The Qadiri Sufi order( tariqa ). This derives its name from Abdul Qader Jeelani Al Amoli (1077–1166 CE, also transliterated as"Jilani" etc.) who was a native of the Iranian province of Mazandaran . The order relies strongly upon adherence to the fundamentals of Islam.Common names for descendants of this order include Ahmed Qadri . The Qadri are all Sufis. The order, with its many offshoots, is widespread, particularly in the Arabic -speaking world, and can also be found in Turkey , Indonesia , Afghanistan , India , Bangladesh , Pakistan , the Balkans , Israel , China , East and West Africa . A few famous travelers and writers such as Isabelle Eberhardt also belonged to the Qadiri order.
