<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Before Baye Niasse
(RA), Mawlana Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) had also went against certain Maliki
practices in preference of the most perfect Muhammadan Sunnah. The great Shaykh
Abu-Bakr Atiq (RA) mentioned in his book <i>Manahil al-Rashad</i> that Mawlana
Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) had also prayed with <i>Qabd </i>(folded
hands) in Algeria for a period. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
Nevertheless, on the whole, Shaykh Ahmad Tijani (RA) and Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse (RA)
were Malikis, like all Sunni Muslims who adhere to one of the four <i>madh-habs</i>.
They did not break this rule and declare themselves free of affiliation to any <i>madh-hab</i>.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As for us <i>Murids</i>;
we are not required to become Malikis in order to be good Tijanis. Our great Tijani
scholars like Shaykh Ahmad Sukayrij (RA) and Shaykh Muhammad al-Hafiz al-Misri
(RA) have clearly stated in their books that a Tijani murid is not required to
become a Maliki, if he is following another <i>madh-hab</i>. There are hundreds
of thousands of Tijanis in Indonesia who are Shafi'i. Others are Hanafi, and
even Hanbali.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
However, we Tijanis should indeed follow our Masters in the preferred Prophetic
Sunnahs they highlighted and emphasized on, even if it goes against our
practiced <i>madh-hab</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">For example, Mawlana
Shaykh al-Tijani (RA) strongly recommended us to recite the <i>Basmalah </i>loudly
before the <i>Fatihah</i>. This is against the Maliki and Hanafi <i>madh-habs</i>,
but we must follow our Shaykh (RA) in this. Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) ordered his
(Maliki) followers to pray with folded hands (<i>Qabd</i>). So Maliki Tijanis
have to do that, even if it goes against the mainstream Maliki position of
praying with your hands on the sides (<i>Sadl</i>). <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Of course, this
must be done with wisdom and avoiding unnecessary <i>Fitnah</i> in your
community. New <i>murids</i> must not be forced into this. They must first
realize the <i>Maqam</i> of Shaykh Ibrahim (RA). They themselves will want to
follow him in all matters thereafter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">When Shaykh
Ibrahim (RA) was inspired by Allah (SWT), Rasul-Allah (SAW) and Shaykh
al-Tijani (RA) to command the people to pray with folded hands, many traditional
Malikis in West Africa vehemently opposed him. They even said to
him: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:center"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><br>

So Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) replied:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:center;

Mahy Cisse told us once that Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) had also wished to
pray with <i>Qabd </i>but was not given the permission then as he had
other affairs to see to, as well as the fact that his following in Fas and
Morocco was not large enough to bring about such a major change. Everything has
it’s time; and it is the Shaykh al-Tijani (RA) who ordered Shaykh Ibrahim (RA)
to revive this Sunnah among the Malikis.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Other Maliki

include Imam Ibn Abd-al-Barr, Sidi Ahmad bin Idris, Sidi Muhammad bin Ali

Pillars of the Faith are five, and the greatest of these is Salat (Prayer),
because it was prescribed in the Heavens (unlike other commandments) due to its
loftiness & greatness in the sight of Allah. Indeed, Allah has prescribed
special timings for these prayers and a Caller was appointed to remind
believers of it so that the slave (of Allah) does not neglect its performance
on time. As without the Timing and the Call, it would be delayed until all
Prayers would fall in one time, and that would result in tiredness and fatigue.

if you hear the Caller of Allah (calling to Prayer), then remember that you are
but runaway slaves from your Master. So return back to your Master, purifying
yourselves from all thoughts (other than Him), and fulfilling His rights. And
when you commence your Prayer and say ‘Allahu Akbar’ then know that it’s
meaning by the masses is ‘<i>Allah is greater than all others’</i>. However for
the People of Allah, the ‘Other’ is non-existent, so the meaning of ‘Allahu
Akbar’ for them is ‘<i>Allah is greater than every Takbir from every person</i>’.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:

further on the reasoning behind <i>Sujud</i> (prostration) being the closest of
postures to Allah, Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) states that this is because normally a
Human Being places his feet on the earth while walking or his thighs while
sitting or his body while sleeping. But in <i>Sujud</i>, he places the noblest
part of his body - his head - on the Earth, out of submission to its Creator. That
is why he is closest to the Almighty during that position!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;text-align:justify;line-height:

