Shadhili Tariqa, Shadhili Teachings

Last night, the ShadhiliTariqa.com website was finally launched, al-hamdu li-'Llah. This site is intended to be, insha'llah, the main focal point for the writings and audio lectures of Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller. Already, this site is full of content that I encourage everyone to download, read, listen to and reflect upon. Although some, but not all, of these articles were already available on the web at the Masud.co.uk site, check out the various sections (i.e. What is Sufism?, Shadhili Tariqa, Articles, Audio and Blog & Events) to find some gems that you might not have seen before.

In addition to this new site, there are a couple of other related sites that need to be mentioned. Several months ago, the now defunct TariqaTapes.com site morphed into TheTraditionalPath.com site...and the content and catalog can now be browsed by non-members. The purpose of this site is "...serving the murids of the Hashimi-Darqawi Order of the Tariqa of Imam Abul Hasan Al-Shadhili, Allah be well pleased with him. Recorded darses available on this site are lectures given by Sheikh Nuh Keller. This website is designed to fill the needs of Muslims who adhere to traditional Islamic knowledge and spiritual awakening."

Likewise, the VASuhba.com and Suhba.org websites have now migrated to ShadhiliTeachings.com, which is intended to be the main site in the future where murids of Sheikh Nuh can download the various audio lessons.

For those who don't know, Sheikh Nuh Ha Mim Keller American Muslim translator and specialist in Islamic Law and an authorized Sheikh in tasawwuf. Born in 1954 in the north-western United States , was educated in philosophy and Arabic at the University of Chicago and UCLA. He entered Islam in 1977 at al-Azhar in Cairo , and later studied the traditional Islamic Sciences of hadith, Shafi'i and Hanafi jurisprudence, legal methodology (usul al-fiqh), and tenets of faith ('aqidah) in Syria and Jordan , where he has lived since 1980. Some of his books and translations include Reliance of the Traveller, Becoming Muslim, Sufism and Islam, Port in a Storm: A Fiqh Solution to the Qibla of North America as well as a equisite publication of a new authentic edition of Imam al-Jazuli's Dala'il al-Khayrat. Sheikh Nuh was authorized as a Sheikh in the Shadhili Tariqa by the late AbdurRahman Shagouri-- May God be well pleased with him--in Damascus. He has students throughout the world and has annual retreats (suhbas) with his students in which he teaches the traditional science of tasawwuf in Canada, the U.S.A., the U.K., Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan. May Allah preserve him...

Deen On...
