says that whatever

that a person may ask for is to be

found in the Holy Quran. He says - Qurantul Kareem Kithabul Mubeen, but we cannot enter into these Oceans of Knowl- edge because it is for Sahib Makcrruel Matmud who is Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. It is he who has been authorised to enter into these Oceans and to bring out pearls from it. He is the one who during a period of twenry-three years

made the Holy Quran clear to the Sahubus.

Everything must be found in the oly Quran. Everything that everyone does must therefore alse be found in the Holy Quiun.

ifa person says that this meeting or asso-

elation is not mentioned in the Holy Qurun

there will be danger for his Iman, for his belief. Yes, if Allah Almighty says that everything is in the Quran, it must then be so. This meeting too should be mentioned in it. The verse of the Toly Qurem, Le Fee Hee Zikrukum, is proof of this. Allah Al- mighty says “Oh! Mankind you have been mentioned in the Holy Quran.” You cannot say, “how can this be”? You must believe in

it.

You must believe in the endless Power of Allah Almighty, in Kawratallah. You have been created weak, therefore do not try to measure huge things with your small mind. Huge things belong to Allah Almighty and that is His attribute forever. He says thar

everything about you is in the Holy Quran.

You must believe in it. This is why the Prophet, on whom he peace, gave “Thafseer” or explanations of the Holy Quran fora period of over twenty years. Without this giving you cannot enter into

these Oceans.

This is why you are not able to read Quran Kereem or the Hadees of the Propher and give an interpretation as to its meaning. You have not been authorised to do this. ‘Therefore you must not try to give mean- ings to this. Today however, people who are not authorised are giving all types of meanings and interpretations of the [tadees of the Prophet, on whom be peace, and they say “T know Phafseer, | know the

explanation”,

The Ulemas of days gone by authorised their successors and their students only after teaching them for a period of time. This period may have been for over ten years, fifteen years, (wenty years, twenty- five years, thirty years or maybe even for over forty years. It is only after teaching

their students for such a long period of

- eS “ks / 4} |

time that they gave their students the authority to speak to people about rhe Aoty

Qurun and the Hucdees.

Dam therefore ashamed to give the meun- ing of a verse (Ayah) of the Quran or of the Hadees and to say that this is its meaning. Yes, Lam ashamed to do this even though I have the authority from my teacher under whom [ fearnt. He gave me authority fifty years ago. My teacher gave me authority in the traditional way. T was authorised to speak on Quran Kareem and on Pedees. dt was #iven to me in writing, “Tam giving authority to my student Muhammin! Nazim hin Adil to speak to peaple on the Quran and on the Fiadees, I e¢ive that authority to

him’.

My teacher was also an authorised person. He was authorised by his teacher and likewise and so on until from teacher to teacher it reaches to the authority of the

beloved Rusealillah , on whom he peace.

If a person gives meanings and inrerpreta-

tions to verses of Quran or Eluclees and

addresses people on it, and also if that person has not been authorised to do so by such an authority, he will be held respon- sible by Aflah Almighty for rhe meanings that he gives to people. It is wrong, yes, very wrong for unauthorised people to give Bayern. They do not have permission to do that. Allah Almighty is their witness whet they interpret without authority. They

carry entirely the responsibility for this.

Rasoolidlah, on whom be peace, explained the meanings of the Quran for a period of twenty three years. The Prophet, on whom be peace, also spoke many Padees during this period, perhaps millions of them. ‘Phe Withebi people take only a few bundred Hadees from one book or the other and say that these are all the Hedees that they accept to be the sayings of the Prophet. No, this cannor be so. The Prophet spoke for a period of twenty-three years after the revelation came to him. He spoke not only for his sahebe bur also for the entirety of his Nation (Vinma). He spoke to teach the whole World. How can it be that he only

spoke a few hundred [fadees, which are to

be accepted.

Even when I speak to people they do not allow me to stop speaking. They want me to speak more. | am nothing compared to the Prophet, on whom be peace. Then what about the Prophet, on whom be peace. How much more would he have spoken. Rasooltdlad , on whom be peace, is an ocean of Knowledge. In comparison to the knowledge af the Prophet, on whom be peace, the knowledge of all the Alans put together would be dike a drop of warer compared to the mighty QOccans. Then how

do we say thar we know something.

