Silsila Azeemiyya
The Azeemi Sufi Order, known in Urdu as Silsila Azeemiyya (سلسلہ عظيمیہ), and in Arabic as Al-Ṭarīqah al-Aẓeemiyyah (الطريقة عظيمية) is a Sufi Tariqa (religious order) named after and founded by Muhammad Azeem Barkhiya, also known as Qalandar Baba Auliya. It was established in 1960 (1380 AH) in Karachi, Pakistan.[1][2][3]
There are more than 100 Azeemi centers (Muraqaba Halls) internationally.[4]
The order was headed by Muhammad Azeem Barkhiya until he died in 1980, and then by Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi until his death in February 2025. Waqar Yusuf Azeemi is the current and third head of the order, succeeding Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi.[5][6]
