Adab Of The Sufis

Adab of the Sufis | the purifying ones.. truly who purifies the inner-self succeeds,and who corrupts it fails! - The QuranI have been sent to perfect good manners ...Righteousness is good character.- Prophet MuhammadAdab is courtesy, respect, appropriateness. Adab is not formality; it helps to create the context in which we develop our humanness.Every situation and relationship has its proper adab: between students on the path, in relationto family members and elders, in relation toone's shaikh. Every level of being also has its adab, including coming into the presence ofTruth (Al-Haqq).The model of adab in the Sufi tradition is the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing uponhim), who said: "None of you will have authentic faith until your hearts are made right,nor will your hearts be made right until your tongues be made right, nor will your tongues be made right until your actions be maderight."Awareness of some simplified aspects of adab:. To be Straight forward with sincerity and truthfulness.. To be aware of and have regret for our own faults, rather than finding fault with others.. To be free from the preoccupation, worry,vanity and ambition over the world and the worldly.. To be indifferent to the praise or blame of the general public.. To do what one does for God's sake-not forthe desire for reward or the fear of punishment.. To adopt an appropriate humility and invisibility in public and in the meetings of the dervishes.. To serve the good of one's brothers and sisters with all one's physical and other resources .. To seek to heal any wound you may have caused to another, and to correct any misunderstanding within three days if possible.. To know that no good will come out of the expression of anger or excessive hilarity.. To be patient with difficulties.. To be indifferent to favor or benefit foroneself, for "receiving one's due.". To be free of spiritual envy and ambition,including the desires to lead or teach.. To strive to increase one's knowledge ofSufism (the Gnosis, the Marifa, the Knowledgeof God and self). To be willing to struggle with one's ego asmuch as it prevents one from following proper adab, and to realize that the greatest ally isLove.. To seek instead to make one's practices moreand more inwardly sincere, rather than outwardly apparent."Technology of the Heart"thanks to brother.

How To Perform Ghusl?

Ghusal is an act of washing the whole body

from the head to the toe. "Ghusal" means

"Bath." We must use clean running water to

have a Ghusal so that all the dirt will be

removed from our body.

Method of Making Ghusal

Read the Niyyah:

1. Wash both your hands up to the wrist.

2. Wash the private parts properly to remove

all the dirt. Remove all pubic hair and the hair

from under the arms.

3. Make WUDU. Ensure that the mouth and the

nostrils are washed properly. Also brush your

teeth and gargle your mouth till the throat.

4. Wash the entire head properly.

5. Then wash the entire body, making sure that

every part is washed properly. Start with the

right-hand side of the body and then the left-

hand side.

6. When you have completed the Ghusal, dry

the whole body with a clean towel and get

dressed as quickly as possible.

The Fards (Faraa'id) of Ghusal

Now that you have a brief idea of how to make

Ghusal, you should learn the Fards (Faraa'id)

of Ghusal which are:

1. To wash the whole mouth. If you are not

fasting, then you must gargle your mouth until

the water reaches the throat.

2. To cleanse the nostrils.

3. To wash the whole body thoroughly from the

head to the toe.

The Sunnahs of Ghusal

There are certain actions in Ghusal which are

Sunnah. If you perform these actions you will

get great Thawaab. These actions are:

1. The person should make the Niyyah or

intention for Ghusal.

2. Washing the hands 3 times till the wrist.

3. Washing the private parts thoroughly.

4. All dirt from the body should be removed.

times and then over the left shoulder 3 times.

7. To pour water over the head and the whole

body 3 times.

8. Washing the feet when Ghusal is completed

and then leaving the place of Ghusal.

9. To make Ghusal in a private place. If you

are making Ghusal in the bathroom, make sure

that the door is closed and nobody can see

you.

10. Make sure that you do not read or speak

while making Ghusal. If somebody does call

you and you need to reply then make a noise

or sound like you are clearing your throat. The

person will know that you are making Ghusal

and will not disturb you.

11. To dry the body with a clean towel or

cloth.
