Your Next Step

Yesterday, Sheikh (may Allah preserve him) spoke about adab/etiquette and the importance of being vigilant against the slightest slip ups, in all things. As it these were one of the ways that satan used to attack the believer.

He continued to speak about how his murids should be in public: dressed well, pressed clothes, clean, if in a group not shouting, like and angel walking on the earth. Then he said something that has made me ponder over since he said it. He said that a sufi should only be concerned with the place his next step is going to be.

I found a great amount of meaning in these few words. He told us that we should not be concerned about what does not concern us; instead we should be concerned with what concerns us; which is where the next place the foot will be. This reminded me of the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “From the perfection of one’s Islam; is to leave that which does not concern him.” At-Tirmidhi

Most of the things we pass by on the streets and in our lives, do not concern us and they do not affect us. So why are we adding our commentary to it? We are talking about what is around us but neglecting the most important thing, where our next step will be. We could be stepping into some filth or we could fall over or walk into something.

Someone I know told me that he was leaving the train station today and he was looking at someone who was meeting his wife at the train station. He thought to himself when his time would come (to have a family) then he noticed that there was filth on the floor and narrowly avoided it. Then he remembered what Sheikh said then he laughed and went on his way. He was concerned about big issues that may or may not happen to him but he was neglecting what his immediate concern was. The place in which his next foot step would be.

In honour of Shaykh Al-Arabi Al-Darqawi (may Allah be pleased with him)

by arfan shah


In search of a master

Sixty times did he complete the mushaf

In search of a guide

In the jungle of the soul

Finally he came to the man mountain

The camel of gnosis

Refused and then accepted

He journeyed swiftly

Where many failed

Taking the wird

Taking the means

Taking the path

Two parts of the Hassani tree

Converged and renewed

Then gave birth to another light

Sent to guide his people
Enlightening the tribe Bani zarwal

40,000 guides made at hands

To spread the path across the maghrib

Explaining sincerity to the insincere

They came without shoe to visit

Letters like leaders

Urging you on

To maintain the path to Allah

He showed others the way

The light of the poles

He took the intoxicating drink of gnosis

Then the cup was passed on

Until it reached Ismail, Alawi and Hashim

Whose children intoxicated the world

Sincerity the secret of the men of Allah

Men of Allah (the Exalted)

Men of the Prophet (may Allah bestow and blessings upon him)

Came to guide the world

All you have to do is take their hand

Follow their lead into paradise

The Disputations

Twenty five

1.       Relief is forthcoming.

2.       If you don’t have the guts to say something to my face then you are a coward.

3.       No one says what they mean.

4.       Expect lies to come from peoples mouths.

5 .       The Mahdi will come in our darkest hour - therefore there must be widespread corruption. This is one of his signs...

6.       Abu Madyan (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'He who knows himself is not fooled by the peoples praise of him.'

7.       We are the largest ummah so we should have the largest amount of martyrs, right?

8.       My silence is a fitna for our friendship.

9.       Don't be comfortable in the world because you are going to leave it soon...

10.   Part of our belief in the day of judgement is that the oppressed will be avenged on that day. So do be aggrieved when you do not see it now. Man's ability for justice is limited and the justice of Allah is absolute.

11.   “Surely, those who persecuted the believing men and the believing women, then did not repent, for them there is the torment of Hell, and for them there is the torment of burning.”
Sura Baruj 85:10

12.   When something does not work out have the guts to admit your failure and step back.

13.   Emotions know no bounds.

14.   Keep moving on.

15.   You have no choice.

16.   What makes you weep when it was not meant for you?

17.   I am contemplating the end of everything.

18.   Your intention means more at the beginning than the end.

19.   Your nafs needs to be shined by good works and dhikr until its a joy to behold.

20.   Just because you are not sinful does not mean that you do not have to repent.