It is from the most spiritual places in the world.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>I had the honor of making the Jum'ah Salah in the Aqsa and the holy Wazifah under the blessed Rock (Sakhrah), from where our Prophet (SAW) went on Mi'raj!</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>I also visited the Haram al-Ibrahimi where our father Abraham is buried, the birthplace of al-Masih Esa Ibn-Maryam (AS) in Bethlehem and the Masjid of Sayyidina Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) there as well.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>One must salute the Palestinian people for their Sabr and Resistance against a most vicious and brutal enemy. Allah yarzuqhum al-Nasr ala man Aa'daahum, wa-'s-Sabr ala Balwaahum.

Everything that is happening in the Zahir is a reflection of something going on in the Batin al-Amr.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Because the nafs, hubb al-dunya, Asabiyyah Jahiliyyah, Zulm and Fasad have taken over our hearts in such a way as never before, therefore the Zionist Occupiers (who are the personification of all of that) have taken our al-Quds, which is our physical heart.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>The real solution therefore, is not ranting and raving and political plotting, but the overall Tazkiyah of the Qalb of this wounded Ummah.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>That is what our Master, Shaykhuna al-Hassan and all other Awliya-Allah and true Ulama are busy with, as they know this secret. Once our hearts return to Allah, Jerusalem will also return to Islam. At this moment, we don't even deserve it. </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Jerusalem needs men with purified hearts such as Sayyidna Umar (RA), not dunya-loving politicians who are slaves of their lower selves and miles away from the Hal and Qal of Sayyidina Muhammad (SAW).</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Last year, when the Zionists wanted to destroy the Aqsa, a noble Muqaddam and Sharif lady from the Tariqah saw Mawlana Rasul-Allah (SAW) and all the Anbiya guarding the Aqsa in a circle.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>She asked him if the Aqsa would ever be destroyed? </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>He replied:</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>"At the moment, we Prophets are protecting it, but Allah can do whatever He wants".</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>The Jihad will continue around Bayt al-Maqdis till the Day of Judgment, as the authentic Hadith states.</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Sayr al-Qalb is the last Diwan of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse (RA).

