Question:

I wish a long life to Maulana Shaykh Nazim, I love him sincerily, He is my Master…but I would like to know what is the “Passing of the Secret of the Golden Chain”….is it a ritual in wich the Grandsheikh gives power to his successor if he has to die?….And, in that case, what happens to the Ghauth, the Qutub and so on…? Do they change (changing the Grandsheikh)? Or do they remain the same persons?…I hope to see the Mahdi, sure, but I am very interested in knowing the way the Tariqa had gone on during 14 centuries….I know I am not showing proper “adab“, but it is a topic never treated before on this beautiful site, I think….Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Brothers and Sisters !!!

Answer:

Shaykh Hisham Kabbani wrote, in Classical Islam and the Naqshbandi Sufi Order:

Shaykh Nazim brought Grandshaykh’s body back into the mosque and prayed janaza over him again. Then he ordered us all to go break our fast. He buried him with his own hands. When he lifted the shroud from his face, we smelled the sweet perfume of sandalwood, amber and musk the like of which we had never smelled before. Then Shaykh Nazim asked us to go out. Only my brother and I stayed, watching from the window to see what was happening inside.

He stood at the head of the grave, as if in prayer. Then in the blink of an eye, Shaykh Nazim disappeared. This event added an extraordinary surprise to our previous surprises. There were no words to express our feelings. Fifteen minutes passed, and suddenly we saw Shaykh Nazim appear in the same place from which he had disappeared. Then we ran to the door as he came out. He said, “What! Still here? You didn’t break your fast? Never mind, my company is better!” We went down to break our fast with him. Shaykh Nazim returned that night to Beirut, and took a plane back to Cyprus.

Question:

Asalamualikum

I have 3 Ques:

1) I have practiced the Awrad everyday, but never went to any Dzikir gatherings, I am ashamed to say this but recently I’ve committed a major Sin, am I out from the Tarikah.

2) Then, recently I had a dream where I was in a Dzkir Session with Sheikh Hisham, I was at a corner in the front row facing him, a person who was sitting together with Sheikh Hisham invited me to be alongside them, facing the crowd but I declined . Do let me know what it means.

3) Can you point me to Dzikir Center in Singapore,

Wasalam

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

1) See the Post “What breaks baya`“.

2)  That is a shaytanic human being who is trying to prop up your ego by making you feel self-important in order to distract you from the Shaykh.

3) contact Shaykh Ibrahim, authorized representative of Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani in Singapore.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Regarding Tayy al-Lisan, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani gives a hint how to achieve it in a suhbat, dated March 29, 2009:

Allah is not waiting for us to make salawat on the Prophet (s). He ordered us to make salawat, but he and his angels are doing salawat in every moment. By Allah’s orders angels are yusalloon wa la yazaaloon – they are praising and not stopping. They are not in need of our doing salawat on the Prophet (s).

I will leave that with you. That is the code.

I know some people – don’t smile and don’t laugh – because I have to take example and you have to take example. I saw people who are reading 1 million salawat on the Prophet (s). That is by means of tayy al-lisan. Allah will fold your tongue. There are people with tayy al-lisan. That is because Allah put light on their tongue. When the light of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) moves, it traverses the whole heavens. They do salawat even when they are talking with people they are doing salawat in their heart in spite of that.

For some more information about tayy al-lisan, see the Post “Darood shareef fast“.
