tariqah

Address by Shaykh Said Afandi al-Chirkawi ad-Daghestani at majlis of alims in Chirkey village mosque, Dagestan, Russia.

Speech by Shaykh Said Afandi al-Chirkawi on the Ulama Majlis in Chirkey on January, 1, 2005.

We would like to bring to reader’s attention a conversation our reporter held with most respectable ustaz Murshid of Naqshbandi tariqah Shaykh Abdul Jalil Afandi ad-Dagestani.

Mahmood Afandi (may Allah sanctify his soul), great shaykh, Qutb, Murshid of the Naqshbandi tariqah was born approximately in 1810, in the village of Almalo (Dagestani village, now Azerbaijani territory).

In his youth he served as a clerk at khans Danial Sultanali and his relative Hajji Agabekov. They both were admired by the talents and wit of Mahmud Afandi(may Allah sanctify his soul).

Mawlid sermon by Shaykh Said Afanfi al-Chirkawi on the night Shaykh Muhammad al-Bukhari was born, in village Chirkey, Dagestan.

‘Nur ul-Islam’ newspaper published a letter by Abdulatip to his father. Abdulatip, Najmuddin Gotsinski’s brother, was a great saint. In his letter he tells his father: “Without going to the Tariqa ustaz, it is difficult to remember Allah often.” I personally saw the proof to this.
No matter what you are told, I bestow on you: never leave the Tariqa. Whoever leaves it, will end up on the wrong track.

Sermon by Shaykh Said Afandi al-Chirkawi in the village of Lower Kazanische, Dagestan

Some people think we do not recognize Abdurahman Sughuri. But who really wants to know the truth, he knows; and who does not, will never do. How can we reject him? Take for example a tree trunk. The trunk has branches. All branches grow on the same tree, and there is no difference between them. Some people collect the fruit on this branch, and the others collect on the different branch. They keep to their branches and do not swap them.

Sermon by Shaykh Said Afandi al-Chirkawi | Upper Kazanische | 20 Aug 2005

Dear Jamaat, dear brothers in faith, may Allah accept our present-day Majlis. There is a well-known hadith, which says that in the afterlife we will find those who we loved in this world. There is hardly a person who did not love Sayfulla-Qadi (may Allah bless his soul). InshaAllah-Rahman, we hope that by the grace of Allah we will all get together in Akhirat under Liwaul Hamd, the banner of the Prophet (PBUH) just like here.

Ahmad Zaruk said: “Sufism has more than 2000 definitions, but all of them have the same key point that is a selfless, sincere appealing to and serving Allah”. The pillar of Sufism is heart cleansing of worldly passions and its backbone is person’s relations with the God Almighty. A Sufi is someone whose heart is open to Allah and whose deeds are for the Almighty’s sake.

Origin of the word Sufism

Dear brothers,

Frankly speaking, ‘alims have pleasantly surprised us today to the extent that no more things left to discuss.
