About Maizbhandari Tariqa

Syed 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 Tariqa is the only Sufi order that is originated in Bengal. The tariqa emphasizes 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). The conference explores the spiritual and philosophical foundations of Perfected Humanity through the Maizbhandari Sufi tradition. Organized by Darul Irfan Research Institute (DIRI), it aims to foster unity, dialogue, and understanding across cultures and faiths.
