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

The Idrisiyya order (Arabic: الطريقة الإدريسية, romanized: al-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 a similar methodology to 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]

Spread and influence

Originally based in Mecca, this tariqa was spread widely in Libya, Egypt, Sudan, East Africa (Somalia, Eritrea, Kenya), Yemen, the Levant (Syria and Lebanon) and South East Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei). It also has followers elsewhere, such as in Pakistan as well as Italy and the United Kingdom.[8]

Among the paths adhering to the Idrisiyya methodology include the Khatmiyya, Dandarawiyya, the Ja'fariyya, and the Salihiyya.[9] The order has a great deal of overlap with the Deobandiyya and Ahl al-Hadith of India,[2] but are opposed to the Wahhabi belief of affirming corporeality for God.[2]

The litanies and prayers of Ibn Idris in particular gained universal acceptance among Sufi orders and has been incorporated into the litanies and collections of many paths unrelated to the Idrisiyya that reject the order's methodology.[10]

Members

Opposition

The order's methodology has been opposed by al-Ahbash, who have declared that the Dandarawiyya path have fallen into blasphemy and no longer follow the Quran despite reading it.[15] Unsurprisingly, the Idrisiyya has also been opposed by Barelvis, who see their methodology as being heretical, and similar to Deobandis and Ahl al-Hadith.[16]
