There are misguided people in this strange modern world who continuously attack and seek to demolish the spiritual heart of the religious way of life. They have already demolished the spiritual heart of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism and are now targeting Islam. They vilify authentic Scholars and the Intimates of Allah Y falsely accusing them of being profoundly misguided to the end of engaging in acts of polytheism (shirk). They are people who have consciously or unconsciously, joined the ranks of those enemies of Islam who are waging a war on Islam and Muslims around the world. They themselves are unaware that they have become instruments in the hands of those who dismantled the political system of Islam by closing down the Caliphate on the 3 March 1924. The Spiritual Heartland of Islam was handed to the Saudi Family and hence the effective usage of our international parliament, the Hajj, has been reduced to a set of rituals.

Being nurtured physically and spiritually, under the loving care of my paternal grandmother Sayyida Khatun Bibi Soofie y, at the Khanqah of my paternal great grandfather Hazrath Soofie Sahib t in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in an atmosphere of love and constant sending of salutations on the Holy Prophet Muhammad e, The Beloved of Allah Y, commemoration of The Birth of the Light of this Universe, weeping out of love at the annual Remembrance of the Martyrs of Karbala, recognising that blessings and emanation of Divine Light flow through this Blessed Lineage, the Sublime Ali t, the Illumined Fatimah t, the magnificent daughter of the Holy Prophet e, and their sons Imam Hassan t and Imam Husayn t and Remembering the Intimates of Allah Y (Ur’s Shareef), the personifications of Divine Love instilled a spark of love in my heart. In my grandmother I saw the personification of the Blessed Hadith in the collection of Imam Tirmidhi narrated by Hazrath Abd Allah ibn Salaam t as the first word he heard from the Messenger of Allah e:
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ وَأَطْعِمُوْا الطَّعَامَ وَصِلُوا الْأَرْحَامَ وَصَلُّوْا بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ تَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ
O people! Spread the greeting of peace (salaam), feed others, maintain family ties, and pray at night when others sleep and you will enter Heaven safely.
The annual functions held at our khanqahs, at the other Sufi Order khanqahs and held by various other people were occasions of great joy and happiness. People from all walks of life; men and women of all ages; some from far and wide; laymen and professionals; spiritual teachers and disciples; their radiant faces reflecting their pure and clean hearts, turned every gathering into a garden of paradise, watered by the rain of divine mercy. The love called hubb fi-Allah Y - love for the sake of Allah Y - turned strangers into friends, due to the sincere greeting of Peace (salaam), family ties were strengthened and food was served to one and all irrespective of cast, creed or religion. The rendition of the verses of the Holy Qur'aan, spiritual songs and lectures made people weep tears of reverent affection. This Spiritual Banquet not only nurtured the body but infused light and nourished the heart with the love of Allah Y, the Holy Prophet Muhammad e and the Awliya. This was the power of unity and love for the sake of Allah Y that transformed dead hearts into illumined hearts. The Sultan of Love, the Mercy of Allah Y in the Universe the Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad e told us as reported in Sahih Muslim:
بِأَنَّ اﷲَ قَدْ أَحَبَّکَ کَمَا أَحْبَبْتَهُ فِيْهِ
Allah Y loves those that love each other for the sake of Allah Y.
These functions were held in an atmosphere of love in a way that would be accessible to everyone who had the heart, not as a segregated religion. Thus hearts were enthroned with, and entrained in love. The Holy Prophet Muhammad e said:
أَلاَ وَ إنَّ فِىْ الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلاَ وَ هِيَ الْقَلْبُ- رَوَاهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ وَ مًسْلِمٌ
Beware in the body there is a lump of flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt, and behold, it is the heart."
This is because the entire body is in entrainment with the heart; so if the heart is diseased then the entrainment will be diseased and if the heart is sound the entrainment will be sound.
As a troop of soldiers walk across a bridge in unison or entrainment their
movement causes the bridge to vibrate. If the soldiers are in step and if the
frequency of their step is the same as the natural vibration of the bridge, the
bridge could collapse. This is because the applied vibration of the troop causes
the
bridge to resonate i.e. its amplitude (size) of vibration becomes larger and
uncontrollable. When we are united we have power and when we are disunited we
become weak. The heart has a power to literally entrain the body. The brain and
the heart must be entrained.
To bring the heart back to life is to recognize that the heart has died. There are many reasons for the spiritual death of the heart and one of the signs that the heart is dead is that people don’t weep. Another sign is that when one hears the Holy Qur’aan it has no impact on the heart. When one hears a lecture (waiz) and it has no impact is another sign. It can also be vice-versa, that the lecturer (waiz) has a spiritually dead heart. So probably we are the dead talking to the dead.
The Caliphate was abolished on the 3 March1924 / 27 Rajab 1342 due to a Euro / Zionist plot. This had paved the way for the Spiritual Heartland of Islam, Makkah and Madinah, under Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud, to be transformed into the Monarchy of Saudi Arabia under the protection of an unholy ‘predatory elite’ alliance of the Euro/Zionist’s and Saudi’s. Only those scholars who were prepared to skilfully skip and dance to the tunes of those who control power were allowed the unfettered freedom to preach a sanitized cosmetic version of Islam acceptable to the godless rulers of the world and their ‘so-called’ spiritual voice, the ‘house-Ulama’. Ulama and Muftis emerged from the Islamic Institutions built with petro-dollars, declaring all who did not follow this sanitized cosmetic version of Islam as being out of the pale of Islam. Islamic books, including classical texts were manipulated and changed. Books reprinted in later editions have certain important issues related to the basic faith of Islam removed from it with the help of publishing houses which where purchased by the Saudi Regime. Many innocent students, very sincerely wanting to study in the Spiritual Heartland of Islam didn't even realize that their Islamic books had been changed, and teachings with a deep spiritual bearing, the essence of Islam, had been removed with the help of modern computers and printing technology.
