The 12th Naqshabandi Principle: Awareness of Places
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
Awareness of Place in the Quran:
Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa. (QURAN 20:12)
This inspiration came to my heart with reminding me of the verse about hz Musa a.s on awareness of place and thus filled the 12th principle of the most distinguished Naqshbandi-Rabbani Sufi Order (Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani q.s opens the way to be called Rabbani Tariqah), henceforth it will be known “Rabbani Tariqah” in the time of Hz Mahdi (a.s) , no other names and titles.
Awareness of Place in the Hadiths: (Edited Part)
Awareness of places has very significance in the End of Times. It is as if Imams of the Tariqah left the 12th principle for me to fill up and explain to the people of this time.
Today, people do not have multiple awareness of different places. They have same mindset in the toilet, in the streets, in the Masjids and in the holy places. Their heart is not working according to the various places they are entering. They browse internet in the toilets and in the mosques. They can’t put flight mode on or switch off the phone while attending Masjid. The respect for places have lost in the minds of people. They bring all their filth to Mosques though they wash their bodies very well and put nice perfume and make-ups. They bring all dirtiness to the places of Zikr (Zawiyas, Dergahs etc), they plot and create malice against their fellow brothers,
End of Times and Awareness of Places:
…….Then a people whom Allah had protected would come to Jesus, son of Mary, and he would wipe their faces and would inform them of their ranks in Paradise and it would be under such conditions that Allah would reveal to Jesus these words: I have brought forth from amongst My servants such people against whom none would be able to fight; you take these people safely to Tur. And then Allah would send Gog and Magog and they would swarm down from every slope. The first of them would pass the lake of Tiberias and drink out of it. And when the last of them would pass, he would say: There was once water there. Jesus and his companions would then be besieged here (at Tur, and they would be so much hard pressed) that the head of the ox would be dearer to them than one hundred dinars …… (Reference : Sahih Muslim 2937a, 54 The Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour (20)Chapter: Ad-Dajjal(20)باب ذِكْرِ الدَّجَّالِ وَصِفَتِهِ وَمَا مَعَهُ
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Neither Messiah (Ad-Dajjal) nor plague will enter Medina.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نُعَيْمٍ الْمُجْمِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ الْمَسِيحُ وَلاَ الطَّاعُونُ ”.
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 5731
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
“We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) collecting the Qur’an on pieces of cloth, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Tuba is for Ash-Sham.’ So we said: ‘Why is that O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Because the angels of Ar-Rahman spread their wings over it.'” Reference: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3954
Hudhaifa reported The Messenger of Allah (may peace be npon him) said: We have been made to excel (other) people in three (things): Our rows have been made like the rows of the angels and the whole earth has been made a mosque for us, and its dust has been made a purifier for us in case water is not available. And he mentioned another characteristic too (Sahih Muslim)
(This article might be edited again, as some inspiration descended in my heart after Night prayers)
There are more information to say on Awareness of places, we may explains a bit more in our blogs (Sufismlive.wordpress.com) when my heart expand to those inspirations.
Unedited Part:
There are eight Naqshbandi Principles formulated by the Imam of the Khwajagan (early Naqshabndi Silsila) order , Hazret Shaykh Abdul Khaliq Ghujdavani (Q.S) and three other principles formulated by the Imam of the Tariqah Khwajah Muhammad Baha’uddin Naqshbandi Al-Uwaisi Al-Bukhari (Q.S).
1-Hosh Dar Dam (Awareness of breath), 2-Nazar Bar Qadam (Watching the step), 3-Safar dar Watan (Journey in the Spiritual Path) , 4-Khalwat Dar Anjuman (Solitude in the Society) , 5-Yad Kard (Reminding outwardly and inwardly of God’s Name), 6-Baz Gasht (return to the responsibilities of a person according to Shari’ah after performing pure Zikr), 7-Concentration on God (Yaddasht), 8-Nigadasht (Guarding one’s spiritual state)
Other three Principles taught by Khwajah Shah Baha’uddin Naqshbandi (Q.S) as an additional three methods of training the students were:
9-Awareness of time (Wuquf E Zamani, 10-Counting the Zikr repetitions (Wuquf e Adadi), 11-Constant Attachment of Heart to God (Wuquf E Qalbi)
The 12th Naqshabandi Principle:
On this day in Ramadan, I, Jouhar Ali Naqshabandi Al-Hassani reveal the 12th Naqshabandi Principle, “Awareness of Places”.
We must be aware of both physical places and spiritual places. By saying Physical place, we must acknowledge, we are not living in paradise , and we don’t claim to make this world In to Paradise. And we don’t act like we are in paradise . We must act like we are living in a prison, and watched by prison officers. Because Nabi a.s says, this world is a prison for the believers and a paradise for the unbelievers (Hadith), and everyone is watched by two Angels who record their deeds in every moment and their every movement (Raqib and Atheed , peace be upon them).
We must be aware of spiritual places and the status of earth with in the Holy Words, and where such status is excluded . As it is said, whole earth is made into a Masjid for believers ,except certain places (e.g. unclean places and roads) and places (sometimes certain situations makes a place to be forbidden/disliked to be) that are forbidden to be. And to be aware of the places where opposite gender spend their time, to know our boundaries, rules and etiquettes in various places, and places that are disliked for us to spend time more than necessary (such as markets and toilets).
So I am inspired to call this principle: “Awareness of Place”. The virtues of a place is originated from a Prophet or Saint (Awliya Allah) who lived/spent time there. Therefore, saying, “awareness of place” is appropriate. Because even in the absence of such a pious person, the virtue of that place remain. Because in spirituality, a person and place is inseparable. Because the virtue of a place is named after the person who lived/stayed in that place (Maqam).
It is truly I. I am your Lord! So take off your sandals, for you are in the sacred valley of Ṭuwa. (Quran 20:12) , In this verse, Allah Almighty made Musa a.s aware of the place. Allah Almighty did not emphasis “I am your LORD, so remove your sandal”, but the emphasis is given on the place which Allah Almighty chosen to speak to Musa a.s. This is the basis of the 12th Naqshabandi principle. (Edited Paragraph)
We say, this is place where there is a grave of the Prophet, or towel of the Prophet, or turban of Gaws Al Azam or Maqam of a Wali of Allah (Saint). Because people enter into the “Place” before they meet the pious person, object or belongings that is preserved there, buried there, or living there. So the conscious that is going to precede is the place. And the virtues of a place is known by its landmarks, or the most important person lived there, or living there.
We must also be aware of sacred places , such as Masjids, Maqams (Shrines ) of the Prophets and Saints and how to observe best conduct and manners there. Hz Musa a.s was asked to remove his sandals. Because, only his sandals were unclean to enter that place. Because the place where Allah Almighty Addressed him become a sacred place. So he entered there removing his sandals. This is an order for common people to reflect and understand, and when we enter the place of Musa a.s or Maqam of Ibrahim a.s or Roza Sharif of Nabi Muhammad alaihiswalathu wa salam and other prophets and saints, we remove our sandals, that we use elsewhere. This is the protocol for us, for the spiritually enlightened people.
The Mosques have to be honoured and respected. Especially the main prayer hall where the pulpit is set up. And it is inappropriate and unspiritual for Masjids to attach toilets and area of purification to the Masjid building. It should be detached at least, or must be constructed away from Masjid’s main prayer hall. But these days, they follow Western ways when they build masjids, some masjids have toilets built inside of it. This are wrong ways, unspiritual and contrary to the ways of pious generations. You must go and see old Masjids. They built toilets and places of ablution outside of the Masjid. In it’s courtyards and toilet in the far corner of the ablution area. They kept the holiness of masjid in such a way. Today Mosques are built like shopping centres. All in one building in it includes-Masjid, Ablution area, toilets, kitchen etc. Toilets in the top floors as wells. This is not the way of traditional Islam (Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jamah). But masha Allah, everyone is a mufti today, a scholar, a Sufi, or whatever they call.
It is ok to have a closed or open corridor between Masjid and other utility areas. This prevent Masjid being attached to toilets and bathroom.
So when Hz Mahdi (a.s) comes forth, he will re-build or demolish certain masjids, old mosques as we explained here today, will remain as it is. New mosques, they all are going to be rebuilt or demolished. And everyone’s claim to scholarship, spirituality and piety will be exposed on that day!. Therefore, it is obligatory for everyone to listen and obey this words and put it into practice. So that you are safe when those days come.
We must be in good conduct and behaviour in the places where the pious scholars and ahlul bayt lives. Because the Quran and Hadith commands to honour the Pious Scholars and Ahlul Bayt.
