Salah is also cited as a means of restraining a believer from social wrongs and moral deviancy. According to a hadith in the collection, considered salah 'the best deed'.

Muslims praying in, The Islamic worship practiced by one Muslim may differ from another's in minor details, which can affect the precise actions and words involved. Differences arise because of different interpretations of the by the different schools of law ( ) in, and by different legal traditions within. In the case of ritual worship these differences are generally minor, and should rarely cause dispute. Muslims believe that Muhammad practiced, taught, and disseminated the worship ritual in the whole community of Muslims and made it part of their life. The practice has, therefore, been concurrently and perpetually practiced by the community in each of the generations. The authority for the basic forms of the Salah is neither the hadiths nor the Qur'an, but rather the consensus of Muslims.

Differences also occur due to optional (recommended rather than obligatory) articles of prayer procedure, for example, which verses of the Quran to recite. A 2015 Pew Research Center study found that are two percent more likely than to pray on a daily basis. Shia Muslims, after the end of the prayer, raise their hands three times, reciting Allah hu akbar and Sunnis just look at the left and right shoulder saying salams. Also Shias in the second Rakat often read 'Qunoot', which for Sunnis is often done after salah. In each of the positions, the Muslim usually needs to consider these, which may vary between schools and gender: • Position of legs and feet.

• Position of hands, including fingers • Place where eyes should focus • The minimum amount of adhkar/recitation, depending upon whether the worshipper is Imam or following the Imam or praying alone. • Loudness of recitation: audible, or moving of lips, or just listening Steps that are compulsory or necessary in the 5 daily prayers Types of prayers Prayers in Islam are classified into four categories based on degrees of obligation:,,, and nafl. Fard Salah The Fard Salah are all of the compulsory prayers - the five daily prayers, as well as the Friday prayer () and the Eid prayers (). Non-performance of any these prayers renders one a non-Muslim according to the stricter Hanbali of, while the other Sunni simply consider doing so a major sin. However, all four agree by consensus that denial of the compulsory status of these prayers invalidates the faith of those who do so, rendering them.

Fardh prayers (as with all actions) are further classed as (obligation of the self) and (obligation of sufficiency). Fard al-Ayn are actions considered obligatory on individuals, for which the individual will be held to account if the actions are neglected. Fard al-Kifayah are actions considered obligatory on the Muslim community at large, so that if some people within the community carry it out no Muslim is considered blameworthy, but if no one carries it out, all incur a collective punishment. Men are required to perform the fard salat in ( jama'ah), behind an when they are able. According to most Islamic scholars, performing prayers in congregation is (recommended) for men, when they are able, but is neither required nor forbidden for women. The Five Daily Prayers. Ishai Muslims are commanded to perform prayers five times a day.

These prayers are obligatory on every Muslim who has reached the age of puberty, with the exception being those who are mentally ill, too physically ill for it to be possible, menstruating, or experiencing postnatal bleeding. Those who are ill or otherwise physically unable to offer their prayers in the traditional form are permitted to offer their prayers while sitting or lying, as they are able. The five prayers are each assigned to certain ( al waqt) at which they must be performed, unless there is a compelling reason for not being able to perform them on time. These times are measured according to the movement of the sun. These are: near dawn ( ), after midday has passed and the sun starts to tilt downwards/noon ( ), in the afternoon ( ), just after sunset ( ) and around nightfall ( ). Under some circumstances ritual worship can be shortened or combined (according to prescribed procedures). In case a ritual worship is not performed at the right time, it must be performed later.

Some Muslims offer voluntary prayers ( sunna rawatib) immediately before and after the prescribed fard prayers. Sunni Muslims classify these prayers as sunnah, while Shi'ah consider them nafil. The number of rakats for each of the five obligatory prayers as well as the voluntary prayers (before and after) are listed below. • ^ According to, these are to be performed in sets of two rakats each. This is not the case for Sunni Muslims. • ^ According to Muslims, there is a difference between Sunnat-Mu'akkadah (obligatory) and Sunnat-Ghair-Mu'akkadah (voluntary).

