  The Naqshbandi Library
Traditional Islam and the Naqshbandi Sufi Tradition is a shining tribute to developing human relations at the highest level, and the power of spirituality to uplift humanity from its lower nature to that of spiritual triumph.

 Dhikr Controversy in Northwest China- Paper
Naqshbandi Sufism, both in its ‘silent’ and ‘vocal’ manifestations, as well as latter-day Ikhwani and Salafi movements are all depicted as having the same objective—to purge the faith of innovations from the local culture and to return to the Islam as practiced by the first (Arab) generations.

The role of the Naqshbandi Shaikhs of Hawraman in spreading and establishing the Naqshbandiyya-Mujaddidiyya-Khalidiyya in Kurdistan and in parts of the Middle-East is of central importance.
The Naqshbandi centre started in Hawraman in the 1830 has continued to be the most important sufi and cultural centre in Kurdistan during the last one and a half century.