So on this day, 17/18th Ramadan, we reveal and establish the 12th Naqshabandi Principle, “Awareness of Place” followed by the 11 Naqshabandi Principle. So that today the Naqshabandi Principles has been perfected to 12 holy principles, and it is a sign for those with spiritual insight to understand our position in the Naqshbandi and Rabbani Order. And whatever the LORD of Heavens Wish to Reveal or Manifest, He will reveal it through His Chosen Servants from time to time.
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds).(9:119)
Allah is Al Haqq, Nabi Muhammad alaihiswalathu wa salamis As-Sidq, Our Masters are Siddiqin (truthful) and Saliheen (righteous). So we must walk in the truth to walk in their path!
Musnad Ahmad 44 Mu’awiyah bin Salih narrated from Sulaim bin ‘Amir al-Kala’i, that Awsat bin ‘Amr said:I came to Madinah one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I found Abu Bakr addressing the people. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood before us last year… and he wept and struggled to speak three times, then he said: 0 people, ask Allah for well-being for no one is given, after certainty of faith, anything like well being and nothing worse than doubt after disbelief. You should be truthful, for it guides to righteousness and they lead to Paradise. Beware of lying, for it guides to immorality and they both lead to Hell.
Musnad Ahmad 46 It was narrâted that Abu ‘Ubaidah said:Abu Bakr stood up, one year after the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood where I am standing last year and said: “Ask Allah for well being, for no one is given anything better than well-being. And you should be truthful and righteous, for they lead to Paradise. Beware of lying and immorality, for they lead to Hell.`
Musnad Ahmad 34 It was narrated that Yazeed bin Khumair said:I heard Sulaim bin ‘Amir, a man from Homs who met the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), say – on one occasion he said: I heard Awsat al-Bajali narrate from Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq, he said: I heard him addressing the people – and on another occasion he said: when he was appointed as caliph – he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood last year where I am standing. Abu Bakr wept and said: “I ask Allah for pardon and well-being, for people are never given anything, after certainty of faith, that is better than well being. You should be truthful, for it leads to Paradise, and beware of lying, for it goes with immorality, and they lead to Hell. Do not sever ties with one another, do not hate one another, do not envy one another, do not turn your backs on one another; be brothers, as Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has enjoined you.`
Al-Mufrad 386‘Abdullah reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “You must be truthful. Truthfulness leads to dutifulness and dutifulness leads to the Garden. A man continues to tell the truth until he is written as a siddiq with Allah. Beware of lying. Lying leads to deviance and deviance leads to the Fire. A man continues to lie until he is written as a liar with Allah.”حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصِّدْقِ، فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ، وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِدِّيقًا، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْكَذِبَ، فَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ، وَالْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَذَّابًا.Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani) صـحـيـح (الألباني) حكم :Reference : Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 386In-book reference : Book 21, Hadith 2English translation : Book 21, Hadith 386.
The first step of walking in the truth is to abandon following your ego (Quran 25:43,45:23) and follow the guidance of the Prophet a.s. Then to obey the Shaykhs and Imams of the way. Speak to them truth, act according to their instructions , listen and obey (Quran 2:285, 4:59).
When you start doing that your ego learn to be obedient to higher truths, truths that are higer level. The spriitual truths, you will be able to receieve and retain spiritual truths. But if you observe dishonest behaviour with the deputies of Allah on earth and in heavens, even if you take direct bayat and worship of Allah, you will lose your way, just as the Satan lost his way!. Because the disrespect and disobedience to the Deputy of Allah (Hz Adam a.s) caused Satan to become a disbeliever!.
Satan was follower of the sqaureheads tawhid saying: “we need only Allah, everything else is shirk, following Shaykh is Bidha (innovation) and so on!
But they are not understanding that their Shaikh is Satan, who was the first proponant of that school of thought!
Quran 25:43 Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
Quran 45:23 Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allah ? Then will you not be reminded?
So let us follow the truth and act according to truth. It is the only way, truth shall set you free , said Jesus Christ (a.s). As long as you are not truthful, you remain in the prison of lies Freedom comes with being truthful and following the truthful (Quran,9:119)
We must live and love in truth, because Allah is Al Haqq and He is Al Wadud and He is Al Hayy. We should live according to this qualtities!

A Statement of Clarification from Jouhar Ali Naqshabandi Al-Hassani, regarding his authorization and spiritual lineage.
THE NAQSHABANDI UWAISI LINEAGE OF JOUHAR ALI NAQSHABANDI AL-HASSANI:
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
Al Quran 25:7 Yet they say: What sort of apostle is this [man] who eats food [like all other mortals] and goes about in the market places? Why has not an angel [visibly] been sent down unto him, to act as a warner together with him?”
And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others – will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing. (Al Quran 25:20)
Prophets and their inheritors, are chosen from heavens, it is not according to the criterion of formal qualifications from the institutions they are chosen or appointed!.
“Many rivers are here, which are originated from different locations and altitudes.But our river originate from Almighty God and returns to Almighty. Those rivers have to vanish in our river before even thinking to enter in the Divine presence.” Jouhar Ali Naqshabandi Al-Hassani (16 Augutst 2015)
So when Sahibul Saif came to our house, after Zikr (Saturday, Sahaban 10, 2009 AD), myself and Alikkoya Ustadh sat at the feet of Sahibul Saif , everyone had different needs , I said to Shaykh EFENDI, I don’t need any of this things they are asking you, give me your love, and Allah and His Messenger a.s .
Later, Seyh Abdul Kerim Efendi, asked us to lift him up from the chair, we four or five of them tried again and again. I thought I would get back pain, because I took Shaykh’s challenge to lift him up from the chair , but we could not. We accept the defeat and Then Seyh Efendi, got up himself.
Seyh Andul Kerim Efendi, one time said to me , when some buddies making trouble aroud 2011-2012 , he said: ” if they cause you any trouble, tell them to talk to me, don’t try to correct them, they will attack you”.
I asked Sahibul Saif : where should we build a dergah here? , please show me a place?
Seyh Efendi said: find yourself a place and build dergah in it.
But It has been inspired me to build a place next to our house.
But later another inspiration overook me , after seeing the behaviors of those who are in the possession of dergahs built with bricks and woods around the world. It has been inspired to my heart: “I must build dergah in my heart. Dergah of all the prophets and saints. So that wherever I am , there is the dergah . And wherever those who come to me and make baya into the way of Sahibul Saif Hazret Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al Kibirisi q.s and Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani q.s, then their hearts must too become a Dergah .
But I knew that, I asked a big thing, may be I am not worthy of such a blessings.But they gave me some prophets and saints to my heart and gave me a place of honour between Sayyidinaa Noah a.s and Gause Al Azam Shaykh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani (q.s).
That’s my spiritual Dergah forever , and all creations may renew their Bayat with me , those on earth and those in the Heavens, and my Bayat in the innermost Dergah Is the Bayat of Hazret Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s) for this saying in Hadith.
The Bayah is to Renew this declaration of Nabi alaihiswalathu wa Salam.

كتاب المناقب عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم49 Chapters on Virtues
Narrated Abu Sarihah, or Zaid bin Arqam – Shu’bah had doubt:
from the Prophet (ﷺ): “For whomever I am his Mawla then ‘Ali is his Mawla.”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَرِيْحَةَ، أَوْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ – عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ “ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاَهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاَهُ ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَى شُعْبَةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَأَبُو سَرِيحَةَ هُوَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ أَسِيدٍ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم .
Grade: Sahih (Darussalam)
English translation : Vol. 1, Book 46, Hadith 3713
Arabic reference : Book 49, Hadith 4078
This is not a boast or lie.
Let those who have heavenly wisdom attest it and conform to it. And others, let them follow their own ego, and leave them in their own ways, don’t argue with them. The Light of the LORD said to me!
Those accept us and the truth which is with us,.they are in safety, but those who reject and deny the truth that is given to me, then look at how far they have gone and how and where is their end!
The Spiritual Struggle:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
The easy experience privilege in the spiritual way and Islam is to always have the blessings of being in a group of followers ,.who are helpers and protectors of each other.
But in this way, I have been given the most difficult experiences and test. To be alone without a physical Jamath for over 12 years and to struggle with lot of worldly situations alone ,all these times. But my Shaykh stood with me always , in my success and in my failure. He didn’t blame me. I received the Divine Support , and Support of the Prophets, namely Nabi Muhammad alaihiswalathu wa Salam, Isa a.s , Yahya a.s and Musa a.s and Noah a.s and Grand Shaykhs, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim q.s , Gause Al Azam q.s and Sultanul Awliya Ahmad Kabir ar-Rifai q.s .
And worldly help, mostly through local Christians and non-practicing Muslims . Not from those who think they are very holy imams or Shaykhs.
Because the Mission and Work is , the declaration of “Rahmatan Lil alameen “.
Not just to be a leader for a cosy group or sect. But to be a servant of the LORD for His Creation, for the lost sheep and for the wounded horses and for the abandoned cows and for the fallen trees, for birds whose wings are broken.
