Sheikh Mohammad Othman Siraj Eddine reading the Holy Quraan in Doroud - Iran in the year 1960

The method is a private course of sophism adopted by the follower to attain his target of ideal faith which leads to Real Truth or mere certainty. Here the faith is no more traditional or proved by evidences might be shaken by doubts, for the follower sees by his foresight, nothing affects him. Imam Rabbani said in his pamphlets that the discrepancy, between the legislators’ faith and the perfect sheikh’s faith is that the first is achieved by evidence and proofs where as the second is achieved through revealing and tasting. No matter which method is used the end is only one, applying the Mohammadiah legislation. As there were great painstaking - masters -excelled and left various doctrines and straight methods in the Islamic legislation illustrated for the coming generations its concept and aims such as: Imam Malek Ben Anas (715 - 795 A.D.) Imam Abi Hanifa (699 - 767 A.D.) Imam Mohammad Ben Idris Shafeée (767 - 820 A.D.) Imam Ahmad Ben Hanble (780-855 A.D.)

As well as others diligent ones studied these teachings deeply and established remarked, distinguished schools; there were, on the other hand, learned men in the sophistic medium who established new methods and courses and were followed by many spiritual lovers to attain the ideal faith such as:

As well as other tens who founded private courses following one main source to instruct the followers till the end.

On the ordinary level we say that we can make of maze various kinds of bread and pastries as of meat and rice various kinds of food each has its own taste inspite the same origin and matter at the end of all is to achieve satiety, (full being) entertainment and anabolism (building up) of the strong healthy body.

Thus as the Islamic doctrines all aim to clarify the course of worshipping, the Islamic legislation decrees, and Sunah Nabowieya rules to produce a procedure. For life: the sophism aim as well to strengthen the ideal faith and to conduct the follower to ideal faith, “mere certainty” to be satisfied, comfortable to apply the Islamic legislation.

Thus, for the sophistic Naqshbandi course a certain strategy to orient his Mureedens to their targets.

The Rifaia strategy, for example is characterized by the audible invocation. On the other side, the Al-Mawlaweyah strategy is characterized reading verses, invocation and audible ceremonies. The Naqshbandia has certain private awrad for their own. To sum up, no matter how they agree or disagree through their courses of Al-Award, invocation, mottos, all pour in one main stream aim, which is to know Allah praise be to Him, to satisfy Him, and be close to Him. These are schools determined by the tutors and assiduous Sheikhs of sophism by Allah guidance, praise to Him. Allah says: Wattaquo Allah Wa Yuallimukum Allah” means: Bakara chapter –282- be meek, and He will instruct you. Also He said in Ankabout chapter – verse 69 “Wallatheena Jahdou Feenah Lanahdeyannahom Subulana” Quraan Karrem. Means: Those who sought assiduity, we promise to guide them to our righteous courses. Thus Allah taught and guided them, so they inturn guide their Mureedens to these courses, after they had climbed up hopefully seeking the knowledge of Allah. As the doctor who discovers a remedy to a certain disease, so he prescribes it to his patients. Thus they instruct and guide the followers to attain the submit, which is the 1) prophet’s teachings, 2) the meek ancestors’ biography, and mode of life. The companions and the followers whose origin is the Holly Quraan and the prophet Mohammad, God may have mercy and bless upon him.

I already mentioned that there is no difference between the Islamic legislation and the sophistic course, just that the sophistic disconnects himself from earthly attachment to invoke, meditate, so his heart will be purified. His faith increased to be mere certainty, so he applied the Islamic legislation faithfully, but those who deviate from the Islamic legislation. Sophism will deny him, and he’ll be freed from sophism.

Here I will identify the following:

1. What is the nature of Naqshband course to attain the summit of the spiritual hopes?

2. How did the Naqshbandia emerge? Who are its chairmen (God bless them)?

3. When and why was this course called Naqshbandia?
