Seeking forgiveness is the basis of purification and the first step in gaining the closeness of our
Lord. We must remember that it is part of human nature to err, as we are not Masoom anil Khataa
(free from sin). However, without seeking forgiveness for our sins we will never be able to achieve
our goal, which Sayyidi Pir Saqib Shaami (Hafidhahullah) reminds us as being the Marifa of Allah
Almighty and becoming absorbed in the divine love of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
Tazkiyyah (Self-Purification)
What is Tazkiyyah?
Attaining purity of the heart is through consistent repentance and maintaining the hearts purity is
through Tazkiyyah. The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: There is a piece of
flesh in the body. If it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good, but if it gets spoilt
the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart. [Bukhari]
Tazkiyyah is the process with which we reform our heart. The first step to maintaining a sound and
pure heart is to be in the company of the pious and those already with pure hearts. Allah the
Supreme teaches us this in the Quran: "And keep yourselves familiar to those who call upon their
Lord in the morning and evening, seeking his pleasure. [Surah Kahf: verse 28]
Sayyidi Pir Saqib Shaami (Hafidhahullah) teaches us that Your heart imitates the company that it
keeps. Thus, we should aim to be in the company of those who are working on or have completed
their Tazkiyyah.
Imam Ghazali (Alayhi Rahmah) states that the heart has seven gates from where Satan enters to
corrupt and disease it, namely:
(1) Tongue; (2) Eyes; (3) Ears; (4) Hands; (5) Private Parts; (6) Stomach; and, (7) Feet.
It is through these organs of the body that one can sin. For example, if one listens to haram music,
eventually one begins to sing that music and may even dance to it, which could in turn lead him to
a haram place where that kind of music is played. As you can see, once Satan enters a gate he
begins to infiltrate and spread like cancer.
To avoid this we close each gate to the heart for a period of 40 days each.
Method of starting the Tazkiyyah Course
Step 1: Recite Surah Qadr 46x after Fajr salah.
Step 2: Do PRAN for the sins of all the seven gates to the heart.
Step 3: Work on one of the gates (Pir Sahib recommends to start with the tongue).
Step 4: Do PRAN for all the sins of the tongue.
Step 5: Take note of the first day and continue for 40 days.
Step 6: After every Fard salah do the dhikr ''la illaha illallah'' 5x.
Start with placing the chin by the left shoulder, move the head to just above the heart,
raise the head up and then down to the heart. So the head movement should be like a
triangle shape. When you move your head up above the heart imagine throwing all the
filth of the heart out as you say ha and then when moving the head down to the heart
imagine a Noor from Allah entering into the heart saying illallaah.
Step 7: Before sleep perform two Nafl of gratitude to Allah Almighty for giving you the ability to not
commit haram from the gate you are working on.
Step 8: After Nafl ask yourself ''Do I still want to sin? If the answer is yes then shed tears and beg
Allah Almighty by saying: Oh Allah I cannot purify my tongue (or whichever gate you are working
on) without your help. Oh Allah purify me.
Step 9: Recite Durood Shareef upon RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) 313 times. In a
standing position, facing the Qibla imagine you are standing in front of the blessed gates (Jaali
Mubarak) of RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), and through the blessings of reciting the
Durood, He (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is observing and cleansing the filth of your heart.
Sins of each gate that break the Tazkiyyah Course
Tongue: Backbiting, slander, lying, tail bearing, swearing.
Eyes: Looking at haram, looking down upon a person, looking at someone in anger.
Ears: Listening to haram music, backbiting, lying etc.
Hands: Touching the opposite sex (non-mehrum), hitting someone, picking up haram.
Feet: Walking towards haram places i.e. clubs, pubs, disco etc.
Stomach: Eating haram food.
Private Parts: Fornication and masturbation etc.
What to do if the 40 day chain breaks?
1) Immediate TAUBA (PRAN).
2) Read two Nafl of Repentance.
3) Give Sadka (Charity) in the way of Almighty Allah (enough to make you think twice before
committing another sin).
4) Recite Durood 1200 times standing up (see Step 9).

and then face the Qibla and say Takbir (Allahu Akbar), and then recite what you know of the Quran,
and then bow, and remain in this state till you feel at rest in bowing, and then raise your head and
stand straight; and then prostrate till you feel at rest in prostration, and then sit up till you feel at
rest while sitting; and then prostrate again till you feel at rest in prostration; and then get up and
stand straight, and do all this in all your prayers." [Bukhari]
Kanz ul Huda wishes to leave you with a gift on how to establish concentration in Salah.
1) To learn the translation of Salah Our prayer is a direct communication with Allah Almighty. We
speak to Allah Almighty in each prayer, but many of us do not even know what we are saying.
For this reason, it is imperative that we at the very least learn its translation.
2) To imagine that angels are surrounding us from our feet all the way to the heavens.
3) To imagine the name of Allah Almighty in front of us although we cannot see Allah Almighty
we can at least imagine His name. Also, imagine that though we may not see Him, He is
definitely watching us.
4) To imagine that we are standing on Pul Siraat (that bridge which is thinner than a hair and
sharper than a sword). To our right is Jannah, and to our left is Jahannum. On top of our head is
the Angel of Death and in front of us the doors to the closeness of Almighty Allah are opening.
5) To imagine that we are praying each Salah as our last. Life is not guaranteed. Imagine the
intensity of our concentration if we truly believed that we would not get the chance to pray to
Almighty Allah again.
6) Finally, have a firm belief that this is the same Salah that RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam) prayed. Therefore, we are being blessed to perform the same actions as him
(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), who is the dearest to Allah Almighty.
Bayah (Pledging Allegiance to a Spiritual Guide)
Almighty Allah mentions the importance of Bayah in the Quran:
Indeed Allah was truly pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you beneath the
tree - so He knew what was in their hearts - He therefore sent down peace upon them, and
rewarded them with an imminent victory. [Surah Fath, verse 18]
The purpose of connecting yourself to a spiritual path is that ones Imaan remains protected. This is
only preserved if the Shaykh fulfils the four pre-requisites of becoming a spiritual guide set by
Imam Ahmed Rida Khan (Alayhi Rahmah).
The essence of Bayah is that one remains in the company of the pious and Imam Ghazali (Alayhi
Rahmah) states in his Ihya Uloom al-Din: Keep company with those who have firm faith, hear
12
from them the learning of sure faith, follow them always, so that your faith may become firm as
their faith became firm.
This is an essential practice to be implemented in order to achieve the Marifa of Almighty Allah
and the true Mahabbah of RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