People came from all over and from all directions to speak to the Prophet, on whom be peace, and he spoke to all of them. They came like unending rivers and he spoke to them. ‘Therefore Tam wonder- ing why is it that out of all che things that the Prophet said only a few hundred Hadees of the Prophet, on wham be peace, are today acceptable to some people. Yes, he spoke so much and people are only

accepting a few Hadees.

54

When the revelation of the Quran (Wahi), came to the Prophet, on whom be peace, he spoke to them about it, and he spoke so much else also. If people are not accepting this they cannot accept the Risalath or Prophethood of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. These people claim that they are Doctors but they are ignorant ones. Yes, they say that they have received their Doctorates from England or from France or from some other such place. With their small minds they say that this Hadees is true and that Hudees is false. They say that a certain Hadees is weak and therefore it cannot be accepted. How can they say this. It is not Adab to say such a

thing.

If a person relates to you a Hadees, it is Adab, a good manner to accept it for the sake of the saying that it is a Hadees. This is giving respect co Rasoolullah , on whom be peace. You may however say that you have not heard of it before, but do not throw it away and say that it is a weak Eladees. Yes, we must give chis respect just

for the sake that it is a Hadees. Tt is a good

eg 9 YA a

ay

manner to do so.

Today the whole culture of Islam has been put into one book or one volume. Is the culture of Islam so small that you can do this. Therefore our levels of belief keeps getting gradually lower. It is slowly loosing its power. Our belief levels keep getting weaker and weaker and then there shall

not be the Power of Iman.

This is why people are suffering great calamities and have so many problems. There is now not enough power for our Iman to be able to bring solutions for us. The Muslim World today, because of this is like a boiling pot. The enemics of Islam are making everything difficule for the Muslims and the Christian World is helping them to

do this.

{heard recently that thousands of Muslims have been thrown out of their mosques and their homes. Yet, the Islamic World is still quarrelling and fighting amongst them- selves. This is because our Iman levels have

come down. Allah Almighty has ordered us

to be united and we are separated from

each other,

Therefore we have no value or worth in the eyes of people today. When we say something, no one pays any heed. In Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia there are about

one billion Muslims. They are however not

je

ay

able to say anything regarding the plight of the Muslims. This is a pity. This is because the Muslims today are fighting Islam from within Islam and the Non-Muslims are fighting Islam from outside Islam. Yes, our foolish Muslims are trying to destroy Islam from within Islam. May Allah Almighty

help us.

OCEAN

he vast body of water that sur

rounds the fancdinasses is known as

an Qeean. [tis one of the great seas that divide the continents. A thimble isa cap that is used to protect the end ol the finger when pushing a needle through cloth. This being the situation how could one put an Ocean into a thimble. Neither can a person put some warer from che Tixlian Qeean into a thimble and call that the Indian Ocean. But the Wahabis are well known for this. They try to put some

water inte a thimble and call it an Ocean.

A translator has only a litrle knowledge of

the Quremi and his knowledge can he

compared to a thimble and the Quran roan ocean. Fle translates the (Qurcar and says that he has written the translation of the

(event and the miterpretation of it.

Phe Quran Kareem is an ocean. How can the Walhehis translate and interpret the Quran? They cannot. Phey disrespect che

i foly Quran by doing this. Bur the Saints respect the Holy Quran when they say that the Holy Quran through every letter is like an ocean, Alif Leam Meem, these three letters are like three Oceans. Alif, contains an ocean of Knowledge. Therefore the Saints as a mark of respect would noc

interpret less than 24,000 meanings on that

D7

58

letter Alif. The letter Laam has another 24,000 meanings, the minimum, and Meem at least another 24,000 meanings. Ali, Laam, Meem contains at least three differ- ent meanings to each other. This is the reason that it is not good for a person to bring down the meanings of the Floly Quran by giving only a few meanings. This is why the Saints are ashamed to interpret

even a verse of the Holy Quran.

The Saints give at least a minimum of 24,000 meanings to each letter from the Holy Quran. How then is it that these ordinary people give only a very few mean- ings and say that, it is the interpretation. We cannot accept it because they cannot give as much as a Saint. This being the situation can we accept their translation of the Holy Verses in a few sentences in English, French, German or any other language. They say “this translation is according to my understanding”, we cannot accept this because we do not get the proper translation or the interpretation. They are ignorant of the fact that the

Divine Verses cannot be transfated or

interpreted, even with their high intellec- tual capacity. Hence, these people are

exhibiting the highest degree of ignorance.

