What is the attitude of the Sufi Order International towards women?
Hazrat Inayat Khan, founder of the Sufi Order International, offered this insight in the early part of this century: “The hour is coming when women will lead humanity to a higher evolution.” Women have always functioned in all roles of spiritual leadership within the Order. Spiritual practices and service are fully integrated and initial attempts have been made to update the language of the teaching to include the feminine. Several of the women teachers in the Order have made rich contributions by developing practices that facilitate an awareness of, and a deeper identification with, the feminine aspect of the divine.

May the blessings of God rest upon you, may God’s peace abide with you, and may God’s presence illuminate your heart!
