Naqshbandi Owais'īyya Order (Persian: سلسله نقشبندیه أويسیه) is one of the major Sufi orders (ṭuruq, singular tariqah) of Islam. Formed in 1380, the order is considered by some to be a "sober" order known for its silent dhikr (remembrance of God) rather than the vocalized forms common in other orders.

Description
The Naqshbandi order is notable as it is the only Sufism order to trace its spiritual lineage (silsilah) to Muhammad through Abū Bakr, the first of the Sunni Rashidin Caliphs. In contrast, most other turuq trace their lineage through ‘Alī, Muhammad's son-in-law, fourth Sunni Rashid and first Shī‘ī Imam-Caliph.
The word Naqshbandi originates in the name of the founder of the order, Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari. Some have said that the translation means "related to the image-maker," some also consider it to mean "pattern maker" rather than "image maker," and interpret "Naqshbandi" to mean "Reformer of Patterns", and others consider it to mean the "Way of the Chain" or "Naqshbandi Golden Chain".
