Idrisiyya

The Idrisiyya is a Sufi order founded by Ahmad Ibn Idris al-Fasi (1760-1837). Its adherents are widespread throughout North Africa, from where it has spread to Saudi Arabia and Southeast Asia. A branch of this order was introduced in Singapore by the followers of Shaikh Muhammad Said al-Linggi (d.1926).

Hazrat Ahmad bin Idris had spiritual teachers in the Shadhili sufi order. Although Idrisiyya is based on a direct Uwaisi spiritual relationship with the Prophet Muhammad, it is historically linked to the Shadhili order, which in turn is linked to Qadiriyya.