</a></div><br></div><p>Sayyidina al-Shaykh <em>al-‘Arif bi-Llah</em> Abū-Hāmid Muhammad al-Arabī bin Muhammad al-Sā’ih al-Sharqī al-Umarī was born in the ancient city of Meknes, Morocco, in 1229 (1814), to a family who were direct descendants of Sayyidinā Umar al-Fārūq ibn al-Khattāb, may Allah be pleased with him.<br></p><p>He was a renowned nineteenth-century Moroccan scholar of Hadīth, Maliki Fiqh, Tasawwuf and Arabic poetry. His teachers included men like <em>al-Faqih al-Muhaddith</em> Sidi Abd-al-Qādir al-Kawhan, <em>al-‘Allāmah</em> Muhammad al-Hādi Bādu, Shaykh al-Sharīf Walīd al-Irāqi and other savants. He also exchanged <em>Ijāzahs</em> with many famous North African scholars.</p><p>Moreover, <em>al-Wali al-Sālih</em>, Sīdī al-Arabī bin al-Sā’ih was one of the greatest Tijāni Saints of his time. He took the Tijāni Tarīqah from accomplished spiritual masters such as Sīdī Abd-al-Wahhāb al-Ahmar and Mawlay Muhammad bin Abu’n-Nasr al-Alawi of Fez, and the <em>Qutb</em> Sīdī Ali al-Tamāsīni of Algeria, all of whom were venerated <em>Muqaddams</em> of the Muhammadan Saint Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijāni (R.A.).</p><p>Renowned as a friend of Allāh, countless seekers approached him to take the Way. Among these were men who later on became great spiritual masters themselves.</p><p>Sīdi al-Arabi also established a beautiful Tijāni Zāwiyah in Rabat that became a well-known center of Islamic knowledge and spirituality and remains so till today. It is also from these few Zāwiyahs which have preserved the traditional Moroccan <em>Fāsi</em> style of reciting the blessed <em>Qasīdat al-Burdah</em>.</p><p>His greatest service to the Tarīqah was authoring the masterpiece called <em>Bughyat al-Mustafīd</em> which became one of the major source-books of Tijāni Sufism. The work was a detailed commentary on the Sufi Poem called<em> Munyat al-Murīd</em>, written by the Mauritanian Tijāni master, Shaykh Ahmad Tijāni bin Sīdī Bāba al-Alawi al-Shinqītī.</p><p>Due to his mastery of the sciences of <em>Sharī’ah</em> and <em>Haqīqah</em>, as well as deep understanding of the Tijani Path, Sīdī al-Arabi’s works became essential reference works for later Tijānis.</p><p>Sīdī al-Arabī also mastered the works of <em>al-Shaykh al-Akbar</em> Muhyi’ddīn Ibn-Arabi and quotes from them extensively in his own works.</p><p>The <em>Bughyat al-Mustafīd</em> is a brilliant exposition of <em>Tasawwuf</em> and has gone through numerous prints, the best one being the 2002 edition by the Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah of Beirut. The poem <em>Munyat al-Murīd</em> can be read on this site: <a href="http://www.nafahat7.net/" target="_blank">www.nafahat7.net</a></p><p>Here are two quotes from the celebrated <em>Bughyah</em>. Explaining the <em>Wirds</em> (litanies) that disciples of the Sufi Orders recite after gaining permission from their Shaykhs, he writes:</p><blockquote><p>“The reality of the <em>Awrād</em> is that they are contracts and commitments that Allāh has taken from His servants through the Shaykhs. Therefore, he who has honored the Shaykhs and stayed true to his contract and fulfilled his commitments will gain the goodness of both Worlds. Allāh most High says: ‘O Ye who Believe! Fulfill your contracts’ (<em>Surat</em><em> al-Maidah</em>: 1). And He has said: ‘Among the believers are men who have been true to the contract they made with Allah’ (<em>Surat</em><em> al-Ahzab </em>: 23). And he who makes little of the Shaykhs, and neglects the contracts and commitments (he made), then that will be the cause of his <em>zaygh</em> (deviation from the Straight Path) and the puncturing of his boat (i.e. his destruction). Allāh most High says: ‘It is deeply abhorrent to Allah that you should say what you do not do’ (<em>Surat</em><em> al-Saff </em>: 3).</p></blockquote><p>Explaining the <em>Maqām</em> (spiritual rank) of <strong><em>Khātam al-Wilāyah al-Muhammadiyyah</em></strong> (Seal of Muhammadan Sainthood), which Tijanis attribute to Shaykh Sīdi Ahmad al-Tijāni, he writes:</p><blockquote><p><em>The meaning of his (Shaykh Sīdi Ahmad al-Tijāni) being the </em><strong><em>Khātam </em></strong><strong>(Seal) of the rank of <em>al-Wilāyah al-Muhammadiyyah</em></strong> (Muhammadan Sainthood) is that none will appear in that rank in the (complete) way that he appeared, therefore, he is the Seal of the complete manifestation of that rank, and not (the seal of) the rank itself.</p></blockquote><p>Quite a few scholars authored separate works on Sīdi’s al-Arabi’s life and intellectual and spiritual achievements, such as the Moroccan historian Shaykh <em>al-Faqīh</em> Muhammad al-Hajūjī who authored <em>al-Azhār al-Atirat al-Rawā’ih fī al-Ta’rīf bī Mawlāna al-‘Arabī bin al-Sā’ih</em>, and the contemporary Moroccan Tijāni research scholar Dr. al-Sharīf Muhammad al-Rādi Gannoun al-Hasanī al-Idrīsī who authored <em>al-Misk al-Fa’ih bi-Dhikr ba’d Manāqib Sīdī al-‘Arabī bin al-Sā’ih</em>, and Shaykh al-Arabī bin Abd-Allāh al-Wazzānī. One of the foremost representatives of Sidi al-‘Arabi b. Sa’ih’s legacy in contemporary Morocco is the distinguished Professor Abdelaziz Benabdallah, who has also authored a comprehensive work concerning Ibn Sa’ih and the <em>Bughyat al-Mustafid</em>, which has been entitled, <em>Le Soufisme Afro-Maghrebin aux XIXè et XXè Siècles </em>(available online at <a href="http://www.abdelaziz-benabdallah.org/oeuvre_soufisme.htm">www.abdelaziz-benabdallah.org/oeuvre_soufisme.htm</a>). The biography of Ibn Sa’ih can also be found in <em>Al-A’lām</em> by al-Zarakli, <em>Al-Ightibāt bi-Tarājim A’lām al-Rabāt </em>by al-Bojandār, and <em>A’lām al-Fikr al-Mu’āsir bi’l-Udwatayn </em>by Abd-Allāh al-Jarrāri.