The teachings of majority agreement in the scholarship of our scholars who protected this religion called Ahle as-Sunnah wa'l-Jam'ah, أهل السنة والجماعة "People who follow the inner and outer dimensions of the tradition of the Holy Prophet Muhammad e and the obedience and love of his companions for him" are now being questioned. The spiritual virus has been released into the Muslim World. This has led to families being split, communities being at loggerheads with one another and division in the community of unison. Those who should have waged a jihad against an interest-centred economy and a caliph-less Muslim world were tricked into waging an obnoxious jihad against the belief system of Islam. Some Muslims as a result of their intellectual perversion have ceased to live soulfully i.e. from within. The present moment is one of the greatest crises in the history of Islam. My purpose for writing this book is a humble attempt to firstly enlighten my immediate family, which has also been infected with this virus and my brothers and sisters in Islam. It is my obligation to identify the truth and lovingly pray for the victim's salvation.
Muslims, schooled by ‘petro/dollars scholars’ are emerging as the major controlling force in Many Muslim communities, unaware that they are groping in the darkness of utter confusion; and in sheer ignorance are adopting the external sunnah whilst neglecting the more important internal dimension. Important beliefs held by the Islamic community which are of a spiritual bearing are being rejected, and the personality of the Holy Prophet e is being questioned. The status of his true heirs, the Awliya Allah Y is being rejected. The essence of true Faith is an undoubting love for the Holy Prophet e, then, and only then, will actions (a’maal) have the desired effect. Imaan is weakened and only lifeless ritualistic gymnastics remain.
It is these Muslims who have accepted the Saudi-Wahabi alliance that no longer recognizes Allah Y as sovereign, but have vested this sovereignty in the hands of kings and presidents, who are having a spiritual cardiac arrest, but are unaware of it. Accepting the monarchy in the absence of the Caliphate is the biggest collective shirk that the modern Islamic Community is guilty of.
The huge oil wealth of Arabia belongs to the world of Islam. The handing over of the effective control of this oil wealth to American and European cartels is an act of treason. Growing Zionist influence over Middle East foreign policy in the governments of the West, and over decision-making in these international organizations, and the perception of a long-term Islamic threat to Israel, to western capitalism and democracy and to the secular model of society, which was designed to sustain them, lie at the very heart of the pressure which Muslim governments now face. The capacity of Muslim governments to resist such pressures becomes weaker and weaker as political and strategic vulnerability and the economic stranglehold of riba (interest) increase. Indeed the supreme game in the games of dominance, which constitute the New World Order, is political and strategic blackmail and economic and financial imperialism.
It is only the true Sufi's, who see with their hearts that can guide mankind back to Allah Y. The heart sees with light (Nur) that comes from Allah Y . Things are seen "as they are" and not as they "appear to be". Shaykh Abd al-Qaadir Jilaani t saw with this light, therefore he rooted out corruption in the Ummah and brought the Muslims back to light and love. Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti Gharib Nawaaz t saw with this light, therefore he planted Islam firmly, in the midst of an idol worshipping nation. Hazrath Ghulam Muhammad Siddiqui Chishti Nizami t popularly known as Soofie Sahib t saw with this light, therefore he left the land of the Khwajas to spread Islam in Southern Africa. The graduates of the Modern 'Protestant' Islamic institutes, like the Saudi Universities and Darul Uloom Deoband can never lead this Ummah. They have left the light and hence they cannot see.
I am eternally grateful to my Spiritual Guide, Hazrath Ghulam Muhayuddeen Kazi Chishti Nizami Soofie for clasping the hand of this unworthy lowly slave of his, with his blessed hand, fixing his spiritual gaze upon the spark of love in my heart, setting it ablaze with the exquisite Wine of Love and placing me in the radiant circle of eternal Divine Remembrance formed by the highest companions of love. It is through my Spiritual Guides spiritual gaze that I was blessed to sit in the company of great spiritual luminaries like Hazrath Sayed Khalid Shah Chishti Sabri t, Hazrath Kassim Bawa Faridi t, Hazrath Sayed Poona Wale Shah Chishti Nizami t, Hazrath Sayed Mahboob Ali Shah Chishti Nizami t, Hazrath Ambar Shah Warsi t, Hazrath Sayed Nasiruddeen Chishti Nizami t, Hazrath Maulana Sufi Ikraam Shah Sabri t and Hazrath Ghulam Jilaani Chishti Sabri Quddusi and benefit from their hearts burning with love.
I remain eternally, grateful to Dr Maulana Fazlur Rahman Ansari al-Qadri t, whose thought provoking lectures, answered questions knocking on the door of my intellect, thereby setting me on the path of researching, for the pleasure of Allah Y. Allah Y indeed blessed me to meet with, Dr Maulana Fazlur Rahman Ansari al-Qadri t’s finest product, in my opinion, Shaykh Imran Nazar Hosein, who taught me the importance of seeing with both eyes. For the bulk of my material utilised in the opening chapters of this book I acknowledge Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, whose lectures, shaped my trend of thought, I acknowledge using some of his words, as is, due to the paucity of my language skills. I am forever indebted to Shaykh al-Islam Maulana Shafi Okarvi al-Qadri t, Shaykh al-Islam Sayyid Muhammad Madni Ashrafi al-Jilaani, Shaykh al-Islam Dr. Maulana Muhammad Tahir al-Qadri and all the Ulama and Spiritual Guides of the Ahle as-Sunnah wa'l-Jam'ah for their guidance and knowledge in keeping us under the blessed feet of those who truly possess the intense love of the Holy Prophet Muhammad e.