Therefore, in the early days, the Ulemas and the learned religious people did not allow the others to interpret the Holy Quran because they knew that they did not have the knowledge to do so. They also knew that those who listened to this interpretation would also misunderstand and would be mislead, and as a result they would start loosing faith in the Alims.

The Alim may look at the Holy Verses and give some meaning. Without an Alim you cannot read Thafseer and you cannot read the translation. Even an Alim can only give a few meanings. Therefore how can others translate or interpret these Holy Verses. A person should have personal knowledge through wisdom to interpret, but even with that knowledge you must not translate the

Quran or the Hacees.

Presently the Wahabis are trying to stop

people from following the Imams. They tell

you to read the Quran and that you will find your way through the Quran. ] would like to ask them as to which Quran they are refercing to, and is it the translation. They are so foolish, they are trying ta direct people by way of their so-called path by telling them to follow only the transla- tions and not the Imams or the Madhabs. They are asking the people to find their own way without following Iniem Shafi, Imeem ElanaG, bnem Hambali ancl fmam

Maliki.

Phe Wohabis are advising people not to follow these Imenis. Due to these Wahabi teachings the Islamic World is in danger. [1 is a very difficult time for Muslitus through-

aw the islamic World,

Rach person is trying to translate the Quran and give his own view on it, und nor che Divine Meaning, because they cannot and the Wehebis are encouraging them to do

this. They are also trying to prevent people

from following the Imams. This is a very bad situation. The Islamic World is in danger. ‘Therefore the only way that we can take steps to mitigate rhe Wahubi’s actions is by following an Imam and to follow the madhabs. If you follow you will be safe, if

you do not follow you are in danger.

There are so many people who make Bayan. They cannot give Bayan, because they have not been authorised by an Alin. Therefore they have no authority to give

Beyer and through this great danger, most

59

people are being misled and only a very few have survived in the right path. People whe are trying to go out of Madhabs and who «do not follow Imems bave fallen into a valley. No one can save them. But there is a way and thar way Is to foflow the way of the four imams. The mission of Shuitert and his atiny is to change everything and to make people go in the wrong direction. May Allah Almighty forgive and protect us and

our belief from SAaitan.

THEE ALONE DO WE WORSHIP AND FROM THEE ALONE DO WE SEEK HELP

ben a Sheik orders you to do

something you must ohey hin,

When a Sheik orders you, do you say, “yes,” to him or “no,” to him. Do you question him, “Why did you order me so 2, Does a soldier ask the reason. for an omer coming to him from his officer 7 Does he tell his officer that he will not obey him, ov ask the reason for this order ? The attitude that a soldier has towards his officer should be the attitude that a Mureed must have towards a Murshid. This is the lowest level of Tarigu. The Miveed must not question his Sheik. It should not he fike Seyyadina Moosa (alai) questioning

the wisdom of Seyyadina Khidr (ali).

These are the orders that a Sheik gives his Mureed so that he woukl hecome a good servant to Seyyadina Muhammad, on 61

whom he peace, and to Allah Almighty.

Ifa Mureed does net have Aduhb with his Sheik, he will not learn to have Adab with the Prophet, on whom he peace. This means that he will also not learn to have Adab with Allah Almighty. The foolish Wahuabis are denying this Tharbiye. When a person does not accept to be the servant of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, they are also not accepted to be the servants of Allah Almighty because Allah

Almighty shall not accept their

servanthood. Allah Almighty says “Go to My Praised servant Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, first, be his servant and then come to Me, give your respect to him and then come to Me. If you do not respect him I shalf not accept your respect to Me. I Allah Almighty am giving Divine Respect to my beloved servant Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, then how is it-that you deny giving respect to my

beloved One ? “.

This is the real Adab that Tarigats give, and for which we are in need today. Yes, it is easy to understand this, but these square headed people do not understand. They say that respect to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, is Shirk (associating partners with Allah}. They say that we are

associating partners with Allah Almighty.

How can they say this when Allah Al- mighty Himself gives His Divine Respect to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, How can you say that you cannot give respect to Prophet, on whom be peace.

They say thar he is dead and therefore

there is no need to give respect. What is this foolishness. Allah Almighty gives everlasting respect to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, and they say to Allah Almighty, “Why is it thar Allah Almighty is giving respect to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom he peace, who has now died”. Those who say this are kafirs, no worse than the kafirs. Yes, you must first try to be a servant of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be ‘peace, if not Allah Almighty will not accept your

servanthood.

