month of Ramadan 1411 following my shahadat an la ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadun Rasulullah. There, I took Mawlana's noble hand for the first time and made bay'a after having been introduced to Tariqa by his son-in-law and American deputy, Shaykh Hisham Kabbani - may Allah guide him and all Mawlana's friends! I visited Mawlana several times in his home in Cyprus and saw him in Damascus as well. Among the gifts of suhba Mawlana gave were the last two weeks of Rajab in the year 1422 - October 2001 - in his house and zawiya in the Turkish Cypriot town of Lefke. A memento of this experience was written in Arabic and English and published under the title Qubrus al-Tarab fi Suhbati Rajab or The Joy of Cyprus in the Association of Rajab. At that time and also later, during his last two trips to the US, in England, Cyprus, and Damascus, I took from Mawlana the same great directive for every seeker of truth: OUR GOAL IS THE DEFENSE AND ILLUSTRATION OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND HIS LOFTY ATTRIBUTES, upon him and his House and Companions blessings and peace; to which Allah support us! I understood from this that the true Murid in the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Tariqa is the friend and helper of every defender of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) and it is his duty to associate with such defenders because they are on Mawlana's path whether they are Naqshbandi or not. When the octogenarian Friend of Allah in Johore, Malaysia, al-Habib 'Ali ibn Ja'far ibn 'Abd Allah al-'Aydarus received us in his home in May 2003, wearing clothes that had not changed since the 1940s, he looked like Mawlana in all respects and even seemed to mimick him when he said to pardon his broken Arabic. To our begging his du'a for our injured lands and people he replied, "The Umma is protected and in

good hands and you have in Shaykh Nazim Sufficiency!" Thus has it been for the humble murid of Mawlana in every encounter with the Awliya' of this Umma. They invariably show the highest respect and most fearsome humbleness to Mawlana and his silsila even when they are ostensibly on a different path such as al-Habib 'Ali al-'Aydarus in Malaysia; Sayyid Muhammad ibn 'Alawi al-Maliki in Makka; al-Habib 'Umar ibn Hafiz of Tarim; Sayyid Yusuf al-Rifa'i of Kuwait; Shaykh 'Isa al-Himyari in Dubai; Sayyid 'Afif al-Din al-Jilani and Shaykh Bakr al- Samarra'i of Baghdad; al-Sharif Mustafa ibn al-Sayyid Ibrahim al-Basir in central Morocco; the Grandmufti of Syria Shaykh Ahmad Kuftaro ibn Mawlana al-Shaykh Amin and his friends Shaykh Bashir al-Bani, Shaykh Rajab Dib, and Shaykh Ramazan Dib; the Kattani Shuyukh of Damascus; the late Shaykh 'Abd Allah Siraj al-Din and his nephew Dr. Nur al-Din 'Itr; Mawlana al-Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghuri; Dr. Samer al- Nass; and the remainder of our teachers and brethren in Damascus - may Allah always protect her and have mercy on them and us! I have met each of the above-named except for Shaykh Siraj al-Din and they all invoked tarazzi on Mawlana al- Shaykh Nazim, expressing belief in the loftiness of his wilaya and asking for his du'a or that of his followers; "And Allah suffices as Witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" (48:28-29). It is an agreed-upon rule among the Men of Allah that multiplicity of paths is the theme (dandana) of the unconnected while those that are mawsul are all on one path and in one circle and they know each other and love one another. They will be on pulpits of light on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, we Murids of those respective paths must also know and love one another for the sake of Allah and His Prophet and His friends so that we may enter that blessed light and belong in the highest circle of suhba and jama'a away from furqa and arrogance. As Allah Most High said: "O Believers! Beware of Allah and keep [company and loyalty] with the Truthful ones!" and our Holy Prophet said (s): "I charge you with following my Companions then those that follow them then those that follow; after that, lying will spread... But you must keep to the Jama'a and beware of separation!" This Jama'a is described in the mutawatir hadith: "He for whom Allah desires great good, He grants him true understanding in the Religion. I only distribute and it is Allah Who gives! That group shall remain in charge of the Order of Allah, unharmed by those who oppose them, until the coming of the Order of Allah." O Allah, make us thankful forever for what You gave and Your Rasul and Habib distributed!

I heard Mawlana Shaykh Nazim say many times on behalf of his teacher, Sultan al-Awliya' Mawlana al- Shaykh 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad 'Ali ibn Husayn al-Fa'iz al-Daghistani thumma al-Shami al-Salihi (ca.1294-1393),1 - from Shaykh Sharaf al-Din Zayn al-'Abidin al-Daghistani al- Rashadi (d. 1354), - from his maternal uncle Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Madani al- Daghistani al-Rashadi,2 - from Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abu Ahmad Hajj 'Abd al-Rahman Effendi al-Daghistani al-Thughuri (d. 1299),3 - from Shaykh Jamal al-Din Effendi al-Ghazi al-Ghumuqi al-Husayni (d. 1292),4 - also (both al-Thughuri and al-Ghumuqi) from Muhammad Effendi ibn Ishaq al-Yaraghi al-Kawrali (d. 1260),5 - from Khass Muhammad Effendi al- Shirwani al-Daghistani (d. 1254),6 - from Shaykh Diya' al-Din Isma'il Effendi Dhabih Allah al-Qafqazi al- Shirwani al-Kurdamiri al-Daghistani (d. ?) - from Shaykh Isma'il al-Anarani (d. 1242), - from Mawlana Diya' al-Din Khalid Dhul-Janahayn ibn Ahmad ibn Husayn al-Shahrazuri al-Sulaymani al-Baghdadi al-Dimashqi al- Naqshbandi al-'Uthmani ibn 'Uthman ibn 'Affan Dhul-Nurayn (1190-1242) with his well-known chain up to Shah Naqshband Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Uwaysi al-Bukhari who said: "Our Tariqa is companionship and goodness is in the group!" Allah be well-pleased with them, have mercy on them, reward them, and benefit us with them through our ears, our hearts and our entire beings, Amin! Certain would-be Sufi critics of the Haqqani Tariqa expressed criticism of our path for what they term "lack of knowledge." A prudent Sufi would be the last person to utter such deluded criticism! They should be the first of people to know that knowledge by itself is not only useless but may be a mortal trap that leads to Satanic pride. Neither the proud nor the ignorant are excused; yet the loving, sincere, and repentent Sufi who suffers even severe gaps in his knowledge and adab is closer to Allah Most High and to knowledge of Allah than the knowledgeable Sufi who harbors a speck of pride in his heart. May Allah protect you and us! Ibrahim al-Khawwass said knowledge is not to know much but to obey the Sunna and practice what one knows even if a little. Imam Malik said knowledge is not to know many things but is a light Allah casts in the heart. Imam al-Shafi'i said knowledge is not to know proofs but to know what is beneficial. And when someone said of Ma'ruf al-Karkhi, "He is not very knowledgeable," Imam Ahmad said: " Mah! Allah forgive you! Is anything meant by Knowledge other than what Ma'ruf attained?!"