Group dynamics, it is easy and comfortable for the ego, that’s why everyone want to party , everyone want to join some groups, whether spiritual of political. But try the way I struggled, and see how things are going with you. Prove your love for Islam , Naqshbandi way and Shaykhs , by being in my situations, then you may come and criticize and slander.
One time I saw Musa a.s preaching in a town and the whole world appeared like his time.
So I went to see him, people are traveling on chariots rode by bulls and on horses . But I saw Almighty enabled me to fly above them in Zikr.
Then I reached in the place where Musa a.s is delivering a sermon , calling people to Allah Almighty.
I stood in the air , next to a huge city gate . And looking at him from the side . And my heart saying, Alhamdulillah, at least now Musa a.s is here speaking for Allah , but I didn’t show up myself to him, in fear that if he sees.me his speech would be interrupted and it is more important for me to see He Serve Allah Almighty there to give advise to that large crowd there, than he sees me and come to me to welcome and spend time with me.
So with happiness and filled heart , I returned flying back . And Allah Almighty granted me supersonic speed for my return. When I went it was like flying a normal plane , but returning was like rocket speed. I think Allah Almighty was happy with the decision my soul had taken regarding his beloved servant, our Master Sayyidina Musa a.s .
This are not some school boy dreams to forget or ignore. It has been remembered every day or week or month. It is reminded with the Verses in the Book of Allah. Everything is connected to the Book of Allah.
“And it is a foolish idea to mess around with Musa a.s and those who are closely related to Musa a.s in spirit and truth.“
Sahih al-Bukhari 1339 Narrated Abu Huraira (ra): The angel of death was sent to Moses and when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely, spoiling one of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, “You sent me to a slave who does not want to die.” Allah restored his eye and said, “Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a number of years equal to the number of hairs coming under his hand.” (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then Moses asked, “O my Lord! What will be then?” He said, “Death will be then.” He said, “(Let it be) now.” He asked Allah that He bring him near the Sacred Land at a distance of a stone’s throw. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, “Were I there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way near the red sand hill.”
CONVERSATION WITH A MURID:
Naqshbandi Murid: …..
Can you tell me about the dream you had mentioned earlier , about seeing the Prophet. Can you explain me a bit more ?
……
……..
…….
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[16/08/2021] Jouhar Ali: Anyway , first time, I saw Nabi a.s giving me the call of Tawhid in an an association that appears to be from mothers home.
It is there I saw the three Khulafa ar-Rashideen for the first time, then the vision of the Prophet a.s
Then next time i saw Nabi a.s making me recite some special salawat from his own spirituality (not from books)
When I am in the UK: And it is this time I saw Sahaba for the second time then Nabi a.s
Same pattern as the first time .
I hope this is sufficient information
[16/08, 12:25] Jouhar Ali: The first one was in 2008 0r 2009.
Nabi alaihiswalathu wa Salam in a majlis wearing white dress and white turban , I am in the back yard of mothers house with local people ….but the association is taking place in the courtyard of the house. And I was called to the presence of the Prophet a.s and mighty ones sitting around Nabi a.s .
They called me, something like an announcement, , if I say it in English: ” is there anyone who is coming forward to speak”. Suddenly I felt someone pushing me to get up and walk to the Majlis when I sit behind the house which is facing eastward and the majlis is facing the west , front sitting area of the house of my mother facing West. Which is now renovating by my uncle .. so when you walk to my mother’s house, you will walk from west to east. But I am called called from East to West , to speak .
So i stood next to the Prophet a.s , I could not imagine if it is someone else .
So he asked me , “what do you know”?
I said: I do not know anything, but I try to remember what I learned from this world.
Then I said, “I have studied in high school and higher secondary, went to Madrassa for seven years, studied some Arabic as second language till College (University UG level I meant by that studying formal education).
Then all the people in the majlis are watching and I am getting more nervous. My worldly experience and qualifications never good for anything and I am about to shiver .
Actually when I say this to you now, I am shaking here..
Then I said, “I don’t know anything, but I can speak about Allah Subhana wa Ta’ala.”
He said, “then speak …”
Then I started speaking, something like this, Jouhar Ali Naqshabandi Jalwa ul asma ul husna wa Fatah ul Islam and spoken so loudly some glorification of Allah.
All of the Majlis listened in full attention, fear and respect.
The he said: “la ilaaha illa Allah…”
Again he said: ” la ilaha illa Allah..”
But all the people around him and in the association sitting in various ranks, are very silent in fear and obedience. I got more nervous, because no one is responding to the saying la ilaha illa Allah…
Suddenly, I said in a loud voice: Muhammad Rasoolullah
And I heard my loud voice and it made me wake up.
At that time I had taken only online bayat from another khalifa of mawlana Shaykh and lying down on the floor in a palm leaf like synthetic mat , and not sleeping in the cushion mattress!.. because I fell there after my prayer and slept , so then when wake up and prayed Tahajjud.
It put tears in me now , so it was not in 2008, it was in 2007 around August , 2 years before Sahibul Saif arrived and before I went to Qatar and renewed my bayat with Sahibul Saif in 2008 March ..
[16/08] Naqshbandi Murid: Can you tell about Al Mahdi dream?
[16/08] Jouhar Ali: Yes I saw him in the same place mother’s home, and Isa a.s as well arriving there , but I don’t remember Mahdi face.
[16/08] Naqshbandi Murid: How did you give bay’a? .Only dreamt him once?
That’s a blessed house of your mother.
[16/08, 12:46] Jouhar Ali: Thrice, Last one appeard to be bayat to Mahdi a.s , next one we are meeting at mother’s house and waiting for Isa a.s
I also saw sahibul saif taking rest on a leaning back style long chair in mother’s house.
Unfortunately I couldn’t not take him there, I should have , I was not very conscious about people or surrounding when seyh was there .
And in 2012, when Sahibul Saif veiled from this world, in the same night, a vision of Mawlana Shaykh took place in the Tahajjud time, I was called to the presence of Mawlana and he put a white turban on my head and gave command saying: “You must continue the work of Shaykh Abdul Kerim and Osmanli Naksibendi Tarikat (in exact words).
[16/08, 12:57] Naqshbandi Murid: What a blessing to have a family that follows a tariqa.
[16/08, 12:58] Jouhar Ali: Allah’s Mercy and blessings, not our birthright
It’s good that you asked me about that dreams. It revitalized me and reminded me of the duties. Because some people in the tarikat has been making every efforts to put down my works , by constantly criticizing and judging me and the works i do. Those who constantly put negativity and annoyance, while claiming to love me and helping me!.
[16/08] Naqshbandi Murid: Why do they do that?
[16/08] Jouhar Ali: I don’t know, and don’t ask them, they may demonize and slander you!
So those who have a problem with me or my words or my works, let them intercede with the Prophet a.s or Grand Shaykhs and clarify their issues concerning me, if they are in higher Stations and have power and authority.
It is unfair to target someone who is not doing any harm to you , but rather I am praying for you and praying for everyone to reach in higher Stations of faith and spirituality.
Everyone talk about Karbala with crocodile tears because it has also become a custom, Karbala is present everyday, and it is good for everyone to know which Camp of Karbala they are in , which camp of Badr they are in and so on and so on!
A Message to those who reject the Spiritual Lineage of Jouhar Ali Naqshabandi Al-Hassani
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
It hurts me very badly, when someone i have loved so dearly , is not willing to understand my words, and he says, I am blind. But he cannot explain which of this words are from a blind heart, if one person is blind himself alone and 9 other non-blind persons put obstacles on the blind, who do you defend? . The blind one or the 7-9 non-blind?
Or if 7 blind men together turn themselves inappropriately, and the one blind is helpless coming to a leader against theb7 blind people. Who do the leader defend, the seven blind or the one blind?
Sometimes, I am inspired with examples, but most times I am inspired with bitter doctrines!
Welcome to the justice of Islam!
Welcome to 21st century spirituality!
Welcome to distorted truths!
“And if I am blind (unfit), then they (those who reject my spriitual lineage) should go ahead and make a statement (a Fatwa) against me immediately without any hesitation, and say, Jounar Ali Naqshabandi Al-Hassani does not represent this way, Naqshbandi Way, in any way, and warn people about me .”
This is fair, when you do it, then your claims against me are true and people have a clarity.
And I don’t mind, you may go ahead, all of those who say they are Shaykhs of tarikats, but you must fear Allah’ alone . See how things will go ahead after that…. and I am still happy , unaffected by all false judgments of this world. And Allah And His Messenger alaihiswalathu wa Salam, sufficient for me .
I am not here to win followers for me or make me popular, my aim has always been to win followers for Naqshabandi Aliyah Tarikat and Islam (which is the way of Awliya) and popularize Al Haqq consciousness.