Unlike for the Sunnat-Ghair-Mu'akkadah, the Sunnat-Mu'akkadah was prayed by daily. • Replaced by on Fridays, which consists of two rakats. • ^ (praiseworthy) to do everyday. (Shias) • ^ According to Shia Muslims, this prayer is termed nawafil. • According to, 'Asr starts when the shadow of an object becomes twice its height (plus the length of its shadow at the start time of Zuhr).' For the rest of Imams, 'Asr starts when the shadow of an object becomes equal to its length (plus the length of its shadow at the start time of Zuhr).' Asr ends as the sun begins to set.

• ^ According to Shia Muslims, Asr prayer and Isha prayer have no set times but are performed from mid-day. Zuhr and Asr prayers must be performed before sunset, and the time for Asr prayer starts after Zuhr has been performed. Maghrib and Isha prayers must be performed before midnight, and the time for Isha prayer can start after Maghrib has been performed, as long as no more light remains in the western sky signifying the arrival of the true night. • Further information on the usage of the word 'Isha' (evening) see, Jumu'ah. Name Prescribed time period ( waqt) Voluntary before fard Obligatory Voluntary after fard Sunni Shi'a Sunni Shi'a (?) After true noon until Asr 4 Rakats Sunnat-Mu'akkadah 2 Rakats Sunnat/ Mustahab 2 Rakats 4 Rakats Sunnat-Mu'akkadah, 2 Rakats Sunnat-Mu'akkadah 2 Rakats Sunnat/Mustahab (instead of Dhuhr) Wajib salat Wajib As-salat are compulsory, non-performance of which renders one a sinner. However, the evidence of the obligation is open to interpretation, with some of the saying it is obligatory while others saying it is optional. To deny that a fard salah is obligatory is an act of disbelief while denying the obligation of a wajib salat is not disbelief.

There are some who believe that as the 5 prayers are obligatory, it automatically renders all other prayers optional. Sunnah salah. Though not a mandatory part of the course, most supplicate after completing salah. Sun'nah sal'ah are optional and were additional voluntary prayers performed by --they are of two types [ ]--the Sunnah Mu'akkaddah, those practiced on a regular basis, which if abandoned cause the abandoner to be regarded as sinful by the Hanafi School and the Sunnah Ghair Mu'akkaddah, those practiced on a semi-regular practice by Muhammad about which all are agreed that their abandonment doesn't render one sinful. Certain sunnah prayers have prescribed waqts associated with them. Those ordained for before each of the fard prayers must be performed between the first call to prayer ( ) and the second call ( ), which signifies the start of the fard prayer.

Those sunnah ordained for after the fard prayers can be performed any time between the end of the fard prayers and the end of the current prayer's waqt. Any amount of extra may be offered, but most prescribe a certain number of rakats for each sunnah salah. Nafl salah Nafl salah ( prayers) are voluntary, and one may offer as many as he or she likes almost any time. There are many specific conditions or situations when one may wish to offer nafl prayers. They cannot be offered at,,. The prohibition against salah at these times is to prevent the practice of.

Salat-al-Witr Witr is performed after the salah of Isha (dusk). Some Muslims consider witr wajib while others consider it optional. It may contain any odd number of rakats from one to eleven according to the different. However, Witr is most commonly offered with three rakats. To end prayers for the night after Isha, the odd numbered rakats must have the of 'wajib-ul-Lail', which is mandatory to 'close' one's salah for that day. Shi'ahs offer this as a one rakat salah at the end of salatul layl (the night prayer), which is an optional prayer according to some shi'ah scholars, and a wajib (obligatory) prayer according to others. This is to be prayed any time after Isha, up until fajr.

The best time to pray it is the last third of the night (the night being divided into three, between maghrib and fajr of that night). It is considered highly meritorious by all shi'ah Muslims, and is said to bring numerous benefits to the believer, mainly gaining proximity to Allah.

