THE REALITY OF THE PATH OF TIJJANIYAH

"حقيقة الطريقة التجانية"

FALSEHOOD AGAINST THE SUFI MASTERS

‎الكذب على السادة الصوفية

Author: Sheikh Sharif Ibrahim Saleh Alhussaini Grand Mufti of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

‎الكاتب: الكبريت الأحمر العلامة مولانا شيخ الإسلام شريف إبراهيم صالح الحسني مفتي ديار نيجيريا

‎"...ولقد قامت عدة محاولات لإعادة طبع كتب الطريق، مع التصيح والتحقيق لما جاء فيها على طريقة العلماء ولقد قامت عدة محاولات لإعادة طبع كتب الطريق، مع التصيح والتحقيق لما جاء فيها على طريقة العلماء والمحققين. نسأل الله أن يسهل ذلك ويعجل به، وأن يحفظنا من التعصب الأعمى والتطرف الذى خدم به أهداف أعداء الشيخ، أكثر من كل شيء. وما من شك إنه دس على كثيرين من الأئمة ما ليس من أقوالهم كذبا وإفتراء.

"...Indeed, several effort were undertaken to re-publish the books of Tariqah, with authenticating and confirming what came in them from scholars and researchers. We ask Allah to make it easily and expeditiously swift. And may He prevent us from blind fanaticism and extremism, which served the goal of the enemies of Sheikh more than anything else. And there is no doubt that many statements were attributed and concocted (in the books) of many Imams and scholars which were not their statements, just mere falsehood and fabrication.

‎فقد كذب على الشيخ محي الدين بن العربي، وكذب على الإمام أحمد، وعلى الشيخ مجد الدين الفيروز آبادي، صاحب القاموس، كما دس على الشيخ الشعراني، ودس على الشيخ التجاني، رضي الله عنه، وقد قال الشيخ التجاني رضى الله عنه عندما سئل: أيكذب عليك؟ قال : "إذا سمعتم عني شيئا فزنوه بميزان الشرع فإن وافق فأعملوا به، وإن خالف فأتركوه".

Indeed, (they) fabricated lies against Sheikh Muhyi Deen Bunul Arabi, Imamu Ahmad, Sheikh Majdi Deen Al-Fairuz Abaadi, the author of "Qamoos" (Compendium/Encyclopedia). Just as (they) concocted (lies) against Sheikh Sha'arani and Sheikh Tijjani may Allah be please with them. Sheikh Tijjani said when he was asked: Would (people) fabricate lies against you? He answered saying: "When you hear something (attributed) to me, weigh it with the scale of the Shariah, if it coincides with it work with it and if it contradicts it reject it".

‎وقد أعلن أصحاب الشيخ الذين عاصروه، أن فى الكتب المنسوبة للطريق أقوالاً حرفت عن الشيخ، وأقوالاً لم يقلها، ومؤلف جواهر المعاني نفسه، ذكر أنه لم يتلق كل ما ذكر فيه عن الشيخ، وأنه روى بعضه عن قوم عنه....

Infact the companions of Sheikh (Tijjani) who were his contemporaries made it known that in the books that are attributed to the Tariqah, there are some statements that were fabricated against Sheikh which he never said. And even the author of "Jawahiril Ma'ani" himself had admitted that not all what he wrote in it that he heard from Sheikh, but he rather narrated part of it from some people (who claimed they had heard from him)....

‎وقد ذكر مولانا شيخ إبراهيم نياس في كتابه "البيان والتبيين عن التجانية والتجانيين" : "...وأقرر هنا حقيقة لها قيمتها العظمى، وهى أن النسخ المطبوعة من الجواهر، وهى المتداولة بين الإخوان، تحتوى على أشياء كثيرة لا وجود لها فى نسخة المؤلف.

So Maulana Sheikh Ibrahim Niass mentioned in his book, "Clarification & Commentary About Tijjaniyah & Tijjaniyans": "...And I hereby stress upon a reality which is of great value. It is the fact that the printed version of "Jawahirul Ma'ani" which is circulating around the brothers contains many things which are not in the author's (original hand written) version.

