Stories of the Prophets
as told by the Master in his Zawiyyah in 1980
Sidi Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Jamal ar-Rifa’i ash-Shadhdhuli
Stories of the Prophets: Revised, corrected and made beautiful for Sidi.
These stories are lessons for us and stations of the way. Sidi says, “It is now your chance. He created you to be His beloved and He holds your hand and gives you the branch of His word. For that reason be strong, be patient and take the teaching from the beloved prophets.” Why did Allah send the prophets, and why did He tell the story of every prophet? To reveal how every prophet met with difficulty. The prophet does not stop, and nothing forbids him to walk, no matter what he meets. Allah says, “If all the people in the world meet you and forbid you walking to Allah, do not care, but continue. If you love Me, cut across these veils, break these walls and navigate these pictures because your Beloved is behind them.”
There is a deep meaning in every story.
2019 – The Spirit’s Path to Joy
The Spirit’s Path to Joy
by Sidi Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Jamal ar-Rifa’i ash-Shadhdhuli
This book is dedicated to all those who follow our beloved guide to the Reality of his Way, the Spirit’s Path to Joy. Sidi calls to Allah, “O Allah, bring them to be Your khalifah and forgive them. Call upon their nafs with the order, ‘Return to your Lord.’ Guide them with the tajalli of Your Beauty to the presence of Your Majesty.” And he says to us, “O my beloveds, O sincere seekers, O intelligent seekers of the divine love, I have explained to you what you need to start your journey, from the lowest of the low of human nature to the highest of the high in the ranks of those who are nearest to their Lord. I have given you ample explanation and transparent clarification. I would like your end to be the musk that embellishes the holy spirits. When the holy spirits smell the fragrance of the gentle breezes of the Haqq, from this source, it drives them to arrive at His presence. These fragrances become proof against the lowly ones because they are not capable of doing what the seeker needs to do. The seeker needs to act according to the realities of what is described in all the revealed Books, and Allah is the One who provides success and help.

July 2016 – Al-Wadhifatu-S-Salaatu-l-Mashishiyyah
This is among one of the first teachings given to us by our Guide. It connects us, from our first meeting with him, to his spirit and to being carried on the Path of the Unity for the rest of our lives. This is the way of the Unity with our Guide, our masters, and our beloved Prophet Muhammad (salla allaahu ‘alayhi wa-salaam). Without this connection there is no walking for the student. He goes through his brothers and sisters and through his Guide to meet him face to face in the world of the Unity to be He without separation. Death is true only by virtue of our separation from the Path that carries us to the Secret of his Presence.
This book has been stitch bound for your easy lay-flat use and durability. An audio CD of our beloved Guide Sidi reciting the wadhifa 40 years ago is also included in this addition.
