Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Oberster Rat der Sufi-Orden" in German language version.
„The Highest Council of Sufist Trends is the Supreme Sufi Council, composed of 10 elected members from among the Sheikhs of the different tarikas plus 5 appointed members representing Al-Azhar, the Ministry of Religious Endowments, Local Administration, the Ministry of Interior, and the Ministry of Culture. The Council’s decisions are taken by majority. In order to approve a new tarika, majority alone is not enough. The Scientific and Cultural Committee must review the petition to create a new tarika, establish the genealogy of the Sheikhs of the new tarika to the Prophet, and make sure that there is continuity with previous Sheikhs who adopted and practiced the same tarika.“