Women praying in, in Eid salah is performed on the morning of and. The Eid prayer is most likely an individual obligation ( ) and Niyyah for both Eid salah is made as Wajib, though some Islamic scholars argue it is only a collective of the obligation( fard al-kifayah).

It consists of two rakats, with seven (or three for the followers Imam Hanafi) takbirs offered before the start of the first rakat and five (or three for the followers of Imam Hanafi) before the second. After the salah is completed, a sermon ( ) is offered.

However, the khutbah is not an integral part of the Eid salah. The Eid salah must be offered between sunrise and true noon i.e. Between the time periods for and. Istikhaarah Salat al-Istikhaarah is a prayer performed when a Muslim needs guidance on a particular matter, such as whether they should marry a certain person. In order to perform this salah one should pray a normal two rakats salah to completion. After completion one should say a called the. The intention for the salah should be in one's heart to pray two rakats of salah followed.

The salah can be performed at any of the times where salah is not forbidden. The salah must be performed in the.

Qada In certain circumstances one may be unable to perform one's prayer within the prescribed period ( waqt). In this case, the prayer must be performed as soon as one is able to do so.

Several narrate that stated that permissible reasons to perform Salah are forgetfulness and accidentally sleeping through the prescribed time. However, knowingly sleeping through the prescribed time for Salah is deemed impermissible. Qasr and Jam' bayn as-Salaatayn When travelling over long distances, one may shorten some prayers, a practice known as qasr. Furthermore, several prayer times may be joined, which is referred to as Jam' bayn as-Salaatayn. Qasr involves shortening the obligatory components of the,, and prayers to two. Jam' bayn as-Salaatayn combines the Zuhr and Asr prayers into one prayer offered between and, and the and Isha prayers into one between sunset and.

Neither Qasr nor Jam' bayn as-Salaatayn can be applied to the Fajr prayer. There is no reference to Qasr during travel within the itself; the Qur'an allows for Qasr when there is fear of attack, but does not forbid it for travel in non-hostile circumstances. Sajdah of forgetfulness During the ritual salat prayer, if a person forgets to do one of the actions of prayer he can make up for certain actions by performing two sujud at the end of the prayer. This can only be done if specific types of actions are forgotten by the person praying. Tahiyyatul masjid Upon entering the mosque, ' Tahiyyatul masjid' may be performed; this is to pay respects to the mosque.

Every Muslim entering the mosque is encouraged to perform these two rakats. Prayer in congregation. Friday prayer for Muslims in, Bangladesh Prayer in ( ) is considered to have more social and spiritual benefit than praying by oneself.

When praying in congregation, the people stand in straight parallel rows behind one person who conduct the prayer, called, and face the. The imam is usually chosen to be a scholar or the one who has the best knowledge of the, preferably someone who has memorised it (a ). In the first row behind the imam, if available, would be another hafiz to correct the imam in case a mistake is made during the performance of the salah. The prayer is performed as normal, with the congregation following the actions and movements of the imam as he performs the salah. Standing arrangement For two people of the same gender, the imam would stand on the left and the other person is on the right. For more than two people, the imam stands one row ahead of the rest. When the worshippers consist of men and women combined, a man is chosen as the imam.

In this situation, women are typically forbidden from performing this role. This point, though unanimously agreed on by the major schools of Islam, is, based partly on a whose interpretation is controversial. When the congregation consists entirely of women and pre-pubescent children, one woman is chosen as imam. When men, women, and children are praying, the children's rows are usually between the men's and women's rows, with the men at the front and women at the back. Another configuration is where the men's and women's rows are side by side, separated by a curtain or other barrier, with the primary intention being for there to be no direct line of sight between male and female worshippers, following a Qur'anic injunction toward men and women each lowering their gazes (Qur'an 24:30-31). Conducting The prayer commences with the imam saying 'Allahu akbar' out loud. For the five daily prayers, the imam would read the surah fatiha and a following section of the quran out loud only for the first two rakats of, and.

