Naqshbandi Order

Ali al-Murtaza.

May peace and blessings be upon the noble Evliya-e-Kiram, especially upon the Mashaikh of the Osmanli Naqshbandi Haqqani Tarikat.

And may peace and blessings be upon the Honored Sultans of the House of Osman, the Protectors of the Shariat and the Defenders of the Sunnah, the Holy Ottomans.

O Believers, we owe endless thankfulness and gratitude to our Lord Allah SWT.

O those ones, believers who want peace, those who want satisfaction, those who want to escape from depression and anxiety and the sadness and the misery and the cruelty of this dunya, run, don't walk, run to join the caravan of the Evliya who are walking in the caravan of Rasulallah .

He is leading the caravan back to our homeland.

And Sheykh Maulana is saying, The Naqshbandi order is taking people in a direction where their destination in the end will be Paradise.

It is the way of the Prophets in the Evliya.

And so the Sheikh Ahmed goes to mention that these groups that they were found amongst them in the, the, uh, Jama'at Tabligh are four.

The Naqshbandiya, the Naqshbandis, the Sahrudiyya, the Qadiriyya, now, and the Jashitiyya.

And so this individual, Muhammad Ilyas, he was upon, yani, this as I mentioned, this way of the Sufiya to the extent that he made bay'ah, yani he pledged allegiance to what they refer to the Sufi Sheikh.

Now, Rashid al-Qankawi.

This is the thing, Professor, because I've been studying, I've been interviewing people, Muslims in Chechnya, Najbandi, Sufis, Muslims in China.

And actually, in China, it was similar, where They developed two different strands of Naqshbandi, what they call Khufiya, or the hidden, who don't like to come up and talk about these things.

They have secret meetings, gatherings.

And the Zahiri, the younger generation who got tired of being secret all the time.
