Rahnumaye Salik Guideline for the Spiritual Seeker

In order to follow the spiritual

path of the Auliya e karam, the

following prerequisites must be

met;

1. Wuqoof e Qalbi

(Cognizance of the Heart)

Wuqoof e Qalbi is an Arabic term

which means ‘halting your heart’.

In tassawuf, however, it means to

hold the heart with the

remembrance of Allah Subhan O

Taala, so it does not diverge and

deviate. Wuqoof e Qalbi entails

the seeker to devoid the heart


5

from any other thought, except

for Allah Subhan O Taala.

a. True Cognizance

True cognizance is achieved by

recognizing that Allah Subhan

O Taala is the ‘Ever Watchful

One’, ‘the Creator’. He is aware

of all our deeds and actions;

therefore, one must be

conscious of his conduct. It

involves the constant awareness

of the spiritual heart, being the

focus of perception, thoughts

and feelings, towards Allah

Subhan O Taala, at all times.


6

b. Importance of Wuqoof e Qalbi?

The course of everyday living

can muster vain ideas and

inane thoughts, therefore, due

practice of the cognizance of

heart is vital to obliterate such

meaningless thoughts. Once,

the seeker is able to

concentrate his heart towards

his Creator, the true cognizance

of Allah Subhan O Taala is

achieved. Initially, it may seem

difficult, but becomes a second

nature, over time.


7

2. Muraqabah (Meditation)

Meditation is called Muraqabah in

Arabic, derived from the word

Raqibun, meaning, the watchful

one or the vigilant. ‘Ar Raqib’ is

one of Allah Subhan O Taala’s

attributes meaning, ‘the One Who

is Ever Watchful’. Therefore,

Muraqabah means an act of

guarding the heart and mind.

Muraqabah in Naqshbandi Order

means to watch over or to keep

an eye. It implies that the seeker

takes care of his spiritual heart

and truly believes that he is

under the constant watch of the

‘Ever watchful One’, being Allah.


8

a. How to Perform Muraqabah in the Naqshbandi Order?

The seeker must choose a

specific time, free from any

distractions, on a daily basis.

Mobile phones and any other

form of interaction should be

restricted. It is recommended to

meditate with an empty

stomach or few hours after a

meal. The seeker is advised to

perform Wudu and sit as per

Sunnah or cross legged, facing

towards Qiblah, for at least 45

minutes. The seeker must close

his eyes and mouth and try

breathing through the nose. All


9

thoughts must emphasize

towards the heart, which in

turn should concentrate

towards Allah.

The seeker should reflect on

Allah Subhan O Taala, The

Almighty, with all His

attributes, free from any flaws.

With these thoughts in mind,

the seeker should imagine that

the light is emanating from

Allah Subhan O Taala to the

blessed heart of Allah’s Last

Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص and through the

hearts of the Naqshbandi

Mashaikh towards his heart.

This is to be visualized for a


10

few seconds only. Then, the

seeker should envision that his

heart is being enlightened and

purified from any impurities

and humming Ism- e- Zaat

Allah, Allah, Allah, while the

seeker is listening to it.

b. Importance of Muraqabah

Meditation is considered an

integral part of the spiritual

path, especially the Naqshbandi

Order. It leads the seeker to

watch over his spiritual heart

and attain the true love of Allah

Subhan O Taala.


11

c. Upholding Shariah and Sunnah

It is imperative to maintain

Shariah and uphold Sunnah.

The seeker must perform the

five obligatory prayers and daily

recital of the Quran. Conscious

effort should be established to

abide by the Shariah and

embrace the Sunnah. This

includes keeping the beard,

wearing Hijab etc. and

abstaining from any evil as

smoking, music and

photography.


12

3. Tasbeehaat (Remembrance)

The following tasbeehat must

be performed 100 times each,

twice daily. The set of four

must be performed once after

Fajr, to be repeated after

Maghrib.

هِ ُب اِل یْ ُکلِِّ ذ ْنٍب وَّ ا تُوْ ْست ْغِفُرہللا ت ع الٰی ربِِّْی ِمْن ا .i

5. Raabita (Communication with

the Shaykh)

In Naqshbandi order, it is

imperative to seek guidance for

spiritual and worldly matters

from the Shaykh. The seeker

must contact the Shaykh once a

month, to report his spiritual

matters and routines. This also

includes matters pertaining to

following Shariah and Sunnah.