‎وقد تحققت ذلك لأني قد درَّستُ كتاب "جواهر المعاني" عدة مرات لأفواج كثيرة من كبار الطلبة التجانيين، وبمحضر جماعات من علمائهم فى مدرستي، وكنت دائما أستعمل نسختي المخطوطة، وهم يتابعون بالنسخة المطبوعة، وكنت أنبههم دائما على الزيادات الموجودة فى كتبهم، والتى لا توجد فى نسخة المؤلف....

I was certain about that because on several occasions, I was lecturing numerous senior students of Tijjaniyah the content of "Jawahirul Ma'ani" and many scholars of my school would attend. So I would always use my hand-written version, while they would be following (the lesson) with the printed version. And I used to inform them about the additions or insertions in their books and those that are not available in the author's version....

‎ولقد أخبرت الخليفة التجاني، بمصر، الشيخ محمد الحافظ، بهذه الحقيقة المكتشفة فاستعار مني النسخة ليدرسها مع مجموعة من العلماء التجانيين، منهم عمدة مدينة الإسماعيلية، وقد ثبت لهم بالدراسة المقارنة صحة ما قلت لهم، وعند ذلك طلب مني الأخ المذكور أن أقرر ذلك كتابة يحتفظ بها وينشرها عند الحاجة فساعدته على ما طلب.

And I have informed the Khalifah of (Sheikh) Tijjani in Egypt Sheikh Muhammadul Hafiz about this discovered reality, and he borrowed the version from me to study it with a group of Tijjanyah scholars among them was the governor of Isma-eliyyah. So upon comparative studies, what I told them was authenticated. And then the aforementioned brother (Sheikh Hafiz) requested me to print it out so he would circulate it when the need arise and I did assist him on request.

‎ وأننى على أستعداد للتعاون مع كل من يريد بحث هذه الرسالة فالنسخة الأصلية المذكورة لم تزل عندي - ولله الحمد- كما أني اطلعت على النسخة التي كتبها الشيخ محمد الحافظ التجاني العلوي الشنقيطي، فرأيتها موافقة لنسختي، ولا غرو فإن الدس فى كتب العلماء قديم ومعروف لدى الباحثين، وأسبابه متعددة. ونحن -والحمدلله - على بصيرة من أمر طريقتنا التجانية المحمدية المباركة.

And I am ever ready to assist whoever wants to do research in this book, as the original version mentioned is still with me - And all praise is due to Allah - As I reviewed the version which was written by Sheikh Muhammadul Hafiz Al-Tijjani Al-Shiqiti, and found it matching my version. And it is no wonder, because fabrication and falsification (lies) in the books of scholars is an old practice and it is well known by researchers. And there are many reasons for that. As for us - Walilahil Hamd - We are upon the right track in the affairs of our blessed Tariqah of Tijjaniyah Muhammadiyah.

‎وقد طالعت كتابا قيما ألفه، العلامة القاضي أحمد سكيرج، سماه: "جناية المنتسب فيما ينسب إلى الشيخ التجاني بالكذب" وهو كتاب كثير الفائدة فى بابه، وقد طبع فى القاهرة، بإشراف فضيلة الشيخ محمد الحافظ التجانى".

In fact, I read an amazing book written by a scholar and a judge Ahmad Sukairaj, enitled: "Crime (Felony) of the Attributor in what is Attributed to Sheikh Tijjani of Lies". It is a book with numerous benefit in its chapters. It was published in Cairo under the supervision of his eminence Sheikh Muhammadul Hafiz Al-Tijjani".

Compiled & Translated By: Husseini Baba Al-Waiz (New York) - A tutor, author, journalist and translator of mostly books and speeches of prominent scholars esp. sufis).

BELOW IS THE FABRICATION WE TRY TO DEBUNK MAY ALLAH OPEN THE EYES OF THESE ENEMIES OF THE SUFI MASTERS TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH AND STOP ACCUSING THEM OF KUFUR & BLASPHEMY...!!!

