Al-Tariqa al-Kasnazani is a Sufi order popular in Iraq and Iran, and a sub-order of the Qadiri order. It is the largest tariqa in Iraq and is spread widely across neighboring countries. Its spiritual lineage to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad passes through his cousin and son-in-law Ali Ibn Abi Talib. The present spiritual master of the Kasnazani order is Shaikh Nehro Abdul Kareem al-Kasnazani al-Qadiri al-Hussaini. The Kasnazani order makes no distinction between Sunni and Shia followers.
