THE INSTRUCTIONS

It is a proclamation of the Quran that success depends on Tazkiyah (purity), “He is successful who growth”. 87:14

The famous prevalent Sufi Orders are basically the training workshops where the fundamentals of inward self purification and their practical application are taught. The Sufi Orders have their graded programs in which, initially every new seeker is educated in Zikr-e-Lisani ( zikr by word of mouth ) and subsequently in Zikr-e-Khafi/Qalbi  ( zikr by Heart ). In Naqshbandiah Order, Zkir-e-Qalbi  ( zikr by heart ) is practiced from the very beginning. Hadhrat Mujaddid Alif Thani alluded to this practice thus: “The climax of others is our stepping stone”.

There is great emphasis on adherence to the Sunnah and as a result of its blessings; the seeker achieves better and quicker progress.

Naqshbandiah again has two schools, namely Naqshbandiah Mujaddidiah and Naqshbandiah Owaisiah. Our is the latter, in which sprititual baiat ( Oath of allegiance ) is gicen at the blessed hands of the Holy Prophet ( peace be upon him ).
