Sultan ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh ‘Abd Allah ad-Daghestani
“There’s no other way to defeat Shaytan. Shaytan isn’t afraid of bombs, weapons. What scares him is the sohbah – the words, the assembly, the light of Shah Mardan and his followers. They give light, Shaytan gives fire to people. Shah Mardan and his followers, lovers of Shah Mardan give light. Let’s take light, don’t take fire. Fire burns you in this world, in the grave, on the Last Day, in hell. Know this. Say, I am the servant of Allah. I want to get closer to my Lord, by serving in the way of Shah Mardan. I want to be a clean servant, to learn. My aim is to destroy Shaytan’s reign. You set this world on fire. Flame came from the fire of ignorance. We will extinguish that flame. Instead of the fire of ignorance, we’ll make this world into a bed of roses.”-Qutb ul-Ghawth al-Sayyid Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani, an-Naqshbandi, March 30th, 2013
