About The Naqshbandi
Sufi Way
The most distinguished Naqshbandi
Way is a school of thought and practice that stood in the
vanguard of those groups which disseminated truth and fought
against evil and injustice, especially in Central Asia and
India in the past, in China and the Soviet Union in modern
times, and in Europe and North America today. Naqshbandi shaykhs
who took up political, social, educational and spiritual roles
in their communities, acting according to the Holy Quran and
the Sunnah of the Prophet
The most distinguished Naqshbandi Order
is the way of the Companions of the Prophet and those who
follow them. This Way consists of continuous worship in every
action, both external and internal, with complete and perfect
discipline according to the Sunnah of the Prophet It consists
in maintaining the highest level of conduct and leaving absolutely
all innovations and all free interpretations in public customs
and private behavior. It consists in keeping awareness of
the Presence of God, Almighty and Exalted, on the way to self-effacement
and complete experience of the Divine Presence. It is the
Way of complete reflection of the highest degree of perfection.
It is the Way of sanctifying the self by means of the most
difficult struggle, the struggle against the self. It begins
where the other orders end, in the attraction of complete
Divine Love, which was granted to the first friend of the
Prophet, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq(r).
