The word ‘Tariqa’ means paths, order, ways etc. Tariqa is the special method of passing through various positions and levels of the seeker on the way to attaining Allah under the supervision of Kamil Shaikh.

Allah Ta’ala is Infinite and the knowledge from him is also much comprehensive, and the ways to acquire knowledge are also innumerable. Limitation is against the glory of Allah. Allah bestows various beneficial knowledge on His servants. Various auliyas have attained Allah’s pleasure and received various tariqas through Sadhona (spiritual practice, meditation). Of course, the four tariqas of Qaderia, Chistia, Naxabandia and Mojaddedia are widely prevalent among people.

Allah says:

وَٱلَّذِينَ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Meaning: And those who drive for us -we will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. (Surah Al-’Ankabut, Verse no.69)

The Necessity of Following a Tariqa:

It is essential to follow a Tariqa by taking Baiat to a Haqqani Shaykh (Right Sufi Master) for the purpose of attaining Tazkia-e-Nafs or Purification of Soul, a practice that has continued since the time of Rasulullah ﷺ. Reasons why it is essential to take tariqa are:

In order to remove satanic waswasa(whisper) from the Qalb

In order to remove evil spirits from the Qalb

In order to issue the dhikr of Isme Jaat of Allah Subhana -wa-Ta'ala in the Qalb

To achieve self-purification by suppressing the nafs

In order to achieve all the best qualities in the Qalb

Dying with faith in order to achieve ultimate success in the hereafter.

Tariqa-e Madinar Jama’at

With an amalgamation of four Tariqas, Tariqa-e Madinar Jama’at is a Tawazzuh based, high-powered Tariqa of an extraordinary method. This is a unique method of achieving Ilm-e Marifat. It is exceptionally helpful for modern busy people to reach spiritual milestones within a very short span of time. In this blessed Tariqa, the places for Latifa are like the Tariqas of Chishtia and Qaderia, and its system of Tawazzuh is like Tariqas of Nakshebandia and Muzzaddidia.

Tariqa-e Madinar Jama’at is a very special gift given by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala through His unparalleled Habib Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. This is an invaluable path (Tariqa) for a man living in the modern sinful society.

It is not seen doing verbal dhikr without tawajjuh year after year to achieve marifat in this tariqa.

Verbal dhikr is not required to receive all the sabakas of tariqat (from qalbi dhikr to baqa billah).

In this tariqa, knowledge is acquired through the Shaykh’s Faiz and Tawzzuh.

In the beginning, the Shaykh gave tawajjuh from the Qalb to the Saleks.

At the first tawajjuh from the shaykh, dhikr is issued on Qalb and other latifahs.

Through the Shaykh’s tawajjuh, Ziaratul Arwaah, Sayer Afaq and Sayer Anfusi, Sayer Anillah, Sayer Fillah, Fanafillah and Bakba Billah are achieved.

Through the Shaykh’s tawajjuh, Ziaratul Arwaah, Sayer Afaq and Sayer Anfusi, Sayer Anillah, Sayer Fillah, Fanafillah and Bakba Billah are achieved.

Like every Hakkani Tariqa, Tariqa-e Madinar Jama’at also possesses some special Saboks (spiritual classes) and Maqamats with distinctive characteristic features which are presented below:

Zikrul Latayef (Zikr among the five Latifah i.e. Qalb, Ruh, Sir, Khafi and Akhfa)

Arbaa Anasir (Zikr between four Latifah i.e. Ab, Atash, Khak, Bad)

Sultanul Azkar (Every cell and hair from the feet to the head feels and hears the remembrance of Allah)

Anwarul Latayef (Gaining Light in the Latifahs through which Kashf is attained)

Ziyaratul Arwah (Spiritual Meeting with the Deen in Ambia-Mursalin, Salaf Salihin and Bujurgan)

Sayer as-Sugra (Travelling on earth)

Sayer al-Kubra (Travelling to the heavens)

Fana Fillah (Spiritually dissolving into the Light of Allah)

Baqa Billah (Spiritually abiding in the Light of Allah)

Please read the book “Saitaner Mokabela ebong Allah Praptir Upai” (Challenging Satans and Ways to Gain Allah’s Satisfaction) if you want to know more about the above mentioned Saboks/Levels in the light of the Holy Quran and Sunnah.
