The Golden Chain (22.08.2021)

IMG-20210822-WA0001

.Today is the Urs of our Shaykh, Sayyidina Shah Baha’uddin. May his Maqam be higher. He is a great holy man who served humanity and Muslims. Millions of people reached guidance through him. And this way is going on until Qiyāmah. This way is the beautiful way of our Holy Prophet ﷺ that leads to Allah ﷻ. It is the way of good people.

Tariqah is what keeps Islam clean among so much Fitnah. And the best one is the Naqshbandi Tariqah. It starts from our Holy Prophet ﷺ then Sayyidina Abu Bakr raḍiya Llāhu ‘anhu, and with names changing, it eventually reached Sayyidina Shah Baha’uddin Naqshband. Then, it was called Naqshbandi after him. And until Qiyāmah, millions of people have been and will be following it insha’Allah. His Maqam is very high.

Today is the anniversary of his death. And the day of his death is like a wedding – Urs. It is not sad for them to meet Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla. Contrarily, it is the day of happiness. Of course, it is sad for others. But their duty is to deliver people, Muslims, Ahlu t-Tariqah cleanly to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. This is their goal. Their goal is the pleasure of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ increase his Maqam. This is the vow our Holy Prophet ﷺ gave him in the Cave of Thawr during the Hijrah of our Holy Prophet ﷺ with Sayyidina Abu Bakr. The Hijrah is something that had to be performed for humanity and Muslims. All the Naqshbandi Mashayikh had gathered spiritually in the Cave of Thawr, not the Cave of Hira’, took bayah and made Dua for this way to continue. Pervert Firqas with a broken belief were cleaned out through them. Otherwise, there were many shaytans who wanted to destroy Islam.

There are Mujaddids – revivers who were meant to be on this way. Mujaddid Alf Sani, reviver of the second millenium Sayyidina Ahmad al-Faruqi came from this way. He called it the golden chain. It is an unbreakable chain. It will go on until the appearance of Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam and until Qiyāmah with the permission of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ give guidance to people. And may those who are meant to be on this way enter it insha’Allah. May it be blessed for all of us insha’Allah. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

The Mysteries of Charity & Fasting for Children

Understanding the spiritual meanings on which the practices of Islam are based, opens up the vastness of the inner life. Even though young Muslim children are not yet obliged to fast or pay zakat, the virtues and spiritual dimensions on which these are based can easily be introduced and comprehended even by five-year olds. Imam al-Ghazali’s stories and metaphors offer an effective way for parents to communicate with their children, in a language which can be used and directly related to the occurrences within everyday life. In the following two books of the Ihya, such virtues as generosity, gratitude, selflessness, reflection, self-discipline, patience, honesty, moderation, and trust in God’s loving wisdom are no longer abstract concepts but can be clearly seen instead as urgent and absolutely relative to each individual. We are indeed blessed to have Imam al-Ghazali’s systematic presentation of aspects belonging to the inner sunna and his detailed map for guarding and perfecting our innate and noble nature.
