39 - FIRST VOLUME, 37th LETTER


This letter, written to Muhammad Chatri, informs us that it is necessary to obey the Sunnat, and praises tasawwuf.

We have been honored with the elegant letter you have bestowed upon us. You write about your belief and love towards our superiors. Upon reading this, I thanked Allahu ta'ala. May Allahu ta'ala, through the barakat and blessedness of the superiors of this way, bless you with endless exaltedness! Their way is more valuable than anything else. It is to obey the Sunnat-i saniyya "'ala sahibihassalatu wassalam". Owing to this way, for a long time they have been pouring information, marifats, hals, and ranks like April rain on this faqir (Imam-i Rabbani). With the grace of Allahu ta'ala, they did exactly all they could do. My whole desire now is to uncover one of the forgotten sunnats of our prophet. Let the hals, mawajid [losing consciousness], raptures, and dhawqs of tasawwuf be owned by those who desire them! The most important thing to be done is to make the batin [heart and soul] live with the love of our superiors and ornament the zahir [senses and actions] with obeying the sunnats.

Translation of a Persian line:
This matters, nothing else!

You should perform the prayer of namaz five times each day as soon as their times arrive. It is mustahab to delay only the night prayer until one-third of the night has passed in winter. In doing this, I cannot control myself. When the time of namaz arrives, I do not want to delay it as long as a hair's breadth. Of course, the times of incapacitation because of human weaknesses are exceptional.
