The advice of Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Sani رحمة الله عليه
Most acts of Sunnah of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم concerning the etiquette of taking food have been discussed in the foregoing pages. All that is wanted is that we should resolve firmly to act upon them from today. By acting upon these minor items of the Prophet's Sunnah you will receive the spiritual light and other wonderful benefits which Allah has palced in following the Sunnah.
What Mujaddid Alf Sani رحمة الله عليه has said in this behalf deserves to be noted with rapt attention. He رحمة الله عليه has said:
Almighty Allah taught me all the external courses of knowledge and granted me perfection in them. Then it
occurred to me that I should also know what the respected Sufis (mystics) say and what knowledge they have with them. I, therefore, turned to them and acquired knowledge from them. The respected Sufis have four orders of Tasaw-wuf (Mysticism), i.e. the Suharwardiyah, the Qadriyah, the Chistiyah and Naqashbandiyah. I wanted to know what knowledge every one of these, imparted of its disciples. I joined everyone of these, learnt and practiced their disciplines and went through all their usual exertions and exercises. As a result, Almighty Allah bestowed upon me such a status that the Holy Prophet ~3% himself put on my body the robe of honour. Thereafter, Almighty Allah raised me up to such an elevated station that if I disclose its reality, the Ulama of the external knowledge will issue against me their rulings of Kufr (infidelity), and the Ulama of the internal knowledge issue their ruling of Zandaqah (Heresy). Even so, Almighty Allah has granted me, by His mercy, all these spiritual ranks. Now I address to Allah a prayer. He will-God willing - receive salvation who joins me in this Du b by uttering 'Aameen".
0 Allah, help me to act upon the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ -Aameen.
0 Allah, let me live on the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet ﷺ - Aameen.
0 Allah, let me die on the Sunnah of the HolyProphet ﷺ - Aameen.