Allah Almighty threw away the worship of Iblis because he did not accept to be the servant of Adam (alai). He was ordered to respect Adam (alai) as the Noor Muhemmadi was cartied by Adam (ala). Allah Almighty ordered all the Angels to give their highest respect by prostrating, making Sajda to Adam (alai), as Adam (alai} was carrying the Noor of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. Iblis did not accept to do Sajde to Adam (alai) and

due to this he was chased away.

We know thar no one of mankind would be able to reach to the level of Iblis’s worship

_ to Allah Almighty. He worshipped Allah Almighty for thousands and thousands of years. But when he refused to be the servant of beloved Muhammad, on whom be peace, when he refused to bow down before Adam (alai) he did not reap any benefit from all his worship. This is because Adam. (alai) was carrying the light of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace,

the Noor Muhanmadi.

Why are some people refusing to give respect to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. Everyone is refusing to do Sajda tu Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, today. Take the example of Yakoob (alai). He was a Prophet, and his sons were also Prophets. They made Sajda to Yousuf

(edett). Did they commit the sin of Shirk.

The Wahabis are angry when people kiss my hand or kiss the hand of some other respectable person, What about the eleven brothers of Seyyadina Yousuf (alai) who

prostrated before Yousuf (alai). All eleven

of them were Prophets and Seyyadina Yakoob (alai) being the father and also a Prophet bowed to Seyyadina Yousuf (alui) and made Sada to him. Is anyone denying this. Then what about doing Sajdu to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. Animals they did Sajda to Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. We are more than animals therefore we may also do Sajda. At the beginning however it may not be clear for people, as chey have been prevented from doing Sajda to Seyyadina

Muhammad, on whom he peace.

63

When you say Lyyaka Na’budu Wa lyyaka Nasthaeen, to whom do you address it. Allah Almighty is Ghaib. If he is Ghaib, not present, to whom do you say byyuke? Who is that yyaka. Allah Almighty knows that you do not know to whom you are doing Sajda when you do Sajda to Alleh Almighty because you are told that He is Ghaib - Invisible. This is Secrer Sirr, and there are Oceans of Knowledge and Oceans of Secrets in the Holy Quran and

this is from its Secret Wisdom. Yes, when

you are saying Iyyaka Na‘’budu Wa Lyyaka

64

Nasthaeen, Allah Almighty knows that common servants are not looking at Him. But as a training you must look at the one to whom you make Sajda co, You must know that one when you are looking

towards that one .

When some people say Allahu Akbar, they look eowards the Kibla but who are they looking at through this Kible. They are looking at that One to whom they are saying “Tyyaka Nvabudtt Wa lyyaka Nasthacen’, and not to the empty walls or to the empty house which is the Kibla, The empty Baithulled does not give any benefit

to the Unie.

Betithillaf means the House of Allah Alinighty. Fam saying that it is the Baith or the house of Sheik td Burra. [fhe is not in that house how could {say that it is the house of Sheik UL Burra. Iza Ma Yakdithanee Sheik UL Burra Ma Yakoon Hagiqathan Baithul Sheik Ul Burra. If there was not the Lord in His House we cannot call it the House of Allah Almighty (Baichullah), Why

are we saying Buithalah to the House of the

Sao TVA me \at\

Lord if He is not in it. We know thar Allah Almighty is everywhere. Yes, we know that, but He is also specially in that Baithullech to he seen. If anyone, who looks for Him, looks for Him there, they may sce Him. The Ure are making Sajda, looking to the Kibla, to the Baithtllah. Yes, they must look as to whom they are making Sajda. Surely they are not making Sajde to the

walls of the Ke’aba. That is Shirk.

How can you say that you can make Sade co walls. How can it be so. Who do they see when they look towards the walls of the Kaaba. They are looking at the Lord of the Kaaba, who has been dressed by Divine Dressings, and to hini who is the Khalifaihudlah, the representative of Allah Almighty. When you say Iyyuka you look at him and when you look at him you are

looking at Allah Alnaighty.

Therefore this is the way of training so that people would be able to reach the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty. flow can one be a servant of Allah Almighty if he is not

ready to be the servant of Rasoolillah , on

whom be peace, before that.

The training of a soldier first rakes place at the hands of a Sergeant, and then thereat ter at the hands of a Colonel. When he is a Colonel he goes upto be a General after receiving training at the hands of a Gen- eral. How is it possible for a soldier to go up

to the highest position of being a Com-

sala

mander when he does not know the lower

position of being a soldier. This is the Adub.

