calling upon His generosity, "O You Who created the tree
of the world and Who gave it the fruits of the sons of Adam
and who chose from among them Muhammad, O our God, guide us
to the straight path and make us steadfast in Your right religion.
O our Lord, do not entrust our affairs to ourselves, not even
for the blink of an eye. Bestow upon us Your gifts and take
us by you from us and grant us the gift of Your existance in
us. Make us develop in the ocean of Your gifts through the constancy
of the tajjali of Your jamal and jalal. O God of all the worlds,
by Your mercy, O Most Merciful and by Your generosity, O Most
Generous, I say all of this as a reminder so that whoever wishes
may take a way towards his lord. |

The
children around the Table of Allah. This book is
a collection of stories and sayings of some of the early Sufis,
the people of Tasawwuf, who followed the path of the inner
knowledge (ma’rifa) of Allah, the Exalted. Each of them bore
witness to whatever his Lord wanted to make manifest of Himself
through them in the world. They were patient and trusting,
ridding themselves of the comforts and benefits of the material
world (dunya) in order to purify their selves (nufus) and
their hearts to live only for their Beloved Allah. They persevered
through the many difficulties and sometimes misfortunes, which
they had to face in the annihilation of themselves. This is
the real food and the real drink from this deep source of
the love and wisdom of God. This is the true food for all
who love Allah, seeking only His face. A profound explanation
of the meanings of the Names of Allah introduce this teaching
from the lives of the Friends of Allah, Uwais al-Qarani, Malik
ibn Dinar, Habib ibn ‘Isa ibn Muhammad al-Ajami, Shaqiq ibn
Ibrahim al-Balkhi al-`Azdi, Rabi`a al-Adawiyya, al-Fadil ibn
`Ayyad ibn Mas`ud at-Tamimi al-Maliki, Bishr al-Hafi, Abu
Sulayman ad-Darani, Ma`ruf al-Karkhial-Harith al-Mahasibi,
Hatim al-Asam, Abu Bakr ash-Shibli, Sahl at-Tastari, and Dhu
Nun Abu Ibrahim al-Misri. Two discourses from the those early
glorious days are also included: Eternal Stopping Places and
The Compassion of the Sufi.
|
|
The
Children of the Truth. This book serves as a means
for ordering and linking together the lives and sayings of
our Masters and those blessed beings who lived in the time
following the death of the Prophet Muhammad, prayers and peace
be upon him, whose lives were examples of the Love of Allah
made manifest in this world. These were the earliest of the
People of Tassawuf (the knowledge of the Sufi Path) when to
be a true Sufi, as one of them said, "Was to be a Reality
without a name." Whereas in our day, to be a Sufi has become
a name without a Reality.

Tafsir of Juz Amma
An Explication of Qur’an 78 - Qur’an 114
My beloveds! You who aspire to the ways leading to the gate
of the Truth (al-haqq), that you may obtain experiential gnosis
[of Him], and seek the provisions that you may tread the Path
of your Master until He takes charge of your affairs, and
thus attain success through the greater established road,
which is none other than arrival to Him, while not turning
your attentions to other than Him, to be gifted with His pure
love, that you may sit upon the carpet of truthfulness in
the Presence of an All-Powerful Sovereign: Open your hearts
to listen to the Words of your Cherisher and Lover. For by
His guidance have the guided ones been guided by Him, so they
are the rightly guided, and whomever He allows to be misguided,
then there is no guiding helper able to direct him correctly.
To you now is the explication and detailed explanation of
the meanings of al-Fatihah [Q1] and of Juz Amma [Q78 to Q114]
in their shari’ah sense and their haqiqah sense.

The
Taste of the Love. "These are sayings that lead to
similar meanings about the fruits and the description of love,
because love cannot be expressed in any way by words or signs,
except by those who have tasted it. However the ones who taste
it do not speak of it, because they are so much a part of
it. Just like one who is intoxicated-if we asked him to give
a clear statement about the drink he has had, he will not
be able to do so until he wakes up. The difference between
he who is intoxicated and he who is a lover is that the first
is temporary and the second is eternal. As was said, 'The
drunk will wake up and the drink of love will keep you drunk
forever.' True limitation is only associated with a limited
structure with physical limitations, whereas this love has
no physical barrier."

