What is fana fi shaykh, and how can it be attained? Fana Fish-Shaykh:This is the first stage.This is perfected when the Murid becomes extinct in the Tasawwur(contemplation) of the Murshid,so much so that every movement or act of the Murid becomes a manifestation of the movements of the Murshid.The Murshid also controls all movements of the Murid.At this stage the Murid becomes extinct and merges into existence of the Master.This merger is not imaginary,but a REALITY.

Qestion:How does one achieve the station of Fana-fish-Shaykh?
Answer:One must feel that his Shaykh(Murshid) is present in front of him all time and his heart is under the heart of his Shaykh.While in this state,the Foyud and spiritual beams of Sayyiduna Rasulullah is beaning onto the heart of his Shaykh(the mureeds Pir) which is overflowing into his(mureed).I heart that lies below.If this concentration is correctly perfected and maintained for a period of time then the Murid will clearly visualize the image of his Shaykh on whatever object he looks at.This condition intensifies so much so that the image of the Shaykh will not part from him even whilst in salaah.The Murid will find this image wherever he goes.

With all the due respect for Shah Sahib I would like to add that before a Murid can attain the stage of Fana fi Shaykh he must first of all attain Fana fil Wujood, i.e Fana on Himself first - more clearly, losing oneself, forgetting oneself in Zikr-e-Ilaahi to such extent that one no longer feel oneself until the stage of Wajd (ecstasy) is reached. It is at this point that spiritual connection starts and one's being is merged into the spiritual realm. Gradually with regularly practices of Zikr e Ilaahi and other wazaif prescribed by one's Murshid, one progresses on the spiritual path. All throughout the spiritual exercises the Tassawwur of the Blessed Face of one's Shaikh is essential. As Respected Brother Syed Rehan has said, "This is perfected when the Murid becomes extinct in the Tasawwur (contemplation) of the Murshid".
These are the sayings of a Khalifah of His Emminece Mawlaanah Shah Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqui Al Qadri Al Madani Rahmatullahu Alai:
PIR KI TASARRUF SE JAB HUWAY SAAF DIL DO JAHAN KAY HAAL MUJH PAY AINAA HONAY LAGAA.
When my heart became clean by the spiritual power of my Pir, the state of both worlds (material & spiritual) started to become clear to me like a mirror.
PIR KI SOORAT RAKH ROUBAROU BAAD KEHTAY HAY ALLAHU ALLAHU
Keep the contemplation of your Pir's Blessed Face before you, then say Allahu Allahu.
Respected Brother Shah Saahib please correct me if I go wrong anywhere on the subject. Jazaak Allah.
Allahumma Swalle Alaa Sayyidina Wa Mawlaanaa Raahate Qulubenaa Wa Shafie Zunubenaa Wa Tabibe Zaahirina Wa Baatinina Muhammadin Wa Ala Aalehi Wa Ashabehi Wa Awliyaae Ummatehi Ajmain Ila Yawmiddeen.

Tassawwur-e-Shaikh
Always try and picture your sheikh,whenever you are alone.Do so with total love and sincerity.Imagine that you bare seated infront of your sheikh and that both of you are present in the court of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah.Imagine that the rays of Noor(light)is decending upon the heart of your Murshid and from his heart it is being transferred to your heart.If you continue in this manner,you will be freed of all your wordly concerns and you will become more spiritually elevated..inshaAllah

It is necessary to have these special wazaif. I have observed that many people after taking their bai'aat only gets their Shajrah Shareef and are told to practice the ibaadats therein everyday. Here I must point out that it's not the Shaikh's fault. I will not further comment this matter as it is very delicate. As Respected Brother Shah Saahib is moderator of this section I would prefer to have His Blessings and green light to further continue. After that I will Inshah Allah come forward with some valuable suggestions. Jazaak Allah.

Although in our tariqa after giving bayt , Mureed is bestowed with Shijra-e-Muqaddas , special Zikr-e-Ilahi and short day today wazaif for the spiritual upliftment by the murshid. Many Tariqa have distinguished durood shareef and mureed should recite that durood Shareef. In our tariqa mureed is given a special durood shareef written by the Buzurg of the Tariqa and it should be recite daily minimum 500 times.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
JAZZALLAHU ANNA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU
SAG-E-DARBAR-E-JILAN SHUD In response to a question concerning personal extinction [fana'], the Shaykh (may Allah be well pleased with him) explained:
"It is experienced when the Lord of Truth discloses Himself to the innermost being [sirr] of His saint [wali], with a most immediate manifestation [tajalli]. Under the impact of that demonstration, the whole universe is annihilated, and the saint [wali] becomes extinct. The extinction [fana'] he thereby undergoes is actually his survival in perpetuity [baqa'], but he will only survive under the direction of the Everlasting One [Baqi], for it is He who has rendered him extinct, and it is He who has granted him perpetual existence."
Sultan al-Awliya Shaykh Sayyid Ash Shah Abdul Qadir Hasani Hussaini Jilani Bagdadi

Brother start the gem's with the blessing of Paak-Panjetan , Ashra-e-Mubashara,Khwaja Owais Qarni,Ahle-Baith Al-Athar, Sarkar Gaus-Paak,Khwaja Garib Nawaz,Khwaja Bahauddin Shah Naqshband,Khwaja Sabir Kaliyari,Khwaja Banda Nawaz,Khwaja Shah Ali Abbas Hussaini , Syed Shah Muhammad Qadiri-Bagdadi,Syed Ash Shah Abdul Rahim Qadiri Bagdadi,Shah Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqui Al Qadri Al Madani and Insha-Allah i will help you and add some more gem's. JazakAllahu khayrun [glow=orange,2,300]Yaa Hasan-e-Paak[/glow] Jazaak Allah for your Blessed Ijaazat Respected Brother, Maashah Allah you have already started what I wanted to suggest, i.e sharing what one gets as special wazaif (apart from the sajrah) from one's Shaikh for spiritual upliftment. Many mureeds are not aware of this fact. As these wazaif differs according to Shaikh and silsilah, any respective knowledge of the prescribed wazaif from each one of us will, Alhamdulillah, be of great help to all those who are already mureed but don't know what to recite as special wazaif. Authorization of one's Shaikh - if still physically present - must be seeked first before reciting any of the wazaif. If one's Shaikh is no longer physically present then any of his Khalifah's authorization must be seeked. The permission is extremely important.
For the Qadria silsilah under the spiritual guide of His Emminence Mawlaanah Shah Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqui Al Qadri Al Madani Rahmatullahu Alai and any of his khalifah whom he has authorized to prescribe, the wazaif are as follows:
Daily after Eshah Namaaz, sitting on the musallah, with the tasbih and with "Tasawwur of one's Shaikh Blessed Face":
Astaghfirullah, 99 times and on the 100th Astaghfirullah rabbi min Kulli zambinw wa atubu ilai.
Laailaahah Illallah, 99 times and on the 100th Laailaahah Illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah . Allahummah Salle Alaa Sayyidinah Muhammadinw Wa Aalah Aale Sayyidinah Muhammadinw Wa Barik Wa Sallim. (100 times)
After that the Sajrah ( Sajrah Manzumah Khaandaane Chistiyah Sabiriyah Najibiyah) must be read followed by duahs.
(WITHOUT NAMAAZ WHATEVER IBAADAT DONE TO WHATEVER AMOUNT HAS NO VALUE)
Allahumma Swalle Alaa Sayyidina Wa Mawlaanaa Raahate Qulubenaa Wa Shafie Zunubenaa Wa Tabibe Zaahirina Wa Baatinina Muhammadin Wa Ala Aalehi Wa Ashabehi Wa Awliyaae Ummatehi Ajmain Ila Yawmiddeen.[/color]
