Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Order

The Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Order, also known as the Jerrahi Sufi Order, is a Sufi order based in New York City and Mexico City, founded by Muhammad Nur al-Din al-Jerrahi in Turkey in the 1700s. It is led by the American Sufis Lex Hixon, known as Nur al-Anwar al-Jerrahi, and Fariha Fatima al-Jerrahi, who received initiation from their spiritual guide Muzaffer Ozak Ashki al-Jerrahi, the Grand Sheikh of the Jerrahi order from 1966 until his death in 1985 and the nineteenth successor of the founder. The order is based at Sufi lodges in downtown Manhattan and at the Mezquita Maria de la Luz in Mexico City, describes itself as welcoming students of all sacred paths and as nonpolitical, and after Lex Hixon's death in 1995 was led by Fariha Fatima al-Jerrahi of New York and Amina Teslima al-Jerrahi of Mexico.
