In Egypt Majority of the Muslims follows a traditional sunni Islam with more inclination towards various orthodox Sufi practices

Orthodox Sunni practices involve accepting the ‘’tarika’’ (“path”) established by an inspired founder or shaikh. The shaikhs usually accompanied by murids, or pupils, whom they brought in the tarika. In Egypt there are 74 Sufi orders (tarikas), each officered by its own sheikh. Overseeing them is the Supreme Council for Sufi Orders and the president of Egypt is straight in charge of Sufi affairs.

The devotions of many Sufi orders center on diverse forms of the dhikr, a ceremony at which music, body movements, and chants induce the holy feelings among the adherents. Since the early 1970s, there has been a restoration of passion in Sufism. Egypt’s contemporary Sufis tend to be youthful, college-educated men in professional courses.

It is estimated that the number of Sufis or traditional sunni in Egypt have at least a third of the adult male Muslim community in Egypt, being representative of a Sufi order; fifteen million of the land’s approximately 80 million inhabitants “declare” Sufism “as a practice”, still others say that while 15 million are registered as Sufis, “the true figure is likely to be higher”. Participation at the festivals (moulids) the Sufi orders organize, is perhaps twice that (and includes women and children). The mawlids are a great demonstration of Traditionl sunni Islam in Egypt, and are held in honor of holy men and women. Sufi Muslims not only venerate the prophet Muhammad and his heirs (such as Hussein, whose moulid in Cairo can draws crowds of more than a million people), but also the founders

of many Sufi Tarika.There are dozens of  seldom known sheikhs venerated mostly in faraway rural areas. The largest mawlid in Egypt  in Tanta, which attracts an even wider estimate of settlers than hajj in Mecca. Three million Egyptians and other Arabs assemble there every October to honor the life of Sayid Ahmad al-Badawi, a thirteenth-century Sufi leader. According to the Egyptian Ministry of Awqaf (Islamic philanthropy), there are formally higher than forty such annual remembrances, and the Sufi Council in Egypt lists eighty other feasts for seldom-known founders of Sufi orders.

Affirming to a document circulated by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,

Egypt’s Islamic religious organization is firmly Sufi in tone. Obedience to a Sufi order has great been ruling for both professors and students in the al-Azhar mosque and university system. The current Shaykh al-Azhar (headmaster of the universitye), Ahmed el-Tayeb, is a genetic Sufi shaykh from Upper Egypt who has freshly declared his support for the creation of a world Sufi league; the current Grand Mufti of Egypt and senior al-Azhar scholar Ali Gomaa is too a remarkably recognized Sufi master.

He has performed some Hajj and Umras, the first Umra being in 1992 while the first Hajj in 1996. Apart from Holy Places,  Owais Qadri‘s  Is intrested in reading books in his spare times His favourite personality is Alahazrat, Mujaddid-e-Din-o-Millat Imam Shah Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi.  Owais Raza Qadri was wed in 1994 and possesses four children: two daughters and two sons named Mohammad Anees Raza and Mohammad Afeef Raza. He started reciting naats when he was 8 only. He was influenced by AlHaaj Yousuf Ashrafi (late) who was his ideal Naat Khawan as well. He did not take special naat classes but shared the camaraderie of “followers of Rasool Allah”. . Reciting the Kalaam of Imam-e-Ahle-sunnah, Alahazrat Shah Ahmed Raza Khan Sahab Barelvi is most liked by Owais Raza Qadri. His first album was issued in 1983, and after that numerous collections have been issued. He has moved to many lands of the earth setting the theme of Islam and devotion for the Holy Prophet  including England, Dubai, Iraq, Iran, India, Hijaz South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Syria  etc.  Qadri’s works for the promotion of naats were  acknowledged by the Government of Pakistan when he was presented the award of Best Naat Khawan in 2007. As a token of respect, he was also weighed in silver by Barkati Foundation in 2008.  Raza Qadri advises new naat khawans that Naat Khawani is Ibaadat and before reciting any naat essential knowledge should be collected about it and special care should be taken to ensure that it is not objectionable by Islamic Shariah. It is best to check all naats with a learned scholar. Furthermore, they should restrain from such acts which can be criticized by others. They should be true and practical Muslims, i.e. not that talking about love for the Holy Prophet   and murdering the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet  by shaving off the beard and not showing regularity in daily prayers. Owais Raza Qadri remarks that undoubtedly success lies within the fact that we must walk on the path guided to us by Allah Rabb-ul Aalameen and His Prophet , leave the way of strangers and always believe in death. Acquire adequate knowledge of Islam and recite at least one Ruku of the Holy Quran (Kanzul Iman) with translation.