Al-Wird
Ash-Shadhdhuliyyah. In order to know the spirit of
our Master, the Saint of Allah, may Allah have mercy upon
him, it is necessary to look into his Wazifa which we have
included in this book with the ritual ablution and prayer,
since it is an exercise of deep spiritual importance and strength
coming from the Spirit of the Prophet Muhammad, may peace
and blessings be upon him, to the heart of his saint, to give
light and knowledge of himself to all those who would follow
him in his way, and it is the only piece of writing from the
hand of Sidi `Abd as-Salam ibn Mashish which is available
for us to study. Our Shaykh, may Allah be pleased with him,
has unveiled for us, in his Explanation to the Wazifa many
of the hidden meanings of this revelation.

The Meaning
of the Names of Our Lord. In the Name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful bi-smi ‘llahi ar-rahmani ar-rahim.
The names by which Allah is known can be divided into categories.
Traditionally the first two categories are the names of the
essence (adh-dhat), such as Allah and ar-Rahman, and the names
of the qualities (as-safat) such as ar-Rahim and al-Bari. And
they can be divided further into names of the Mercy, and names
of the Majesty. But the name Allah called the Supreme Name stands
alone. There is a hadith which says, “To God belongs ninety-nine
names.” So that while any two lists add up to more than ninety-nine,
any one list is limited to this number. The names are revealed
directly in al-Qur’an, or from the meaning given in certain
passages, or they are names that are traditionally known, but
are not in al-Qur’an. Some names are found derived from the
Arabic grammar of the names in Al-Qur’an, but they are not widely
accepted, for example, al-Ghaffar from al-Ghafur. |

The Breath of the
Truth
a translation by Maryam Muhammad Abdullah
of nafahat al-haqq by Fatima al-Yashruti
I will speak about my Master in returning to the days of
my deeply happy childhood; for I was born and grew up in the
noble zawiyyah in the town of Aka and witnessed the shining
lights and heard all the knowledge and saw the standing, bowing
down and prostrating of those remembering Allah, “standing,
bowing and on their sides” in living with my Master,
my father (may Allah hallow his secret), both in his everyday
and his special life. And I am not able to bring to life the
beauty of what I saw and heard; nor am I able to describe
the Divine revelations which pervaded and were diffused from
the existence of his secret by the lights of those manifestations
of Muhammadan holiness.
This was the existence of the sublime Yashruti Breath which
never ceases to perfume the atmosphere of Sufi existence,
in the Breath of the Mighty, and the supreme and wonderful
horizon. The Messenger of Allah (salla allahu alayhi wa-salam)
said in the noble hadith, “Surely your Lord is in the
days of your time in the breath which you extend to Him.”
I have gathered together this holy fragrance from the ahadith
and wisdoms and warnings which were revealed to the heart
of my Master, my great father, and with which he favoured
and blessed the students of the Family of Allah, and with
which I had taken and nourished myself from the greatness
and might of the Promise (bay’ah) of the Family of Allah
– those who follow the Shadhdhuli Yashruti Path from
him, and who confirm it by their actions, and who travel on
it in the stations and states. For they bring together actions
and knowledge of both the Sacred Law (ash-shar¦’ah)
and the Reality, and who reach the clear victory, for they
are the sincere slaves of Allah.
Sidi Ali Nur ad-din al-Yashruti lived to be over a hundred
years of age. After his death the station of the Qutb and
Ghawth passed to his son Ibrahim (radiyallahu anhu). After
Sidi Ibrahim’s death it passed to Sidi Abdu-r-Rahman
Abu-l-Arish of Syria, who was the master of Sidi al-Jamal
ar-Rifa’i ash-Shadhdhuli who is the present Qutb and
Ghawth of the Shadhdhuli Path to Allah, and who lives in Jerusalem
in the Holy Land of Palestine, and who is a teacher at the
Aqsa Mosque.
