Jaririya


Jaririya is a Sufi order, one of the largest Sufi orders in North Sinai. The Jaririya order is named for its founder, Sheikh Eid Abu Jarir, who was a member of the Sawarka tribe and the Jarira clan, and established the order in Sinai in the 1940s. The Jarira clan resides in the vicinity of Bir al-Abed.
It has 130 affiliated mosques in Egypt today.
In reaction to the Islamic State of [Iraq and the Levant – Sinai Province|Sinai Province] group's threats, the Jaririya order had decided to rebuild its maqam shrines without domes.
The Jaririya order is lineally descended from the Alawi-Ahmadi, Alawiyya, Darqawa, and Shadhili branches.
