Islam: The Right Path {Sufi}

One of the Speeches Given in the Celebration of the Birth of the Prophets, peace be upon him All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the Owner of the Day of Judgment who prescribed Mercy for Himself and sent the Prophet, peace be upon him, as both benevolent and merciful [Ra-uf Raḥīm] toward the Believers and as a mercy to the worlds, ‘And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds, (2:107) [s]o by mercy from Allah , [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them, and if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah . Indeed, Allāh loves those who rely [upon Him]. (3:159) He began His revealed books with the statement, ‘In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful’, and said, ‘Verily, Allāh is truly Benevolent and Merciful toward people’.

Shaykh Ibrahim’s Arrival in Fez: Upon Shaykh Ibrahim’s arrival in Morocco at the port of Casablanca, he was received by notable Tijanis, among who was also a very old man whose father had been a Companion of Sayyidna Shaykh al-Tijani (RA). This man showed Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) the Blessed Sandal of Sayyidna Shaykh (RA) and Letters with his blessed handwriting. It was as if Sayyidna Shaykh (RA) himself was welcoming Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) into Morocco. In the Zawiyah of Casablanc a, Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) was honored by the learned Muqaddam Sidi Muhammad bin Ali al-Susi (RA) who was so impressed by him that he said: “The Muqaddam and great Wali Sidi al-Husayn al-Ifrani (RA) spoke the truth when he said, ‘The Black People are the Mine of Sainthood’ (as-Sudan Ma’dinal-Wilayah).” Moroccon Visits of Baye

"Struggling against the self until it returns to Allah is a must. The Majdhūb (One-Attracted-to-th­e Divine such that he doesn’t recognize anything but Allah) doesn’t know the consequence of fasting, prayer, or pilgrimage (as He recognizes the Maker of worship alone and thus cannot see worship itself nor its objective as both are other-than-Allah) but (nonetheless) he must perform these acts even if he doesn’t know their purpose. I will teach him and he will come to know its purpose. The objective sought from him is that he befriends the Supreme Companion and return to Allah, be He exalted, and this is only attained through the door of humbleness. There is hunger in fasting. Hunger is the door to humbleness. A tradition reports, ‘Verily Allah created the intellect and the self. He asked the intellect, who am I? It replied to Him, ‘You are My Lord the Greatest and I am the Lowly Slave’. He then said to the self, ‘Who am I” ? It replied, ‘You are you, and I am I’. Allah then sai

Early in his life, Sheikh Ebrahim joined the Tarikha Tijaniya which is a Tarikha based purely on the Qur'an and Hadith. And if we are herein to describe the Tarikha in one word, again we will say that it is simply to rule oneself according to the teaching of Qur'an and the teaching of the Prophet (SAWS). The Tarikha Tijaniya was founded by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Tijani, May Allah be pleased with him, who lived 1737 to 1815. رضي الله تعالى عنه آمين
