INTRODUCTION

All praise be to Allah, salutations and peace be upon
the Best of Creation and upon his ancestors, parents,
family, companions, successors, followers and those
martyred upon his way.

Allah Most High states, “O you who Believe! Fear
Allah and seek a means (waseela) towards Him,
and struggle in His way, in the hope of attaining
success.” [Sura Maa’idah 5:35]

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon
him) said, “A person will be resurrected with those
whom he loves.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

He also stated, “Man is upon the religion of his
friend. Be mindful of the friendship you keep.”
[Abu Dawud]

Hazrat Khawaja Baha’uddeen Shah Naqshband (mercy
be upon him) stated, “Whoever is initiated by us
(i.e. swears oath of allegiance (bay‘at) to us) and
follows us and loves us, whether he is near or far,
wherever he is, even if he is in the East and we
are in the West, we nourish him from the stream
of love and give him light in his daily life.”

5

Hazrat Imam–e–Rabbaani Mujaddid Alf–e–Saani (mercy
be upon him) stated, “The most clear difference
distinguishing real friends of Allah from liars is
that their words and actions are according to the
Shari‘at and those who are with them are filled
with the fear and love of Allah and don’t care
about other things. These signs are seen on those
who are in contact with the friends of Allah.
Those who have no relations with them are
deprived of everything!” [Maktoobaat Imam–e–
Rabbaani, Volume 2 Letter 92]

BARREN SHORES

Our Grand–Shaykh His Eminence Khawaja Sufi
Muhammad Aslam (mercy be upon him) was a selfless
man of endless favours and loving generosity who
brought the beautiful message of Islam to the U.K. in
1963. He worked tirelessly day and night to implant the
dhikr of Almighty Allah and His Blessed Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) in the hearts of countless
people, thus reviving dead hearts and causing them to
attain inner tranquility.

The way of the grand Master was one of simplicity,
humility, steadfastness upon the Sunnat and avoidance
of the Haraam. He rarely spoke, but in his silent
wisdom and enchanting vision he filled those around
him with the deep love of Allah and His Messenger. He
left for the eternal abode of bliss in 1999 and is buried
in the shrine of Shaadpur shareef, Jhelum, Pakistan.
The great Khawaja left behind an unparalleled legacy in
the form of his Tareeqa – arguably the most successful

6

in the U.K. and Europe. May Allah raise his rank and
forever keep this beautiful way alive till the end of time.
Ameen.

PRESENT ERA

Shaykh Khawaja Sufi Arshad Mahmood (may Almighty
Allah preserve him) is the prime khalifa of the Grand–
Shaykh (mercy be upon him) who sat in the presence
and service of his master for 27 years and took
practical and spiritual guidance from him.

The Shaykh has been doing the work of tareeqa since
1999 after the passing of Grand-Shaykh and by the
grace of Allah Most High has transformed the lives of
thousands of people worldwide, travelling globally to
serve humanity and to spread the message of Islam.

FOREWORD

This book is a guide for seekers on the Naqshbandi
Mujaddidi Aslami Arshadi way – in outlining its basic
recitations and daily dhikrs.

It is paramount for every seeker to learn and memorise
the dhikrs and implement the practices contained
within this booklet.

The purpose of this is to conform to the practices of the
Sunnat of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him) and to uphold the principles of the esteemed

7

Naqshbandi Way given to us by Shaykh Khawaja Sufi
Arshad Mahmood (may Almighty Allah preserve him).
His Eminence Khawaja Sufi Muhammad Aslam (mercy
be upon him) stated to his disciples, “I have
presented to you pure milk in the form of
remembrance of Almighty Allah and honey in the
form of love for the Beloved Prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him), so would you not prefer
this for your fellow brothers?” Thus the ultimate
aim for every seeker must be to struggle in both self-
purification and to invite all others towards this path of
Love.
Please also note that this volume is only a brief outline
of the practice of the Tareeqa. Real knowledge is never
acquired solely through books. In keeping with the real
spirit of the Qur’an al–Kareem and Hadeeth shareef, it
is necessary to seek and join the blessed company of
the pious people of Allah.

WAZEEFA (DAILY RECITATION)

Reciting the following Wazeefa daily is necessary upon
every follower of the Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Aslami
Arshadi Way before or after Fajr Salah (Morning
Prayer):

(100 times).‫َص َّلى ال هلى عَ ٰلى ََِيْبِي ىٖى ُهمَ َّم ىد َّواىٰليٖى َواَ بص َحابيٖى َو َسلَّ بىم‬

Sall–Allahu ‘Alaa Habeebihee Muhammadiw–wa Aalihee
wa As–haabihee wa Sallam
Salutations of Allah be upon His Beloved Muhammad – and his
Family and his Companions – and peace (be upon them)

‫(يَا َحّهيَاقَيّه بو هىم۝ ى ىى‬300 times)...........................................

Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyum.
O Ever–Living One! O Upholding One!

(100 times).‫َص َّلى ال هىل عَ ٰلى ََِيْبِيٖىى ُهمَ َّم ىد َّوىاٰليٖى َواَ بص َحابي ىٖ َو َسلَّ بمى‬

Sall–Allahu ‘Alaa Habeebihee Muhammadiw–wa Aalihee
wa As–haabihee wa Sallam
Salutations of Allah be upon His Beloved Muhammad – and his
Family and his Companions – and peace (be upon them)

On completion, one should blow upon the hands and
wipe the face and heart and then the rest of the body.
This is a Du‘a (Prayer) as well as a Dawaa (Medicine). If
one cannot perform this around Fajr Salah, then it must
be done during the day before ‘Isha Salah.

11

KHATAM–UL–KHAWAJAGAAN

In the Naqshbandi Order, the daily wazeefa and the
group dhikr, known as Khatam–ul–Khawajagaan, are
important principles which the mureed must not leave.

The 'Seal of the Masters of Wisdom' is the definitive
tool in the quest of the Seeker. It is a compilation of
verses and supplications from the Noble Qur'an,
Beautiful Names & Attributes of Allah Almighty and
salutations upon the Noble Messenger (peace and
blessings be upon him). The Khatam has been
specifically ordered and gifted by the Khawajagaan
Masters of Wisdom to raise the seeker from the lower
material world into the Divine Court whereat his
prayers are presented. When read with sincerity,
concentration and devotion, the Khatam is a means of
fulfilling the requirements of both this world and the
afterlife for the seeker.

The origins of the Sacred Khatam can be traced back to
the founder of the Khawajagaan Way, Khawaja ‘Abdul
Khaliq Ghujdawani (mercy be upon him) who
established it as a spiritual trust directly from the
Beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He
was the first Master from the Golden Chain to recite the
Khatam and subsequently any seeker who receives the
lights of the Khatam, does so through the spirituality of
Khawaja ‘Abdul Khaliq Ghujdawani (mercy be upon
him).

12

Since the beginning of the Khatam, over centuries of
spiritual effort the Naqshbandi Masters have fine-tuned
it to cater for the material and spiritual needs of
people. On completing the full Khatam–ul–
Khawajagaan and presenting it as a gift to the Noble
Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) at the
Rawda Shareef, Madina Munawwara, ‘The Knower of
Allah’ Hafiz Abdul Kareem (mercy be upon him) in a
state of meditation was blessed with a vision of the
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
From amongst the glad tidings the Holy Prophet (peace
and blessings be upon him) gave to the Shaykh, he
(peace and blessings be upon him) said “Hafiz Jee, the
Khatam you have recited and presented to me, carries
the virtue and blessings of 360 Khatam–ul–Qur’an”.

If recited twice, it is said to be proven as highly
effective in attaining the tranquillity of the heart and
closeness of Allah Almighty. Such an easy, wonderful
and great spiritual remedy, with certainty it is sufficient
in quenching the thirst of seekers of Truth, in acquiring
the pearl of one’s purpose and opening the paths
towards love of the Messenger (peace and blessings be
upon him).

In order to coordinate and unify the method of worship
of all seekers attached to this way, it is of utmost
importance to systematically learn and teach the
Khatam–ul–Khawajagaan.

The Khatam is read twice daily, preferably in group, at
Fajr and after Maghrib Salah.

13

PREPARATION FOR THE RECITATION OF
KHATAM–UL–KHAWAJAGAAN
Prior to the commencement of the gathering, all
attendees should be seated in an orderly and well
respected manner. Then the reciter should explain,
“The Khatam–ul–Khawajagaan of the Naqshbandi
Mujaddidi Aslami Arshadi Way shall be recited. The
method for congregational recitation is as follows:
When a blessed Kalima is recited, all those present
should try to recite together. When ‘Haqqa’ is said then
remain silent, listen to the next blessed Kalima and
then join in and recite together. If one is unable to
recite any blessed Kalima then do not recite it
incorrectly, but instead recite Kalima Tayyiba, the name
of Allah or Durood Shareef.”

SHAJRAH SHAREEF (GOLDEN CHAIN)

“On the day We shall call every group with its
Imam.” [Sura Bani Isra’il 17:71]

The blessed tree of Sufi Spiritual Lineage (Shajrah
Shareef) and the practice of reciting the names of the
Sufi Masters of the Naqshbandi Mujaddidi Order (mercy
be upon them) is to create a connection (nisbat) for
heavenly support, spiritual lights and blessings. It links
the mureed (disciple) of the Tareeqa (Sufi Path) to all
the Masters of the Way and ultimately to the Noble
Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

With humility and respect, the names of the great
Saints are recited and called upon. Thus a means of
contact (rabita) is established with the Masters of the
Golden Chain, so that their spiritual blessings can flow
to the reader.