Other critics object to Rabita or "connection," a particular characteristic of the Naqshbandi Tariqa. More precisely, they object to the element of tasawwur or "picturing" in Rabita which requires of the Murid to picture the image of the Shaykh in the heart at the beginning and during dhikr. But Allah Most High said, "Truly in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example" (33:21) and He said to "enter the houses through their doors" (2:189) and so we come to the Prophet (s) through the Siddiq (may Allah be well pleased with him) , and to the latter through Salman (may Allah be well pleased with him) , and to the latter through Qasim (may Allah be well pleased with him) , and to the latter through the Sayyid (may Allah be well pleased with him) , etc. Since "the Ulema are the inheritors of the Prophets" it follows that the Murshid is our example of that example. He must be one of those of whom the Prophet said (s): "When you see them, you remember Allah!" This is narrated from Ibn 'Abbas, Asma' bint Zayd, and Anas (may Allah be well pleased with them) , and also from the Tabi'in Sa'id ibn Jubayr, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanam, and Muslim ibn Subayh. Some even object to the Murid's self-effacement in the Shaykh or fana' fil-Shaykh. They say, "Your Shaykh is just a man; let your fana' be in Rasulullah!" But it is false that the guiding Shaykh is just like any other. Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi said - Allah sanctify his soul: Know that wayfaring (suluk) in this Most Distinguished Path is by connection (rabita) and love for the Shaykh we follow. Such a Shaykh trod this Path steadfastly and was dyed (insabagha) with all kinds of perfections through the strength of Divine attraction (jadhba). His gaze cures the diseases of the heart and his Concentration (tawajjuh) lifts away spiritual defects. The owner of these perfections is the Imam of the period and the Khalifa of that time.... Thus our connection is love and our relationship (nisba) is mirroring and dyeing regardless of being near or far. Then the murid gets dyed in this Path by the connection of love for the Shaykh, hour by hour, and gets enlightened through the reflection of his lights. In this pattern, knowledge of the process is not a precondition for the giving or receiving of benefit. The watermelon ripens through the heat of the sun hour by hour and warms with the passage of days. It matures, yet what knowledge does it have of this? Does the sun even know that it ripens and warms it? As mentioned above, objecting to fana' fil-Shaykh is also like Objecting to love of the Shaykh. We aim to love our Shaykh and know that he is the worthiest object of love and respect in this world. As the poet said: Out of pure and sincere faithfulness to you I say:

Love of you is written inside my heart of hearts, a patent engraving [NAQSH], an ancient writ. Nor do I have any will [IRADA] except your love, Nor can I say anything to you but that I love you. On this topic Mawlana said recently: "We have been ordered to love holy people. These are the Prophets and, after Prophets, their inheritors, the Awliya'. We have been ordered to believe in Prophets and belief gives us Love. Love makes people to follow that beloved one. ITTIBA' means to love and follow while ITAAT means [only] to follow. An obedient person may be obedient by force or by love but not always by love. "Now, Allah Almighty is asking for His servants to love Him. And servants can't reach directly to love of their Lord. Therefore, Allah Almighty sends, on behalf of Himself, Prophets that represent Him among His servants. And everyone that loves Awliya and Anbiya, through Awliya are reaching love of Prophets. And through love of Prophets you are reaching to love of Allah Almighty. "Therefore, without love, a person can't be a beloved one in the Divine presence. If you are not giving your love, how does Allah Almighty love you? "But people that are like wood, dry, dry wood, are denying love. They are such dry ones - no life! A tree, with love, is opening through spring time. But dry ones, even if seventy springs came on them, never open. Love makes nature open and give its fruits, its beauty to people. Without love, it should never be opening, never flowering, never giving its fruits. "So love IS the most important pillar for faith. No love, no faith. I may speak on it up to next year, but you must understand, from a drop, an ocean!" (This is the end of Mawlana's talk.) By Mawlana, Allah has made all difficult things easy. We are grateful to know him because he is our shortcut to the nur in this Religion. This nur is the goal of every sane person. It is described in the magnificent verse "He gives wisdom unto whom He will, and he unto whom wisdom is given, he truly has received abundant good! But none remember except people of understanding" (2:269). May Allah grant us this wisdom and keep us on the path He commands and loves for us! May Allah grant Mawlana long life in health and grant us the rank of his true discipleship for the sake of the Most Honored Prophet Muhammad!