</p><p>His trusted friend, the saintly scholar and poet, Sīdi Muhammd Balamīnu al-Rabāti wrote about him:</p><blockquote><p>I traveled the lands of the East and the West (in vain)<br>To find the likeness of the Imam al-‘Arabi bin al-Sā’ih<br>The Star of Guidance, the Pole of (spiritual) height, Our Teacher<br>The succor of every inanimate and animate object</p></blockquote><p>Sīdī al-‘Arabī bin al-Sā’ih passed away in 1309 (1892) in Rabāt, where he used to live, and where his blessed Tomb and Zāwiyah remain. May Allah sanctify his Secret. <em>Amīn</em>.</p><p><b>Written by Imām Fakhruddīn al-Owaisī</b></p><p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This has been prescribed by our Tijani Shaykhs.</div><div><br></div><div>Also recite the Awrad Ikhtiyariyyah like the Hizb al-Sayfi, al-Mughni, Asma Idrisiyyah, Musabbi'at...etc....if you have permission.</div><div><br></div><div>Reciting a lot of Salat al-Fatih is always a blessing.</div><div><br></div><div>1-Rasul-Allah (SAW) Said:</div><div><br></div><div>"Allah Looks at His creation in the night of mid-Sha'ban and He forgives all His creation except for a mushrik (idolater) or a mushahin (one bent on hatred)."</div><div><br></div><div>Narrated by Ibn-Hibban.</div><div><br></div><div>2-Rasul-Allah (SAW) said:</div><div><br></div><div>"Allah looks upon His creatures on the night of mid-Sha'ban and He forgives all His servants except two: one intent on hatred, and the killer". </div><div><br></div><div>Narrated by Tirmidhi, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and al-Bazzar.</div><div><br></div><div>3- Sayyidah Aishah stated </div><div><br></div><div>The Prophet (SAW) stood up in prayer during part of the night and made his Sajdah so lengthy that I thought his soul had been taken back.</div><div>When I saw this I got up and went to move his big toe, whereupon he moved, so I drew back.</div><div><br></div><div>When he raised his head from prostration and finished praying, he said: "O Aishah! Did you think that the Prophet had broken his agreement with you?" </div><div><br></div><div>She replied: "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, but I thought that your soul had been taken back because your stayed in prostration for so long."</div><div><br></div><div>He said: "Do you know what night this is?" She said: "Allah and His Prophet know best."</div><div><br></div><div>He said: "This is the night of mid-Sha'ban! Verily Allah the Glorious and Majestic LOOKS AT His servants on the night of mid-Sha'ban, and He Forgives those who ask forgiveness, and He bestows Mercy on those who ask mercy, but He delays the people of Jelaousy and Spite in their (bad) state." </div><div><br></div><div>Narrated by al-Bayhaqi.</div><div><br></div><div>4- From Sayyidah Aishah also:</div><div><br></div><div>"I missed the Prophet (SAW) one night so I went out to al-Baqi graveyard (and found him there).</div><div><br></div><div>He said: "Were you afraid that Allah would wrong you and that His Prophet would wrong you?"</div><div><br></div><div>I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I thought that you might have gone to visit one of your (other) wives."</div><div><br></div><div>He said: "Allah Glorious and Exalted descends (i.e. His special Mercy) to the nearest heaven on the night of mid-Sha'ban and He forgives more people than the number of hairs on the skin of the sheep of the tribes of Kalb.</div><div><br></div><div>Narrated by Tirmidhi, Ahmad bin Hanbal,and Ibn-Majah.</div><div><br></div><div>5-From Sayyidina Ali bin Abi-Talib:</div><div><br></div><div>The Prophet (SAW) said:</div><div><br></div><div>"On The night of mid-Shaban, let all of you spend the night in prayer and its day in fasting, for Allah (i.e. His special Gaze) descends to the nearest heaven during that night beginning with sunset and says:</div><div><br></div><div>Is there no one asking forgiveness that I may forgive them?</div><div><br></div><div>Is there no one asking sustenance that I may grant them sustenance?</div><div><br></div><div>Is there no one under trial that I may relieve them?</div><div><br></div><div>Is there not such-and-such, is there not such-and-such, and so forth until until dawn rises".</div><div><br></div><div>Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn-Majah.</div><div><br></div><div>Allah Taala Himself says in the Blessed Quran:</div><div><br></div><div>"Inna anzalnahu fi laylatin mubarakatin inna kunna mundhirin.

