Here’s the second part. It contains a beautiful verse by Mawlana Jami: ” ba sidq-o safa gasht bechara Jami ghulam-e-ghulaman Aale Muhammad” Allahumma Salli ala Sayyedna Muhammadin wa ala Aale Sayyedna Muhammadin wa baarik wa Sallim.

An Exqusite Na’at
Posted in Uncategorized on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Here’s a gift for Friday, the day we should especially remember the Beloved of God ( Upon him be blessings and Peace). Another beautiful Na’at by Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The chorus “Halqe mein Rasuloon ke woh mah-e-Madani hai” ( In the circle of Messengers is that Madinan Moon) goes straight to the heart.

Shaykh Sadruddin Qunawi was the successor and step-son of the Shaykh al-Akbar and the main expositor of his teachings in the Persian speaking world. Amongst the things he mentioned in his final counsel to his disciples was: 1- Adhere to the Quran, Sunnah and Ijma. 2- Limit yourselves to the clear and unambiguous amongst the [...]
The Way and The Goal

We have no way to God, different from what He has laid down in the law. Whoever says there is another way has spoken a falsehood. The disciple has no goal but the Real. When his goal becomes manifest, wherever it becomes manifest, he should uphold it and stick to it. For the Men come [...]
Doorkeepers of the Real (Al-Haqq)

Know that reverence for the Real lies in reverence for the Shaykh. To break the compact of obedience to the one is to do the same with the other. The Shaykhs are the doorkeepers of the Real ……………….If a person becomes the companion of a shaykh who can be followed as a guide and does [...]
True Life

When the momin progresses through firm faith and certainty and reaches the level where the light of faith becomes rooted such that it becomes similar to the instinct in animals, then he becomes a complete wali (saint). The animals (hayawan) do not accept any outward interference in their constitution, either from their surroundings or from [...]
The Pledge (Bay’at)
Posted in Islam, Knowledge, Sufism on August 21, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Bay’at is from root the meaning “to sell”. The disciple’s pledging himself to a master is the same as selling himself to him, however, the buyer here is God Himself. As He has said: ” God has purchased of the believers…….”. In practice the agent of this sale is the Messenger (peace and blessings be [...]

Green Sufi has drawn our attention to an excellent website dedicated to Hz Sayyedina Ali bin Usman al-Hujweri aka Hz Data Ganj-Baksh Lahori (May Allah be well pleased with him). He has drawn our attention to the importance of Kashf al-Mahjub as a guiding text of Sufism. I thought I’d put something that I came [...]