To move between positions, the imam would say 'Allahu akbar' out loud, such as when going to the bowing position, except when standing up again from the bowing position, when the imam would say 'SamiAllahu liman hamidah' out loud. The prayer is concluded with the imam saying the out loud. A worshiper who has joined a congregation prayer late after missing rakats is called a. The masbuq would join with the rest of the group in prayer, however, when the taslim is said at the end, he or she would not say the taslim but would instead stand up and continue for the number of rakats missed.

If he or she joined after the bowing stage of a rakat, then he or she would have considered to have missed that rakat. Quranist Salah The concept of Salah Timings has been discussed in Hujjat Allah Al-Baligha (Arabic/Urdu) by Shah Waliullah. He said that there are 3 Salah timings (prayers) instead of the 5 Salahs (prayers). The number of regular Salah mentioned by their respective names in Arabic in the Qur'an are three as follows: •?al?t Fajr ( Dawn Prayer) • A?-?al?t al-Wus ( The Middle Prayer) •?al?t cIsh?' ( Night Prayer) The other Salah normally prayed by most Muslims are not explicitly mentioned in Qur'an by specific Arabic terms. Most Muslims pray them by giving reference to the Hadith of Muhammad, and the consensus of Muslims, whereas Quranists may only pray the 3 times mentioned.

Salah timings according to Quranists Salah timings of Qur'an are mentioned, in particular three salah times are described and that they are recorded in a written document. The Qur'an states that you should interrupt any activity you were previously doing to pray, as this betters the individual. Also noted is the volume at which the salah should be uttered, somewhere in between spoken aloud and spoken in a low tone. The time for performing Fajr (Dawn) Prayer starts when the first thin ray of light is observed in the sky and ends at the first 'taraf' (terminal) of the day, or sunrise The time for performing middle or Salat Al-Wusta can be observed from the moment the sun begins its descend from its highest point in the sky (duluk al shams) until sunset but before the darkness of the night (ghasaq al-layl) starts to set in.

'Duluk ash-shams' can also mean 'sunset.' It literally means 'the rubbing of the sun.' The most accepted meaning is that this means the apparent rubbing of the sun with the horizon at sunset. Although, the meaning of a declining noon sun can also be found in Classical Arabic sources. Literally, it can imply a meaning of both sunset and dawn in its meaning of a sun making apparent contact i.e.

'rubbing' with the horizon. The Qur'an, if we take the understanding of 'a declining noon sun' implies that the time of the Middle prayer ends with sunset. Some Quranists however believe that there are only two Salah, dawn and dusk including the times of night close to these two periods; which is Based on the Qur'an (24:58). Some groups like Ahl Al-Quran and The Submitters believe that the 5 Salah as they are practiced by Muslims today were passed down from Abraham generationally through the Arabs and the Children of Israel, to then be inherited by those who adopted the Qur'an (and rejected by most Jews and Christians), as a ritual of the religion of Abraham.The emphasize on constantly mentioning of God in holy books, is believed to be about the believers' righteous endeavors and not just performing Salah. For instance, in (51:56) when God states: ' I did not create the jinn and the humans except to worship Me;' worshiping God could not mean just performing the prayer ritual all day long.

Salah in Babi Faith In the, or, salah is 'one of the obligatory acts of religion' ( 7:19). In his writings, the (born Sayyid Ali Muhammad Shirazi) laid claim to abrogating the Islamic salah, and he provided for his own version of it in the two central texts of his religion, the Persian Bayan, and the. Prayers are to be performed from the age of maturity which is 11, according to his book, the Haykal al-Din (Temple of Religion). The Bab prescribes for a prayer to be said at noon (Arabic Bayan 7:19).

This prayer is of 19 prostrations, each of which constitute a rak'ah. One is to raise the hands in the air, holding them like a book once during each rak'ah. Then, one seats themselves at the end of each rak'ah, and it is ended by standing upright. This process is to be repeated nineteen times which is according to the numerical value of the word ' (?).