Likewise it is important for a Muslim to be trained at the hands of a Murshid UI Kamil, a perfect inheritor of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, who knows to train Mureeds. May Allah Al

mighty help us.

65

BEYOND TIME AND SPACE

s Jong as we are within the linnits

of time and space we are forced

to carry heavy burdens on ourselves. Therefore we must ask Allah Almighty to take these heavy burdens away. The Spiritual World is beyond time and space. Therefore we know that there is no time and no space in the Spiritual

World,

Hence we must try co develop our Opirirual Bodies to escape from this burden that we are carrying. If we do not go beyond time and space our souls which have come from the Spiritual Workd to our bodies will be locked up like in a prison, which is the prison of time ani space. We must ask

Allah Almighty to forgive us because we

are trying to escape from [lis Will, We keep thinking that it is better for us to be ina prison, living for dunya, rather than be

out of time and space.

All of the Prophets (peace he upon them), incluling the Seal of the Prophets Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, gave teachings and methods ta mankind to save them from this prison and to give them their freedom. But mankind due to their desires are not following the teach- ings or the methods given to them because it may become a hindrance to their desires. Therefore anything that does not prevent them from their desires is whar they seem to he calling freedom. This is the undet-

standing of the common people. They do

67

68

not realise that they have become slaves to their desires. How can there be freedom

when they are slaves to their desires.

Therefore when Prophets came and called Mankind to accept their good teachings and methods, which they brought from the Heavens in order to break the bondage of slavery on Earth and to make them free and to make them reach to Heaven, they ran away saying, “No, you have come to make us slaves, and to take our freedom away. You are trying to put us in prison by bringing haram and halal co us”. This is the understanding, today, of the common

people of this heavenly message.

Abu Jahif and others refused to accept the teachings of Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, and went against the Prophet, or whom be peace, saying, “No, we do not believe in you and we cannot accept you and your discipline. Originally we never accepted any discipline, we want to he free of all what you are saying. You are telling us the wrong things, the things

that we do not like to do. How could we

have freedom if we listen ta you because by listening to you we are becoming slaves”.

They did not realise that they then became slaves of Shaitan and not of Allah Almighty.

Since they were slaves of Shaitun they did not want to accept. Shaitan was telling them not to accept these holy teachings because by accepting it they would have lost their freedom. The same mentality has been there throughout the centuries and particularly more so in this century. They are trying to run away from Islam because they think that in Islam man docs not have his freedom and more particularly that there is no freedom for women. More than half the population thinks this way and they are wrong. Shaitan and his representa- tives are saying to women, ‘Do not accept Islam, by accepting Islam you are going to loose your freedom. You cannot be free as you wish to be.” The mentality of women bas become such today that they say, “we refuse to come to Islam. In our countries we do not want the government to have Islamic Jaws, Sharia, because we will then

loose our freedom. We do not like to vote

EE, y

for the people who try to bring this law of

Islam (Sharia) to our country.”

Shaitan is teaching them not to accept Islam and that by accepting Islam they will be loosing their freedom. Women have reached to the lowest levels possible today. Yes, women of the 20th century have reached the lowest levels. Finished. Men are dealing with women today even as they deal with animals. They are degrading them by not giving them the honour that is due to them. They do not give them their tights. Are these the freedoms for which women are fighting Islam. They fight against Islam because it is preventing their animal desires, which they need so much.

Islam does not agree to this.

Islam teaches discipline to save humanity from being on the level of animals, and to take people to the ranks of Heaven. This is the target of Islam. These are the views and teachings of Islam, which is to save people from the level of animals and to

take them to the ranks of the Angels.

a4

People are still insisting and asking for more freedom. I am telling them that if they need such freedom, it is better for them to go to the jungles and to live there with the animals. There they may live as they wish. Throughout the ages Shaitun has made humanity to misunderstand Islam. If Islam says, “this is white”, Shaitan will say that it is black. if Islam says that it is black, Shaitun wall say, “No, it is white”.

Some time ago I saw in Malaysia, written

all over, “follow him”. I asked whom are

69

they asking to follow. Perhaps, Shaitun is not mentioning his name and is reminding people to follow him. No one answered my question but T have found out that Shaitan had written this in order for people to follow him. I cold them to write there instead “follow Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace.” People today write “Beware of the dog”, instead of writing “Beware of Shaitan. ‘

Print in all the languages known in your country, “Beware of Shaitan and follow

Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be

70

“

peace,” and first take it to the Speaker of Parliament, then to the President, then to the Prime Minister and then to the ocher Ministers and Members of Parliament and thereafter to everyone else and warn them of Shaiten. Everyone must write in their residences and business places a reminder mentioning to beware of Shaitan, and to follow Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. That is the command of Allah Almighty saying Wazakkir, Allah Almighty told his beloved servant Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace, “Oh! My beloved servant. Muhammad, on whom be peace, you must remind my servants fo beware of Shaitan. The Prophet spread this holy message for us to follow and we should

therefore follow this.

