Khufiyya (Arabic: الخفية, romanized: the silent; borrowed as Chinese: 虎夫耶; pinyin: Hǔfūyé) is a tariqa (Sufi order) of Chinese Islam. It was the first tariqa to be established in China[1] and, along with the Jahriyya, Qadiriyya, and Kubrawiyyah, is acknowledged as one of the four orders of Chinese Sufism.[2]
Khufis dwell mainly in Northwest China, especially Gansu. The order follows the Hanafi school in terms of jurisprudence.[3] Traditional beliefs within the order claim the originator of Khufiyya to be Abu Bakr.[4] In addition, the doctrines of Khufiyya are influenced by a Confucian approach to expounding Muslim sacred texts known as Yiru Quanjing (Chinese: 以儒詮經).[5][6]