Damascus, 12 Rabi' al-Awwal 1425. Dr. G.F. Haddad (http://sultanulawliya.blogspot.com) -- Notes 1 There is a variety of opinions over Mawlana al-Shaykh 'Abd Allah's date of birth ranging from 1284 (in Muhammad Darniqa's al-Tariqa al-Naqshbandiyya) to 1294 according to Shaykh 'Abd Allah's oldest student Mawlana al-Shaykh Husayn (in Muhammad 'Ali ibn al-Shaykh Husayn 'Ali, al-Tariqat al-Naqshbandiyya al- Khalidiyya al-Daghistaniyya) to 1303 in Shaykh 'Adnan Kabbani's al-Futuhat al- Haqqaniyya to 1309 in Shaykh Hisham Kabbani's The Naqshbandi Sufi Way. 2 He also received the Qadiri Tariqa from Shaykh Ibrahim al-Qadiri (as did Shaykh Jamal al-Din) with whom he began his suluk until Shaykh Ibrahim directed him to Shaykh al-Thughuri cf. 'Ali, Tariqa Naqshbandiyya (p. 229). 3 Cf. Shu'ayb ibn Idris al-Bakini, Hadaya al-Zaman fi Tabaqat al-Khwajagan al- Naqshbandiyya (p. 375). He also took directly from al-Yaraghi cf. Ilyas al-Zadqari, Sullam al-Wusul as quoted in Hadaya (p. 378 n.). 4 Cf. al-Bakini, Hadaya (p. 396). He received the Qadiri Tariqa from Shaykh Ibrahim al-Qadiri and introduced the loud dhikr into the Daghistani branch of the Naqshbandiyya through that authorization cf. al- Bakini, Hadaya (p. 396); 'Ali, Tariqa Naqshbandiyya (p. 229). 5 And not 1254 as erroneously mentioned in several sources. The correction is thanks to 'Ali, Tariqa Naqshbandiyya (p. 214). Muhammad al-Yaraghi also took directly from Shaykh Isma'il al-Shirwani cf. al-Bakini, Hadaya (p. 350-351). 6 From present-day Shirvan in Azerbaijan. He died in Damascus and is buried in Mount Qasyoun next to Mawlana Khalid and Mawlana Isma'il al-Anarani who is Mawlana Khalid's first successor who died seventeen days after the death of Mawlana Khalid, both of them from the plague - may

Allah have mercy on them and all His shuhada'.
From Wikipedia:Nazim_Al-Haqqani At a very young age, Nazim displayed unexplained talents in the form of explaining to his teachers what they were going to teach before it was introduced.[3] After completing secondary school in 1940, at the age of 18 Nazim moved to Istanbul, where two brothers and a sister were living. He studied chemical engineering at Istanbul University. While advancing in his non-religious studies, Nazim continued his education in Islamic theology and the Arabic language under the tutelage of Cemalettin Elassonli (d. 1955 CE). Nazim received a degree in chemical engineering, yet he would later state, "I felt no attraction to modern science. Rather, my heart was always drawn to the spiritual sciences." He is fluent in Turkish (native), Arabic, English, and Greek. At some point during his first year of life in Istanbul, Nazim met his first spiritual guide, Suleyman Erzurumi (d. 1948), who was a murshid in the Naqshbandi Order. Nazim attended the gatherings of this particular shaykh which were held in the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Here he learned the basic spiritual methods of the Naqshbandi Order, in addition to those of the Qadiri and the Mevlevi. His focus on spirituality was further reinforced by the unexpected death of an elder brother who died serving as a doctor in World War II. Shortly after obtaining his degree, Nazim received inspiration to go to Damascus in order to find the famed Naqshbandi master, Abdullah al-Fa'izi ad-Daghestani. He obtained permission from Shaykh Erzurumi to leave Istanbul and in 1944 he arrived in Syria, although the unrest caused by the Vichy French government prevented his entry into Damascus until 1945. Upon meeting with the master, whose tekke is located on the slopes of the Jabal Qasyoun, Nazim took his hand in bay'ah, or initiation. Shortly thereafter Abdullah Daghestani ordered Nazim to return to his native Cyprus to deliver spiritual guidance. Abdullah also reportedly conferred the title of "Shaykh" to Nazim, thus giving him the legitimacy to speak on behalf of the Naqshbandi Order. While in Cyprus, Nazim came into conflict with pro-Atatürk governing body of the Turkish community of the

island. His repeated act of making the adhan in Arabic rather than the prescribed Turkish brought several lawsuits against him and there were some 114 cases lodged against him for crimes against the secular order. Nevertheless all these were dropped shortly thereafter with the coming to power of Adnan Menderes in Turkey, whose government opted for a more tolerant approach to Islamic traditions. Nazim moved back to Damascus in 1952, when he was wed to the daughter of one of the murids of Abdullah Daghestani, Amina Adil, whose family came to settle in Syria after fleeing Soviet rule of their native Kazan. From that time, Nazim took up residence in Damascus, and every year he would visit Cyprus for at least three months. The couple have two daughters and two sons. Worldwide mission work In the year following the death of Abdullah Fa'izi ad-Daghestani in 1973, Nazim began visiting Western Europe, travelling every year from the Middle East to London. On his return trips to Damascus, he would often drive by car through the former Yugoslavia, spending time visiting the Muslim communities there. It became his practice to spend the month of Ramadan in the large centre established in London. In 2000 this practice was discontinued. In 1997, Nazim visited Daghestan, the homeland of his murshid, Abdullah Fa'izi ad-Daghestani. He also made repeated visits to Uzbekistan were he made the pilgrimage to the tomb of the eponymous founder of the Naqshbandi Order, Shah Baha'uddin Naqshband. In 1991, Nazim visited the United States for the first time. At that time Nazim made the first of four nationwide tours, during the course of which he brought several hundred individuals into the fold of Islam. In 1996, Nazim was guest of honour at the First International Islamic Unity Conference. Over 8,000 people attended this conference, which included major Islamic scholars from around the world and whose theme focused on Islamic spirituality. While in the United States, Nazim gave widely attended speeches and associations and dhikr gatherings in a number of venues, including churches, temples, universities, mosques and New Age centres. In 1998, Nazim was again chief guest of honour at the Second International Islamic Unity Conference, held in

