Supreme Council of Sufi Orders

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Supreme Council of Sufi Orders ( Arabic المجلس الأعلى للطرق الصوفية, DMG al-Maǧlis al-aʿlā li-ṭ-ṭuruq aṣ-ṣūfīya ) of the Arab Republic of Egypt is composed of ten elected members from among the sheikhs of the various tariqas and five appointed members. The five appointed members are the representatives of al-Azhar University , the Ministry of Religious Foundations , Local Government, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Culture. The decisions of the council are taken by a majority. A majority is not enough to approve a new Sufi order ( tariqa ).

The Grand Sheikh and politician Abdel Hadi al-Qasabi , head of Qasabiya - Sufi order , a branch of Chalwatiya -Ordens, since 2010 the head of the Supreme Sufi Council.

After the death of Ahmed Kamel Yasin in 2008, there was a follow-up dispute between al-Qasabi and Mohamed Alaa al-Din abu Azaim , the head of the Azaimiya order. In 2009, the regime intervened in the power struggle within the Sufi Council and in April 2010 the Egyptian President Mubarak appointed al-Qasabi, who was loyal to the regime, as head. After the revolution , a number of Sufi sheikhs, including the Alexandrian Sufi leader Sheikh Gaber Kasem , demanded his removal because of his proximity to the regime.

    "The Highest Council of Sufist Trends is the Supreme Sufi Council, composed of 10 elected members from among the Sheikhs of the different tarikas plus 5 appointed members representing Al-Azhar, the Ministry of Religious Endowments, Local Administration, the Ministry of Interior, and the Ministry of Culture. The Council's decisions are taken by majority. In order to approve a new tarika, majority alone is not enough. The Scientific and Cultural Committee must review the petition to create a new tarika, establish the genealogy of the Sheikhs of the new tarika to the Prophet, and make sure that there is continuity with previous Sheikhs who adopted and practiced the same tarika.
