(CONCERNING THE SPIRITUALLY ENRAPTURED (MAJDHUB)
AND THE TRAVELER ON THE PATH OF ALLAH (SALIK))

“The memorization of this present “Message of Disavowal” is
obligatory for every Murid, and everyone who comes across it must
copy it and persist in reading it everyday!”
“Whosoever desires the maximum benefit (of this advice) must

memorize and preserve whatever comes from our discourses, either in
poetry or prose.”
In the Name of Allah--The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful, The

Avenger(Al-Muntaqim), All Powerful(Al-Aziz), The Compeller(Al-
Jabbar), The Supreme(Al-Mutakabir).
Peace and Blessings be upon the Messenger--the Master and the

Slave(As-Sayyid Al-Abd)--who said: “O Fatima, daughter of Muhammad!
I have nothing which can avail you against Allah!” This letter should be
given to everyone who claims an affiliation with us. Let it be known that:
There are two (kinds of people) who have nothing to do with me or with
the Tariqa, if they persist in the following condition and state:
1.) A spiritually enraptured person (Majdhub) who does not continue to

travel the Path to Allah (by conforming to the Sacred Law).
2.) A traveler on the Path to Allah (Salik) who is not spiritually

enraptured.
It is my concern, as you know, that everyone who desires to be with me

in my spiritual state should travel my path (by emulating my example) in
both word and deed--by obeying the commands and avoiding the
prohibitions (of Allah)—both inwardly and outwardly--and thirsting and
longing to attain the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger(SAWS). As
for the person who is affiliated with us and is doing things which
contradict the pure Sacred Law--by engaging in the forbidden or
prohibited (Muharamat) and abandoning the commands (Ma’murat)--
Allah bears witness and you all bear witness--that I am free and disavowed
from such a person!
O Allah! I declare myself free of what these people are doing! “And let
those who oppose the Messengers commandment beware lest some trial
befall them or a grievous penalty be inflicted on them.”(24:63); “Repent
and turn to Allah all of you, O believers!”(24:31).
As for what I mentioned concerning my (true) disciples being receptacles

which are full of the Secrets & Mysteries of the Three Divine Presences
(Asrar al-Hadrat al-Thalatha),# it is as I have said, but where is my (true)
Murid among you? He is more rare than the Philosophers Stone or Red
Sulphur (Kibrit al-Ahmar)! If the situation continues as you have
described (in your letter to me), I will readily revoke the permission from
every Muqaddam who does not act according to his obligations when the
prohibited things are done in his presence. If a person is too weak (to
stop the bad actions) then let them migrate to Allah and His Messenger
and to us! By Allah, these people never stop their moving in Allah (Sayr),
until after they become engrossed with created beings! Those who are
present with us for great amounts of time will soon forget all about vain
desires (Shahawat). Indeed, there are young people here who have
forgotten the taste of vain passions! Among them are they who have even
forgotten about their wives and would not even go to them (for sexual
pleasure), except by permission and command from us! This is the
(spiritual state) of my students and none else.
You must return to Allah with repentance (Tawba), obeying the

commands (Imtithal), avoiding the prohibitions (Ijtinab), asceticism
(Zuhd), righteousness (Wara’), and learning (Ta’alam). Allah said to the
Friend of Friends (Wali al-Awliya), “Say: ‘My Lord, increase me in
knowledge.”(20:114). So it is not befitting for a (true) Murid to stop his
moving in Allah (Sayr) until he has a personal encounter with me and if
I cannot change his spiritual state, then I permit him to go to another
Shaykh who has a higher spiritual station than myself. But you should
know, may Allah have mercy on you! that many of those who claim
‘Shaykh-hood’ are only blocking mankind from entering the Path of
Allah, by the absence of righteousness. Whosoever claims a connection
to Allah while being a blockage on His Path has indeed been marked by
Allah with war and he has got his place among the people of negative
criticism and misery, and he himself is the cause for that!
It is imperative that you be spend a considerable amount of time in our

presence so that you can receive from us the correct Adab of traveling
the Path of Allah (Suluk), just as you receive the Realities of Spiritual
Rapture (Haqa’iq al-Jadhbu) from us. Whosoever does this has attained
to the greatest success! It is also imperative that you change whatever
abominable occurrences which happen between the brethren, either by
your hand, tongue, or heart as it is mentioned in the hadith. Whosoever
desires the maximum benefit (of this advice) must memorize and
preserve whatever comes from our discourses, either in poetry or prose.
The memorization of this present “Message of Disavowal” is obligatory

for every Murid, and everyone who comes across it must copy it and
persist in reading it everyday!
You must establish the 5 daily Salat, pay the Zakat, fast the Month of
Ramadan, and perform the pilgrimage to Mecca if you are financially
able. You must give Sadaqa from your wealth in seeking the pleasure of
Allah, for in the Hadith collection of Imam Muslim, it is narrated on the
authority of Abu Malik al-Harith(RA), that the Prophet(SAWS) said,
“Purity is half of Faith; saying ‘Al-Hamdu-Lillah’ fills up the Scale; saying
‘Subhan Allah wa’l Hamdu-Lillah’ fills up what is between heaven and
earth; Prayer is a light; Patience is a brightness, and the Qur’an is either
a proof for you or against you. Every person wakes up each day as the
purchaser of his own soul, either enslaving it or setting it free.”
Allah has said--and He is the Most Truthful of Those Who Speak--

“Surely, Allah commands justice and excellence, and helping kin and He
forbids evil, abomination and oppression.”(16:90). So woe upon woe to
those who do not accept the rulings of Allah and His Messenger(SAWS)
with a total and complete acceptance (al-Qabul at-Tam), but glad tidings
to the one who receives our letter and repents and rectifies what he can-
-to him is the felicity of both worlds! Allah pardons what has passed. As
for him who does not change his ways, Allah and all of you bear witness
that I am free of him--and I do not declare my disavowal of anyone until
after the disavowal of Allah and His Messenger (SAWS)!
I advise all of you to increase your offering of “Salatul Fatihi Lima

Ughliq” (The Opener of what was Closed) and to conceal the ‘secrets &
mysteries’ (al-Asrar), by word and deed! I advise all of you to be cautious
of speaking openly with the speech of the ‘People of Realities’ (Kalam
Ahl al-Haqa’iq), and travel on the straight path! These vain desires are
only idols (Taghut) which you worship after you claim to have Faith
(Iman). Allah, the Most High says, “Whosoever disbelieves in idols and
believes in Allah has grasped a most trustworthy handhold that will never
break, and Allah is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.”(2:256).
Spread this letter to everyone who is affiliated with us, and let every
Muqaddam keep a copy to read to whoever is with them. I have hope in
Allah that this letter will reach all of you with a pure heart and attentive
ears! May Allah grant us all His Guidance!
Salaam