So I am unaffected and accepted by my LORD without a single follower. Without needing a name or fame.
So go ahead , I am saying to all Shaykhs and imams of this times…
Through such examples I am teaching you justice of Islam, to everyone of you. not only my Justice, justice for you as well (for you to have a firm stand on your claim, or accept my words) , justice for everyone else in between us (to remove their confusion)
ANOTHER STATEMENT TO THOSE WHO REJECT OUR LINEAGE: Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem
When Sahibul Saif was living on the surface of this earth , I was blessed to communicate with him almost every week. But not with any of his representatives there in America, if I tried to they criticize me or cut off without having a positive conversation, rather , they talk with a school boy tantrum mindset. But I understand their state of mind and character and level of conduct, so I have been very patient to this moment. Because I am not here to desert or forsake anyone. I want them to pay attention to the words I am saying and reflect upon it according to the guidance of Islam and imams of the Tariqat!
So one time during a conversation with Sahibul Saif Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi q.s, he very seriously admonished me and said: “take only from Shaykh Mawlana ” not from anyone else”. (Not exact words).
Therefore, when Mawlana Shaykh approved those ones to look after the Jamath of Shaykh Abdul Kerim q.s , I accepted it with further signs from Mawlana Shaykh q.s.
Another time , Before Sahibul Saif made his mast journey to Cyprus, I called Seyh Efendi q.s and asked him: “what should I do when the major fitnah and troubles of the end of times emerge?”.
Seyh EFENDI, said me : “go back to your homeland”
Because seyh Efendi wanted the way to continue in India under my leadership, and support the family and followers there.
Seyh EFENDI, didn’t instruct me to follow anyone else, apart from Mawlana Shaykn Nazim (q.s).
They speak about every principles and manners (Adab) and teach remind others , but they themselves forgot it in their own life?
This is detested by Allah Almighty in Quran Sura As-Saff, verse two and three!
And such attitudes and disobedience is counted as signs of hypocrisy in the Holy Traditions of the Prophet a.s
If it is still not clear and unbelievable, then listen to Mawlana Shaykh’s sohbet or go to someone from ahlul sunnah who is mastered in Arabic , who can read and explain to you the rules and regulations, Imams of the tarikat has written about concerning following Shaykh Murhsid Al Kamil of the time , and learn from the main source, if you do not believe in my words.
And I have not lied or concealed anything into writings, and you may invoke curse on the liars and deceivers, whoever they are, if you doubt that either me or someone else has deceived or lied to you. It is permissible in shariah to invoke curse of Allaah on the liars !
I am not invoking curse, because I deserve mercy for everyone , forgiveness and right guidance for everyone rather than their perishing.
Because, I have seen personally so many people who opposed me and slandered me , gone crazy or perished , without even invoking or praying against them. And I don’t want to happen that to someone, because I see they are Husbands or wives or father mother to someone.
So go ahead , you have choices, either believe me and do what is right.
Or in doubt go to the scholars who have tasawsuf books which explains the laws of tarikat.
Or be arrogant and stubborn, and invoke curse of God on the liars, and disbelieve in my words and don’t verify my words and find yourself unprofitable in following a group that follows misguidance and deviation!
The choice is yours, and there is no compulsion or hatred , everyone will find their way and destiny. I am only a reminder !
ACCEPTANCE OF OWAISI LINEAGEBY HAZRET SHAYKH ABDUL KERIM AL-kIBRISI (Q.S):
A conversation of Jouhar Ali Naqshabandi Al-Hassani (Q.S) with Hazret Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al Kibrisi (q.s) via telephone during Fajr time in India in Ramadan, 2009.
Jouhar Ali : Assalaamu alaikum Shaykh. Alikkoya Ustadh asked me to contact you today, he says that there are some people in his work place (Kannur district) , who are local people, can’t reach to you to take Bayat. Alikkoya Usthad asking me how can they take Bayat.
Sahibul Saif Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi q.s: “You and Alikkoya Can Give Bayat on behalf of me”.
Jouhar Ali Naqshbandi Al-Hassani : yes ,thank you Shaykh, I will inform him .
Shaykh EFENDI: Salam aleykum
Me: wa alaikumussalam
(Alikkoya Ustadh, who is my closest friend in the way, was a Khalifa of Qadri-Chisti order, he always persuade me follow their tariqa. However, after meeting with Hazret Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al Kibirisi q.s, he renewed bayat with Sahibul Saif, I heard from my brother and another person who went to Hyderabad to meet Shaykh EFENDI, that Alikkoya Master , has been going through episodes of Fana in Sahibul Saif, and he has been going through very heavy spiritual states.
Alikkoya Ustadh has been teaching tarikat and science of Tasawwsuf to highly learned scholars in Kerala as well as to others (According to their level) who took bayat to his previous Tariqat
Then Sahibul arrived in Kerala later in the last Thursday of 2009 July. On Friday Seyh EFENDI visited Alikkoya Ustadh’s house after Juma Prayer ..Seyh EFENDI performed Zikr at his House, and I started weeping and vanishing in his recitation of Allah Allah Allah …
Later the day before he leave, Sahibul Saif revealed that we are descended from the blood-line of Imam Hasan Bin Ali (r.a). Before he leave , seyh EFENDI instructed me to teach Zikr and Tarikat to my Father and brother.
In 2011, someone whoe name is ,Syed Shehzad, who took bayat from me ,after i asked him to contact Seyh EFENDI, and take Bayat from Sahibul Saif directly, and i told him not to tell Shaykh that he took bayat from me. Because I wanted him to Renew bayat with Sahibul Saif personally.
So later he had called Shaykh EFENDI and had a conversation with Shaykh. So I asked him about it , he said that he told Shaykh that he took bayat from me , so Shaykh said to him that it’s enough.
Again in 2011 end , some woman from London who has been long follower of Sahibul Saif, who contacted me and asked to pray for her, she has been looking to remarry. I told her increase salawat Nabi, she asked how much , I am according to my practice, told her recite a million or something. Later she called Sahibul Saif and told Shaykh that Jouhar Ali told me to recite so much salawat. Next day, when talked to Shaykh EFENDI on the phone, Shaykh Efendi said: “I heard you told her to recite so much salawaat , don’t burden people too much, give them zikr according to what they can carry” (roughly written).
Conclusion:
This is a very important point, those who are seeking truth, must listen to the words of the true defenders of the truth. Anyone can make claim that, they are the defenders of the truth. Everyone who took Bayat through me in the Osmanli Naksibendi Hakkani Sufi way of India, are connecting themselves to the living tree and through the living tree they are connecting to Sahibul Saif, Gause Al Azam, Imam Shah Naqshabandi and all other grand Shaykhs. But those who had refused me and my words, look at how it had gone with them in the past, and learn and understand how will go with those who refuse me today.
I do not have to defend myself, or my words , i am not answerable to people, except for what benefit them and what concern them. Allah Almighty Will defend me and His Cause He has bestowed upon me. The Quran gives examples. But those who fear and want to be in safety in this world and hereafter, then let them put their own ego down, humble themselves and come with manners and self discipline. As I always remind, it is a very foolish deed to underestimate me or what is given to me from the heavens!. You might be a Shaykh or scholar or Imam or a saint, but I remind you to understand the rights and duties Allah Almighty bestowed upon me through Nabi Muhammad alaihiswalathu wa salam, Sahibul Saif, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani (q.s) and other grand Shaykhs. They all believed and accepted. But some of you reject and oppose, abuse and slander.
So understand that, it won’t be karbala, it will be like in the time of Musa (a.s), he is also standing my side, Isa a.s and Yahya a.s also stand my side , Hazre Gibril (a.s), Hazret Mikhail (a.s) and Hazret Azrail (a.s) also stand in support of me. So it is good to investigate who are you trying to undermine and oppose. Truth will fully manifest, whatever is revealed, I am writing and explaining you, I did not have an idea yesterday, what I write now today, 19/08/2021 17.00 GMT!
I speak to every nations and tribes, every religions and people, and to everyone who must renew their Bayat with Nabi a.s and recognise the right of Hz Ali (a.s) . I am not a leader or a a shaykh , who is created for one group or for one place.
So we may all wake up and follow the word of truth and heavenly orders, orders.
HADITH ON USING MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR ZIKR NASHEED AND NAAT:
AND PERMISSION TO RECITE MAWLID AND POEMS OF /ABOUT PIOUS ONES/HISTORICAL EVENTS ETC
In the Name of Allah Most Merciful Most Beneficent
Allahumma Swalli Ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Ala Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa Sallim
Madad Ya Rijal Allah Madad Ya Sultanul Awliya Madad
We are opening this Blog Page “Sufi Answers” with a celebration and written music in it and poem. As any real time celebration comes with some poems, music and singing!
