A person of etiquette is one enjoying good fortune and the other with no etiquette is devoid of good
fortunes: -
Amongst the people pursuing the path the primary lesson of the salook is practicing of etiquette. If etiquette
is there everything is there. Dealing the elderlies with etiquettes of respect is very vital. Of all forms and
postures of offering the other respect the highest manner in etiquettes is the kissing of the foot. The knaves
treat kissing of foot as offering of prostration and noterifying the same. May Allah bestow them good
thinking, it appears in a hadeeth that the actions depend upon the intentions no action lacking in intention
are acceptable by Allah. What is some person completely does a performance of acting of prostration with
no intention (i.e.niyat in specific manner) - it would amount to be a prostration to one other then Allah?
Should any person bow down in prostration before his elderlies or a peer considering him to be Allah, then
positively he is indulging in infidality (i.e.kufr).Otherwise more a disciple or a seeker of guidance, with
intention to offer eqtiquette, regard and respect bow to his perfected peer, more his own gradation shall be
elevated. The elderlies come up with things big. Ahl-e-Tareeq gives great importance to the etiquettes. The
respect and honour offered through his reply by the Hind-ul-valee on the proclaimation of truth by the
chieftain of the Auliyas Ghaus-e-paak (R.A.). “This foot of mine is upon the neck of all Allah’s valees”
demands through contemplation. He (R.A.) had simply to surrender his neck but it was due to the most
extreme degree of ettiquete that he put before Ghaus-e-Paak (R.A.) his auspicious head itself and
submitted before him in a state of sublime supplication respectful etiquette:” O my master! Take your
auspicious foot instead on my neck on the pupil of my eyes.” It is worth pondering a point that the moment
when Ghaus-e-Paak, May Allah sanctify secrets his pronounced:”this foot of mine” then it was Hind-ul-
Valee may Allah sanctify his scerets was first to present that performance of action of ettiquitte and
obedience that no one else ever present a performance of etiquette surpassing its finery. Rest of the
Auliyas had simply bowed there necks only. That is why today, on the surface of the earth after Ghausal
Azam Shaikh Mohiuddin Abdul Qadir Jeelani, may Allah sanctify his secrets the name of Khawja-e-Azam,
Ataay-e-Rasool, Sayed Mohiuddin Hasan Sanjari Ajmeri, may Allah sanctify his secrets shines in
popularity. “Allah does not see towards your faces and actions, rather he looks towards your heart only”.
O those who are leveling baseless allegation on peers! May Allah bestow you wisdom.
Understandings differ people to people. It takes time to gain comprehensiveness. The understanding one
believes to be understanding is not in fact an understanding. The understanding is something else. Should
you have grip to that follow that understanding, and then you are to achieve salvation
Mode of Action of a Perfected Peer: - O dear! A perfected peer is not a God, yet he is also not separate
from God. He every time remains engrossed in God i.e. he always keeps himself occupied in God’s
virtuous devotees. In submissiveness, supplication and himitity he stays perished in the intity of his Shaikh
(peer). It means he imagines himself to be a peer’s slave a dust down the foot of his peer and happens to
be proud of his indigene and not on his riches. “Indegence is my pride and indigence is sprouted out from
myself. To a destitute Fakir his indigence offices and he always remains planning about communicating his
indigence unto everyone. On such occasions when someone should give him respect, honour and
estimation, he does not consider all these prestige occurring to himself, rather, he decides to it his
perfected peer and this is the right mode to do. All spiritual guides hailing from the “What belongs to the
