Siblings of Qadri Order
There are many siblings of Qadri order. After the era of Ghous-e-Azam (alias of Abdul Qadir Jilani) there were many Muslim sufi saints who followed him in his silsila. However, there were also many saints who, while staying in Qadri silsila, mothered their own murids (followers) by taking bayat.
The Qadiriyyah-Mukhtariyyah Brotherhood
This brotherhood is a branch of the Qadiriyyah order that came into being in the eighteenth century resulting from a revivalist movement led by Sidi al-Mukhtar al-Kunti, a Sufi of the western Sahara. Kunti wished to establish Qadiriyyah Sufism as the dominant religion in the western Sahara region. In contrast to other branches of the Qadiriyyah order, which do not have a centralized authority, Mukhtariyyah brotherhood was highly centralized. The leaders of this brotherhood focused on economic prosperity as well as spiritual well-being, sending their disciples on long trade caravans to places as far as Europe. [4]
