In this form of spiritual transmission, the spirits meet in the world called calam al-arwah (the world of spirits) which is beyond `alam al-ajsam<\/em> (the material plane). Whoever takes knowledge through spirituality from a deceased Master in the Naqshbandi Way, is called both Uwaisi and Naqshbandi. That spiritual connection is as powerful and effective as the physical connection.<\/p>\n The sign of the Favor of Allah Almighty and Exalted on his servant is to authorize one of His saints to uplift that servant to the Divine Presence. That is why many saints who came in previous times were guides for those who came after through this spiritual (Uwaysi) connection. It is known that many saints have been under the guidance and training of prophets and other saints that lifted them up.<\/p>\n As we mentioned, Sayyidina Abdul Khaliq al-Ghujdwani was raised up by Sayyidina al-Khidr These are the shaikhs of the Naqshbandi Order mentioned by Shaikh `Abdullah ad-Daghestani, who have, in addition to their physical connection, received the Uwaisi connection. They are known as the Shaikhs of the Two Wings (Dhul-Janahain), meaning that both the physical lineage and the spiritual lineage are combined in them. These saints are only nine in number. Each one represents one of the nine spiritual points on the chest of the human being. Through these points these saints can reach their followers at any time. Because they have the authority of these nine points, they consider all of humankind to be their followers, whether they are aware of their spiritual connection to them or not. Through these points, which are of \u2018Uwaysi\u2019 nature, they can reach and affect any human being, intercede for them, and inspire their hearts in order to direct them to the Divine Love, although they have never met physically.<\/p>\n Our grandshaikh \u2018Abdullah ad-Daghestani said,<\/p>\n \u201cAfter Shaikh Sharafuddin passed, and I was awaiting an opening to emigrate from Turkey, I was in a seclusion in the mosque next to the tomb of my shaikh, praying one night before Fajr. It was a cold and snowy night. I could feel the coldness in my bones. I could hear the quiet falling of the snow on the trees and the howling of wolves in the woods. I heard a voice calling my name, \u2018Abdullah Effendi.\u2019 I looked around but saw no one. Then I heard the voice again calling out, \u2018Abdullah!\u2019 I looked again, but again could not see anyone. I knew it was the voice of my shaikh. The warmth of that voice energized me, and I ran outside, without even putting on my shoes or my woolen cloak. I saw my shaikh in a brilliant vision, standing on the hill. He called to me and said, \u2018Abdullah Effendi, come.\u2019 I did not even think to put shoes on; I walked on the snow and could feel warmth from the Divine Love emanating from his spirit. As I reached him he said, \u2018My son, tonight I have been ordered to take you to the presence of Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani (r) by the order of the Prophet \u201cThen he said, \u2018My son, take my hand.\u2019 I was very happy to take the hand of my shaikh, and as soon as I took his hand “ back.\u2019 I said, \u2018O Umar, that is impossible. If the Prophet \u201c\u2018We went to that place and we saw in the distance a man sitting with his back to us. We approached. When we came near, without turning around, he said, \u2018O \u2018Ali, O \u2018Umar, give me my trust.\u2019 Immediately we handed him the robe of the Prophet \u201c\u2018We wondered why he was kissing the robe and saying these words, because he had never seen the Prophet \u201c\u2018Then he turned to Sayyidina `Umar and said to him, \u2018Ya `Umar, how many times have you seen the Prophet \u201c\u2018Then he looked at me and said, \u2018Ya `Ali, how many times did you see the Prophet \u201c\u2018Then Sayyidina Uwais looked at me and said, \u2018You really saw the Prophet \u201c\u2018In this state of wonderment, Sayyidina `Umar asked Sayyidina Uwais, \u2018What is the significance of that robe we brought to you?\u2019 He said, \u2018O \u2018Umar, that is one of the biggest secrets, which will not be revealed to people until the Last Days of his Nation. While the Prophet \u201c\u2018Then he said, \u2018His Nation includes all human beings. And that is why Allah said, \u2018Say [O Prophet]: O mankind! I am a Messenger to you all from Allah, to Whom belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth.\u2019<\/em> [7: 158]. The Prophet asked for intercession and Allah gave permission. He was interceding for every individual that Allah created. As he was asking he was sweating, and each drop of sweat represented one human being. He took on the burdens of each person. Until he was satisfied that Allah had forgiven everyone, then he left this world. And the symbols of that forgiveness are the drops of sweat which soaked this robe.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018This robe was given to me because the Prophet \u201cAnd Sayyidina `Ali said that Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani said, \u2018I didn\u2019t see the Prophet \u201cThen Sayyidina `Ali said to the association of saints, but directing his speech to me, \u2018What is passed to you and to many saints before you is from that Uwaisi power. This is the first time that secret has been revealed, by permission of the Prophet \u201cThen my shaikh said to me, \u2018O my son, now you can go back to your seclusion.\u2019 As soon as he said that, I found myself entering the mosque and feeling the cold again.\u201d<\/p>\n From time to time, saints experience such inspirations and visions through the spiritual power of their exalted predecessors.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ‘Uwaysi’ Transmission of Spiritual KnowledgeSayyidina Shah Bahaudin Naqshband al-Uwaysi al-Bukhari received the silent dhikr from the spiritual presence (ruhaniyya) of Khwaja `Abdul Khaliq Ghujdawani.

