Abstract
Despite the historical denial of the life of Qadiriyya by some researchers in the geography of Khorasan, Studies and observations in recent years show the opposite in some southern cities of Khorasan Razavi. The purpose of the upcoming essay is to describe and analyze the causes of the cultural change and transformation of this sect, which was done in an ethnographic way, relying on observation, frequent interviews and field presence in the religious gatherings of this sect with regard to its historical sources. The statement of the factors and obstacles to the acceptance of the Qadiriyya Tariqat in the south of Khorasan Razavi is one of the findings of this research. The incompatibility of the content of the tariqat with the opinion of some religious people and modernity are the two main factors in reducing the trend and establishing the family of Sheikh Sharaf al-Din Ahmad and the homogeneity of the practical conduct of this sufi order with the culture of the region is one of the factors of its growth. And despite some changes in the contemporary Qadiriyya compared to the Kurdistan Qadiriyya, its future will be overshadowed by factors such as the power of the opponents, the luck of the supporters, the economy and the religiosity of the people in the future.