Washington DC. Attended by over 6000 people, the highlight of this conference was the ringing denunciation of terrorism by Nazim to the 160 Islamic scholars and VIPs from around the world, including the current Grand Mufti of Egypt, Grand Muftis of Russia and neighbouring nations and dignitaries from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Middle East and Africa. Later in 1998, Nazim traveled to South Africa, accompanied by a large contingent of students from around the globe. There he visited Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, in each city giving lectures in mosques filled to capacity. In 2001, Nazim, made the 2001 "Naqshbandi-Haqqani Eastern World Tour of the Muslim World", starting in Uzbekistan, from where he then travelled to Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. In the course of this journey, Nazim met with people of all walks of life, from the highest dignitaries and leaders to the common folk. The Shaykh, despite his advanced age, was able to maintain an incredibly hectic schedule of meetings, speeches, dhikr gatherings and spiritual gatherings with little or no rest for a period of forty days and covering a distance of over 15,000 miles. Nazim made his last trip to the United States in 2000, during which he was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on Religion and Spirituality. Sheikh Nazim's Dergah Nazim has had close relations with several notable politicians, notably the late president of Turkey, Turgut Ozal, as well as the ex Turkish Cypriot leader, Rauf Denktas. During his travels in Southeast Asia he gave his spiritual blessings to His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei. His Highness Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X of Yogyakarta and several members of Malaysia's royal families, including His Highness Prince Raja Dato' Seri Ashman Shah have taken initiation into the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Order at his hand. He also traveled on numerous occasions to India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka where he has been received with great fanfare. In the late 1990s he visited South Africa where he established contacts with the Sunni Muslim community. Nazim has made the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) some 27 times. Nazim rarely travels abroad nowadays. As of 2010 he mainly resides in his family home and spiritual dergah in the town of Lefka, Northern Cyprus, where he is still visited by hundreds of murids each week.

"Die Menschen im Westen brauchen Licht" - Über Scheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil al- Haqqani al-Qubrusi an-Naqschbandi Scheich Nazim wurde 1922 in Larnaca (Zypern) geboren. Seine völlige Hinwendung zum Geistigen erfolgte während seines Chemiestudiums in Istanbul, als ein schwerwiegendes Ereignis sein Leben veränderte: Sein Bruder, der an Tuberkulose gelitten hatte, starb in seinen Armen. Die Begrenztheit von Medizin, Naturwissenschaft und des weltlichen Lebens überhaupt wurde ihm hierdurch deutlich, und er machte sich auf seine spirituelle Reise. Der erste Schritt war ein einjähriger Rückzug in Aleppo, Syrien, den er betend in einem Keller verbrachte, wobei er täglich sieben Oliven aß. Nach einem Jahr sagte ihm der dortige Scheich, seine spirituelle Stufe sei nun so hoch, dass ihm nur noch ein Mensch weiterhelfen könne: Scheich Abdullah Daghestani in Damaskus. Scheich Nazim machte sich sofort auf den Weg zu ihm, und er hatte nur einen Wunsch: Er wollte Scheich Abdullah um die Erlaubnis bitten, sein restliches Leben im Rückzug zu verbringen, und zwar in Medina, am Grabe des heiligen Propheten Mohammad, auf dem der Friede sei. Dieser Wunsch sollte vorerst unerfüllt bleiben: "Es ist Endzeit", so wurde ihm gesagt, "und die Menschen im Westen brauchen jemanden, der ihren Herzen Licht gibt und sie aus der Dunkelheit führt." 1972 verschied Scheich Abdullah.

Scheich Nazim ging zunächst nach Zypern und dann nach London, wo er seit 1974 den Fastenmonat Ramadan verbringt. Während seiner Europa- und Amerika-Besuche ist er stets von einer ständig wachsenden Zahl von Besuchern, Schülern und Ratsuchenden umringt, die er als Seelsorger, Therapeut und geistiger Vater betreut, mit denen er betet, die er tröstet, heilt und berät. Im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte wurde Scheich Nazim - der wegen seiner Wahrhaftigkeit auch den Ehrentitel 'al Haqqani' trägt - zu einem der wichtigsten geistigen Führer unserer Zeit. Sein Einfluß nimmt sowohl im Westen als auch in den traditionell muslimischen Gebieten ständig zu - ein erstaunliches Phänomen. Er ist der 40. Scheich der Naqschbandiya, eines Sufi-Ordens, der mit dem Propheten Mohammad, auf dem der Friede sei, seinen Anfang nahm. Nach Auffassung der Sufis empfing der Prophet göttliches Wissen, das er - von Herz zu Herz - an seine geistigen Nachfolger weitergab. Wie alle Religionen hat auch der Islam einen inneren Weg, durch den er sich über die Jahrhunderte immer wieder erneuern und beleben konnte. Die Sufis waren es, die ihn davor bewahrten, in einem System von Dogmen und äußeren Regeln zu erstarren. Da sie ihr Leben der spirituellen Vervollkommnung widmeten, waren sie dazu imstande, die Lehre zu leben. Scheich Nazims Vorträge bilden kein geschlossenes 'System'. Es sind vielmehr Lehrgespräche und Stellungnahmen zu den verschiedensten Zeit-Themen und Zeit-Krankheiten: Vereinzelung, Beziehungsunfähigkeit, Depression, Sexualität, Frauenrechte, Altern, Umwelt, Menschenrechte. Sie entstanden in den verschiedensten Orten und zu den verschiedensten Gelegenheiten: im Zentrum für Einheit (Schweibenalp) in der Schweiz, in der ältesten Waldorf-Schule Deutschlands in Bochum, vor einer Gruppe von Heilpraktikern in London, an der Universität Oxford, in einem Buddhistentempel in Spanien, in einem Bistro bei Barcelona... Die Mehrzahl seiner Zuhörer sind Suchende, die durch das Zusammensein mit ihm Kraft für den geistigen Weg schöpfen. Er gibt in seinen Vorträgen Anweisungen für Gebetsübungen, zitiert aus dem Quran und erzählt aus seinem Leben.

