The Naqshbandi Silsila (or Order) is one of the most renowned spiritual paths in Islam, and it traces its lineage back to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through a rich chain of revered spiritual guides. This chain is often referred to as the Golden Chain (Silsilat al-Dhahab), signifying the purity, continuity, and strength of the spiritual lineage that connects the seeker to the Prophet through his closest companions.
