There are people who are doing ‘Rabita’ or meditating on the khaliphas or representatives of Mouana Sheikh Nazim. They think that, as they have entered into the Naqshbandi Tariqat through a particular khalipha, and took bayyath through him, that they should follow this particular khalipha instead of following Moulana Sheikh Nazim. If you ask them, “Who is your sheikh?” They will answer with the name of the khalipha. These people are ignorant of the fact that there is only one Sheikh in the Naqshbandi Tariqat. They gave bayyath to Moulana Sheikh Nazim through that khalipha. If anyone does bayyath through a khalipa, he is doing bayyath only to Moulana Sheikh Nazim. Bayyath with Moulana Sheikh Nazim means taking the Oath of Allegiance to follow and take as his Sheikh, Moulana Sheikh Nazim. They cannot and should not follow anyone other than Moulana Sheikh Nazim. If they follow the khalipha, instead of following Moulana Sheikh Nazim, they will not receive any power, nor will they be rightly guided. Sheikh Adnan Kabbani and Sheikh Hisham Kabbani are the most senior and most experienced khaliphas of Moulana Sheikh Nazim and are now representing Moulana Sheikh Nazim. They were also students of the Great Sultan ul Awliya, Grandsheikh Moulana Abdullah Faiz Dagistani (ral). They are not the Sheikhs of the Naqshbandi Tariqat (in the sense that they should be followed), they are only connecting up people with Moulana Sheikh Nazim, when they give bayyath, and as such they should not be followed. Rabitha or meditation should be done only on Moulana Sheikh Nazim. Both Sheikh Hisham and Sheikh Adnan have clarified this issue over and over again. Still, there are some ignorant murids, who are meditating ( doing rabitha )on these khaliphas. This is also going against the teachings of the very khaliphas that they are meditating on and following. This misconception has lead to a lot of trouble, and people have become forgetful that they are the followers of Moulana Sheikh Nazim. We even see Murids taking sides and saying that they belong to this khalipha or the other. All this is wrong. All Naqshbandi murids in the Naqshbandi Haqqani Tariqat are today the followers of Moulana Sheikh Nazim only and they should do rabitha or connect up with Moulana Sheikh Nazim only. There are other khalipas, other than Sheikh Hisham or Sheikh Adnan who are also representing Moulana Sheikh Nazim and giving bayyath to people. We are sure that they too like Sheikh Adnan and Sheikh Hisham are instructing those who took bayyath from them to follow only Moulana Sheikh Nazim and not to follow them. It has become a practice among certain followers of Moulana Sheikh Nazim, who say that they are the followers of a particular khalipha and they even take sides against the other khaliphas of Moulana Sheikh Nazim. They think that Moulana Sheikh Nazim is inactive and defunct. This is so far away from reality as Moulana Sheikh Nazim is always in full command and control of all his Murids. It is he who is guiding everyone of his Murids and not the Khalifas. Some Murids are even fighting with each other on behalf of the khalipha that they support. They should stop this at once because there is only one Sheikh in the Naqshbandi Haqqani Tariqat and that Sheikh is Moulana Sheikh Nazim. All are followers of Moulana Sheikh Nazim and the khaliphas are only those who help them to connect up with Moulana Sheikh Nazim. Even if the khaliphas are preaching, they only preach what Moulana Sheikh Nazim preaches. They cannot and will not ever contradict Moulana Sheikh Nazim, as they too are dependent on Moulana Sheikh Nazim for their spiritual progress. We give below extracts from a speech by Sheikh Hisham Kabbani on this very important subject. This speech was given in Sri Lanka on Saturday the 22nd day of November 2008 at Colombo after Maghreb prayers. “I am not pretending to be a shaykh, first of all. I am not asking anyone to call me a shaykh and I am the worst between you, those who are present here. I am not claiming khalifa or deputy or anything. I am like you, I like to be a sheep, not to be a shepherd. Sheep never going to be asked anything. Shepherd is going to be asked everything. Those who like to be shepherds, let them be.” “As the association now they all have to be raised to the level of Mawlana Shaykh Sharafuddin and Grandshaykh and Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, because they have that secret. Not because of us, no we don’t have anything. But because we have been authorized on their behalf, so this majlis, this association is their association. This association is Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s association. He is the one that is responsible. We have no rights to say “We are the shaykh; I am your shaykh.” No right. If we say “I am your shaykh” or anyone says, “I am your shaykh.” Or anyone thinks that he took baya`…” “Many people they come and say “I took baya` from you.” No, no, not that is incorrect. If you think you took baya` from me you lost. We always have to tell them always, the baya`, we are only like a bridge, we are only like a car that takes you to your destiny, your goal, and leave you there. We are only a vehicle to take you to the presence of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. That is it. When you take baya`, your baya` is with him. Don’t ever say, "I took baya` to `Ali and `Ali is my shaykh.” Many people are falling into this problem. That is why sickness is spreading everywhere among Naqshbandis and representatives of Mawlana Shaykh. Because after a while they consider they are the shaykh. They don’t listen to anyone except if their "shaykh" is present. They don’t move except by permission of their so-called shaykh. That is a big problem.” “So we are thanking Allah that he made us with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim . Your shaykh is Mawlana Shaykh Nazim . Your baya` has to be to Shaykh Nazim ; your love has to be to Shaykh Nazim ; if you focus on someone else you are reducing your love. That is a big problem. There is no time now to explain it now, but when Shaykh Sharafuddin was explaining to Grandshaykh the power of Shah Naqshband , Grandshaykh, some of his love went to Shah Naqshband . And he was told by Shaykh Sharafuddin , “don’t do that.” And Shah Naqshband appeared to him at that time, and taught him how to have love to his Shaykh. And you can check it on sufilive.com we have over one thousand three hundred lectures there. So all of them live. I cannot give everything in one session. But check there. May Allah keep us all together under the banner of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim .” We also would like to give another powerful lecture made by Sheikh Hisham Kabbani on this same topic in Fenton, in the United States on the 2nd day of December 2008. We are giving this lecture verbatim below:- “In front of Allah Subhanahu wa taala and Prophet Seyyadina Muhammad (Sal) and Grandsheikh Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagistani (ral_) and Moulana Sheikh Nazim Al Haqqani, I am saying to you, to those who are hearing and to those who want to hear and to those who does not want to hear, that I am not someone that to make bayyath on me or to make meditation on me. The meditation is for Moulana Shiekh Nazim. The Bayyath is for Moulana Sheikh Nazim. If anyone does something other than that he is responsible and I am not responsible. I am clearing myself in front of Allah Subhana wa Taala, in front of Prophet (Sal) and in front of Moulana Sheikh Nazim. This is a very important point and I want everyone to understand it and to know it. I don’t want Moulana Sheikh to come up to me one day and say, “You are telling people to make bayyath to you!” Because I heard this from Moulana Sheikh one time. I not want to hear that. I don’t like anyone especially those who tells people put my picture and telling people to make meditation to that. I am not that one. Moulana Sheikh Nazim is that one. Grandsheikh Abdullah Faiz Dagistani is that one. But you have no right to do to grandsheikh. Your meditation is to Moulana Sheikh Nazim. Moulana Sheikh Nazim will do meditation on Grandsheikh (ral). You do with Moulana Sheikh Nazim. Be careful on this point. It is a very very very delicate point. Any mistake in that will throw this person outside the Tariqat. You don’t want to fall into this and I don’t want to fall into that. Our love and respect can be to everyone, with each other is ok. Love to each other is important but bayyath and meditation is with Moulana Sheikh Nazim. Sheikh Ismail in Damascus was very very hard to be sure that no one will make that mistake and Seyyadina Khalid Bagdadi was very happy with him. This is a very important point. Please make sure that you heard it. I see many people when you ask them who is your sheikh, they say that their sheikh is ‘X’. What is their sheikh is ‘X’? It must be Moulana Sheikh Nazim. They say, “Oh he took bayath with ‘X’ sheikh.” What is bayyath with ‘X’ sheikh? He is nothing. He is only a vehicle. Moulana can change any vehicle he wants. Its like a car. When its old we throw it and will bring a new car. All these khaliphas are old now, throw them and bringing new one. Bring new healthy one, no need for old engine. Bring new one........ Don’t let your body vibrate except with the love of your Sheikh or the love of the Prophet (sal) or the love of Allah Subhana tala. These representative or these khaliphas think that we are questioning them about their kilafa, make sure that we are not questioning them about their representation but we are only saying to be sure not to call people to think that you are their Sheikh because I am seeing and I am seeing that this problem everywhere because they say that, “My Sheikh is ‘X’. Like for a example let us say that there is a sheikh called Hassan or Hussain or Ahmed or Zaid or whatever name, lets say Zaid because Moulana does not have a representative called Zaid, or they will think that I am speaking about some……. This Sheikh Zaid, people come and say we took bayyath with Sheikh Zaid. What is this? You have to say that you took bayyath with Sheikh Nazim because that Sheikh Zaid is nothing except a vehicle. A vehicle to Allah Subhana wa tala the Prophet (sal) and the Awliya ullah. May Allah Subhana huwa tala guide us to this truth so that we will be able to see what is correct and what is wrong. That is why he kept me and to say that this is very important. So don’t say on judgment day that I did not say this. I said this. Don’t say in front of Moulana Sheikh Nazim that I did not say this. I said it. You are responsible and if you are doing other than that it is your problem. Assalamu Alaikum.” We are giving the link to this video lecture at sufilive.com below :- |
