Sahaba - The Blessed

At the beginning of the book (The Blessed) superiority of Ashâb of our prophet, Muhammad ´alayhissalâm, is explained along with how unjust and ignorant are those who defame Ashâb-ı-kirâm. Besides, the meaning of ijtihâd is explained. In the part of cautioning, an answer is given to the book (Hüsniyye) written by an enemy of Islam. In another part, biographies of great savants of Islam - hadrat Imâm-ı Rabbâni and hadrat Sayyed Abdülhakîm-ı Arvâsi - are explained. In the part Two Apples of the Eye of Muslims superiority of hadrat Abû Bakr and hadrat Omar is explained; in the part The First Fitna in Islam events between Ashâb-ı-kirâm are explained beautifully from the pen of hadrat Imâm-ı Rabbâni Ahmad Fârûkî Sarhandi who explains that to love all of Ashâb-ı-kirâm is a fundamental condition of being Ahl-i-sunnat.

emiss in [spreading the Sharî’at, which is called] amr-i-ma’rûf and<br />

nahy-i-munkar, and to resuscitate those commandments of the<br />

Sharî’at which people have forgotten about. In case some kashfs<br />

and other spiritual states occur in our heart, we should not tell<br />

anyone about them. <strong>The</strong>se states and dreams are not dependable.<br />

What is the use of a person’s dreaming himself as, say, a Sultan or<br />

the chief of Awliyâ? What is of value is to attain these things as<br />

one is awake. However, valuable as it is, what is its use, either?<br />

Will it save one from torment in grave or in Hell? A wise person<br />

will not attach any importance to such things. He will try to do<br />

things which Allâhu ta’âlâ approves of. He will hold fast to the<br />

blessing of hubb-i-fillâh (love for the sake of Allah) and bughd-ifillâh<br />

(enmity for the sake of Allah). [First of all, it is necessary to<br />

learn the creed of Ahl as-Sunnat and the teachings of the Sharî’at,<br />

to adapt your belief to that creed and to adhere to the Sharî’at.]<br />

FIRST VOLUME, 178 th LETTER<br />

I pray so that we will not deviate from the path followed by our<br />

fathers and grandfathers, who were true Muslims. <strong>The</strong> true path,<br />

the path to salvation, is the path they followed and also taught in<br />

their books. O my brother! We are living in the latest time.<br />

Religious knowledge is on the decrease. <strong>The</strong>re has been a general<br />

slackening in obeying the Sharî’at. Sunnats have been abandoned,<br />

and bid’ats have been spread far and wide. [<strong>The</strong> masonic<br />

organizations of infidelity established by British agents and priestly<br />

missionaries, propagated with fallacious books, supported with<br />

monstrous amounts of money and weaponry, and in cooperation<br />

with heretical groups of soi-disant Muslims called Râfidîs and<br />

Wahhâbîs, are waging a universal smear campaign against the true<br />

Muslims called Ahl as-Sunnat.] In this time of obscurity, when<br />

unbelief and heresies are so widespread, it is the primary duty of<br />

the descendants of true Muslims to learn their religion, (Islam),<br />

from books written by the scholars of Ahl as-Sunnat and to spread<br />

these books everywhere. It is the most valuable work to resuscitate<br />

forgotten religious teachings. Work round the clock to learn the<br />

teachings of the Sharî’at and to publicize them. Do not go into<br />

politics. Pray continuously and call upon Allâhu ta’âlâ for help!<br />

[We are slaves of Allâhu ta’âlâ. We have to do our duties as His<br />

slaves. For doing so, we have to have a correct belief (îmân) and<br />

obey the Sharî’at. Do not think even for a moment of having your<br />

heart’s sight opened and being able to see genies, angels and spirits,<br />
