A [[tariqah]] is how a religious order is described in [[Sufism]]. It especially refers to the mystical teaching and spiritual practices of such an order with the aim of seeking   ''[[haqiqa|ḥaqīqah]]'' "ultimate truth". Such tariqas typically have a ''[[murshid]]'' (guide) who plays the role of leader or spiritual director. Members and followers of a tariqa  are known as ''[[Murid|murīdīn]]'' (singular ''murīd''), meaning "desirous", viz. "desiring the knowledge of knowing God and loving God" (also called a ''[[faqir|faqīr]]'' {{lang|ar|فقير}}). Tariqas have [[silsila]]s ({{langx|ar|سلسلة}}) which is the spiritual lineage of the Shaikhs of that order. Almost all orders trace their silsila back to the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]]. Tariqas are spread all over the Muslim world.
