Qaderi Sufi order, with followers in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, knows itself as based on mystical doctrines of Sheykh Abdolqader Gilani. However, according to history the famous Hanbali jurist of the 6th century after Hegira, himself did not found an order, and left it to his followers to enter such an endeavor. Qaderiye Order became known only as late as 9th century after Hegira, and is amongst few dervish orders, whose music ceremonies even nowadays, after issuing the permission by Khalife, are accompanied by miracles and wonders.
The order divides itself into two main branches known as Talebani, and Kasnazani. Their ceremonies are usually held on Fridays. Apart from this day, some beatific days in the calendar such as `eyd-e azha, the Prophet's Birthday, the day of Prophet's Ascension (known as mi'raj), occasions their ceremonies. Dervishes' presence in front of their audience does not ruin the authenticity and quality of their performances; they are not bothered when witnessed by ordinary people. They even install loudspeakers outside their khaneqahs, in different neighborhoods, to communicate with other people through their music ceremonies.