There, I took Mawlana's noble hand for the first time and made bay'a after having been introduced to Tariqa by his son-in-law and American deputy, Shaykh Hisham Kabbani - may Allah guide him and all Mawlana's friends! I visited Mawlana several times in his home in Cyprus and saw him in Damascus as well. Among the gifts of suhba Mawlana gave were the last two weeks of Rajab in the year 1422 - October 2001 - in his house and zawiya in the Turkish Cypriot town of Lefke.

They invariably show the highest respect and most fearsome humbleness to Mawlana and his silsila even when they are ostensibly on a different path such as al-Habib 'Ali al-'Aydarus in Malaysia; Sayyid Muhammad ibn 'Alawi al-Maliki in Makka; al-Habib 'Umar ibn Hafiz of Tarim; Sayyid Yusuf al-Rifa'i of Kuwait; Shaykh 'Isa al-Himyari in Dubai; Sayyid 'Afif al-Din al-Jilani and Shaykh Bakr al- Samarra'i of Baghdad; al-Sharif Mustafa ibn al-Sayyid Ibrahim al-Basir in central Morocco; the Grandmufti of Syria Shaykh Ahmad Kuftaro ibn Mawlana al-Shaykh Amin and his friends Shaykh Bashir al-Bani, Shaykh Rajab Dib, and Shaykh Ramazan Dib; the Kattani Shuyukh of Damascus; the late Shaykh 'Abd Allah Siraj al-Din and his nephew Dr. Nur al-Din 'Itr; Mawlana al-Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghuri; Dr. Samer al- Nass; and the remainder of our teachers and brethren in Damascus - may Allah always protect her and have mercy on them and us! I have met each of the above-named except for Shaykh Siraj al-Din and they all invoked tarazzi on Mawlana al- Shaykh Nazim, expressing belief in the loftiness of his wilaya and asking for his du'a or that of his followers; "And Allah suffices as Witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" (48:28-29). It is an agreed-upon rule among the Men of Allah that multiplicity of paths is the theme (dandana) of the unconnected while those that are mawsul are all on one path and in one circle and they know each other and love one another. They will be on pulpits of light on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, we Murids of those respective paths must also know and love one another for the sake of Allah and His Prophet and His friends so that we may enter that blessed light and belong in the highest circle of suhba and jama'a away from furqa and arrogance. As Allah Most High said: "O Believers! Beware of Allah and keep [company and loyalty] with the Truthful ones!" and our Holy Prophet said (s): "I charge you with following my Companions then those that follow them then those that follow; after that, lying will spread... But you must keep to the Jama'a and beware of separation!" This Jama'a is described in the mutawatir hadith: "He for whom Allah desires great good, He grants him true understanding in the Religion. I only distribute and it is Allah Who gives! That group shall remain in charge of the Order of Allah, unharmed by those who oppose them, until the coming of the Order of Allah." O Allah, make us thankful forever for what You gave and Your Rasul and Habib distributed!

I heard Mawlana Shaykh Nazim say many times on behalf of his teacher, Sultan al-Awliya' Mawlana al- Shaykh 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad 'Ali ibn Husayn al-Fa'iz al-Daghistani thumma al-Shami al-Salihi (ca.1294-1393),1 - from Shaykh Sharaf al-Din Zayn al-'Abidin al-Daghistani al- Rashadi (d. 1354), - from his maternal uncle Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Madani al- Daghistani al-Rashadi,2 - from Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abu Ahmad Hajj 'Abd al-Rahman Effendi al-Daghistani al-Thughuri (d. 1299),3 - from Shaykh Jamal al-Din Effendi al-Ghazi al-Ghumuqi al-Husayni (d. 1292),4 - also (both al-Thughuri and al-Ghumuqi) from Muhammad Effendi ibn Ishaq al-Yaraghi al-Kawrali (d. 1260),5 - from Khass Muhammad Effendi al- Shirwani al-Daghistani (d. 1254),6 - from Shaykh Diya' al-Din Isma'il Effendi Dhabih Allah al-Qafqazi al- Shirwani al-Kurdamiri al-Daghistani (d. ?) - from Shaykh Isma'il al-Anarani (d. 1242), - from Mawlana Diya' al-Din Khalid Dhul-Janahayn ibn Ahmad ibn Husayn al-Shahrazuri al-Sulaymani al-Baghdadi al-Dimashqi al- Naqshbandi al-'Uthmani ibn 'Uthman ibn 'Affan Dhul-Nurayn (1190-1242) with his well-known chain up to Shah Naqshband Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Uwaysi al-Bukhari who said: "Our Tariqa is companionship and goodness is in the group!" Allah be well-pleased with them, have mercy on them, reward them, and benefit us with them through our ears, our hearts and our entire beings, Amin! Certain would-be Sufi critics of the Haqqani Tariqa expressed criticism of our path for what they term "lack of knowledge." A prudent Sufi would be the last person to utter such deluded criticism! They should be the first of people to know that knowledge by itself is not only useless but may be a mortal trap that leads to Satanic pride. Neither the proud nor the ignorant are excused; yet the loving, sincere, and repentent Sufi who suffers even severe gaps in his knowledge and adab is closer to Allah Most High and to knowledge of Allah than the knowledgeable Sufi who harbors a speck of pride in his heart. May Allah protect you and us! Ibrahim al-Khawwass said knowledge is not to know much but to obey the Sunna and practice what one knows even if a little. Imam Malik said knowledge is not to know many things but is a light Allah casts in the heart. Imam al-Shafi'i said knowledge is not to know proofs but to know what is beneficial. And when someone said of Ma'ruf al-Karkhi, "He is not very knowledgeable," Imam Ahmad said: " Mah! Allah forgive you! Is anything meant by Knowledge other than what Ma'ruf attained?!"

