If we look at the world of today, we will find many institutions performing the first three functions. The last and important Prophetic chore is totally neglected. The result is that in the Muslims of today hypocrisy is widespread. We are Muslims by name. The true inner core of Islam which stands for peace, justice, mutual equality, respects amongst fellow human beings, appropriate rights for the females, deprived and the weak and justice in all spheres of life is nearly non existent.

The injunctions of Islam, the commands of Allah and His Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) in the form of “Shariya Islamia” is for all spheres of life i.e. prayer and prostration, earning and spending, social inter course, rule of law and legislation . It also guides us to be good human beings individually and norms of an ideal welfare state.

Now a days, a minute fraction of the Muslims, who try earnestly to practice religion are only devoting themselves to prayer and prostration. They don’t let their businesses their social relations and morals, be dictated by religious norms and dos and don’ts of the Quran+Sunnah-----Shariya-e-Islamia.

That is the reason Muslim have lost all respect and dignity which their ancestors had enjoyed in the past. Not a very long time hence, in the 17^th century AD, the history tells us,  in many communities and for that example in some parts of Indian Sub-continent, police would not entertain a complaint against a Muslim for the high morality which the community depicted. Earning by unfair means was a shameful activity and despised by all the Muslims at large. People would not give the hand of their daughter to a man who lived beyond his means.

When the religion lost its influence on inner core, the selfish inner core (Nafs) grew strong slowly and wordly desire over took the spiritual means. The Muslims lost their all charisma, respect and dignity. Then there arose the people who tried to kindle the love of the Creator which the spirit/soul originally had, and was never prepared to disobey and go astray.

Through experience it has been learnt that the love of the Creator, the warmth of passion is like charcoal. If you place a charcoal along with a burning charcoal it ignites all those put in its close proximity.

The noble Companions (Sehaba) of the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) learnt the extreme love of Allah, by enlightening the love of the Creator, through this means …… from heart to heart. Any body who came in the physical attendance of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) after accepting Islam was raised to the status of a Sehabi (worthy companion of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam). The grade of his belief (Eman) attained a summit, which all scholars of Ummah by consensus agree that no one till the day of Judgment can achieve. It is because the reflection of faith in the heart of the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) fell on the heart of Sehabi which enlightened his soul/spirit to the extent which is un-attainable by any other person in the absence of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) Similarly those who enjoyed the company of Shaba were termed as “Tabaeen” .Their purity of soul was only next to Sehaba kiram

The best time of all the times in this universe was when the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) honoured this world by His presence. As the time passed by from the best of all the eras till to-day, the worldly desires started to creep in to the hearts of the people and thus decline in the divine love of the Creator and weakening of the eternal relationship between the soul and Allah. The consequence was the drop off in the true spirit of Islam, the fear of Allah (Taqwa) self discipline, tolerance, sacrificing ones own interests over that of others, a balanced life so as to say in all spheres diminished to the level of near extinction. The people who followed Islam were split into two groups.

The first group was Muslims just by name; they would only follow a few Islamic chores at the time of marrying or death and would do away with their lives as per their desires and instincts. The second group claimed themselves as practicing Muslims and would concentrate on prayer and prostration only. The second group restricted Islam to quarter of religion. They did not let the religious principles govern their businesses, social inter course and their lives in general. The true spirit of Shariya-e-Islamia was lacking. The evil inner core was an abode of Satan and the worldly affections and desires over ruled their lives. The importance of Prayer and prostration (Ebadat) cannot be ignored, but if they do not improve upon our every day lives, are not cultivating in us the sense of responsibility, that we are answerable for all our deeds before Allah (Subhan a hu wa Ta’la) then the desired ends are for sure not being met.

          In such a situation, the true Islam which encompasses the whole life, all spheres as was portrayed by companions of the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) (Sehaba-e-Kram) and was set as an ideal, could be seen in a very few people .

Then arose a group of people, who were later called as “Sufis” or “Mystics” or “Saints” who diagnosed the problem. They said that the inner core, the heart, the soul had been rusted by over whelming worldly desires. The link to Allah had become either weak or non-existent. The result was that the Muslims only accepted those parts of Islam which suited them and those injunctions which collided with their interests were abandoned and ignored.

          These Sufia, pious people recommended certain treatment for cleansing the inner self, which were in line with Sharia e Islamia, derived from Quran and Sunnah. The primary was to have an earnest relationship with some God fearing person, who had adopted the religion in letter and spirit, and spend time in his company, so that the love and fear of Allah would get transferred from heart to heart. The second was certain Aazkar (Remembering of Allah by His names) which would serve as a seed of love of Allah in their hearts. This would cleanse the inner core of the satanic impurities which were distracting the heart and soul from obeying the commands of Allah (Subhan a hu WaTa’la), the Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam) and Sharia.

Thus developed different spiritual groups, by different leaders and different methodologies to cleanse the inner cores. The methodologies might be different but the aims and objectives were essentially the same i.e. to kindle the lamp of Allah’s love, so that adoption of Sharia e Islamia becomes dear and easy. 

           The Naqshbandi spiritual family is attributed to Sayyiduna Abu Bakar Siddique (Radi Allah un hu) the first caliph after Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam)

In this clan the main stay is on silent remembrance of Allah in the heart through imagination. The name, the personal name of Creator is Allah; other names are all His attributes. The ziker of Naqshbandia chain is remembrance of the Creator in the heart by His name repeating it calmly in solitude, Allah--- Allah--- Allah--- Allah--- Allah. The second important feature of Naqshbandia is spending some time in the company of some one who has been trained by a Shaikh a spiritual teacher and allowed to train other people.

           This web site is being developed as an introduction to the Naqshbandia chain with the hope it would benefit those who wish to spend their lives truly in the light of commands of Islam. They want to be in the foot steps of Sehaba-e-Keram.  The Commands of Sharia, dos and don’ts are agreed to and practiced in all spheres of life, because of the eternal Love of the Creator, so dear and near.

May Allah be pleased with us in the lives here, and grant forgiveness on the day of Judgment, May Allah take us in his Divine Care, Blessings in abundance be Upon His Prophet, the Sehaba, and all pious people of all spiritual chains, and on all the Ummah of the Prophet(Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam)

May Allah accept our humble efforts to spread this benevolent light of our religion Islam, and forgive our sins and follies by His ever lasting beneficence. AMEEN

Immense blessings be upon His Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alaihi Wa Sallam), His companions, his friends, his family and his Ummah. 

P.S. I have tried to be as brief as possible,  there are books in abundance written by scholars of higher educational and spiritual levels than this humble soul, one could benefit from them if need be.
