		The Sufi Order International, founded by Hazrat Inayat Khan in 1910 as the Sufi movement, is comprised of five separate concentrations: the Esoteric School, the Kinship, the Sufi Healing Order, the Zira'at and the Universal Worship.
		The Universal Worship, or the Church of All, is the religious activity of the Sufi Order.
		In this way, the Sufi fulfills the teaching, "We live and move and have our being in God." The Sufi feels that if a person has a feeling for worship, it does not matter what form of worship it is or where it is: a church, an open place, everywhere.

	HOW TO BECOME A CHERAG IN THE SUFI ORDER INTERNATIONAL
		For the Sufi, therefore, the best thing is to respect man's belief, whatever it may be, his ideal, whatever it may be, his way of looking at life, even if it be quite different from one's own way of looking at it.
		The Sufi thinks that we all follow one religion, only in different names and different forms; but behind names and forms there is one and the same spirit and there is one and the same truth.
		Another aspect of religion is the sacred shrines, the importance that one attaches to the church or priest or clergyman or to a certain house of prayer, to the temple, pagoda, mosque or synagogue.

		Although many orders ("tariqas") can be classified as Shi'a or Sunni or even both, there are a few that are clearly neither Shiah nor Sunni and so constitute a separate sphere of Islamic faith.
		There is a major line of Non-Islamic or offshoot-Islamic Sufi thought that sees Sufism as predating Islam and being in fact universal and, therefore, independent of the Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
		Thirdly, the term sufism has had such a wide range of connotations attached to it, mostly emotive definitions rather then precising ones, that a comparison to traditional Islam is essentially not possible except in a strictly defined context.