2 9 Cee

Avre))|

If to a dog you say “woof” it might run away, but to Shaitan if we say “woof” even a hundred times he will not run away. Therefore we should take care and say, “No, [ will not follow you. You are Shaitan and you are bad, you will send me astray and because of this I will not be your slave”. If you cannot fight against Shaitan because you are feeling weak, say, “Oh, my Lord I am weak, save me from Shaiian, Aizznee, protect me, | am in need of You to fight this feeling. Then the order from Adlah Almighty will be for you to say, “Auzubillah, Oh! my lord protect me from Shaiten Nir Rajeem”. When you feel weak in front of Shaitan and his traps say “Oh, my Lord T am weak, so save and protect me

from Shaitan.”

ah Almighty has sent to us

Shetria, “Teerujee, Merrifre and

Eletegiqe. Shetrice is the means by which we could reach to HMucgiqa or Reality. The Sharid is like a ship and ‘feriqe like an ocean across which you have to move towards T fetefegicyeet your destination. Without Sherta, Tariq would be useless. It would he like parking a boat in the beach, You have to take it te the ocean to use it. Likewise Sharia without Huggiget is noth- ing. Whoever keeps to the Sharia must enter the Ocean and move on his direction to his destination, be it east or west, north

OF sou th,

There are forty-one Tirigas and cach one is an Ocean. You can use any one of them according to your destination. All of them 71 keep to the Sheri ancl expecr its followers to keep perfect Sheria as without a ship you cannot cross over the Oceans. The knowl- edge of our destination, which is I lecpepicpe, is called Marif. We ask for | faggiqa or for the Reality, which is Allah Almighcy. Therefore Sharia is like a boat, Tariqa like an Ovean, knowledge of your destination is Merifec and your reaching the destination is

Huagiqe.

The question now is do you need a Sheik

to reach to that destination. For example,

72

you need a Captain in a ship or a Pilot in an aeroplane to take you from one place to another unless you can steer and guide it

yourself.

The final destination of people is the Divine Presence of Allah Almighty. The forty-one Tariqas are like forty-one Oceans and you may choose any one of them. If you want to reach anywhere you have to move your boat from the beach to the occan. Similarly Sharia must be practised through Tariga. The Sheik is like the Captain or Pilot. He is the one who is experienced in going back and forth. We novices cannot lead. Tt is enough to choose a way with one guide. All the Prophets were guides while those who guide after them are their Inheritors. In Mecca and Mcdina we need the guidance of a Metawwaf who holds us by the hand and takes us around the Kaaba etc. So what of going to the Divine

Presence of Allah Almighty.

All the Prophets before Islam taught their believers Tanya , as without it Sharia would

be useless. As we said before a boat serves

no purpose on land. Its usefulness is only in the Oceans. Once in the Ocean it can reach its destination from different direc-

tions.

The forty-one Tariqas are forty-one Oceans needing different types of vessels to traverse them. Some need very high tonnage vessels while a simple boat will do for others. Allah Almighty created many Tarigas so that each one could choose his mode of travel according to his capacity. If you have a big capacity ship you may move through the Oceans, seas or lakes to your destination which would be the same from, any direction. Keeping Sharia only, is like keeping a boat on the beach. So take it to the ocean. The Tariga, the ocean would never take anything away from Sharia, therefore, you should bring the whole of Sharia into Tariga and taking anything away makes you an imperfect Tariga follower. It is not acceptable to Tariga. Tariqa demands a perfect following of the Sharia as leavmg anything out would be like making a hole in your vessel, and that

hole is enough to drown you.

Therefore, Tariga people try to keep more firraly to the Sharia than the others. Find- ing out destination is a Very serious subject. Aliah Almighty will ask why we did not take care in finding our destination. Only

the Wishubis, mindless, empty headed and

square beaded people don’t understand the Seal of the Propher Seyyadina Muhammad, on whom be peace. The Wuhabis do not understand Tariga. Leave them and keep

To your Way.
