Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s, One Year After His Passing

What sorrow can express our feelings one year later, reflecting on the passing of our master, Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani an-Naqshbandi ar-Rabbani?

He was, and he is, the light of our eyes, our beloved father, our source of light and guidance, our beacon in the darkest night. When all hope is lost, Mawlana Shaykh’s shining face and beaming smile bring us back and give us life and restore us to balance.

Allah said, “verily the Friends of Allah, they do not fear nor do they grieve.” It is us, those leftbehind after they pass, who grieve. But we remain steadfast on what Mawlana Shaykh brought and taught all these long years: to keep with out Lord Allah Almighty and His Beloved Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad and to keep our heart connection alive.

Oh Mawlana Shaykh! Our hearts weep for your presence!

Oh Sultan of our life! Tears are not sufficient to express our sadness!

Oh Master of the Time! We long for the day when we will see you

again!

Oh Saint of Saints! You have gone forward to clear for us the

Straight Path, keep holding us by the hand!

Oh Light of Prophet Muhammad! How we long for your shining

face!

Keep us O our master, in your prayers from beyond this earthly life. Watch over us in our daily life and intercede for us before the Tremendous King. Beg forgiveness for these your weak and sinful students.
