A S\u016bf\u012b leader must have \u2018Ilmu\u2018l-Yaq\u012bn, \u2018Aynu\u2018l-Yaq\u012bn, Haqqu\u2018l-Yaq\u012bn\u00a0<\/i>\u2013 the Knowledge of Certainty, the Vision of Certainty, the Truth of Certainty.\u00a0 First is the \u201cknowledge of certainty,\u201d which is the necessity to know that there is such knowledge and to hear about it.\u00a0 When you hear it, you go to the second level, but you have to hear first.\u00a0 That is why God in Qur\u2019\u0101n, as well as all the S\u016bf\u012b masters, from Jal\u0101ludd\u012bn R\u016bm\u012b to Ibn al-Hish\u0101m, to Hallaj, to Ab\u0101 Yaz\u012bd al-Bist\u0101m\u012b, mention hearing as the first thing.\u00a0 Knowledge cannot come by seeing first but from a teacher that is heard, even for a blind man.\u00a0 A deaf person, on the other hand, cannot even begin to get knowledge.\u00a0 When the Archangel Gabriel (as) came to the Prophet (s), the first thing he said to him was\u00a0 \u201cRead<\/i>,\u201d and the Prophet (s) was hearing and listening.\u00a0 That is why Sufism is giving orders which one fulfills by hearing, not by seeing.<\/p>\n
This first level is not achieved by hearing and not caring, but by hearing, accepting and fulfilling through action! If your Shaykh says to go to the mountain and stay there until I come, and he does not show up, you will stay there for years, until he appears, if you do not do that, you are still a child in S\u016bf\u012b knowledge.\u00a0 In the Naqshband\u012b order you have to obey, and obedience comes through hearing.\u00a0 If you do it, then you move up to the second level.<\/p>\n
Once, Grand-Grandshaykh Shaykh Sharafuddin said, in a meeting of big masters, as Grandshaykh was on his way to meet them \u2013 still a teenager at the time \u2013 as they sat in a remote place far outside the city: \u00a0\u201cMy son \u2018Abdull\u0101h Effendi has reached a level where no one has set foot yet \u2013 not myself, nor all the Golden Chain masters.\u00a0 He is only 18 and I am 60, yet he has reached a level that is higher than mine and all the Golden Chain masters that have passed away.\u00a0 If I am going to send him a child of seven years to tell him, \u201cYour Shaykh is ordering you to direct yourself to Mecca for pilgrimage,\u201d from Daghestan here in the middle of Russia, he will immediately think, without coming and asking me for confirmation whether this is true or not, \u201cWho is making that child speak? My Shaykh has to know even before I know.\u00a0 Otherwise, how have I accepted him as a Shaykh and yet represent him as not knowing anything? If my Shaykh doesn\u2019t know, who will know?\u201d Immediately he will believe the child, and without going back to his house to tell his mother or his wife that he wants to go to pilgrimage; without taking any clothes, money, or food, he will direct himself to Makkah which is 10,000 miles away, walking, without asking anything.\u00a0 He will know the order comes from me and will simply change the direction of his walk.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is \u201cWahdatu\u2018l-af\u2019al<\/i>,\u201d Unification of actions or deeds or words \u2013 you must see everything as coming from God.\u00a0 This is a higher level in S\u016bf\u012b knowledge.\u00a0 You cannot see people doing anything anymore, but you must consider them instruments in the hands of God.\u00a0 Leave the child \u2013 if Shaykh N\u0101zim comes to you and says, \u201cGo to Mecca,\u201d you will say, \u201cOkay, my Shaykh, but I have to buy a ticket, and I have to see if my wife gives me permission\u2026\u201d\u00a0 In the Naqshband\u012b order you cannot do all this.\u00a0 You have to move immediately.<\/p>\n
The second level is\u00a0\u2018Aynu\u2018l-Yaq\u012bn<\/i>, the true vision.\u00a0 At that time you are going to see things around you, but without feeling.\u00a0 It will be like a screen which is lifted only in the third level,\u00a0Haqqu\u2018l-Yaq\u012bn<\/i>, the reality of truth \u2013 you are there and living that incident.\u00a0 If Grandshaykh is saying what we were saying before about the Prophet (s), how he was taken and how his heart was washed, at hearing this you are going to live that event as if you were living and feeling everything at that time.\u00a0 If Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Shaykh N\u0101zim is talking about an incident which happened 500 years ago, for example, you are going to live as if you were living at that time, hearing, seeing and feeling what they were hearing, seeing and feeling, juts as if you were one of them.<\/p>\n
This is the S\u016bf\u012b taste and the knowledge of the Naqshband\u012b order which connects its seekers to the Golden Chain.\u00a0 This cannot be opened until the time of Mahd\u012b (as) \u2013 unless, for some special followers, Mawl\u0101n\u0101 Shaykh N\u0101zim opens it with permission from the Prophet (s).\u00a0 It is not common to all.\u00a0 The rest must wait for the support of Mahd\u012b\u2019s power to enter that level, otherwise people will be condemned for speaking about what they see.<\/p>\n
In the Naqshband\u012b order the Shaykh can never make you be different from people and this is the perfect order: \u00a0you see the Shaykh who has all this power, feeling everything and living all the events, and describing them, yet behaving as an ordinary person.\u00a0 The Shaykh will therefore never accept to open knowledge for you if you are not ready and if he sees that you are going to show what he gave you to the public.\u00a0 That is why there is no permission yet for that door to be opened.<\/p>\n