Whereupon every wise command is made clear!</div><div><br></div><div>(The Holy Qur'an 44: 3-6)</div><div><br></div><div>Although the majority of the Quran commentators consider the BLESSED NIGHT in this Ayat to be the 27th Night of Ramadan (Laylat ul-Qadr), many scholars, like Imam al-Suyuti said that it COULD BE THE MIDDLE THE NIGHT OF SHABAN ALSO!</div><div><br></div><div>This is because of all the Ahadith that highlight the greatness of that night.</div><div><br></div><div>It is because of this Ayah that it is believed that Allah Ta'ala reveals our Destinies (Taqdeer) for the whole year to the Angels on this night.</div><div><br></div><div>People make Ibadah on this night because if we are in a state of Ibadah, then it may be that Allah will change some of His Taqdeer regarding us to better.</div><div><br></div><div>Islamic Scholars from all groups, such as Imam al-Suyuti and Shaykh Ibn-Taymiyyah agree that the Night of 15th Shaban is one of the holiest nights in the Islamic Year.</div><div><br></div><div>The blessings of the Middle Night of Shaban are related to us through many sources.</div><div><br></div><div><b>SOME THINGS TO DO ON THIS BLESSED NIGHT ARE:</b></div><div><br></div><div>1-IT IS SUNNAH TO MAKE A LOT OF IBADAH ON THE 15th NIGHT OF SHABAN, AS IT IS THE NIGHT OF FORGIVENESS.</div><div><br></div><div>SO ONE SHOULD PRAY A LOT ON THAT NIGHT AND SHUN SLEEP.</div><div><br></div><div>2-IT IS SUNNAH TO VISIT THE GRAVEYARD ON THAT NIGHT. SO PLEASE VISIT THE GRAVEYARDS NEAR TO YOU.</div><div><br></div><div>YOU CAN MAKE IBADAT THERE ALSO, BUT THE MASJID IS THE FIRST PREFERENCE.</div><div><br></div><div>3-PLEASE FAST ON THE DAY OF 15th SHABAN.</div><div><br></div><div>FASTING IS VERY MUCH LOVED BY ALLAH.</div><div><br></div><div>4-PLEASE RECITE AT LEAST ONE JUZ OF THE QURAN ON THIS NIGHT.</div><div><br></div><div>READING THE HOLY QURAN IS ONE OF THE GREATEST IBADAT.</div><div><br></div><div>5-PRAY SALAT UL-TASBIH.