The Enemies of the pious and main body of Islam accuse Muslim majority for using music!. They says music is haram and bidha in Islam. However, their attack against Sufis and Ahlu Sunna (Main body) is coming from their hypocrisy and double standard!
Below are the Hadith references for using Music in Islamic environment.
It was narrated that A’isha (Radiyallahu Ta’ala Anha) said: “Abu Bakar (Radiyallahu Anhu) entered upon me ,and there were two girls from the Ansar with me, singing about what the Ansar used to sing about the Day of ‘Bu’ath’. She said: “And they they were not really singers.”
Abu Bakar (Radiyallahu Anhu) said: “The wind instruments of Satan in the house of the Prophet (SallaAllahu alaihi Wa Sallam)?. That was on the day of ‘Eid’ (Al Fithr). But the Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi Wa Sallam) said: “O Abu Bakar, every people has its festival and this is our festival”. (Sahih) Reference: Sunan Ibn Majah Vol-3 Page 90 Hadith 1898,Darussalam Publications.
Similar Hadith in sunan An-Nasa’i (Arabic-English) Hadith No: 1598 ,Vol2 Page 448-449 Darussalam Publishers
Note: Bu’ath was a place about two miles from Al Madinah where on that day before Islam, a battle took place between the Ansar tribe and tribe of Aus and Khazraj.
We see that Ansar used to commemorate (Urs) the major events in the life of their ancestors.
PERMISSION TO USE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND SINGING : It was Narrated from Muhammad bin Hatib that Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said :”What differentiate between the lawful and unlawful is (beating) the Duff and raising the voices (in song) at the time of marriage ” (Hasan) Sunan Ibn Majah [Arabic-english ], Vol 3, Hadith 1896, Page 89.Darussalam publications, Saudi Arabia.
Comments by the Translators: Beating Duff on the occasion of weddings serves the purpose that all the people will know about marriage. Songs,poetry etc, may also be sung at this occasion so long as it’s wording is not contrary to the teachings of the Shari’ah; and only the young girls, who are not adult, are allowed to do so. This type of entertainment is allowed during the Eid days too.
Verdict: This hadith refute Wahhabi attack on Sufi people using musical instruments and singing in the Zikr. Also, there is no prohibition or restrictions on which instrument is allowed which is prohibited. Those days only duff and drums were available, people today use electrical instruments, aren’t people using electronic Quran and sound instruments today?.
So wake up people of misguidance!
SINGING TO PRAISE THE PROPHET (ALAIHSWALATHU WA SALAM):
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (SallaAllahu alaihi wa Sallam) passed by some part of Al -Madinah and saw some girls beating their Duff and singing,
“We are girls from Banu Najjar
What an excellent neighbour is Muhammad”
The Prophet (SallaAllahu alaihi Wa Sallam) said: “Allah knows that you are dear to me” (Sahih) Sunan Ibn Majah 1899, Darussalam Publishers ,Saudi Arabia (Wahabi Publishers)
COMMEMORATION OF SPECIAL DAYS (BADR URS/ASHURA ETC WITH RECITING HISTORICAL POEMS)
It was narrated that Abu Hussain , whose name was Khalid Al-Madani,said:”We were in Al Madinah on the day of Ashura,and the girls were beating Duff and singing. We entered upon Ruba’i bint Mu’awwidh and mentioned that to her. She said: “the Messenger of Allah (SallaAllahu alaihi Wa Sallam) entered upon me on the morning of my wedding, and there were two girls with me who were singing and mentioning the qualities of my forefathers who were killed on the day of Badr. One of the thing they were saying was: “Among us there is a Prophet who knows what will happen tomorrow.” He (Prophet Salla Allahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: “Do not say this, for no one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah” (Sahih), Sunna Ibn Majah 1897
Comments: In Sufi Paths (traditional Islam), it is still a traditions to sing and commemorate the life of Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam, Sahaba ,ahlul bayth nd pious Imams and scholars.
Thise methods has a heritage and it is used as a means to keep the History and biography of Islam and Muslims alive, especially in the days when there is no abundance of paper or other methods to keep the History available to next generation, they preserved it through songs and poems and commemorated anniversaries.
Those who say this practice is Bidha and Haram, yet they run to some universities of yahudis and secularists for a Degree of Islam and write their own books and CDs to preach Islam, must be ashamed of accusing old traditional practices!
The Hadiths support that the practice of Urs (Commemoration of the martyrs and Saints) allowed.
In this Hadith , Prophet SallaAllahu alaihi Wasallam) prohibit saying: “The Prophet knows what happen tomorrow”
However, later Hadiths those especially in Bukhaari and Muslim, explains that Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam was given the Keys of heavens and earth and all knowledge is from Allah, and Allah gives Wisdom to Whoever He Will. And it is clear from other authentic hadiths from Bukhari and Muslim that Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam was given all knowledge concerning his nation!
Conclusion:
We can see that, Music is allowed in Islam when it is used in religious ceremonies ,marriages, Islamic festivals, Dhikr gatherings etc! We also see that Music is forbidden when it is used to incite lust ,earthly passions and to make attraction between men and women!. Even, we see that those who attack Sufis for using Music during Dhikr (Zikr) , those people (Wahabis/false tawheed groups) use music in their TV channels , for promoting their events and video trailers! They even use Hollywood film clips to promote “End of Time” subject based Dawah programs!.
You can see youtube videos of Peace TV.Huda TV etc using music in their trailers and programs. The false scholars who accuse Sufis for using Music, you can see their Youtube End of Times (Doomsday) Islamic lectures filled with music and hollywood movie clips!
Seek the Sufi Islamic Way, which is the only correct Path without any hypocrisy and double-standard!

Question and Answer on Sufi Hadara (Gathering):
Question from a Sister: I had a question about the hadra practiced in the tariqat
It somewhat resembles the hasidic dance of jews which they practice on some occasions..and we are forbidden to do anything that resembles non muslim faith…
Can u clear this for me….it is bothering my mind
ANSWER:
wa alaikumussalam wa RahmatuAllah wa Barakathu hu Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Many Jewish practices are from the Sunna of the Prophets Israel. We should remember that, when Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam reach Madina , he (alaihiswalathu wa salam) saw Jews fastin on Ashura, and Prophet Alaihiswalathu wa salam commanded Muslims to fast, by saying “we have more right to Musa (alaihissalam) than they.
Sufi Hadra are organised by high eminent shaykhs who are scholars of the religion too.
If dancing look like Hasidic jews and Islam forbid following Jews, why then Muslims wearing the dress of non-Muslims (like Jeans, tie and suite etc)? Doesn’t islam teach Sunnah cloth? Taking bank a/c in non-Muslim Usury banks etc could be serious sin than just dancing!
Salafis wearing scarf on their head, that is a Jewish practice too!. Wearing a plain topi (Hat) on the head is also a Jewish practice, Prophetic Sunnah is to wear a Turban over the cap!. see Sunan Abu Dawud Kitab Libas!. Women Wearing Niqab is also Jewish practice. If you have doubt You can look up google for images!
We do see in Hadith that , the COmpanions of the Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam used to sing and dance moderately in the Mosques and gatherings.
Imitating Jews and Christians does not mean about dancing or eating. We eatin this days as Christians and Jews We growing beard as Jews We covering head as Jews! I mean to say, Jews cover head, usually without a turban. So If Muslim cover head and not wearing a turban, should we call it muslim initiating Jews by not wearing a turban?
We cannot say that, Muslims dancing singing Zikr and Durood, Naat etc
Jews dancing singing what they learned from their religion.
Bollywood sing and dance what they promote in their movie.
All are different context.
Muslims shake their body back and forth while reciting Quran, this is common in South Asia and Africa. this is inherited from Jews? Because the Jews shake their body while reading Torah …
So we can understand that just engaging in outward movement does not make us imitators of other faith.
This is why we differ from Jews in recitation ,or time, or occasion etc.
We should remember that the Food of Ahul Kitab is allowed for us.
Islamic acts are defined by what is Haram and Halal.
Islam is complete 1400 years ago, what is allowed is allowed forever,what is forbidden (haram) is haram forever.. Since dancing existed among Sahaba and thabi’een, and it was not forbidden.
Then what is not allowed or forbidden then, because it was not practiced or existed, such matters are discussed by Mujtahideen (Chief Scholars and Imams) and given verdict through scholarly conscience and analogy.
and finally, nobody ask Fatwa about this types of dance!:
There is a big job ahead of us to prepare ourselves for our SahibulSaif return, so that he is going to return and we are not going to be empty. Just saying, ‘Ohh… I miss you. Ohh…I love you,’ but not doing anything.
So many are saying, ‘Ohh…my life has changed…etc…etc…’ Of course your life has changed, because you are no longer here.
For us, what has changed?
