Tariqah Tijani
The Prophet [SAW] said: I saw all of my followers at the time of pilgrimage. I saw my followers filling up all plain mountains I was asked: Are you satisfied? I said; only 70,000 Muslims will go to paradise without account even though the numbers are many. He was asked: O Messenger of God! who are they? He said: They are those who do not work looking at good & bad signs. Who don't rely on spell and charms and rely only on their Lord. The companion Okasha stood up and said: O Messenger of God, pray so that I may be one of the Muslims. Prophet [SAW] said: O God, make him one of them. Another companion stood up and said: pray so that I may be one of them. The Prophet said Okasha kept you behind and went forward.
He [SAW] suggested: If you can rely on God with due reliance. He will Provide you with sustenance in such a manner as He provides Birds and Beasts. They leave nests early in the morning and return in the evening filling up their bellies.
The Prophet further said: He who returns to God after cutting of all connections, God is sufficient for him in his every action and He provides him from such a source which is beyond his conception. And he who is addicted to the world, God hands him over to the world.
The Prophet said: He who takes refuge to enchantment of charms can never rely on God.
It has been narrated that when the Prophet Abraham was thrown in to the fire, Gabriel asked him. Have you got any necessity? He said: I have got no necessity from you. God's word is sufficient: God is sufficient for me and how good is as an object of refuge. When arrangements were being made to throw him into fire. God then sent down the revelation:
Abraham is he who has fulfilled his promise. [Q-53:37]
Tariqah Tijani revolves around 4 principles.
- Allah
- Prophet [SAW]
- SAT or Shaykh Ahmed Tijani
- Ibrahima or Abraham
We consider every Prophet to be Prophet Muhammad [SAW] himself because he was their helper and supporter for all times. We even believe that it was the Prophet Muhammad [SAW] that was killed or may be not at the crucifix instead of Jesus. Hence the World War that followed right after.