It is inferred from the Persian Bayan (7:19), and it is stated in the other works of the Bab that this process is not necessary if one says the following words nineteen times: 'God witness that there is no god but He; to Him belongeth creation and command. He quickeneth and causeth to die, then He causeth to die and Quickeneth; and verily He is the Living, who dieth not. In His grasp is the dominion of all things; He createth what He pleaseth by His command; verily He has power over all things.' In addition, he prescribed that the day should be divided into five parts (Arabic Bayan 11:14), according to the numerical value of the word 'bab' (), with the first part beginning at sunset.

Corresponding to the five parts of the day, the adhan should be recited five times by a muezzin from an elevated place so that all can hear it. The words of after adhan are as follows: • In the first part, repeat 19×: 'La ilaha illa-Allah' (There is no god but God) and 19× 'Allah'u'ighma' (God is the All-Rich); • 19× 'La illa-Allah' (the only God) and 19× 'Allah'u'Aslam' (God is the All-Knowing); • 19× 'La illaha illa-Allah' and 19× 'Allah'u'Apaken' (God is the All-Wise); • 19× 'La ilaha illa-Allah' and 19× 'Allah'u'Amlek' (God is the All-Possessing); • 19× 'La illaha illa-Allah' and 19× 'Allah'u'Aslet' (God is the All-Powerful).

His full name was Shihab al-Din Abmad ibn ‘Umar ibn ‘Ali al-Khazraji al-Balansi whose noble lineage is traced back to the great companion Sa’ad ibn ‘Ubada al-’An.ari. He was known by the agnomen Abu’l ‘Abbas and by the nickname al-Mursi after the place he was born – Mursia.

His grandfather was Qays ibn Sa’ad, the leader of Egypt before our master Imam ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib in 36 H. Our master Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi was born in the city of Mursia in Andalusia2 in the Islamic year 616H [1219 AD]. His father worked there and sent his son to a teacher to study the Majestic Qur’an and to understand the commands of the religion.

Abu’l ‘Abbas memorised the entire Quran in one year and went on to study the principles of Jurisprudence, reading and writing. His father was a Mursian trader and Abu’l ‘Abbas used to participate with him in his business. The money which Abu’l ‘Abbas received from the trade went into the pockets of the poor, the destitute and the wayfarers. The profits of his trade were sufficient to maintain him and his lifestyle. He engaged his heart in the remembrance of Allah and in doing so he proceeded day after day, a step at a time, on to the path of truth and realisation. Abu’l ‘Abbas was known for being truthful, trustworthy, decent and possessing integrity in his business transactions.

If the profits of his business were one hundred thousand he would give one hundred thousand to charity. He was an example for the other traders of his time in terms of etiquette and gentle manners required by the religion. He was also an example for the youth in holding steadfast to the pillars and the rights of Allah.

He would fast for several days every month. He would observe night prayers for part of the night and he would restrain his tongue from foolishness or prattle. In the Islamic year 640H [1242 AD], his father resolved to perform pilgrimage to the house of Allah. So he accompanied him as well as his brother, ‘Abdullah Jalal al-Din and their mother Sayyida Fatima, daughter of Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rabman al-Maliqi. They travelled by sea from Algeria until they reached the furthest outpost of the shores of Tunisia when a violent storm hit them. All the passengers drowned except the ones in the care of Allah.

Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi and his brother were saved by Allah Most High and they proceeded to Tunisia where they took up residence. Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi received the Spiritual Path at the hands of his teacher – the famous spiritual leader Abu’l Hasan al-Shadhili.

Abu’l ‘Abbas met him in Tunisia, in the Islamic year 640H after which he was nourished with the knowledge of the time relating to jurisprudence, Qur’anic exegesis, Prophetic narrations, logic and philosophy. The seasons passed in the spiritual path until he mastered these sciences. Imam al-Mursi said, “When I arrived in Tunisia, I had come from Mursia in Andalusia, I was a young man at the time. I heard about Shaykh Abu’l Hasan al-Shadhili and a man invited me to visit him. I said I would request Allah for guidance [in this matter].

