Ṭarīqa ʿAliyya Qādiriyya Kasnazaniyya
Ṭarīqa is the spiritual side of Islam. It is the way that links the Muslim spiritually to the spirit of the Prophet (prayer and peace be upon him) and ultimately to the Greatest Spirit, Allah. This link is established through the spiritual touch of the “bayʿa (pledge)” when the person puts his hand in the hand of the Shaikh of Ṭarīqa who is linked to the Prophet.

So whosoever breaks his pledge he breaks it only to his soul’s harm, and whosoever keeps his covenant with Allah He will bestow on him a great reward. [48.10]
