A Naqshbandi Sufi center in Jerusalem’s Old City, located on the Via Dolorosa. The zawiya was established by and continues to be under the care of a family that traces its lineage to the famous hadith scholar Imam al-Bukhari. The Bukhari family came to Jerusalem from Bukhara in Uzbekistan and founded the zawiya sometime in the early 17th century, during the Ottoman rule of Palestine.
Their current descendants run the zawiya and keep in it heirlooms and manuscripts that document the building’s history as well as that of the family.
