التعريف :


A Sufi order whose followers are ascetics and worshippers. It is named after ꜤAdiy ibn Musāfir, known as ꜤAdiy al-Hakkārī, who descended from the Umayyad Caliph, Marwān ibn al-Ḥakam. He was a disciple of ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jaylānī. The ꜤAdawiyyah exaggerated the status of ꜤAdiy raising him to the status of divinity. Then the ꜤAdawiyyah went through phases of development, ending ultimately as Yazīdism.