It is important for the mureed to recite the Shajrah on
a daily basis, preferably after the recitation of the
morning and the evening Khatam–ul–Khawajagaan, so
that his link to the chain of Spiritual Masters is kept
strong and firm.

Mawlana Jalaluddeen Rumi (mercy be upon him)
stated, "When anyone talks or remembers the
pious servants of Allah, the mercy of Allah
descends upon them like gracious rain and
refreshes the mind."

31

PREPARATION FOR THE RECITATION OF SHAJRAH
SHAREEF AND LOUD DHIKR

1. Sit in the Tashahhud position and place the hands
on the thighs ready for the recitation to begin.

2. Close the eyes and lower the head towards the left,
concentrating upon the heart.

3. Close the mouth and place the tongue on the roof of
the mouth.

4. Perform silent dhikr through the nose, inhale ‘Allah’
and exhale ‘Hoo’ breathing normally.

5. During recitation of Shajrah Shareef and dhikr do
not open the eyes because the eyes are the doors
to one’s heart. Seeing the door open anyone can
enter. Thus one should close the door of vision and
then call upon one’s original and eternal Lord.

6. For those who have sworn allegiance (bay‘at), to
visualise one’s Shaykh. For those who have not, to
imagine that this very blessed gathering is taking
place in front of the Holy Shrine of the Blessed
Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

7. On completion of the Shajrah Shareef, wait for the
Shaykh to initiate the loud dhikr.

8. When the loud dhikr begins, stay in one voice.

32

9. Do not speed up or slow down, raise or change the
tempo of the dhikr of your own accord.

10. Everyone should perform dhikr with passion and
enthusiasm.

11. One person stands and recites the Shajrah Shareef
in a loud, beautified and zealous voice.

12. The Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon
him), Hazrat Sayyidina Abu Bakr Siddeeq (may
Almighty Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat
Khawaja Baha’uddeen Shah Naqshband, Hazrat
Imam–e–Rabbaani Mujaddid Alf–e–Saani, His
Eminence Khawaja Sufi Nawab’uddeen, His
Eminence Khawaja Sufi Muhammad Aslam (mercy
be upon them all) and Hazrat Khawaja Sufi Arshad
Mahmood (may Allah preserve him) – These names
should be recited with zeal so that a buzz is ignited
in the gathering and devotees naturally proclaim
‘Allah!’

to your favour.

THE DU‘AA (SUPPLICATION) OF HUZOOR
KHAWAJA–E–KHAWAJAGAAN SUFI ARSHAD
MAHMOOD (MAY ALLAH PRESERVE HIM)

O Allah! In Your presence we supplicate You. We are ill
with wrongdoing so cure us. Not only do we ask You
but emperors, saints and prophets also ask You. We are
wrongdoers, unrighteous, drowned in disgrace,
whatever we may be – O Master we are from the
community of your Most Beloved Prophet.

We return to You from all directions and ask You for the
Sake of Your Pure Essence, for the sake of Your Most
Beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for
the sake of Your pious and pure friends, we present
ourselves in Your presence.

Forgive our past misdeeds. In future remove from us
the desire and ability for wrongdoing. We are prone to
mistakes and forgetfulness. Remove the illness of
selfishness from our hearts and cause us to remember
You and Your Beloved Prophet. Give us a peaceful heart
and peaceful mind. Do not make us subject to stresses
and worries but help us to save ourselves.

Give non-praying persons the ability to pray to You,
give non-remembering persons the ability to remember
You and grant barren persons pious and righteous
children.

O Allah show us the beautiful city of Madina!

48

Upon which Your Mercy descends all the time!
May I pray at all times and at all places!
That I see the Pure Shrine of Your Beloved Prophet with
these very eyes!
O Allah! Keep us firm upon this friendship for the sake
of You, O Almighty, until our last breath when we shall
return to You.

Your Mercy! O Most Merciful of the Merciful!

‫(اَ بستَغب يف هر اّٰهلىلَ۝ ى‬3 times)...............................................
Astaghfirullah I seek forgiveness from Allah.

Then read in a loud voice:

‫(ََىل ۙايل ٰ َٖىايََّلال هلى ى‬3 times)..................................................
Laa Ilaaha ill–Allahu There is no god except Allah!

‫(ﷺ‬once)....................................... ‫ُهمَ َّمد َّر هس بوى هلال يلى‬

Muhammadur-Rasoolullah Sall-Allahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah! May Allah Bless him and
Give him Peace.

Kiss the thumbs and place them upon the eyes. Then
raise hands for a Sunnat Du‘aa and upon finishing it rub
the hands on the face:

‫اَلله هه َىم َص ّيلى عَ ٰلى َس ييّ يدن َا ُهمَ َّمدى َّو عَ ٰل اٰ يل َسييّ يدن َا ُهمَ َّمدى َّو عَ ٰل‬
