Biography of legendary mystic icon, seal of sainthood maulana SHAYKH AHMAD BN MUHAMMADU TIJANI AL-HASSANI (May Allah sanctify his precious secret)   Via: Tidjaniya.

Quote Of Sheik Ibrahim RTA

"We have four enemies: the world, shaytaan, the ego and passionate desire. Each of them has a weapon and has a prison. The world is an enemy and its weapon is meeting with people.