Other critics object to Rabita or "connection," a particular characteristic of the Naqshbandi Tariqa. More precisely, they object to the element of tasawwur or "picturing" in Rabita which requires of the Murid to picture the image of the Shaykh in the heart at the beginning and during dhikr. But Allah Most High said, "Truly in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example" (33:21) and He said to "enter the houses through their doors" (2:189) and so we come to the Prophet (s) through the Siddiq (may Allah be well pleased with him) , and to the latter through Salman (may Allah be well pleased with him) , and to the latter through Qasim (may Allah be well pleased with him) , and to the latter through the Sayyid (may Allah be well pleased with him) , etc. Since "the Ulema are the inheritors of the Prophets" it follows that the Murshid is our example of that example. He must be one of those of whom the Prophet said (s): "When you see them, you remember Allah!" This is narrated from Ibn 'Abbas, Asma' bint Zayd, and Anas (may Allah be well pleased with them) , and also from the Tabi'in Sa'id ibn Jubayr, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanam, and Muslim ibn Subayh. Some even object to the Murid's self-effacement in the Shaykh or fana' fil-Shaykh. They say, "Your Shaykh is just a man; let your fana' be in Rasulullah!" But it is false that the guiding Shaykh is just like any other. Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi said - Allah sanctify his soul: Know that wayfaring (suluk) in this Most Distinguished Path is by connection (rabita) and love for the Shaykh we follow. Such a Shaykh trod this Path steadfastly and was dyed (insabagha) with all kinds of perfections through the strength of Divine attraction (jadhba). His gaze cures the diseases of the heart and his Concentration (tawajjuh) lifts away spiritual defects. The owner of these perfections is the Imam of the period and the Khalifa of that time.... Thus our connection is love and our relationship (nisba) is mirroring and dyeing regardless of being near or far. Then the murid gets dyed in this Path by the connection of love for the Shaykh, hour by hour, and gets enlightened through the reflection of his lights. In this pattern, knowledge of the process is not a precondition for the giving or receiving of benefit. The watermelon ripens through the heat of the sun hour by hour and warms with the passage of days. It matures, yet what knowledge does it have of this? Does the sun even know that it ripens and warms it? As mentioned above, objecting to fana' fil-Shaykh is also like Objecting to love of the Shaykh. We aim to love our Shaykh and know that he is the worthiest object of love and respect in this world. As the poet said: Out of pure and sincere faithfulness to you I say:

Love of you is written inside my heart of hearts, a patent engraving [NAQSH], an ancient writ. Nor do I have any will [IRADA] except your love, Nor can I say anything to you but that I love you. On this topic Mawlana said recently: "We have been ordered to love holy people. These are the Prophets and, after Prophets, their inheritors, the Awliya'. We have been ordered to believe in Prophets and belief gives us Love. Love makes people to follow that beloved one. ITTIBA' means to love and follow while ITAAT means [only] to follow. An obedient person may be obedient by force or by love but not always by love. "Now, Allah Almighty is asking for His servants to love Him. And servants can't reach directly to love of their Lord. Therefore, Allah Almighty sends, on behalf of Himself, Prophets that represent Him among His servants. And everyone that loves Awliya and Anbiya, through Awliya are reaching love of Prophets. And through love of Prophets you are reaching to love of Allah Almighty. "Therefore, without love, a person can't be a beloved one in the Divine presence. If you are not giving your love, how does Allah Almighty love you? "But people that are like wood, dry, dry wood, are denying love. They are such dry ones - no life! A tree, with love, is opening through spring time. But dry ones, even if seventy springs came on them, never open. Love makes nature open and give its fruits, its beauty to people. Without love, it should never be opening, never flowering, never giving its fruits. "So love IS the most important pillar for faith. No love, no faith. I may speak on it up to next year, but you must understand, from a drop, an ocean!" (This is the end of Mawlana's talk.) By Mawlana, Allah has made all difficult things easy. We are grateful to know him because he is our shortcut to the nur in this Religion. This nur is the goal of every sane person. It is described in the magnificent verse "He gives wisdom unto whom He will, and he unto whom wisdom is given, he truly has received abundant good! But none remember except people of understanding" (2:269). May Allah grant us this wisdom and keep us on the path He commands and loves for us! May Allah grant Mawlana long life in health and grant us the rank of his true discipleship for the sake of the Most Honored Prophet Muhammad!

