Sayyid Ali Cisse quote:
Sayyidi Aliyu Cisse may Allah be pleased with him said; “I have never thought for ones of becoming a SHEIKH unless only a MUREED (seeker)” then he said, “had MUREEDS known what the status of a TRUE MUREED was (which is a very high spiritual station), they would’ve stop seeking to be SHEIKHS and rather seek to be TRUE MUREEDS, because the status of a TRUE MUREED is much higher than that of a SHEIKH”.
May Allah grant us the patience to seek for the status of a TRUE MUREED … Ameen.
Ruhul Adab
- Because you would not be pleased with one who harms your servant
Even if he had done wrong, so fear your Lord
- And perpetuate in sadness and the remembrance of death,
Do not forget it; likewise, the questioning of the dead
- It is imperative that you first and foremost seek knowledge,
So that you may judge by the law of God
- And knowledge; I swear by my life it is the leader of all action
Just as has come down from TâHâ, the Best of the Messengers
- Seek four types of knowledge, O traveler on the Path!
The first of them is knowledge of the Majestic Lord
- The second is that you should know what relates to
Acts of worship, of that be certain!
- The third is the knowledge of the state of the soul
Its treachery, its plots and intrigues