That night I slept and saw myself in a dream ascending a mountain top. When I reached the peak, I saw a man in a green cloak; he was sat with a man on his right and a man on his left side. He looked at me and said, ‘You have found the vicegerent of the time.’ I woke up and it was time for the dawn prayer when the same man who had invited me to visit the Shaykh came again. So I went with him and entered into [the shaykh’s] presence and noticed the same bench that I saw on the mountain peak – I was astonished. Shaykh Abu’l Hasan As-Shadhili said, ‘You have found the vicegerent of the age. What is your name?’ So I informed him of my name and lineage.

He said, ‘Ten years ago I raised you up to myself.’ From that day onwards he accompanied Shaykh Abu’l Hasan al-Shadhili and travelled with him to Egypt. Al-Shadhili noticed that Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi had a pure spirit and a good soul keen to approach his Lord. He gave him many gifts and took personal care of his spiritual nurturing because he would become his vicegerent after him. He said, “O Abu’l ‘Abbas, I swear by Allah that you did not accompany me, until I became you and you became me. O Abu’l ‘Abbas, you have what the men of Allah have but the men of Allah do not have what you have.” Amongst the narrations that have reached us about Abu’l Hasan al-Shadhili that are renowned in the spiritual circles is, “Since Abu’l ‘Abbas reached Allah he has not been veiled; even if he sought a veil, he could not find it. Abu’l ‘Abbas knows the causeways of the skies better than the causeways of the Earth.” It is authenticated that Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi accompanied Shaykh al-Shadhili and became the leader in the path after Imam al-Shadhili. Before this, Abu’l ‘Abbas married one of the daughters of al-Shadhili; who gave birth to children, amongst them Mubammad and Abmad.

One of his daughters married Shaykh YaqUt al-Arshi who was one of her father’s students in knowledge and mysticism. In the Islamic year 642H [1244 AD], Shaykh al-Shadhili saw the Prophet Mubammad in his sleep who ordered him to move to Egypt.

So he left Tunisia with Abu’l ‘Abbas, his brother ‘Abdullah and his servant Abu al-‘Azayim. They headed for Alexandria under the protection of the King al-Oalib Najmuddin AyyUb. Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi said, “I was with Shaykh Abu’l Hasan al-Shadhili headed for Alexandria on our way from Tunisia when I was overcome by a severe constriction. It weakened me until I could not bear its burden so I went to Shaykh Abu’l Hasan. When he felt my presence he said, ‘O Abmad?’ I replied, ‘Yes, my master.’ He said, ‘Allah created Ādam with his hands, prostrated the angels to him, made his abode Paradise then sent him to Earth.

Before he was created Allah said, ‘I will place a vicegerent upon the Earth,’ he did not say ‘in the sky’ nor ‘in Paradise.’ The descent of Ādam (upon him peace) to Earth was honourable, not dishonourable. He used to worship Allah, in Paradise, through experiential knowledge and when he was sent to Earth he worshipped through responsibility.

Only when someone has passed through these two stages of worship does he deserve to become a vicegerent. You have a share of Ādam. Your beginning was in the realm of the souls in Paradise, experientially. Then you descended to world of the soul and worshipped through responsibility. So only when you passed through these stages did you deserve to become a vicegerent.” Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi said, “As soon as the Shaykh finished this explanation, Allah expanded my chest and the constriction and the whisperings that I had, left.” Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi said, “When we arrived in Alexandria, we came to ‘AmUd al-Sawari. We were in need and extremely hungry.

A righteous man of Alexandria came with food. When the Shaykh was informed he said, “No one should eat any of this food.” We spent the night as we entered it, hungry. Morning came and the Shaykh led us in the dawn prayer then instructed us to bring the food; we presented it and ate from it. The Shaykh said, “I heard a voice in my dream that said the most permissible item is that which you did not expect, and that which you did not request a man or a woman for.” We settled down in the province of Kowm ad-Dakat.

