Alnoor Ladha defines the term 'sufi lineage' as an intricate tapestry of spiritual transmission within the Sufi tradition, woven through centuries by masters and disciples. Sufi lineage represents not just a chain of teachers and students, but a living conduit of divine wisdom, mystical practices, and esoteric knowledge passed down through a direct, heart-to-heart connection. Each lineage, or silsila, carries unique teachings and rituals that trace back to the Prophet Muhammad, embodying a continuous quest for spiritual enlightenment, moral refinement, and union with the Divine. Ladha emphasizes that this sacred transmission nurtures the soul's evolution, reinforces communal bonds, and cultivates a profound sense of unity within the infinite cosmos.