THE EVILS OF TIJJAANIYYAH'S AQEEDAH (CREED) THAT TAKES ONE OUT OF ISLAAM:

References from their (sufi) books;

(1).It's mentioned in FAT'HU RABBAANY page 60,that; praying salat in Zaawiyyah of shehu(their sheikh)is better than praying in Makkah, because it's mandatory for Allah to accept it.

(2).It's mentioned in YAKUTATIL-FAREEDAH page 5 that: Tijjani's position is more superior than 40 prophets in Al-jannah(paradise ).

(3).it's mentioned in Al-Fauzu Wannajat page 891 that:Their Waliyy(Sheikh)used to come out from their graves to answer the prayers of those in need.

(4).it's mentioned in Jawaahirul-Ma'aany page 631that:One Salaatil-Faatihi(their invented prayer on prophet)equals six thousand(6000)Al-Qur'aan in recitation.

(5).it's mentioned in Akhwalil-Adillati wal-Barahin page 751 that:Has it not be for Tijjani, all the creatures wouldn't have live,and he(Tijjani )is the caliph(Successor)of the prophet.

(6).it's mentioned by Ibrahim a.k.a Inyas or IB that: He is the soul of all the creatures, without him they can't live.Reference: Afdalul-Wasaa'il page 181.written by ILYAS Tukur, and was printed in Egypt.

(7).it's mentioned in Al-khulaasatu Al-Wafiyyah page 16,written by Muhammad Sa'ad, which was printed in Sudan, that: All the honours and positions Hadithul-Qudisi has,Salaatil Faatihi also has it,because they're equal in degrees.

(8).it's mentioned in Yakhtatil-Fareedah page 11 that:All the demeanor,disposement and behaviors(Tasarruf in Arabic)of all the creatures in the heavens and the earth is the works and doing of Tijjani.

(9).it's mentioned in Kitaabu Mauludi Tijjany page 43,written by Muhammad Shankidiyy' that:The beautiful name of Allah "Al-Baasitu"(The-Extender)is for Tijjani.ie him too has that power and quality to Extend.

(10).it's mentioned in a book called Muni'atul-Mureedi page 46 that:Any follower of Tijjani will not enter Hell-Fire, even if he/she killed 70 people.

All this are kufur statements....

Be a Muslim not a tijaniyah...

#Copied

JUST LIKE HOW THE BIBLE AND TORAH HAD SUFFERED SO MUCH FABRICATED VERSIONS, SO AS THE BOOKS OF THESE HIGHLY SAINTLY SUFI SCHOLARS ARE BEING MANIPULATED WITH LIES BY THEIR ENEMIES....!!!

REJOINDER

Ya Sub Hanah, just imagine this fabrication attributed to Sheikh Ahmadal Tijjani...lol..:

2).It's mentioned in YAKUTATIL-FAREEDAH page 5 that: Tijjani's position is more superior than 40 prophets in Al-jannah(paradise ).

Now the Reality Check:

Sheikh Tijjani when comparing the status of awliyah (saints) and that of the sahabah or companions of the Prophet (not even the prophets), he said the sahabah are like a super speeding bird species called qataa as compared to the awliyah saints who are like the ants.

So how could one possibly compare the speed or divine proximity of a bird and an ant who doesnt even have wings to fly with in the first place???....lol

Another Concert Comedy Party of the Fabricators....lol:

6) it's mentioned by Ibrahim a.k.a Inyas or IB that: He is the soul of all the creatures, without him they can't live.Reference: Afdalul-Wasaa'il page 181.written by ILYAS Tukur, and was printed in Egypt.

Now the Reality Check:

Maulana Sheikh Ibrahim Niass in several stanzas of his eulogy to the Prophet humbled himself so much to an extent that he wrote in one of such stanzas: How he wish he was the drinking water of the Prophet or drinking cup of the Prophet or the sand under the shoes of the Prophet (what an execessive, extaordinary and exceptional kind of love is this???)....In one of the books of Sheikh Sharif Ibrahim Saleh which I partly translated two years ago, he wrote that, while Sheikh was sick and bed-ridden, he advised his last wife Sayyadah Bilqis of Nigeria to go home and get married when he dies, since he was not a prophet, because the prophets that any other person can not marry their wives after their death...!!!
