Classical Islam and the Naqshbandi Sufi tradition

More about the book

One of the distinguished schools of Islamic spiritual discipline, the Naqshbandi Sufi Order has a rich history dating back to the early days of Islam. Led by the shaykhs of the Golden Chain, inheritors of spiritual knowledge from Prophet Muhammad, the Naqshbandi Order has played a pivotal role in the lives of Muslims and has endured the challenges of the past century, maintaining a vital connection to its ancient roots. The vision of the Naqshbandi Saints is evident in their established devotions and daily practices, deeply rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah. These practices help seekers awaken certainty of belief and attain closeness to the Divine Presence. The resurgence of this order in the 21st century, driven by Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, indicates a transformative change in society, allowing aspirants to transcend physical limitations and explore their inner potential. The Naqshbandi Devotions serve as a source of light and energy, offering refuge in a materialistic world. Through the Divine Blessings bestowed upon practitioners of these rites, they gain the ability to heal hearts burdened by spiritual poverty. It is hoped that anyone who approaches this collection of devotions with sincerity will receive blessings akin to those granted to the great saints of the past.
