    From madness to eternity Psychiatry and Sufi healing in the postmodern world Athar Ahmed Yawar UCL PhD, Division of Psychiatry 1 D ECLARATION I, Athar Ahmed Yawar, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 A BSTRACT Problem: Academic study of religious healing has recognised its symbolic aspects, but has tended to frame practice as ritual, knowledge as belief. In contrast, studies of scientific psychiatry recognise that discipline as grounded in intellectual tradition and naturalistic empiricism. This asymmetry can be addressed if: (a) psychiatry is recognised as a form of “religious healing”; (b) religious healing can be shown to have an intellectual tradition which, although not naturalistic, is grounded in experience. Such an analysis may help to reveal why globalisation has meant the worldwide spread not only of modern scientific medicine, but of religious healing. An especially useful form of religious healing to contrast with scientific medicine is Sufi healing as practised by the Naqshbandi-Haqqani order, which has become remarkable for its spread in the “West” and its adaptation to vernacular cultures. Research questions: (1) How is knowledge generated and transmitted in the Naqshbandi- Haqqani order? (2) How is healing understood and done in the Order? (3) How does the Order find a role in the modern world, and in the West in particular? Methods: Anthropological analysis of psychiatry as religious healing; review of previous studies of Sufi healing and the Naqshbandi-Haqqani order; ethnographic participant observation in the Naqshbandi-Haqqani order, with a special focus on healing.

  • Situating the Apocalypticism of Shaykh Nazim and the Naqshbandi- Haqqaniyya
    From Amuq to Glastonbury: Situating the apocalypticism of Shaykh Nazim and the Naqshbandi- Haqqaniyya Submitted by Rhiannon Conner to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Arab and Islamic Studies In May 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The Naqshbandi-Haqqaniyya are one of the most well known and researched tariqas in the West. Until May 2014 the leader of the tariqa was Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani (1922-1914) who somewhat unusually among modern Sunni Sufi shaykhs taught consistently that the world is in its last days and approaching a global apocalyptic change. It is these apocalyptic teachings, primarily articulated by Shaykh Nazim, that are the focus of this thesis. While an element of Shaykh Nazim‟s teachings that has been noted by a number of scholars, there has been little in the way of comprehensive research on the apocalyptic teachings past the year 2000 or on how Shaykh Nazim‟s apocalypse compares to those found either in wider Islamic thought or other religious traditions. By utilising sources produced until Shaykh Nazim‟s death in 2014 this thesis thus aims to make a distinct contribution to the knowledge by identifying what characterises the apocalypticism of Shaykh Nazim and the Naqshbandi-Haqqaniyya, how this compares to other Muslim apocalypses, whether its form can be accounted for, and how murids in one branch of the tariqa interpret teachings in the post-millennial period.

  • Wires of Wisdom: Orally, Literally, and Experientially Transmitted Spiritual Traditions in the Digital Age
    Ayman Kole Martin A. M. Gansinger Wires of Wisdom: Orally, Literally, and Experientially Transmitted Spiritual Traditions In The Digital Age Abstract: This article is discussing the possibilities of new media technologies in the context of transmitting ancient spiritual traditions in various cultural and religious backgrounds. The use of internet as a means to preserve the orally transmitted knowledge of the Aboriginals and Maoris, and in doing so transferring their cultural heritage to their younger generations and interest groups. Following is an extended case study of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order and its specific compatibility of a traditional orientation towards spiritual work among people rather than monastic seclusion and its recent application of digital media resources. Therefore, new technology is being discussed as a logical extension, not without attention being drawn to possible limitations, however. Keywords: Internet, Digital Media, Culture, Tradition, Religion, Sufism Introduction Interestingly, in some cases, environmental factors have led to cultural oddities where language is concerned. For instance, the whistled language developed as a type of oral communication to convey the tonal and rhythmic patterns of syllables over vast distances. Worthy of note, the small isolated town of Kuşköy (its actual translation means Bird Village) in the mountainous Black Sea region of Turkey, has puzzled linguists with the development of what its locals call kuş dili, the bird language. The whistled language can be heard for more than half a mile in distance amid rural background noise barriers and adapts standard Turkish syllables into distinct acoustic signals. To demonstrate, the question Do you have fresh bread? which in Turkish means Taze ekmek var mı? is represented by six separate whistles made by fingers, tongue and teeth.
