Abu al-Hasan al-Shadhili (Arabic: أبو الحسن الشاذلي) (full name: Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Jabbār al-Ḥasanī wal-Ḥusaynī al-Shādhilī) also known as Sheikh al-Shadhili (593–656 AH) (1196–1258 AD) was an influential Moroccan Islamic scholar and Sufi, founder of the Shadhili Sufi order.When asked who his spiritual master was, he used to reply, “I used to be the close follower of Abd as-Salam ibn Mashish,
but still I am drinking the water of wisdom from five ponds Jibril, Mikhail, Israfil, Izra’il, Rooh.” Shaykh Abul-Abbas al-Mursi (d. 1288), who succeeded Shaykh ash-Shadhili as the spiritual master of the Order, was asked about the knowledge of his spiritual master and replied, “He gave me forty sciences. He was an ocean without a shore.” He taught his close followers to lead a life of contemplation and remembrance of Allah while performing the normal everyday activities of the world. He disliked initiating any would-be follower unless that person already had a profession. His admonition to his close followers was to apply the teachings of Islam in their own lives in the world and to transform their existence. Shadhili wrote several devotional recitations, prayers and letters, some of which remain today. One of the best known poems is his “Litany of the Sea” hizb al-Bahr)
AL-MAHDI’S APPEARANCE IS RELIEF FOR THE UMMAH

Ṭarīqatunā aṣ-Suḥbah wa l-Khayru fi l-Jam‘iyyah.
Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَكُونُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
(Qur’ān 09:119).
‘‘Yā ‘Ayyuhā l-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū t-Taqū l-Llaha Wa Kūnū Ma’a s-Sādiqīn’’
‘’O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful.’’
Insha’Allah we always ask that we be with the truthful ones. AlhamduliLlah Allāh ﷻ sends the righteous and we meet them. Whoever is destined to go somewhere will come from anywhere in the world and go there. AlhamduliLlah, today, this year, in this month, insha’Allah this meeting is blessed with you, the people of As-Saʻīd (Upper Egypt), the people of Sufism, the lovers of the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, the lovers of Ahlu l-Bayt, the lovers of the righteous ones and the Awliya.
AlhamduliLlah, “هََٰ ذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِِّي لَكُم”,
“Hadha Min Fadhli Rabbi Lakum”,
“This is from the grace of my Lord for you.” Because now there are Fitan (discords) in the world. Shaytan is adorning for them the falsehood as it is the truth.
They don’t like to honor whom Allāh ﷻ honored. Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla honored our Prophet Muhammad salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, and those on his ﷺ way from Ahlu l-Bayt, the righteous ones, the companions and the Awliya. He ﷻ honored
them all. This exists here in this country, in Egypt in general and in As-Saʻīd in particular: AlhamduliLlah the love of the Messenger of Allah , ﷺ and the love of all the companions. There is no differentiation between the companions. Whoever differentiates between the companions is against our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam says :
ِ أصحابي كالنِّجوم بأيِّهم اِقتديتُم اِهتديتُم
“Aṣhābī kā n-nujūm bi ayyihim qtadaytum htadaytum”
“My companions are as the stars. Whichever you follow, you will be in Hidayah (guided).” This is the saying of the Messenger of Allāh ﷻ salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. He ﷺ said, “My companions, my beloved ones.” Do you know better than the Prophet ﷺ? AstaghfiruLlah. Ḥāshā! (far from it). Ḥāshā and never! What our Holy Prophet ﷺ says is upon the head and the eye. If this head and eye do not accept, there is no need for the head or the eye. There is no need at all. He mustn’t say: “I follow the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ. I am a Muslim. I am a scholar. I am learned. You Sufis are polytheists. You do not follow the Qur’an. You do not follow the Prophet ﷺ”
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam speaks words from his ﷺ honorable mouth, we must follow them. These are the instructions of the Messenger of Allāh, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Because all the people of Sufism have taken from a chain from the Messenger of Allah, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam: one by one, one by one until it reaches this time.
Those who do not take from the Messenger of Allah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam are these new movements that came after the Messenger of Allah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. They have no connection to Sayyidina Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Here [in this case], their way is fundamentally corrupt. From the days of Sayyidina Abu Bakr radiya Llahu ‘anhu, Sayyidina Omar radiya Llahu ‘anhu, Sayyidina Othman radiya Llahu ‘anhu and Sayyidina Ali radiya Llahu ‘anhum: Fitan appeared after them. Those [corrupt ones] have no connection with the Messenger of Allah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
The connection is through Sayyidina Abu Bakr radiya Llahu ‘anhu, through Sayyidina Ali Karrama Llahu Wajhah (May Allah exalt his face). All of them sought from the Messenger of Allah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, reaching to the Messenger of Allah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. This is the beauty that we see in your country, in Aswan and in the rest of the cities and places, the people of As- Saʻīd, the lovers of Allāh ﷻ, the lovers of the Messenger of Allāh , ﷺ, the lovers of Awliya’uLlah.
“بِهِم تُمْ طَرُون، بِهِم تُر ْ زَقُون ، بِهِم تُنْصَرُون”,
“Bihim tumṭarūn, bihim turzaqūn, bihim tunṣarūn.”
“Rain falls upon you by their Barakah. Rizq (provision) comes to you by their means. You reach victory by their means.”
Our Holy Prophet salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam said that about his ﷺ , Awliya, about the Aqtāb (poles), about the Abdāl (subsitutes) and about the Awtād (pillars). These are the inheritors of the Messenger of Allah, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
AlhamduliLlah in this month, insha’Allah after two days, there is a blessed night. And it happens alhamduliLlah that we will be in Egypt insha’Allah: it is Laylatul Ragha’ib. This is a blessed night. Whoever can – we are now traveling, if we weren’t traveling we would have fasted on Thursday. And Thursday night will be the night of [entry] of the month of Rajab insha’Allah. In our country, the calendar is set according to calculations. They say it [the first of Rajab] is on Friday. Insha’Allah it is Friday, according to the moon.
This is a blessed month, the month of Allāh ﷻ. The month of Sha’ban is the month of our Holy Prophetﷺ, the Messenger of Allah, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa- sallam. Ramadan is the month of the Ummah (nation). These three months are blessed months insha’Allah. It will be Barakah and goodness for Ummati Muhammad ﷺ, victory and conquest for the Ummati Muhammad ,ﷺ
We are in a difficult time; we are in the end of times. Almost all of these signs that the Messenger of Allah , salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam told about appeared. The Messenger of Allah , salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam , is a prophet ﷺ; prophet means prophecy. He ﷺ tells about the future, what will happen until the Day of Resurrection. The Messenger of Allah, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, says the truth in what he ﷺ said. Most of the signs that show the nearness of Qiyamah has appeared. Now insha’Allah there are major signs appearing. Insha’Allah Sayyidina Al-Mahdi – the biggest sign insha’Allah will be the appearance of Sayyidina Al- Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam and the descent of Sayyidina ‘Isa ‘alayhi s-salam. They will fight disbelief and spread Islam. Allāh ﷻ promised those who believed, and the Messenger of Allah, salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam promised that the whole world will be Muslim insha’Allah. The whole world will be in Islam. We ask Allāh ﷻ that it is near, a relief for the Ummah, a relief for humanity as well. Humanity now – the whole world is in darkness, in oppression, continuous oppression. This oppression and darkness will be wiped out by the king, the just Sultan, the Sultan, our master Al-Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salam, and he will reveal light and relief insha’Allah.
May Allāh ﷻ make us reach these days insha’Allah.
Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
