Inayati Order

The Inayati Order (Inayatiyya), is an international organization dedicated to spreading the Sufi teachings of Inayat Khan, a musician and mystic who first introduced Sufism to the modern Western world in 1910.

His initial mission was as a classical Indian musician, pursuing the directive of his own Sufi teacher Abu Hashim Madani to “Fare forth into the world, my child, and harmonize the East and the West with the harmony of your music.

[13] Inayat Khan also traveled extensively in the United States as a musician and teacher, and established a circle of students in North America.

During this time Inayat Khan’s teachings grew in popularity and The Sufi Order International held numerous retreats, courses, and gatherings in Europe and North America.

In 2003, Zia Inayat-Khan and senior teachers launched Suluk Academy, a course of intensive study in the teachings of Inayat Khan.
