There are teaching passed down through the Tariqat, but put into lessons by Grandshaykh
Daghestani (quddas as-sirr al-'azeez)(radiw allaahu `anh) and passed on through Grandshaykh
Nazim (quddas as-sirr al-'azeez)(radiw allaahu `anh) and then passed on through our dedicated
deputies.
As there are secrets in our hearts that are not always known even to ourselves, we attach to the
success of Rasoolallaah (sal), for he is the best example with the best knowledge and prayer and
success. We are hoping to gain a share in that.
By that alliance, the heavenly powers come to perfect, finish and correct intentions we have and
actions we make according to Rasoolallaah' s (sal) purity and not our own. We trust not our own
motivations, which is most likely far short of being correct.
There are people who will call this polytheism (mushrik). But we are not praying to him (sal) as God,
rather we are asking him (sal) to ask for us in a better way, or guide and correct our intentions and
aspirations, and we are hoping to reap the benefits that, because of his (sal) timeless and
undiminishing grace (baraka). We ask as Allaahu ta'alaa carries out His (`azz wa jall) purposes
through His Chosen (Mustafa) and Unique (waheed) instrument that is the Emperor (Bad'u Sha')
which is administering all of everything in His (`azz wa jall) Name, In some meaningful way, we can
share, in sha' allaah.
Nawaitu Al-arba'een
The 40, a number used to indicate preparation and initiation into readiness. Many prophets were
required 40 days of preparation, but there are also other meanings for the abjad 40. One of them is
the cycle (ruka'il) of the Divine assembly members being always 40 in number, and taking 40 days to
finish one tawwaf of the kaba' ma'arifan. It is enough to say the the principle member of that is Medat
(sal), and he (sal) knows best how that works, and that is why we invoke it.

needed prayer-sajada) (Rasoolallaah maintained a ready state, in sajada)(we follow that example,

see if any trouble would come up they would have to adjust. It is a time of resting with another
heavenly group, rather than the earthly one. You enter your holy place, a haaram ash-shareef.

Nawaitu al-qar'at
This is the recitation of Qur'an. We can surely improve our Qur'an skills, but this is also that we are
constantly proclaiming to the world by our example, what we believe. What is in the heart will
eventually work it's way to the surface. This is also why it not good to befriend bad mannered people
or unbelievers. That dirtiness of the whisperings of shaytan ar-rajeem will penetrate into our
awareness, and perhaps into the heart as well. Then we experience the accidents from that bad
association with angry and straying people.

The `affiya is the state of well being, strength, and health. It means both physical and spiritual, and in
a word it means successful (falah). `Affiya also means integrated into, or an important part of. A
saheeh muslim would be one who is a part of the ummah and is participating as Allaah allows. In that
sense of `affiya, that saheeh, you are not being strangled by doubts and unhappiness and depression.
You not only have the strength, but you are willing to engage your faith to some useful end. This is the
freedom that the sunnah ar-Rasoolallaah (sal) brings when it is understood and practiced with utmost
care and intention.

Nawaitu as-salaat
The salaw is the prayer. There is no way to ever emulate the prayer of Rasoolallaah (sal) fully. There
is a secret in that because all the power given to creation comes from this one connecting Power. The
ability to make the dhiker of Awwal is only known to Rasoolallaah (sal), but in this alliance with him
(sal), we can get some understanding of what needs to be done and why. It is God that created, so it
is only God that can destroy. If you are to be successful, then you must understand that He (`azz wa
jall) must create that in you, and if you are to get rid of bad habits and sinful qualities of heart, then it
must Allaahu taa'allaah that must be destroyer for that. Yuhyee wa yumeet - jalla jalaalhu.
Rasoolallaah (sal) would be the one that is chosen to understand this the best, so that is our guide for
that understanding and result.

This is the recitation of Qur'an. We can surely improve our Qur'an skills, but this is also that we are

eventually work it's way to the surface. This is also why it not good to befriend bad mannered people
or unbelievers. That dirtiness of the whisperings of shaytan ar-rajeem will penetrate into our
awareness, and perhaps into the heart as well. Then we experience the accidents from that bad
association with angry and straying people.

saheeh muslim would be one who is a part of the ummah and is participating as Allaah allows. In that
sense of `affiya, that saheeh, you are not being strangled by doubts and unhappiness and depression.
You not only have the strength, but you are willing to engage your faith to some useful end. This is the
freedom that the sunnah ar-Rasoolallaah (sal) brings when it is understood and practiced with utmost
care and intention.

Nawaitu as-salaat
The salaw is the prayer. There is no way to ever emulate the prayer of Rasoolallaah (sal) fully. There
is a secret in that because all the power given to creation comes from this one connecting Power. The
ability to make the dhiker of Awwal is only known to Rasoolallaah (sal), but in this alliance with him
(sal), we can get some understanding of what needs to be done and why. It is God that created, so it
is only God that can destroy. If you are to be successful, then you must understand that He (`azz wa
jall) must create that in you, and if you are to get rid of bad habits and sinful qualities of heart, then it
must Allaahu taa'allaah that must be destroyer for that. Yuhyee wa yumeet - jalla jalaalhu.
Rasoolallaah (sal) would be the one that is chosen to understand this the best, so that is our guide for
that understanding and result.
