Jerrahi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jerrahi (Turkish: Cerrahiyye, Cerrahilik) are a Sufi order (Tarika) derived from the Halveti (Khalwati) order. Their founder is Pir Nureddin al-Jerrahi, who died in Istanbul and is buried at the site of his tekke in Istanbul. During the late Ottoman period, the tarika was widespread throughout the Balkans, particularly Macedonia and southern Greece (Morea).
Founded in the 17th century by Hadrat Pir Muhammed Nureddin Al-Jerrahi, the Halveti-Jerrahi Order of Dervishes is an Islamic Sufi path of Love: Worship the Creator with Love and serve His Creation with Love. The Halveti-Jerrahi Order of Dervishes is a cultural, educational, and social relief organization with members from diverse professional, ethnic and national backgrounds.
Hadrat Pir Muhammed Nureddin Al-Jerrahi is a direct descendant of the Muhammad both from his mother and father. The path he founded is dedicated to the teachings and traditions, through an unbroken chain of spiritual transmission (silsilah), that go directly back to Muhammad.
The head dergah (Sufi convention) of the Halveti-Jerrahi Dervishes is in Istanbul. It has branches in some of the European Countries, Australia, South Africa, South America and North America including New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Chicago.
Branches of the Halveti Jerrahi Order of Dervishes all around the world conduct gatherings where the dervishes perform Sufi remembrance ceremonies (zikrullah), practice sufi music, serve dinner, pray together and listen to the discourses of their Sufi guides.
The Jerrahi Order was brought to western countries by the 19th Grand Sheik Muzaffer Ozak (also known as Muzaffer Efendi), who passed away in 1985.