It hasn’t change. It has become more heavy, the work has become a little bit more serious. Of course, we are not looking, you or me, we are not looking like we are the one who is carrying it. It is our Sheykh that is giving us the energy and he is giving us the power and the meded to do this. Anything that is good, is coming from him, from the Holy Prophet (asws), from Allah (swt).
We have work to do. It’s a heavy work. With our Sheykh, we can carry the whole world. Not a problem. Never doubt, never have any suspicion, never have any weakness. We can carry not this world, we can carry thousands of worlds like this with the blessings and with the support of our Sheykh. Nothing else.
If you are looking and you are saying, ‘it’s because of me,’ that time, you are going to be crushed under your own burdens. Crushed under your own sins and other people’s also. Because they are looking at you and they are thinking that you are something.
The Secret of the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Sufi Way (Tarikati Naqshbandiyyathil Aliyya)-Sohbet of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani(Q.S) Sulthanul Awliya of this time.
Auzubillahi Mina Shaitani Rajeem
Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.
Our way is through association and goodness is in the gathering.This is the principle in the Tarikatil Aliyya. The purpose of the association is to educate the mureeds.It is not by the stick, no.
The Shaykhs, Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem,are of two types. There are some of the who are educators and some of them who are leaders.
But the Shaykh of Tarbiyya/educator is much more higher in greatness and power. They know the way, without them they can’t reach and may be mislead themselves and others too!. This exalted tarika need a perfect trainer.To be able to lead the servants of the Lord to the way of Truth. Their number has decreased in these times!.
This means that their appearance is forbidden among the people. They can’t show themselves unless there is permission. They have to have permission to teach and to speak about the hidden matters, general and obvious matters in the tarikatul Aliyya.
We are living in this time.Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, there are 41 tarikas (Sufi Ways) of which 40 of them have closed doors and only one tarikat is open. That is Tarikatu Naqshbandiyyathil Aliyya.
If the Imams of the other Tariqas come, they must ask to be spiritually trained, to be completed by a perfect Shaykh in the Tarikatu Naqshbandiyyathil Aliyya, the exalted Naqshbandi Way. They must know this,if not they will remain at their level.
Mawlana Shaykh, Sulthanul Awliya, whose name is mentioned in the Golden Chain of the Tarikatul Aliyya. He was the last one who carried the greatest secret of the Tarikatu Naqshbandiyyathil Aliyya. He left us and in his place he left someone to continue the tarikatul Awliyya. All the other Tarikas (Sufi Ways) are closed. You understand?, they are closed.They were going downhill, now it is time to go uphill, but they have no power to go up ,except the Naqshbandi Way. They must know this Jama’ath, the shadili and the other tarikas know this, that in our time now the power of locomotive (the power of spiritual guidance and support-tarbiyath) is with Naqshbandi Way, no one else!.
They must know and seek spiritual training. There is no one between east and west either in Shadili way or in other tariqas fit for this matter, because they have reached this point, they have no power left with them (to train the followers to the shaykh-hood and saint hood), they are sitting down, only eating drinking and rejoicing in some Circles of zikr and saying that they are Shadili or Qadiri or Rifai’i or one of the 41 Tariqas. They like to be in this manner, thinking to reach what we reach, but they cannot reach except with a locomotive. They found an easy way to walk, but if it’s like this one going uphill ,what do we do?. Sit here until a locomotive (a powerful supporter/Shaykh of Tarbiyyath) comes or to move them& carry them.
Otherwise it is not possible, They say: “come to us”, we may go to any meetings from any of the tariqas (Sufi ways). They like to sit and make Zikr enjoying the invitation and to claim that their Shaykh was this and and that.
Yes, your Shaykh was like this, but you are not in his foot steps. They became like pressed grapes, they became immersed in this world. We are in a time where there are very few men; there are no more true men left and all the saints have disappeared.
This is what they say,the saints disappeared, they are not appearing.
Thease Jamath they speak but they do not have the secret; the secret of the tarika they do not have it. If the way is easy to walk, when the time comes, like now, to go up, what do you call it?- the shift stick (i.e the gear box like to accelerate the movement to high levels) . I used to sit next to the driver may be for 60 years i never know when they put the gear to first shift, second shift or third.These Jamaths are like that, they do not have a driver, each one tries for himself for what?
With which shaykh did you continue your training? which one of them have permission?
Who is giving you spiritual training? . But they are like the Prophet said: “Who imitate a group of people become one of them” (Hadith) and “People will be resurrected with the one they love” (Hadith)
They love, but they love their Tariqa more than the Tariqatul Aliyya. They remain there. Let them enjoy what they have learnt&finish. But there is no engine that moves for them from east to west.
It is obvious that our Naqshbandi Golden Chain ended with Mawlana Sultanul Awliya Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani (Q.S).
The matter needs seriousness and who put effort and gains. Everything their egos like they give to their ego!. Then they claim we are in this Tarika. Not, it is not this way, you are like someone who are going out for a picnic (coming to the way of tarika sometimes) and leaving the adab of tarikat other time!.
Let them, let one them claim that he is a spiritual trainer. He would like to sit with them,we do not mind. He may give, but they, these Jama’ats (groups) cannot give anything to him. If they take any benefit from him, they are very fortunate, otherwise if he attends with them and they gain nothing, they wasted time.
Shaykh, there are no more Shaykhs. The Saints have disappeared. All the true Shaykhs are the Saints of Allah Almighty Exalted. And they do not need to show themselves and to call people to come to them, no. To visit with brothers and to be together is permitted. no need to stop that. If he likes to visit them, visit them. But if they want to give him (Naqshbandi follower), he (naqshbandi follower) has gold, while they have copper or tin!.
While he(Naqshbandi follower) has gold and diamonds, they have copper or tin. This is a delicate point. And the saints have disappeared. our Shaykh used to say there are 40 in Damascus.
Shaykh Effendi when he was on the way to Umawi Mosque through the Suq Al Hamidiyya they were coming and Shaykh Effendi from the other direction, they used to change direction. They used to fear him, but Shaykh Effendi never affected at all. He was filled fully with True Knowledge. He was not in need, the Saints of Allah are like this. They do not like that their spiritual states to be revealed, never. There is no permission. 40 of them go to Umawi mosque daily some of them sit half an hour, some of the sit one hour, the rest 20 minutes at Sayyiduna Yahya alaihissalam. On our Prophet Salat and Salams. When they said he disappeared, he disappeared, don’t ask about him. Don’t ask about him. Because you do not have the balance to know him,no.
Keep your manner with everyone, so no one can get hold of you. May Allah keep us on the way of Truth (HAQQ). Because we do not want this world. Its finished!. This world is a carcass and those who ask for it are dogs.
We have 1000s of followers. Look, you are a servant and I am a servant (of Allah).There is no more than this. If there is training in good manners, take from everyone, we do not mind but , if there is not, then do not waste time. Do not run away from them, if they ask your or love you to attend with them. Bring them something which make them happy , we do not mind.We do not forbid any person.

Cifia attacking Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani (Q.S) Sultanul Awliya:
Such type of examples articles I found in Wahhabis/Salafis Sky Idols Worshiper’s Book and Speeches.
This post I found on the time line of Maji- Umme Sara so let me share it here.
Before anyone starts commenting negatively on this please understand that as lovers of Wali ALLAH- we are all ORDERED to love those Awliya ALLAH who are ordered to follow the path of the Sunnah….
So- please read this as an informative article and try & gather proof rather than mud-slinging….
1. “The Blasphemers and the believers are equal”
2. “Allah is like Queen of England”
3. “The creation had no beginning, is eternal”
4. “My followers are better than Prophets”
5. “The ways which lead to hell fir are accepted ways by Allah”
6. “Looking to another’s unlawful nakedness (^awrah) is something
good–even obligatory on some.”
7. “Do whatever you want. You will not be punished.”
8. “Prayers are not obligatory on the wives; Do not pray.”
9. “Fasting is not a valued matter; Do not fast.”
10. “Eat unlawful (haram) meat.”
11. “Do not follow the judgment of the sound mind; Be like mindless sheep.”
12. “Blasphemy is a temporary condition; Simply by reciting the Sura
Fatihah anyone is guaranteed safety in the Hereafter.”
13. “Follow your sheikh and do not object to him–even when he
contradicts the Rules of the Religion.”
14. “The orders of shaykh are like orders of Allah.and his will be equivalent to Allah’s will ”
These people are not representatives of Ahlus-sunnah.They say
whatever pleases them(or probably some super power).
REFUTATION OF CIFIA’S ACCUSATIONS AND THEIR FALSE CLAIM TO BE SUNNI!
CIFIA a rowdy online group worse than wahhabis accusing Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (R.A)
Some irresponsible followers might have written something about Mawlana which he did not say!
