Jerrahi
Encyclopedia : J : JE : JER : Jerrahi
The Jerrahi are a Sufi order (Tarika) derived from the Halveti (Khalwati) order. Their founder is Pir Nureddin al-Jerrahi, who died in Istanbul and is buried at the site of his tekke in Istanbul. During the late Ottoman period, the tarika was widespread throughout the Balkans, particularly Macedonia and southern Greece (Morea).
Founded in the 17th century by Hadrat Pir Muhammed Nureddin Al-Jerrahi, the Halveti-Jerrahi Order of Dervishes is an Islamic Sufi path of Love: Worship the Creator with Love and serve His Creation with Love. Halveti-Jerrahi Order of Dervishes is a cultural, educational, and social relief organization with diverse professional, ethnic and national backgrounds.
Besides the material connection, established by the fact that Hadrat Pir Muhammed Nureddin Al-Jerrahi is a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammed both from his mother and father, the path he has founded is dedicated to the teachings and traditions through an unbroken chain of spiritual transmission that goes directly back to the Prophet Muhammed.
The head dergah (sufi convention) of the Halveti-Jerrahi Dervishes is in Istanbul. It has branches in most of the European Countries, Australia, South Africa, South America and North America including Chicago.
The Branch of the Halveti Jerrahi Order of Dervishes in Chicago conduct mountly gatherings where the dervishes perform sufi remembrance ceremony (zikrullah), practise sufi music, serve dinner, pray together and listen to the discourse of Sheikh Ilhan Al-Jerrahi, the sufi guide.
One prominent member of the tarika was Muzaffer Ozak (also known as Muzaffer Efendi), the 19th Sheikh, who died in 1985. He brought the Jerrahi order into the western countries.
