“Celui qui s’attache aux vrais intermédiaires se sauve, et celui qui s’oppose à eux se noie, puisque les Soufis ont dit que celui qui n’a pas de maître, a Satan pour maître…”

“La maladie qui afflige ton cœur est une des choses qui frappent les hommes aimés de Dieu, car "parmi les hommes les plus durement éprouvés sont les prophètes, puis les saints, puis ceux qui leur ressemblent de près et de loin". Ne t’attriste donc pas, car cela arrive de préférence aux hommes de sincérité et d’amour, pour les faire progresser vers leur Seigneur. Par cette souffrance, leurs cœurs se purifient et se transforment en pure essence. S’il n’y avait pas ces rencontres avec la réalité, personne n’atteindrait la connaissance de Dieu, loin de là, car "s’il n’y avait pas les arènes des âmes, les coureurs ne pourraient pas s’élancer", comme il est dit dans le Hikam de Ibn ‘Atâï-Llâh. On y trouve également : "Dans la variété des traces et le changement des états j’ai reconnu Ton intention à mon égard, celle de Te montrer à moi en toutes choses pour que je ne T’ignore en aucune chose." En ce sens, les initiés ont dit :"C’est lors des renversements qu’on distingue les hommes des hommes".”

Abu Ali ad-Daqqaq —rahimahullah— mengatakan: “Seseorang tidak akan mampu suluk di tarekat kaum sufi tanpa seorang guru. Sebab perjalanan ini menempuh kegaiban atau gaibnya kegaiban. Ibarat sebatang pohon apabila tumbuh dengan sendirinya tanpa ada orang yang menanamnya maka tidak ada seorang pun yang bakal memanfaatkan buahnya sekalipun tumbuh bersemi dan daunnya rindang, bahkan bisa jadi tidak akan berbuah untuk selamanya. Coba anda perhatikan wahai saudaraku, Tuan dari para rasul, Muhammad Saw., bagaimana dengan jibril yang menjadi perantara antara beliau dengan Tuhannya dalam menyampaikan wahyu. Dengan demikian anda tahu, bahwa menjadikan seorang guru adalah suatu keharusan bagi murid yang tidak bisa ditinggalkan.”

as-Salamu Alaykum. Did Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani and Shaykh Mawlay Arabi ad-Darqawi who both lived in Fez at the same time for about 20 years ever meet or have any kind of contact with each other, it seems strange that despite these circumstances that they both lived there lives as if the other never existed. In reading Aisha Bewley's translation of Shaykh ad-Darqawi's letters there are several that warn people not to associate with "People of Claims" is this a reference to Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani?

Wa ᶜalaykum as-salām,

There is no known evidence regarding any meeting or contact between Shaykhunā at-Tijānī and Sīdī al-ᶜArabī ad-Darqāwī, may Allāh be pleased with them both.

However, Shaykhunā at-Tijānī, may Allāh be pleased with him, had met the latter's shaykh, Sīdī ᶜAlī al-Jamāl during his first trip to Fez, and had learned the the science of Letters [ᶜilmuᵓl-ḥurūf] from him. He left him afterwards.

Shaykhunā at-Tijānī, may Allāh be pleased with him, operated from the city of Fez while Sīdī al-ᶜArabī ad-Darqāwī was outside the city. When Sulṭān Mawlay Sulaymān had arrested Sīdī ad-Darqāwī for his anti-state activity, Shaykhunā at-Tijānī, may Allāh be pleased with him, had asked the Sulṭān to release him.

The taṣawwuf of the two was quite different as well. Shaykhunā at-Tijānī, may Allāh be pleased with him, did not agree with the Darqāwī emphasis on outward poverty and asceticism (e.g. carrying begging bowls, hanging rosaries around the neck). The Tijāniyya do not perfom hardcore dhikr exercises [ḥaḍarāt] like the Darqāwiyya, either.

Sīdī ad-Darqāwī's emphasis was on the Supreme Name "Allāh". Shaykhunā at-Tijānī (RA) instructed his students to focus on the Manifestation of the Name Sayyidinā Rasūluᵓllāh ﷺ, via Ṣalātuᵓl-Fātiḥī. 

Needless to say, Sīdī ad-Darqāwī remained a subject of the Quṭbaniyya of Shaykhunā at-Tijānī, may Allāh be pleased with him.

Waᵓs-salām,
