"The Saints may speak about Wahdat i Wujud. We Naqshbandi’s also have the Zikr - La Mowjooda Illallah which means that there is no existence but Allah. Only Allah Almighty was in existence and even now also there is none else in existence but Him. Every learned person knows that this World came into existence for some reason and also for some reason it will disappear and vanish. This is our belief. At one time there was nothing in existence and there will come a time when once again there will be nothing in existence. Mumkin ul Wujud means the possibility for reasons in existence. What is the reason for this Universe to appear in existence? It is only Iradathullah. Inna Ma Amruhu Iza Aradha Shayyan Yakoolulahu Kunfayakoon. This is from Surah Yaseen. Above all reason the only reason is His Will. He just said, “BE” and the Universe came into existence. Everything in existence does not have any real existence. “Wahdat i Wujud”, means that only Allah Almighty is “Existence”. - Shaykh Nazim

Sufi Biographies and Stories Introduction by A. J. Arberry from his translated book Muslim Saints and Mystics Episodes from the Tadhkirat al-Auliya’ (Memorial of the Saints) by Shaykh Farid al-Din Attar. Sufism is the name given to the mystical movement within Islam; a Sufi is a Muslim who dedicates himself to the quest after mystical union (or, better said, reunion) with his Creator. The name is Arabic in origin, being derived from the word suf meaning “wool”; the Sufis were distinguishable from their fellows by wearing a habit of coarse woollen cloth, in time when silks and brocades had become the fashion of the wealthy and mundane-minded, symbolic of their renunciation of worldly values and their abhorrence for physical comforts. The ascetic outlook and practice, an indispensable preparation to mystical communion, characterized the life not only of Mohammad himself but of many of his earliest followers. Even when the rapid spread of Islam and the astonishing military conquests of neighbouring ancient kingdoms brought undreamed-of riches to the public exchequer, not a few of the leading men in the new commonwealth withstood all temptation to abandon the austere life of the desert, and their example was admired and emulated by multitudes of humbler rank. Nevertheless with the passage of time, and as Islam became increasing secularized consequent upon further victories and rapidly augmenting complications of state craft, the original ascetic impulse tended to be overwhelmed in the flood of worldly preoccupation. Farid al-Din Attar, author of the book Tadhkirat al-Auliya here presented in an abridged translation, is to be accounted amongst the greatest poets of Persia; his dimensions as a literary genius increase with the further investigation of his writings. Below are the biographies of Sufis and Saints, mostly as accounted by Shaykh Faridudin Attar in his book Tadhkirat al-Auliya : ● Mevlana Jalaludin Rumi ● Imam Ghazali ● Farid ud Din Attar ● Rabia Basri ● Mansoor al Hallaj ● Hasan of Basra ● Bayazid Bestami ● Al-Fozail ibn Iyaz ● Habib al-Ajami ● Malek ibn Dinar ● Ebrahim ibn Adham ● Habib al-Ajami ● Beshr Ibn al-Hareth ● Dhol-Nun al-Mesri ● Abd Allah Ibn al-Mobarak ● Shaqiq of Balkh ● Dawud al-Tai ● Al-Mohasebi ● Ahmad Ibn Harb ● Hatem al Asamm ● Sahl Ibn Abd Allah al-Tostari ● Maruf al-Karkhi ● Sari al-Saqati ● Yahya Ibn Mo‘adh ● Shah Ibn Shoja ● Yusof Ibn al-Hosain ● Abu Hafs al-Haddad ● Abol-Qasem al-Jonaid ● Amr Ibn Othman ● Abu Sa‘id al-Kharraz ● Abul-Hosain al-Nuri ● Abu Othman al-Hiri ● Ibn Ata ● Somnun ● al-Termedhi ● Khair al-Nassaj ● Abu Bakr al-Kattani ● Ibn Khafif ● Ebrahim al-Khauwas ● Al-Shebli Click Our Website Link: http://bit.ly/2FGJpPd

Hazrat Sultan Bahu R.A Love flourishes in the heart in which glows the Name of God. The love of God is the fragrance that even a thousand wrappings cannot hold. Or like a river that cannot be stopped in its course. My Friend is in me, in my Friend am I – there is no separation between us........

In Sufism, it is love that guides and paves the seekers’ path to union with God. Through the intoxication of love, Sufis learn to let go of their ego and open their heart to the truth that binds all creation. In reaching for the essential nature of this divine love, the Sufi poets evade fixed ideas, embrace paradox and turn to intricate metaphor and allegory that ring more truthful that the everyday reality that blinds us to the ineffable experience of love and the divine. Sufi poetry is delivered in song, music, written and spoken form in cultures across the world. The Persian poets Rumi, Hafiz, Shaikh Farid, Farid al-Dun Attar, Baba Buleh Shah,Kabir Sahib, Nanak Sahib are still as relevant today as they were when they were originally penned, speaking directly to the heart of the seekers and lovers everywhere. Here we offer a selection from the Sufi poetry that takes you to heaven of sufism...... *********************************************************************** Please Click the Link of our website for several tracks from renowned Sufi and Folk artists from India and Pakistan.
