Sultan ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh ‘Abd Allah ad-Daghestani (Dec. 14, 1891-Sept. 30th, 1973), 39th GrandShaykh of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Silsila
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: “…GrandShaykh was asking [Hadrat Mahdi], I was there, ‘Oh Saheb uz-Zaman, which Madhab you are following?’ I am hearing, he (Hadrat Mahdi) said, “O Shaykh Abdullah, I am not in need to follow anyMahdab, we are like Prophets. What he was making way for his Ummah, we are going first, and whole Shia, Sunni, Salafi, Malafi, all of them must follow me.” [Saltanat.org, March 25th, 2011]
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim: “…no any Tasawwuf, I am not Sufi, I am Rabbani, that is highest honour, this is for Christians, Jews, whole Islamic world, to end all nifaq (treason), that order coming tonight, don’t say “I am Naqshbandi, I am Haqqani”…just say I am Rabbani, finish…. If anyone asks you what is your way, say, “I am trying to be Rabbani,” or “I am Rabbani.” Finished! La ila aha illa-Llah.That is bombardment on the fortress of Shaytan. Finished! Don’t say, “I am Christian,” “I am Jewish,” “I am Maronite,” “I am Orthodox,” “I am Catholic,” “I am Protestant,” “I am Shi`a,” “I am this, or that”. No! No more using the term “tasawwuf” as it was never used by the Sahabah (r)!…” [SufiLive.com, Oct 20th, 2010]
