What is Inayati?

It refers to Hazrat Inayat Kahn, who first brought Sufism from India to the west in the early 1900s.

 

What's different about Inayatiyya, compared to other Sufi groups?

• There are numerous groups practicing and teaching Sufism. 
• Hazrat Inayat Kahn's direction was to spread the message of Love, Harmony and Beauty. 
• He also stressed that this group is interfaith. People of every religion are represented, along with people who profess no religion.