For the lessons of knowledge and spiritual gatherings al-Shadhili chose a famous masjid called masjid al-A’tareen – also known as the masjid of the West. These lessons and gatherings were attended by a large number of the elite of Alexandria as well as the public. This was not by mere accident as Alexandria was, during this time, a distinguished city and a place of learning various major sciences. This was noticed by major figures before al-Shadhili and al-Mursi had taken residency there.

The attendees of the lessons had included al- Tartawshi, Ibn al-Khattab al-Razi and kafii Abu Tahir al-Salafi. Oalah al-Din al-AyUbi was keen to spend the month of Ramadan in Alexandria in order to listen to Prophetic traditions from al-Hafii Abu Tahir al-Salafi. Abu’l ‘Abbas continued to strive with al-Shadhili in terms of his spiritual nurturing and proceeded upon the path. He did not leave him for a moment until al-Shadhili passed away. Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi spent forty three years in Alexandria spreading knowledge, purifying souls, nurturing students and setting examples of piousness and devotion. Many received knowledge at the hands of Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi, scholars and companions alike, such as Imam al-Bu.iri, Ibn ‘Ata’illah Al-Sakandari, YaqUt al-Arshi, Ibn al-Laban, ‘Izz al-Din ibn ‘Abd al-am, Ibn AbU Shama and others. He passed away on the twenty fifth of Dhul Qa’ida in the Islamic year 686/1287 and was buried with his sons Mubammad and Abmad in the province of “Ras al-Teen.” Abu’l ‘Abbas received the leadership of the Shadhili spiritual path after the passing away of Abu’l Hasan al-Shadhili in the Islamic year 656/1258.

At that time he was forty years old and he remained holding the banner of knowledge and spirituality until he died. After he had spent forty years in Alexandria the shine of the Shadhili path finally passed on into the horizon.

The States of Man According to Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi Imam Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi 4 apportioned the states of man into four they are; Blessing, Tribulation, Obedience and disobedience. I swear by Allah, in every state there is a right of servitude that is necessary upon you through divine decree.. In states of obedience be grateful for the blessings from Allah upon you.

Allah guided you to it and established you therein.. In states of disobedience seek forgiveness.. In states of blessing show gratitude thus joining the heart with Allah..

In states of tribulation, be satisfied with the decree [of Allah] and be patient. The Greatest Invocation Imam Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi used to advise others to invoke the name of Allah. He advised his companions to make their invocation the name of Allah because it is the name of the Ruler of the Heavens.

To Him is increase and benefit; the increase is knowledge and the benefit is light. The light is not an intention in itself, it is only to support and uncover. All of the names of Allah can be attributed to creation except the name Allah. An example of this is when you call him “O Patient” you address him from the name “The Patient.” He is“The Patient” and his servant is “patient.” If you call him “Noble”, you address him from the name “The Noble.” He is “The Noble” and his servant is “noble.” This is likewise for all the names of Allah except the name Allah, this is solely his; as it is constitutes divinity and cannot be attributed to creation. From the Speech of Our Master Abu’l ‘Abbas al-Mursi.

The Prophets (upon them peace) are presents to their nations; our Prophet is a gift. The difference between a present and a gift is, a present is for the needy and a gift is for the lovers. The Messenger of Allah said, “I am only a merciful gift.”. He commented on the Prophetic statement of our master the Messenger of Allah, “Without boast, I am the master of the children of Adam.” Meaning he is not boasting about his mastery but he is boasting about his servitude to Allah mighty and majestic.. The entire existence is subservient and you are a servant in His presence..

I swear by Allah that I did not sit with the people because they plundered what I had. Someone said to me, “If you do not sit with them so that they can take from you, then we will not bestow unto you.”. For forty years the Messenger of Allah has not been veiled from me for a blink of an eye. If the Messenger of Allah was veiled from me; I would not consider myself to be a part of the Muslim nation..

Encompassment is of two types: major and minor. Minor encompassing is for the commonality of this group in that that the Earth is folded up for them from its east to its west within a single soul. Major encompassment is that of the peculiarities of the soul.
