Interview

They asked who is the Qutb?

I said in Tariqah Tijani, Shaykh Ahmed Tijani is the only Qutb. There is no one else. Wherever the Shaykhs & Muqaddams are of the Tariqah when Initiating in the Tariqah, as you've noticed too they always say, "I give you the Tariqah, On Behalf Of The Shaykh." And that's how it is since millions of years. However the Permission may come from Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse alone. Shaykh Ibrahim also teaches the Student to understand Him better. But having said that Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse is also His Student. And now leads the Tariqah in all of it's Endeavours.

Prophet [SAW] teaches as well ?

Prophet [SAW] is everyones Prophet. Teacher of all the Tariqah's there are to it. The Tariqahs belong to His [SAW] children & there is no outsider. Born here & there in different families with different Surnames. And as far as my experience goes. All the Tariqahs are completely & entirely different from each other. Like totally & utterly different. From the teachings to the Experiences. One is this world & another one is that world. Not a tiny similarity whatsoever at all. And Prophet [SAW] is the Shaykh of all of them & He [SAW] teaches them. Because that's where all the Tariqahs originally originated from.

What makes us different The Tariqah Tijani is Shaykh Ahmed Tijani Himself. He's the Grandson of the Prophet. And His teachings are Tariqah Tijani specific & He teaches Himself there is no other Teacher in the Tariqah. He's the only Qutb & there is no other Qutb. But if He notices your tendencies towards working for something extra-ordinary only then He gives Permission to go & work & meanwhile the Tijani on a Mission can experience some of His powers as well. Prophet [SAW] also helps the Student to know the Shaykh better. And Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse devised a complete series of poetry & lectures & books just based on the Journey of the Student in Tariqah Tijani to know Him better, and that's one of it's kind ever by the Shaykh, resulting in the Union with Him. Technically, we can say that the Tariqah revolves around just Him & Him alone & no-one else.

Why do you pull other Tariqah's as well?

For me personally speaking. All the Tariqahs are under the Umbrella of Tariqah Tijani because we work for them. There is no other reason. But we follow specifically Tariqah Tijani's teachings only that enables us to help other Tariqah's & general public a like. To the extent that the Shaykh's within the Tariqah Tijani having a rectangular eye-scope don't even speak to each-other because there could be a difference of opinion let alone speaking with other Shaykhs of the other Tariqahs.