Damascus, 12 Rabi' al-Awwal 1425. Dr. G.F. Haddad (http://sultanulawliya.blogspot.com) -- Notes 1 There is a variety of opinions over Mawlana al-Shaykh 'Abd Allah's date of birth ranging from 1284 (in Muhammad Darniqa's al-Tariqa al-Naqshbandiyya) to 1294 according to Shaykh 'Abd Allah's oldest student Mawlana al-Shaykh Husayn (in Muhammad 'Ali ibn al-Shaykh Husayn 'Ali, al-Tariqat al-Naqshbandiyya al- Khalidiyya al-Daghistaniyya) to 1303 in Shaykh 'Adnan Kabbani's al-Futuhat al- Haqqaniyya to 1309 in Shaykh Hisham Kabbani's The Naqshbandi Sufi Way. 2 He also received the Qadiri Tariqa from Shaykh Ibrahim al-Qadiri (as did Shaykh Jamal al-Din) with whom he began his suluk until Shaykh Ibrahim directed him to Shaykh al-Thughuri cf. 'Ali, Tariqa Naqshbandiyya (p. 229). 3 Cf. Shu'ayb ibn Idris al-Bakini, Hadaya al-Zaman fi Tabaqat al-Khwajagan al- Naqshbandiyya (p. 375). He also took directly from al-Yaraghi cf. Ilyas al-Zadqari, Sullam al-Wusul as quoted in Hadaya (p. 378 n.). 4 Cf. al-Bakini, Hadaya (p. 396). He received the Qadiri Tariqa from Shaykh Ibrahim al-Qadiri and introduced the loud dhikr into the Daghistani branch of the Naqshbandiyya through that authorization cf. al- Bakini, Hadaya (p. 396); 'Ali, Tariqa Naqshbandiyya (p. 229). 5 And not 1254 as erroneously mentioned in several sources. The correction is thanks to 'Ali, Tariqa Naqshbandiyya (p. 214). Muhammad al-Yaraghi also took directly from Shaykh Isma'il al-Shirwani cf. al-Bakini, Hadaya (p. 350-351). 6 From present-day Shirvan in Azerbaijan. He died in Damascus and is buried in Mount Qasyoun next to Mawlana Khalid and Mawlana Isma'il al-Anarani who is Mawlana Khalid's first successor who died seventeen days after the death of Mawlana Khalid, both of them from the plague - may

Allah have mercy on them and all His shuhada'.
From Wikipedia:Nazim_Al-Haqqani At a very young age, Nazim displayed unexplained talents in the form of explaining to his teachers what they were going to teach before it was introduced.[3] After completing secondary school in 1940, at the age of 18 Nazim moved to Istanbul, where two brothers and a sister were living. He studied chemical engineering at Istanbul University. While advancing in his non-religious studies, Nazim continued his education in Islamic theology and the Arabic language under the tutelage of Cemalettin Elassonli (d. 1955 CE). Nazim received a degree in chemical engineering, yet he would later state, "I felt no attraction to modern science. Rather, my heart was always drawn to the spiritual sciences." He is fluent in Turkish (native), Arabic, English, and Greek. At some point during his first year of life in Istanbul, Nazim met his first spiritual guide, Suleyman Erzurumi (d. 1948), who was a murshid in the Naqshbandi Order. Nazim attended the gatherings of this particular shaykh which were held in the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Here he learned the basic spiritual methods of the Naqshbandi Order, in addition to those of the Qadiri and the Mevlevi. His focus on spirituality was further reinforced by the unexpected death of an elder brother who died serving as a doctor in World War II. Shortly after obtaining his degree, Nazim received inspiration to go to Damascus in order to find the famed Naqshbandi master, Abdullah al-Fa'izi ad-Daghestani. He obtained permission from Shaykh Erzurumi to leave Istanbul and in 1944 he arrived in Syria, although the unrest caused by the Vichy French government prevented his entry into Damascus until 1945. Upon meeting with the master, whose tekke is located on the slopes of the Jabal Qasyoun, Nazim took his hand in bay'ah, or initiation. Shortly thereafter Abdullah Daghestani ordered Nazim to return to his native Cyprus to deliver spiritual guidance. Abdullah also reportedly conferred the title of "Shaykh" to Nazim, thus giving him the legitimacy to speak on behalf of the Naqshbandi Order. While in Cyprus, Nazim came into conflict with pro-Atatürk governing body of the Turkish community of the

island. His repeated act of making the adhan in Arabic rather than the prescribed Turkish brought several lawsuits against him and there were some 114 cases lodged against him for crimes against the secular order. Nevertheless all these were dropped shortly thereafter with the coming to power of Adnan Menderes in Turkey, whose government opted for a more tolerant approach to Islamic traditions. Nazim moved back to Damascus in 1952, when he was wed to the daughter of one of the murids of Abdullah Daghestani, Amina Adil, whose family came to settle in Syria after fleeing Soviet rule of their native Kazan. From that time, Nazim took up residence in Damascus, and every year he would visit Cyprus for at least three months. The couple have two daughters and two sons. Worldwide mission work In the year following the death of Abdullah Fa'izi ad-Daghestani in 1973, Nazim began visiting Western Europe, travelling every year from the Middle East to London. On his return trips to Damascus, he would often drive by car through the former Yugoslavia, spending time visiting the Muslim communities there. It became his practice to spend the month of Ramadan in the large centre established in London. In 2000 this practice was discontinued. In 1997, Nazim visited Daghestan, the homeland of his murshid, Abdullah Fa'izi ad-Daghestani. He also made repeated visits to Uzbekistan were he made the pilgrimage to the tomb of the eponymous founder of the Naqshbandi Order, Shah Baha'uddin Naqshband. In 1991, Nazim visited the United States for the first time. At that time Nazim made the first of four nationwide tours, during the course of which he brought several hundred individuals into the fold of Islam. In 1996, Nazim was guest of honour at the First International Islamic Unity Conference. Over 8,000 people attended this conference, which included major Islamic scholars from around the world and whose theme focused on Islamic spirituality. While in the United States, Nazim gave widely attended speeches and associations and dhikr gatherings in a number of venues, including churches, temples, universities, mosques and New Age centres. In 1998, Nazim was again chief guest of honour at the Second International Islamic Unity Conference, held in

