Salaamu Alaykum

Peace upon you and welcome to the online home of the Qadiri Rifai Sufi Order

We are a traditional, Islamic order whose origins started with two great Saints of early Sufism: Abdul Qadir al Geylani and Ahmed ar Rifai. Our Tradition is one of inclusiveness and of welcoming. As Sufi poet Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi (circa 1200 ACE) says;

Come, Come whoever you are, wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. Our's is not a caravan of despair. Come even if you have broken your vows a thousand times, Come, come yet again.

In this site we present our understanding on the issues and knowledge inherent to a spiritual path from a Sufi perspective. We have divided this information into four sections.

In the section titled Qadiri Rifai Sufi Order you will find information on our purpose, our history and our teachers.

The Path of Sufism contains information that is common to most Sufi orders in the world.

Guidance to the Path is an introduction to the basic practices we give to Qadiri Rifai students who wish to walk the Sufi path.

The Virtual Dergah includes a calendar of activities carried out by our order, our online bookstore, contact information and a donation form.

"Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, unbeliever, fire worshiper. Ours is not a caravan of desperation. Come even if you have broken your vows a thousand times, Come. Come again."