One must report all matters

truthfully, without any

exaggeration and follow the

Shaykh’s advice regarding those

matters. The etiquettes regarding

calling or visiting, as explained


24

below, have to be strictly followed

for contacting or visiting the

Shaykh.

6. Aadaab (Etiquettes with the

Shaykh)

The seeker cannot reach his

destination by following the path

of spirituality on his own accord.

It is the duty of the Shaykh to

connect the seeker with Allah,

therefore, the seeker must accept

the Shaykh as his teacher and

guide and follow him with true

integrity. Respect and honor for

the Shaykh and his family is

detrimental to achieve success on


25

the path of spirituality. The

following are some of the basics

that the seeker should abide by in

regards to etiquettes with his

Shaykh:

a. Seeking Advice

Hazrat Syed Ali Ma’rz’i رحمۃ ہللا

said, “The seeker must not علیہ

involve in any activity or a

Wazeefa without the prior

permission of his Shaykh.

Hazrat Junaid Baghdadi مۃ حر

said, “The one who ہللا علیہ

treads this path without a

true teacher will only mislead

himself and others.


26

Whosoever، disrespects the

spiritual Shaykh, Allah will

make him detestable amongst

people.”

The seeker should follow the

Shaykh’s guidance in worldly

and spiritual matters.

If the Shaykh’s advice is

against the seeker’s wish, the

seeker should still follow and

trust the wisdom of his

Shaykh.

The seeker must not expect

miracles from his Shaykh.

The seeker must not

question the Shaykh about

the positive or the negative


27

aspects of the advice.

The seeker must not present

his opinion to the Shaykh.

The seeker should never

accuse or curse the Shaykh

for his advice or his words.

The blessings of the true

Shaykh would emanate for

the seeker. Allah Subhan O

Taala would still bless the

seeker for his intentions, even

if there was a misjudgment.

b. Conduct

Hazrat Abu Ali Daqaq رحمۃ ہللا

said, “If the seeker is علیہ

dissident, the oath is broken,

therefore, he must renew his


28

oath with the Shaykh.”

The seeker must conduct at

his best in front of the

Shaykh.

The seeker must be attentive

towards his Shaykh and avoid

indulging in conversation with

others.

The seeker must obey the

Shaykh and shall not involve

in any other matter except for

the obligatory prayers.

The seeker must neither

walk in front of the Shaykh

nor show his back to the

Shaykh.

The seeker should not talk


29

absurd or ask the Shaykh

pointless questions.

The Shaykh is the teacher

and the guide; therefore, one

must respect the Shaykh

even in his absence.

The seeker must refrain from

talking in front of his Shaykh.

Even if the Shaykh is quiet,

the seeker’s heart still benefits

from the Shaykh.

The seeker must not

perform Dikr or optional

prayers around his Shaykh

without his prior permission.

The seeker shall not use the

personal utensils of the


30

Shaykh

The seeker must not rest at

the designated place of his

Shaykh’s rest

The seeker must observe

and follow the Shaykh in all

matters e.g. dressing, ibadah.

The seeker must not hide his

spiritual matters from his

Shaykh

The seeker must be

extremely respectful and

never call out to his Shaykh.

The seekers who are blessed

to be in the close company of

their Shaykh must not

consider themselves superior.


31

Hazrat Suhaib Roomi رضی ہللا

and Hazrat Salman Farsi عنہ

ضی ہللا عنہ ر came from far off

lands and were blessed

whereas, Abu Jahal and Abu

Lahab, even being close, were

profane.

c. Respect

Shaykh Abdur Rahman ہللا اعلیه

حمةر said, “The one who finds

himself resentful towards his

Shaykh or his brothers in

oath, must know that Allah

resents him.”

The seeker must honor the

teachers and the family of the

Shaykh.


32

No one has ever reached his

spiritual destination without

the love and respect towards

Mashaikh.

If anyone claims to

accentuate without the

guidance of a true Shaykh, he

would be considered the

disciple of Shaytan. In such

circumstances, any strange

deeds would be associated

towards Shaytan only.

Even though the seeker

deems a wazeefa beneficial, if

the Shaykh substitutes it

with another, the seeker must

accept it.


33

Even if the Shaykh looks

pleased, the seeker must not

cross his limits and be

obedient. One must know

that he is being assessed.

The seeker must not judge

the words of the Shaykh with

his own wisdom.

The seeker shall never

consider his obligation

fulfilled, even if he is utterly

devoted and spends

thousands; otherwise he will

lose his path.

The love and respect of the

Shaykh is worth more than

the optional or Nafli visit to


34

Makkah. The seeker reaches

the Lord of the Ka’ba through

ones Shaykh which is far

better than visiting Ka’ba.

The seeker should visit his

Shaykh with true integrity,

even if he is blessed to visit

him infinitely.

The person who attained

spirituality without a true

Shaykh would be wasted as

the fruit without a seed

If the Shaykh accentuates

his brother in oath more than

the seeker, the seeker shall

never be jealous or

apprehensive of his brother in


35

oath otherwise, the seeker

would lose his way.

Just as it is inappropriate to

associate other than one’s

own father, it is inappropriate

to associate with anyone

other than one’s own Shaykh.

The seeker must believe that

the Shaykh is the source of

blessing from Allah Subhan O

Taala. The approval of the

Shaykh constitutes Allah’s

approval and vice versa.

The seeker must appreciate

the spirituality of the Shaykh

and not be concerned about

the physical aspects.


36

The seeker must not

begrudge his Shaykh. Even if

the Shaykh seems indignant,

the seeker must know that

the Mashaikh do not avert a

Muslim for a moment. The

Shaykh is a guide to the

seeker and does everything in

his best interest.

The seeker shall not

consider his apparent Ibadah

better than his Shaykh’s

Ibadah. He must know that

one day of the Shaykh’s

Ibadah is better than a

thousand days of his own

Ibadah.


37

If the Shaykh is angry, the

seeker should apologize, even

if the seeker is unaware of his

wrongdoing.

The seeker should consider

Shaykh’s sleep superior to his

own Ibadah.

Hazrat Ali bin Wa’fa, once

said that the Shaykh is like a

mirror to the seeker. Once, a

seeker said to Hazrat

Bayazeed Bustami رحمۃ ہللا علیہ,

“My teacher! Last night, I

saw your face as a pig.”

Hazrat replied, “Son! I am

your mirror. Once you purify

your inner self from all the


38

characteristics of a pig and

look at me, you will see your

own true face.”

Hazrat Shaykh Yousuf

Aja’mi رحمۃ ہللا علیہ said, “The

seeker who missed his

Shaykh’s gathering without a

valid excuse shall condemn

himself in front of his

brothers in oath.”

The seeker shall not depend

on the spirituality of his

forefathers. Remember,

spirituality is not inherited; it

has to be earned through

constant desire and effort.

A sinful heart cannot follow


39

the truth; therefore, it has to

be devoid of any evil,

therefore, the Mashaikh said

to the seekers, “Bring your

heart as a clean slate to us”.

The seeker should honor

and respect Shaykh’s wife as

his mother, as per Qur’an,

“His wives are their mothers”

If the Shaykh awards

something for example, cap,

gown, shoes, Siwaak etc. the

seeker must not use that for

commercial purposes. At

times they have the blessings

from the Shaykh.

If by the will of Allah Subhan


40

O Taala, a seeker reaches the

same status as of his Shaykh,

he must still honor his

Shaykh as it was due to his

Shaykh’s blessings that the

seeker reached the subject

status.

The seeker must

acknowledge every word of

his Shaykh as true. If the

seeker is unable to

comprehend the meanings

then, he must consider it as

his own flaw.

Hazrat Syed Ali bin Wa’fa

said, “Beware, if the رحمۃ ہللا علیہ

Shaykh is gracious and be


41

glad if the Shaykh is harsh”.

When the Shaykh is gracious

it can still be a trial and when

Shaykh is harsh it is for the

best interest of the seeker.

The seeker shall not expect

his Shaykh to come to him.

Once a disciple of Hazrat

Syed Ali, رحمۃ ہللا علیہ assumed

that his Shaykh should visit

him to acknowledge his

arrival from Hajj. As his wish

was not granted, he

begrudged his Shaykh,

therefore, lost his spirituality.

The seeker must give

preference to the


42

requirements of his Shaykh

and his family. Even, if one

spends all his money, he is

still indebted to his Shaykh.

The Seeker must not stare at

his Shaykh. One must keep

his gaze low except for an

occasional glance.

d. Integrity

Hazrat Sahykh Abdul Qadir

Jilani حمةرہللا اعلیه said, “The one

who does not believe in his

Sahykh will never succeed”.

Hazrat Syed Ali Khawas رحمۃ

said, “One must ہللا علیہ

consider his Shaykh’s friends


43

as his friends and his

Shaykh’s enemies as his own

enemies, otherwise Shaytan

would overcome him.”

The seeker must connect his

heart towards his Shaykh

and associate any spirituality

towards him, even if he

observes otherwise.

The seeker shall not try to

analyse the spiritual status of

his Shaykh and mind his own

path.

If the Shaykh ordains the

seeker to withhold from the

company of a particular

scholar, the seeker must


44

cease, otherwise, he will be at

loss.

The seeker must always

associate all spiritual

blessings towards his Shaykh.

Even, if the blessings were

received from another Shaykh,

he should still associate those

towards his own Shaykh;

otherwise it will be a grave

mistake.

As there is one Lord to

worship and one husband for

a woman, so is one Shaykh for

a seeker. If a seeker follows

more than one Shaykh, he will

be lost.


45

The seeker must not visit

any other scholar even if he is

Shaykh’s friend, without the

prior permission of his

Shaykh, as it can cause

distraction.

If the Shaykh does not

respond to a visiting Shaykh,

then the seeker must not

respond either, as it would be

detrimental for the seeker.

e. Etiquettes regarding

Communication

Remember, the seeker has

one Shaykh, but the Shaykh

has many seekers.


46

Once a month, the seeker

must communicate his

spiritual matters to the

Shaykh.

If the seeker wishes to

visit the Shaykh, he must

make a prior appointment.

If for any reason, the

seeker is unable to make it

to his appointed time; he

must inform the Shaykh and

not keep him waiting.

The seeker must leave as

and when the Shaykh

indicates so. At times, the

Shaykh may not say it

verbally, but the seeker must


47

understand that the Shaykh

has other commitments,

therefore, beg leave once his

intended discussion is

finished.

During a visit to the

Shaykh, the seeker must

ensure that he does not

extend his visit to an

unreasonable time. The

seeker must remember that

his Shaykh also has other

commitments.

If the seeker wishes to

contact the Shaykh through

mobile phone applications

e.g. whatsapp etc. the basic


48

etiquettes of respect and

honour must still be

followed.

The seeker must not call

the Shaykh without making

a prior appointment.

The seeker shall never

interrupt the Shaykh during

his conversation, over the

phone.

The seeker must be

concise and brief in his

discussion with the Shaykh.

While reporting the

spiritual matters, the seeker

must be concise. Do

remember that the Shaykh


49

has traversed the path of

spirituality and fully

understands your spiritual

matters.

The seeker must be

assured that the Shaykh

would always read or listen

to the message and would

only reply or advice, if

needed. Therefore, if the

Shaykh had seen the

seeker’s message and did not

reply, it means that the

Shaykh had still performed

dua and Tawajjuh, but the

matter is such that it did not

require a reply.


50

The seeker must be

patient and not send

reminding messages after

the first message. If the

problem requires Shaykh’s

attention, be assured that

the Shaykh will reply at his

earliest.

For ladies, the same

etiquettes and the code of

conduct apply to calling or

visiting the Shaykh’s family.

Ladies must never call or

visit the Shaykh’s family

without a prior appointment.


51

7. Sahib e Nisbat (Attaining

Constant Love and Connection

with Allah)

The true objective of Bait or oath

is to attain the cognizance of

Allah. It is achieved when one is

constantly connected to Allah

Subhan O Taala.

53

8. Lessons of the Naqshbandi

Order

There are thirty five lessons in

Naqshbandi order. These lessons

are assigned by the Shaykh

according to the status of the

seeker. These are to be practiced

path of spirituality with a Shaykh.

these lessons without the

guidance and prior permission of

the Shaykh.

fingers under the left nipple

heart; therefore, the tongue is to

touch the palate, so it does not

move. The seeker must

concentrate towards Allah

Subhan O Taala and eliminate

any other thoughts. In the

beginning, one may not be able

to focus, but with due practice

and the blessings of the Shaykh,


55

it becomes easy to concentrate.

and desire for Allah Subhan O

Taala, rather than listening to

Sunnah.
