Idrisiyya

381 A, Shah Rukne Alam Colony, Multan, where the Idrisiyya are centred in Pakistan.[1]

The Idrisiyya order (Arabic: الطريقة الإدريسية, romanizedal-Ṭarīqa al-ʾIdrīsiyya) is a Sufi order of Sunni Islam named after Ahmad ibn Idris al-Fasi. It is also called the Tariqa Muhammadiyya, and it rejected following any of the four schools of Islamic jurisprudence (Taqlid),[2][3] adopting the same methodology as Ismail Dehlavi, who remarked that the agenda of the new order known as Tariqa al-Muhammadiyya was to purify Islam and reject what they deemed to be Bid'ah or Shirk.[4][5]

It is not a Tariqa in the sense of an organized Sufi order, but rather a methodology, consisting of a set of beliefs and practices, which according to the order's members, aimed at nurturing the spiritual link between the disciple and Muhammad directly.[6][7]