Washington DC. Attended by over 6000 people, the highlight of this conference was the ringing denunciation of terrorism by Nazim to the 160 Islamic scholars and VIPs from around the world, including the current Grand Mufti of Egypt, Grand Muftis of Russia and neighbouring nations and dignitaries from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Middle East and Africa. Later in 1998, Nazim traveled to South Africa, accompanied by a large contingent of students from around the globe. There he visited Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, in each city giving lectures in mosques filled to capacity. In 2001, Nazim, made the 2001 "Naqshbandi-Haqqani Eastern World Tour of the Muslim World", starting in Uzbekistan, from where he then travelled to Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. In the course of this journey, Nazim met with people of all walks of life, from the highest dignitaries and leaders to the common folk. The Shaykh, despite his advanced age, was able to maintain an incredibly hectic schedule of meetings, speeches, dhikr gatherings and spiritual gatherings with little or no rest for a period of forty days and covering a distance of over 15,000 miles. Nazim made his last trip to the United States in 2000, during which he was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on Religion and Spirituality. Sheikh Nazim's Dergah Nazim has had close relations with several notable politicians, notably the late president of Turkey, Turgut Ozal, as well as the ex Turkish Cypriot leader, Rauf Denktas. During his travels in Southeast Asia he gave his spiritual blessings to His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei. His Highness Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X of Yogyakarta and several members of Malaysia's royal families, including His Highness Prince Raja Dato' Seri Ashman Shah have taken initiation into the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Order at his hand. He also traveled on numerous occasions to India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka where he has been received with great fanfare. In the late 1990s he visited South Africa where he established contacts with the Sunni Muslim community. Nazim has made the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) some 27 times. Nazim rarely travels abroad nowadays. As of 2010 he mainly resides in his family home and spiritual dergah in the town of Lefka, Northern Cyprus, where he is still visited by hundreds of murids each week.

"Die Menschen im Westen brauchen Licht" - Über Scheikh Muhammad Nazim Adil al- Haqqani al-Qubrusi an-Naqschbandi Scheich Nazim wurde 1922 in Larnaca (Zypern) geboren. Seine völlige Hinwendung zum Geistigen erfolgte während seines Chemiestudiums in Istanbul, als ein schwerwiegendes Ereignis sein Leben veränderte: Sein Bruder, der an Tuberkulose gelitten hatte, starb in seinen Armen. Die Begrenztheit von Medizin, Naturwissenschaft und des weltlichen Lebens überhaupt wurde ihm hierdurch deutlich, und er machte sich auf seine spirituelle Reise. Der erste Schritt war ein einjähriger Rückzug in Aleppo, Syrien, den er betend in einem Keller verbrachte, wobei er täglich sieben Oliven aß. Nach einem Jahr sagte ihm der dortige Scheich, seine spirituelle Stufe sei nun so hoch, dass ihm nur noch ein Mensch weiterhelfen könne: Scheich Abdullah Daghestani in Damaskus. Scheich Nazim machte sich sofort auf den Weg zu ihm, und er hatte nur einen Wunsch: Er wollte Scheich Abdullah um die Erlaubnis bitten, sein restliches Leben im Rückzug zu verbringen, und zwar in Medina, am Grabe des heiligen Propheten Mohammad, auf dem der Friede sei. Dieser Wunsch sollte vorerst unerfüllt bleiben: "Es ist Endzeit", so wurde ihm gesagt, "und die Menschen im Westen brauchen jemanden, der ihren Herzen Licht gibt und sie aus der Dunkelheit führt." 1972 verschied Scheich Abdullah.

Scheich Nazim ging zunächst nach Zypern und dann nach London, wo er seit 1974 den Fastenmonat Ramadan verbringt. Während seiner Europa- und Amerika-Besuche ist er stets von einer ständig wachsenden Zahl von Besuchern, Schülern und Ratsuchenden umringt, die er als Seelsorger, Therapeut und geistiger Vater betreut, mit denen er betet, die er tröstet, heilt und berät. Im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte wurde Scheich Nazim - der wegen seiner Wahrhaftigkeit auch den Ehrentitel 'al Haqqani' trägt - zu einem der wichtigsten geistigen Führer unserer Zeit. Sein Einfluß nimmt sowohl im Westen als auch in den traditionell muslimischen Gebieten ständig zu - ein erstaunliches Phänomen. Er ist der 40. Scheich der Naqschbandiya, eines Sufi-Ordens, der mit dem Propheten Mohammad, auf dem der Friede sei, seinen Anfang nahm. Nach Auffassung der Sufis empfing der Prophet göttliches Wissen, das er - von Herz zu Herz - an seine geistigen Nachfolger weitergab. Wie alle Religionen hat auch der Islam einen inneren Weg, durch den er sich über die Jahrhunderte immer wieder erneuern und beleben konnte. Die Sufis waren es, die ihn davor bewahrten, in einem System von Dogmen und äußeren Regeln zu erstarren. Da sie ihr Leben der spirituellen Vervollkommnung widmeten, waren sie dazu imstande, die Lehre zu leben. Scheich Nazims Vorträge bilden kein geschlossenes 'System'. Es sind vielmehr Lehrgespräche und Stellungnahmen zu den verschiedensten Zeit-Themen und Zeit-Krankheiten: Vereinzelung, Beziehungsunfähigkeit, Depression, Sexualität, Frauenrechte, Altern, Umwelt, Menschenrechte. Sie entstanden in den verschiedensten Orten und zu den verschiedensten Gelegenheiten: im Zentrum für Einheit (Schweibenalp) in der Schweiz, in der ältesten Waldorf-Schule Deutschlands in Bochum, vor einer Gruppe von Heilpraktikern in London, an der Universität Oxford, in einem Buddhistentempel in Spanien, in einem Bistro bei Barcelona... Die Mehrzahl seiner Zuhörer sind Suchende, die durch das Zusammensein mit ihm Kraft für den geistigen Weg schöpfen. Er gibt in seinen Vorträgen Anweisungen für Gebetsübungen, zitiert aus dem Quran und erzählt aus seinem Leben.
