Sufi orders

Ṭarīqah means "way, path, method" and refers to an Islamic religious order; in Sufism, it is conceptually related to ḥaqīqah-"truth", the ineffable ideal that is the pursuit of the tradition. Thus one starts with Islamic law, the exoteric or mundane practice of Islam and then is initiated onto the mystical path of a ṭarīqah. Through spiritual practices and guidance of a ṭarīqah the aspirant seeks ḥaqīqah - ultimate truth.
