Download PDFSyed Ahmad Ullah Maizbhandari (1826-1906), a very renowned Islamic Jurist, Professor of
Islamic Studies, and famous Sufi-Master, founded the Maizbhandari Tariqa in the late 19th century.
The Maizbhandari Tariga is the only Sufi order that is originated in Bengal. The tariqa emphasizes
Cae self-purification, tolerance, interfaith harmony, coexistence, and the importance of giving priority to
the will of Allah by distinguishing the concepts of Usul-e Sab’a, Wilayat-e- Mutlaqa, Adal-e-Mutlaq,
and Tawhid-e-Adyan. The tariqa draws its legacy mainly from the teachings of Shaykh Ibn Arabi
(1165-1240) and Shaykh Abd al-Ghani Ibn Ismail al-Nabalusi (1641-1731)
