Question:

Answer:
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani wrote in Classical Islam and the Naqshbandi Sufi Tradition as cited at the Naqshbandi Website:
His lineage from his father’s side traces its roots to Sayiddina `Abdul Qadir Jilani, founder of the Qadiri Order. His lineage from his mother goes back to Sayiddina Jalaluddin Rumi, founder of the Mevlevi Order. He is Hassani-Hussaini, related to the Prophet (s) through the lineages of his grandfathers to the Family of the Prophet (s). From his father’s side he received the Qadiri Tariqat. From his mother’s, the Mevlevi Tariqat.
