Explanation

The Naqshband order is a Sufi order that emphasizes the importance of spiritual retreat (khalwa) as a means of spiritual growth and self-purification.

Naqshbandis believe that spiritual retreat allows the individual to focus on their inner self, detach from worldly attachments, and cultivate a deeper connection with God.

The Naqshband order was founded by Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari (d. 1389 CE) and is known for its emphasis on:

• Spiritual retreat (khalwa)
• Silent contemplation (muraqaba)
• Devotional love (ishq)
• Inner purification (tazkiya)