Islamic Shari’ah clearly states how to follow up when an accusation is made against a scholar/leader of Muslims or even an ordinary believer!
Generally.Shari’ah says one must produce atleast 2 adult witness, and the one who is accused also should be asked about whether the accusation is true!
This filthy CIFIA claims they are up on shari’ah of Islam!, if it is true why they not following this instructions of Shariathu Allah?
Shari’ah only in mouth? not in actions?
CIFIA team never visited Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani!
Very simple logic:
1-Official site of Mawlana is Saltanat.org, they must bring proof from there or from books which is directly written by Mawlana!
2- If Shias wrote down something about Ali R.A which is not true about his life, then you don’t need to attack Ali R.A!
Most Jahil (ignorant) CIFIA admins do not have (intellect) 5 paisa ka budhi!
If shias wrote down something as Ali R.A said which contradict Ahlu Sunna Wa Jamah beliefs then you do not need to say Ali R.A is a blasphemer and false Imam (Naudubillah)!!!!
3- Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani is the Shaykh and Imam of this Tarikat in this times. So if you are truly followers of shari’ah you must go to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Q.S) and ask him for clarification, oh big shari’ah CIAFA!
Because if 72 deviant sects misusing and misguiding people in Quran and hadith, you cannot put the blame on Allah or Prophet Muhammad (Alaihiswalathu wa salam) or even on Islam !
So if some so called followers inventing something into this Tarikat, then you must ask them! and not to say blindly Shaykh Nazim is corrupted or this Tarikat is corroupted!
4- When you take a word from whole talks of shaykh to interpret without taking back and forth, you don’t understand the meaning of what Shaykh said!
If I take Kalimathu Tawheed: la ilaha illa Allah and write an article avoiding “illa Allah” and says Quran says “la ilaha, there is no God”
if that is your munafiq way of understanding Quran, Hadith and religion, then you are from the category of 72 misguided sects! CIFIA Fools!
5-Shaykh Nazim (Q.S) never say my followers are better than Prophets or Sahaba!
When you watch his sohbets on http://www.saltanat.org
you will understand it!
Mawlana always says, we can never be like Prophets or even in the rank and status of his companions (alaihiswalathu wa salam)!
In the video Shaykh Nazim Al-Mahdi and 12 Imams, it is mentioned that: When Shaykh Abdullah Dagestani (Q.S) met Imam Mahdi (A.S), he asked “Oh my master, when you emerge which Madhab you follow?”
Imam Mahdi (A.S) replied: Ya Shaykh Ahmad, all Imams follow us, We are Mujtahidun Mutlaq (Absolute power of Ijthihad) like the Holy Prophet alaihiswalathu wa salam (Imam Mahdi is deputy of Allah)!
So how can Shaykh Nazim (Q.S) say he and his followers are better than Prophets, Sahaba or 12 Imams?
When the Prophet’s name (Peace and Blessings of Allah be up on him), Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani stands up to honour and respect Prophet even though Shaykh is very old and weak!
Saltanat TV is the only official media of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani so take from there!
Not from some so called Khalifas or Murids sites/blog!
CIFA has childish brain in their heads?
6- Shaykh Nazim never said: the way leading to hell fire are accepted by Allah!
Even if Shaykh said that one should take meaning from the attribute of Allah “Ar-Rahman” , Ar-Rahman provide for both believers and unbelievers, to atheists and even to Satan, the Mercy of Allah Ar-Rahman covered entire atom of creation!, including HIV Virus, Plague, Cancer cells all coming to exist by the Qudrath of Ar-Rahman!
7- Shaykh Nazim never said to look at the nakedness of the women!
Looking of the ordinary man is forbidden as it is the looking of the ego to the ego!
But Awliya Allah looks at the heart when they look at a believer!, their looking is Protected!
Awliya Allah sees with the light of Allah (Beware the gaze of a mumin for he sees with the Light of Allah-Hadith)
Learn more about scanning and all before speak non-sense!
Even if you wear full niqab, you cannot hide your reality from Awliya Allah, the are the guide, they can see any dirt you have!
Once Shamsul Ulama Shaykh E.K Abu Bakar Musliar (Q.S), he was a great scholar, Shaykh, once his brother E.K Umar hadi (Q.S) a Wali of Allah left the Salah Jamath in the middle of prayer, lead by his brother E.K ABu Bakar Musliyar!
Later he asked his brother Umar Haji (Q.S), why you left from the prayer during Jamath!
he replied to his brother E.K Abu Bakar Musliyar (Q.S) : That is because you were in blood”!
It was said by him that, while he recite a Quran verse about menstruation in prayer, he was thinking about the shari’ath (laws) of Menstrual period!
So Abu Bakar Musliyar’s mind engaged in thinking about the laws of this matter and all that images which came in his heart was visible to his brother who stand behind and pray, so he left from jama’ath!
What do you know about shari’ath wilayath oh foolish CIFIA ?
8-Shaykh Nazim did not say do whatever you want, he is a shaykh and he is giving clear warnings and instructions through his sohbet, look up Saltanat.org
9- Shaykh says: whoever do not make Sajada to Allah will be destroyed and he even advising Pope to make Sajada to Allah!
Look up Saltanat
10- Shaykh Nazim Al Haqqani teach us to fast according to Sunnah and Shari’ah!
rather than talking rubbish look up Naqshbandi Book of Devotions:
it is available from here to download:http://sufizawiya.wordpress.com/practices/
11- Shaykh teach us to eat only halal food.
Naqshbandi Ottomans do not normally eat even at restaurants due to the issue of doubtful provisions!
Most food and produced in Shaykh’s own house/dergah
only fresh ingredients brought from shops!
Shaykh said: if you have doubt in the food, then recite Bismillah and kalima and blow on to the meat, so that Allah’s blessings and forgiveness may enter on the food you eat!
Quran clearly says this: Islam allows to eat food of Ahlul Kitab (Kosher) as well as what is brought by a hunting Animal (normally dogs are used for hunting)!
It is permitted in Shari’ah, learn shari’ah well before making mockery!
Allah clearly says the forbidden food are those which are made a sacrifice for idols and false gods!, again says if someone eat from it out of compulsion there is no blame on him!
It look like CIA (CIFIA) is the patent holders of Allah’s Shari’ath!
12-and the last accusations are basless!
The orders of shaykh are like orders of Allah.and his will be equivalent to Allah’s will – refuting this accusation below
In a Well known Hadith Rasoolullah says:Bukahri’s Saheeh ,89 Al Ahkam
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever obeys me, obeys Allah, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allah, and whoever obeys the ruler I appoint, obeys me, and whoever disobeys him, disobeys me.”
If CIFIA do not have brain to understand this hadith,they should as well known scholars!
Shah Naqshbandi (Q.S) said: If anyone turn away from our way, you must fear Kufr (disbelief) in him!
Allah says: 4:59 Quran: O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.
so understand and accept both quran and hadith, go and learn basics rather than making false shaitanic dawah!
And Finally this refutation is not for the goodness of the CIFIA Satans!
but for poor low thinking Muslims who can get caught by CIFIA, bilal philips and other 21st century jahiliya scholars and groups!
Wa salam alaikum wa Rahmathu Allahi Wa Barakathu hu
I am here with my identity, I do not need to hide in a fake name and fake profile!
(Jouhar Ali Naqshbandi Al-Hassani) http://www.facebook.com/naqshabendi
Last Point to add:
Do they accept Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (Q.S) , who said about Hazret Mansoor Hallaja, if I would have lived in the time of Hallaja I would have saved his life!
Al-Hallaja was executed by scholars like today’s CIFIA as he said in Fana fillah: Anal haqq (I am the Truth)
Do CIFIA have courage to Make Fatwa against Shaykh Muhyiddin Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani (Q,S) for supporting Al-Hallaha?
If they are one father’s sons, come up!
Why Shari’ah accusation to some shaykhs and not to some other Shaykhs?
Double faced and double standard munafiqs you, oh CIFIA (CIA)?
a year ago they made a lot of fitnah and every year something happening to their head!
Tell them to submit to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and ask his forgiveness!
truly they have attacked Sulthan of Saints!
and it is a serious matter in the sight of Allah
Sulthanul Awliya MAwlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani (Q.S) and Waliyullahi Sahibu Saif Hazret Shaykh Abdul Kerim Al-Kibrisi (Q.S)
Allahumma Swalli Ala Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa’Ala Aali Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa Sallim
Why Naqshbandi Murids Should not eat food that is made ready to eat?
We are living in the second and greater Jahiliya (period of ignorance), where we are seeing worldly scholars selling religion of Allah, rahmath,barakath and the prophetic antiques, to make money and to gain fame!
So what is the conditions of ordinary Muslims in following Islam sincerely, and non-Muslims,when learnt ones become worse among them?
We have only one hope, to love,respect and obey Awliya Allah-those who do not ask any payment from you.
Allah says: 36:21″Follow those who do not ask you for any wage, and are guided
A man asked the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam), “When will the Hour be established O Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) asked, “What have you prepared for it?” The man said, “I haven’t prepared for it much of prayers or fast or alms, but I love Allah and His Apostle.” The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “You will be with those whom you love.” [Bukhari]
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: the messenger of Allah said:
Allah the Almighty has said: “Who soever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I shall be at war with him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have imposed upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.”
related by Bukhari.
On the authority of Al-Hasan bin Ali, the grandson of the messenger of Allah, who said : I memorized from the messenger of Allah his saying : “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.”
narrated by Termithi and Nasaee, and Tirmithi said it is true and fine hadith.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said : the messenger of Allah said :
“Allah the Almighty is good and accepts only that which is good. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which he commanded the messengers, and the Almighty has said: “O ye messengers ! Eat of the good things and do right”. And Allah the Almighty has said : “O ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you”
Then he mentioned [the case of] a man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying] : “O Lord! O Lord!” – while his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered !”

chips use pig fat, search google for the E631 code to find out more,
And now, to learn some more from Quran and Hadith:
Quran 1:7: The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
Quran: 4:59 O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.
Quran 17:80 Say: “O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honour, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honour; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).”
Quran 9:119 “Fear God and accompany Trustworthy people”
So only when you fear Allah and accompany Trustworthy, you are guided, Allah says:
They believe in Unseen and are certain in what they believe, because they see with Light of Allah, hear with Light of Allah, Walk With Light of Allah, Speak with Light of Allah and strike with Light of Allah…
As said in Hadith:
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: the messenger of Allah said:
Allah the Almighty has said: “Who soever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I shall be at war with him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have imposed upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.” Bukhari (in Imam Nawawi’s 40 Hadith) Quran2:2,3,4 This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;
Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them,
And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
And No Hope without following them:
Hadith Prophet (S.A.W) said: “Whosoever dies without recognizing the Imam of his time dies the death of the ignorance (Jahiliyyah).”
Ahmad b. Hanbal, al-Musnad, p. 96.
No Religion without being sincere to them:
Hadith:
On the authority of Tamim Al-Dari that the prophet said: “Religion is sincerity”. We said: “To whom?” He said: “To Allah and His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk”.
narrated by Muslim
No Guidance without following them:
Quran 25:43 Have you seen the one whose god is his own ego? Will you be his advocate?
Quran 45:23 Have you noted the one whose god is his ego? Consequently, God sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes. Who then can guide him, after such a decision by God? Would you not take heed?
Quran 2:208 O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
FOLLOW THOSE WHO ARE UP ON IHSAAN,THOSE WHO SEES WITH THE LIGHT OF ALLAH AND BLESSED WITH SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE:
Hadith: he said, “Now tell me about the perfection of faith (ihsan),” and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: “It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you see Him not, He nevertheless sees you.”
“Do you know, ‘Umar, who was the questioner?” and I replied, “Allah and His messenger know best.” He said,
“It was Gabriel, who came to you to teach you your religion” (Sahih Muslim, 1.37: hadith 8).
Must Watch:
‘Ali ibn Abi Talib said, “The Prophet led us in praying Salat al-Fajr (the morning prayer). When he had finished, a man called to him: ‘When will the Hour be? The Prophet reprimanded him and said ‘Be quiet!’ After a while he raised his eyes to the sky and said, ‘Glorified be the One Who raised it and is taking care of it.’ Then he lowered his gaze to the earth and said, ‘Glory be to the One Who has outspread it and has created it.’ Then the Prophet said, ‘Where is the one who asked me about the Hour?’ The man knelt down and said, ‘I asked you.’ The Prophet said, ‘The Hour will come when leaders are oppressors, when people believe in the stars and reject al-qadar (the Divine Decree of destiny) when a trust becomes a way of making a profit, when people give to charity (sadaqah) reluctantly, when adultery becomes widespread – when this happens, then your people will perish.’ ”
Just accept that you are ignorant and your book knowledge and robotic knowledge is not sufficient to reach the high levels of faith and to understand right and wrong in day to day life!!!
Just as I acknowledge myself as a weak,ignorant and illiterate!
Real literacy is the ability of heart to see the truth and false hood.
Only Awliya Allah are literate, rest and ignorant including myself, I can only speak and do what is inspired to my heart by Shaykhs. I am not claiming to be anything!, I can’t even take take anyone’s instruction but i am only able to do what is coming from Shaykh,
that is the true baya (allegiance) to exchange/to loan ourself and Allah will multiply it for us (Sura Al Bakara)
Follow the righteous creed of main group of Muslims who have accepted Islam,Iman and Ihsan
Islam+Iman+Ihsan=Religion of Allah.
Islam+0+0=Religion of Ego
Islam+Iman+0=Religion of Ego
0+0+Ihsan=Religion of Ego
0+Iman+Ihsan=Religion of Ego
‘Umar ibn al-Khattab said:
As we sat one day with the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), a man in pure white clothing and jet black hair came to us, without a trace of travelling upon him, though none of us knew him.
He sat down before the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) bracing his knees against his, resting his hands on his legs, and said: “Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: “Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and to perform the prayer, give zakat, fast in Ramadan, and perform the pilgrimage to the House if you can find a way.”
He said: “You have spoken the truth,” and we were surprised that he should ask and then confirm the answer. Then he said: “Tell me about true faith (iman),” and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: “It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His inspired Books, His messengers, the Last Day, and in destiny, its good and evil.”
“You have spoken the truth,” he said, “Now tell me about the perfection of faith (ihsan),” and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: “It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you see Him not, He nevertheless sees you.”
He said: “Now tell me about the Hour.” The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) answered: “The one who is asked about it does knows no more than the questioner.”
He said: “Then tell me about its signs.” The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace answered: “That a slave girl shall give birth to her mistress, and that you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds vying to build tall buildings.”
Then the visitor left. I waited a long while, and the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said to me, “Do you know, ‘Umar, who was the questioner?” and I replied, “Allah and His messenger know best.” He said,
“It was Gabriel, who came to you to teach you your religion” (Sahih Muslim, 1.37: hadith 8).
Allah says: To Enter in Islam,Iman and Ihsan completely:
2:208 O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
To follow the spiritual aid (the way of Righteous Imams) in the way of Truth:
1:7: The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
4:59 O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.
17:80 Say: “O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honour, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honour; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me).”
To Abandon scholars and leaders who are without Imams and are following their ego:
Quran 25:43 Have you seen the one whose god is his own ego? Will you be his advocate?
Quran 45:23 Have you noted the one whose god is his ego? Consequently, God sends him astray, despite his knowledge, seals his hearing and his mind, and places a veil on his eyes. Who then can guide him, after such a decision by God? Would you not take heed?
And to follow the Truthful Imams:
يَوْمَ نَدْعُواْ كُلَّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَـمِهِمْ
17:71 And remember) the Day when We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imam), which is that it refers to the Book (or record) of their deeds. This was also the view of Abu Al-`Aliyah, Al-Hasan and Ad-Dahhak. This view is the most correct, because Allah says:
وَكُلَّ شىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـهُ فِى إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book Fi Imamin Mubin 36:12
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir-A Salafi Tafsir)
“Fear God and accompany Trustworthy people” [9:119]
So only when you fear Allah and accompany Trustworthy, you are guided, Allah says:
Quran 2:2 This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah;
Prophet (S.A.W) said: “Whosoever dies without recognizing the Imam of his time dies the death of the ignorance (Jahiliyyah).”
Ahmad b. Hanbal, al-Musnad, p. 96.
They are the inheritors of Pure Tawheed:
Quran 3:18 There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise
To be sincere to the leaders of the Muslims (righteous Imams-Ulool ilm 3:18 and righteous in authority-4:59) and their folk:
On the authority of Tamim Al-Dari that the prophet said:
“Religion is sincerity”. We said: “To whom?” He said: “To Allah and His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk”.
narrated by Muslim
And to Obey,Love and Respect Awliya Allah:
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: the messenger of Allah said:
Allah the Almighty has said: “Who soever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I shall be at war with him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have imposed upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.”

Prophet (s.a.w) said: Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Ahmad & Abu Dawood)
“You will imitate the nations before you very closely to the extent that if they went into a lizard’s hole, you would enter it as well” his companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, inquired: “(Do you mean) the Jews and Christians, O Messenger of Allaah?” Hesallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied: “Who else?” (Bukhaari & Muslim).
The Prophet (S.A.W) said: “The Day of Judgment will not come until my Nation closely imitates the nations before them.” It was asked: “Like the Persians and Romans, Messenger of Allaah?” He sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied:”Who are the nations (I could mean) except those?” (Bukhaari).
