The Naqshbandis in Western and Central Asia

Özdalga, E. (2000)

Book review

The Naqshbandi order constitutes one of the leading Sufi orders (tariqa) in the Muslim world. Baha'al-Din Naqshband (d. 1389), the order's eponym, originated from Bukhara in Khorasan. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the order developed into a world-wide organization, spreading to areas as culturally and geographically distant as Central Asia, Eastern Turkestan, India, China, Afghanistan, and the then Ottoman Empire (including the Balkans).
