The Nine-Fold Ascent



Author: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
ISBN: 978-1-930409-59-0
Pages: 158 pages

 

The teachings presented here outline a course towards spiritual realization that has rarely been made available before. This book focuses on details of the Naqshbandi Sufi path, with emphasis on the responsibility of the disciple to make progress and advances in his spiritual discipline based on pure love and longing for the Divine Presence. Starting with initiation at the hands of the master, the book outlines the steps needed for the devoted seeker to attain actual gnosis, reaching the level where he or she is able to connect and communicate with masters, both living and passed on, who are able to provide direct spiritual support in assisting the seeker in reaching ever higher levels. The book is essentially a manual in reaching the State of Perfection,Maqam al-Ihsan, which the Prophet Muhammad (upon whom be God's peace and blessings) described as "to worship God as if you see Him and if you do not see Him, to know He sees you." This station is the first goal of the seeker in setting forth on the way of spiritual ascension. While this station is not the seeker's ultimate destination, realizing it is considered the first step into the circle of true seekers, those whose vision is supported by God and who receive inspiration from the Divine Presence.

Who are The Guides?



Author: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
ISBN: 978-1-930409-55-2

Pages: 206 pages

For 150 years, extremists have battled to obliterate spiritual practices and secret knowledge that has flowed through the veins of Islam for fifteen centuries. This book is the antidote, depicting ancient wisdom of guides of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, passed only from master to disciple. Following Banquet for the Soul (2008), the first volume of Grandshaykh Abd Allah’s Notes Series,Who are the Guides? outlines a spiritual discipline that generates the mind/body/spirit dynamic we crave, in a shallow world dominated by texting, Facebook, and Twitter.

 

Grandshaykh’s explanations are directed to those seekers who understand the Sufi Way, who have accompanied saints for a long time, who are willing to open their minds and hearts to the intense love of Allah, His Messenger and the spiritual guides, and who seek Oneness with them. Deep spiritual secrets are revealed: of how Creation flows from the Light of Sayyidina Muhammad, the treasures of our divine worship, and how to accelerate our progress on the Path. Who are the Guides?devotes particular attention to the hierarchy and characteristics of the four levels of murshid (spiritual guide): tabarrûk, tazkîyyah, tasfîyyah, and tarbîyyah. Details of the responsibilities, specific powers, and miracles of Sultan al-Awlîyâ, the Ghawth, and the fiveaqtâb (the qutbs) are also defined. Who are the Guides? provides a unique organizational chart, if you will, of the most powerful guides and how to access them, and is a brilliant addition to anytasawwuf-based library.

About the Author

Rumi (1207-1273 CE) was by far the greatest of all mystical poets. He speaks to us here through Sufi tales which are a storehouse of knowledge, gnosis and love. Rumi explains spiritual themes through the medium of tales, anecdotes and animal fables drawn from different sources to which he gives a spiritual coloring and makes them his own. Thoughts hang together in free association interspersed with the main story. His style of free association is to interrupt a tale with seemingly unrelated stories and then continue much later on in the tale. This style is experiential, not doctrinal. It does not set forth spiritual experiences and truths with the logical precision of a systematic treatise indicating step by step how the Sufi way leads from the stage of asceticism to that of nearness to God. It is a work of inspiration, a spontaneous outflow couched in the language of emotion and imagination. Spontaneity and inspiration have their own logic.

Islamic Beliefs And Doctrine According to Ahl al-Sunna: A Repudiation of "Salafi" Innovations


Author: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
ISBN: 1871031486 

"Two imams have been severely tried because of their followers although they are innocent of them: Ahmad ibn Hanbal was tried with the Mujassima (anthropomorphsits), and Ja'far al-Sadiq was tried with the rafida (rejectionists)." [Shaykh al-Hadith Ibn al-Salah(d.643H.) as quoted by Taj al-Din al-Subki in his Qa'ida fi al-jarhi wa al-ta'dil, p.43] We may add that in later times Islam itself was tried with Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, who claimed to defend it and uphold its pure doctrine, when in fact they corrupted it and tore apart its community with their confusion. Just as Imam Ahmad is clear of them, Islam and Muslims as a whole are also clear of them.

A Spiritual Commentary on the Chapter of Sincerity


Author: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
ISBN: 19304094207
Pages: 130 pages

 

The subject of the present commentary is on Suratu 'l-Ikhlas or the Chapter of Single-Hearted Sincerity. The word ikhlas carries the meaning "to purify" or "to refine" from all impurities. The very concept of refining and purifying signifies the removing all impurities leaving nothing but the essence of which was sought, which, in this case, is Allah. Thus, whoever knows Allah and affirms His Oneness reaches the level of purity or sincerity of heart.

"Purity of heart," it has been said "is to will one thing wholly." And the one who achieves that level is described in Arabic with the adjective, "mukhlis," that is sincere. The virtue of single-hearted devotion to Allah goes to the heart of the religion of Islam. This is hardly surprising. So it is not surprising that tradition holds the reading this chapter just once a reading the entire Qur'an. For the Qur'an in its essence is totally uncompromising proclamation of Divine Unity.

Wisdom by a Sufi Master of Our Time Talks given in 1995 by a Sufi master of our time in England, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Transcribed by Thyra Quensel.

Excerpt: Meditation Most masters today present the method of meditation to you. But usually they do not base on Christianity, or Judaism or Islam, so many people think that it is a method which originated within other religions. But that is not the case. Meditation was a method which was already given to the first man, within the first message, to the first Messenger. What purpose does meditation serve, and how can we reach such a state? It is mentioned in all our Holy Books: the Thora, the Gospels and in the Holy Quran, as a method to reach Divine Presence. When we come face to face with our Creator, we leave everything else behind. Nothing remains except your soul. If I would come and try to hit you with a sword, you would not be harmed. Nothing can touch you physically in such a state, because your physical body will have entered your spiritual being. Normally it is the opposite: our souls are imprisoned in the physical body. In a perfect state of meditation, your souls cover your physical body and you become a spirit. There was once a Grandsheik, Sheik Abdul Qadir al Jilani. While he was meditating he kept saying, "I am the truth!" People around him were offended by this and started attacking him with swords, but nothing happened to him. They could not touch him. When Maulana Rumi was in real meditation, he would be whirling and lift off the ground. He had full connection with the Divine Presence. According to our traditional knowledge, rneditation has so many steps before reaching the top point. If you keep those rules, real meditation can come to you any time. Everyone must try within the rules which exist in their religion, to praise the Lord first, in the way the prophets taught us. We can then sit in a silent place, preferably in the dark, cover ourselves and withdraw from everything around us. We should not hear or feel anything, only think that we are one within the existence of the Lord Almighty Allah in the Divine Presence. Even if it only lasts for 5 minutes, it will give us power. This will then increase and make peace-falcons out of peace-doves. If a terrorist even looks at you, he will fall down. With meditation you can attain ultra-power. Don't think that meditation is something easy. It is the most important power which has been given to mankind.

Wisdom by a Sufi Master of Our Time Talks given in 1996 in Germany and Great Britain by a Sufi Master of our time. Transcribed by von Thyra Quensel.

Excerpt: Try to be Holy! Islam teaches humanity the most precious characteristics of mankind. It tries to take man from the lowest level to the highest. That is the mission of Islam and the mission of all prophets. All of them declared this. The last prophet came with the Last Message of the Lord. He is calling you to be clean and to come to His Divine Presence. Oh believers, oh mankind, try to be clean in your physical body, in your thoughts, in your hearts, in your mind, in your work and in all your dealings. Try to be serious and sincere for your divine service. Do the other religions; Christianity or Judaism teach anything else? Try to be true, trustworthy and beloved by the people around you. Try to make many more friends here. That will make you happy here and in the hereafter. Don't make enemies! Don't be envious! Try to give your best service to your Lord the Almighty Allah. Give your best to everybody in the big family of mankind. Then you will be holy and you will be accepted within the Divine Presence. You will be rewarded with enlightenment. Be an enlightened person, don't be without lights. You will be asked if you are bringing any lights from this life. Try to take the lights of Heaven with you from this life to the next, to the hereafter. 157 pages, Paperback
