Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
JAZZALLAHU ANNA SAYYEDINA MUHAMMADAN MA HUWA AHLAHU
MANAM SAGHE DARBARE JILANI
Khwaja-e-Khwajegaan Khwaja Bahauddin Shah Naqshband Radi Allahu anhu gave the following advice about the friends of Allah:
"When you go to visit a friend of Allah, you should examine yourself and analyse your state; if you see that your Deen has improved through this company, then make it incumbent upon yourself to make this company regular."
The great Khwaja Radi Allahu anhu further stated, "True self-analysis is when a saalik continually assesses his own actions; he should regret his shortcomings, thank Allah for his progress and always work tirelessly to improve."
He also said, "There is no friend of Allah on this Earth who is not under the special gaze of Allah subhana wa ta'ala. When you sit in the company of the friend of Allah, the fayz (overflow of spiritual blessings) that you receive is in fact a reflection of that special gaze."
Another point he made was that "The friends of Allah are endowed with the knowledge of many secrets concerning the wonders of creation, but those with this knowledge do not disclose it, whereas those who have no idea talk a lot and pretend they know everything."

Naqshbandia ajab qafila sa laaranand,
ke barandaaz rahe panhaan baharam qaafila raa",
which translates as:
"The Naqshbandia lead an extraordinary caravan,
for they take their students to the Haram via a secret, hidden route."
