TASAWWUR ISLAM

"Taqwa has been transmitted in its entirety, wholly and in

detail, by our forefathers and salaf salih through their

transmitted pattern of behaviour, which is the satisfying

method and the even path, the most secure hand-hold. It is

a clear guiding light, as brilliant as the sun in the midday

sky. It is the path of the Messenger and his rightly guided

successors, which every seeker was commanded to grasp

firmly and securely. It is transmitted through a sound chain

extending up to their grandfather the Messenger, blessings

and peace be upon him.”Habib Taher Bin Hussein Bin Taher
