Led by the Shaykhs of the Golden Chain — inheritors of the spiritual knowledge of the Prophets and Saints; the Naqshbandi Order has always played a central, pivotal role in the life of the Muslim world and has survived the turmoil and tribulations of the past century to remain one of the few authentic mystical traditions maintaining a living link with its ancient past.
