TheIdrisiyya order (Arabic:الطريقة الإدريسية,romanized: al-Ṭarīqa al-ʾIdrīsiyya) is aSufiorder ofSunni Islam founded byAhmad ibn Idris al-Fasi. It is also called the Tariqa Muhammadiyya, and it rejected following any of the fourschools of Islamic jurisprudence (Taqlid),^[2][3] adopting the samemethodology asIsmail Dehlavi, who remarked that the agenda of the new order known as Tariqa Muhammadiyya was topurify Islam and reject what they deemed to beBid'ah orShirk.^[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]

Originally based inMecca, this tariqa was spread widely inLibya,Egypt,Sudan,Somalia,Eritrea,Kenya,Yemen, theLevant (Syria andLebanon) and South East Asia (Malaysia,Singapore,Brunei). It also has followers elsewhere, such as inPakistan as well asItaly and theUnited Kingdom.^[8]

Among the paths adhering to the Idrisiyya methodology include theKhatmiyya, Dandarawiyya, the Ja'fariyya, and theSalihiyya.^[9] The order has a great deal of overlap with theDeobandis andAhl al-Hadith ofIndia,^[2] but is opposed to theWahhabi belief of affirmingcorporeality forGod.^[2]

Thelitanies andprayers 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]

• Ahmad ibn Idris al-Fasi, the founder of the Idrisiyya order.^[5]
• Mohammed Uthman al-Mirghani al-Khatim, founder of the Khatmiyya path in Sudan and Eritrea.^[9]
• Mowlana Abd al-Rahman Nurow. A Somali disciple of ibn Idris who spread the Tariqa Muhammadiyya inSomalia.^[11]
• Abu'l 'Abbas Al Dandarawi, Egyptian Sufi and founder of the Dandarawiyya path in Saudi Arabia.^[9]

• Salih al-Ja'fari. He edited and published the works of Ibn Idris and revived his order. He founded the Ja'fariyya path.^[12]
• Muhammad Abdullah Hasan, follower of the Salihiyya path which rejectsseeking intercession fromSaints in one'sinvocation of God, which it labels as Shirk.^[13]
• Shaikh Muhammad Said al-Linggi, who introduced a path of this order intoSingapore by the followers of al-Linggi.^[1]
• Shaikh Hafiz Muhammad Amin bin Abdul Rehman fromMultan.^[1][14] Idrisiyya was introduced inPakistan by him.^[1][14]

The order's methodology has been opposed byal-Ahbash, who have declared that the Dandarawiyya path have fallen intoblasphemy and no longer follow theQuran despite reading it.^[15] Unsurprisingly, the Idrisiyya has also been opposed byBarelvis, who see their methodology as beingheretical, and similar to Deobandis and Ahl al-Hadith.^[16]
