Haqaniyya or Haqqani is an Islamic confraternity of Cypriot origin, later spread in Lebanon and the United States of America. It is part of the Khalidi branch, inspired by the teachings of Khalid al-Baghdadi, of the ṭarīqa Mujaddi of the Sufi order Naqshbandi.

Diffused mainly in the western part of the United States, it is very rooted in the Near East and has thousands of followers in India and England.

Structure
The ṭarīqa has a highly hierarchical pyramidal structure. At the lowest level of the structure are the muhibbun, above which are the murabun (Islamic students), who consider the sheik (the leader of the brotherhood) Nazim al-Qubrusi al-Haqqani as a spiritual father.