, Sayyidina Uways al-Qarani, and the spiritual Presences of Sayyidina cAli and Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. Then Sayyidina `Abdul Khaliq raised Shah Naqshband, who also received guidance from Sayyidina Uways al-Qarani, Sayyidina `Ali, Sayyidina Abu Bakr, and the Prophet . Sayyidina Ja`far as-Sadiq raised up Sayyidina Bayazid al-Bistami. Sayyidina Bayazid al-Bistami raised up Sayyidina Abul Hasan al-Kharaqani. Sayyidina `Ubaidullah al-Ahrar was raised up by the spiritual connection to Sayyidina `Isa and to Shah Naqshband. It is known that Sayyidina Ahmad al-Far\u2019uqi, in addition to the spiritual power he was receiving from Shah Naqshband, was also receiving spiritual support and power from Sayyidina `Ali (r). Sayyidina Shaikh Sharafuddin ad-Daghestani was raised through spirituality by Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) and by Sayiddina Muhammad . Sayyidina Shaikh Abdullah Daghestani was under the spiritual guidance of Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani (r), of Sayyidina `Abdul Khaliq al-Ghujdawani, and of Sayyidina Shah Naqshband and Sayyidina `Ali. Shaikh Nazim received, in addition to the guidance received by Shaikh Abdullah and Shaikh Sharafuddin, additional guidance from Sayyidina Jalaluddin Rumi and Sayyidina `Abdul-qadir al-Gilani, who were his grandfathers on his father\u2019s and his mother\u2019s side.<\/p>\nShaikh Abdullah ad-Daghestani\u2019s Vision of Uwais al-Qarani (r)<\/h3>\n
.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n said he is here, we must find him. Perhaps he is known by a different name.\u2019 Then we began asking, \u2018Do you know someone who is a shepherd? He takes care of his mother and never leaves her.\u2019 Some people said, \u2018Yes. But his name is not Uwais al-Qarani, his name is \u2018Abdullah.\u2019 Then they showed us where he lived.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n. He stood up, kissed the robe, put it on his head, then put it to his heart and said, \u2018I accept, I accept, I accept.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n in all his life. But we were hesistant to ask.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n?\u2019 `Umar was astonished at this question. He said, \u2018That is a strange question. I spent my whole life in the company of the Prophet.\u2019 Sayyidina Uwais said, \u2018I am asking for a reason. How many times did you actually see him?\u2019 Sayyidina `Umar said, \u2018How do you mean? I was with him all the time!\u2019 Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani said, \u2018Describe him to me.\u2019 Sayyidina `Umar began to describe the Prophet, his eyes, his features, his appearance. Then Sayyidina Uwais said, \u2018Ya `Umar, this description is known to everyone, including those who disbelieved in him.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n?\u2019 I knew what he meant, and I said, \u2018Ya Uwais, in my life I only saw the Prophet one time.\u2019 Sayyidina `Umar was looking at me in amazement. I said, \u2018I saw him one time. The Prophet called me and told me, \u2018Look at me from my navel and above.) I looked and I saw that the Prophet from his navel up filled the universes and the Seven Heavens. From his neck and up, I was unable to see, but it was above the Sidratul Muntaha<\/em> (Furthermost Limit). Then he told me, \u2018Look from my navel and down.\u2019 I looked and I saw all these universes, all these worlds, stars and planets had disappeared and all that I saw was the Prophet , from his waist to his knees filling up that entire space. And from his knees down to his feet I was unable to see. Then he said, (Look at all of me, from top to bottom.) I looked at him, and the Sidratul Muntaha<\/em> and all these universes disappeared, and all I saw was Muhammad , everywhere. At that time I knew that Muhammad is the Heart of the Divine Presence (al-Haqiqat al-Muhammadiyya<\/em>).\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n one time. And that is why he said about you, \u2018I am the City of Knowledge and `Ali is its Door.\u2019 Allah has also given this Divine Knowledge to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, as the Prophet mentioned, \u2018Whatever Allah poured into my heart, I poured into the heart of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq).\u2019<\/p>\n was passing away, he was asking for intercession for his Nation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n wanted to tell me, \u2018O Uwais, I am passing to you the Divine Knowledge to clean the Nation after they make sins. You must pass that power to your successors, from me to you and from you to them.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n physically, but in every moment, of every day, I was with him during his life. I received from him every matter of importance for his Nation. I am going to transmit this secret to the many successors and inheritors among Allah\u2019s saints. Without a physical connection but through a spiritual connection, they will receive the secret of the cleansing power and revive it in every century, until the Day of Judgment.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
