Central teachings of Shaykh Sufi Abdullah Khan, who founded Ghamkol Sharif UK in the 1990’s, that he passed on from his Shaykh, Zindapir Sahib, may Allah bless them.

• To stay firm on the “aqeedah al tawheed” (belief in the oneness and supreme being of Allah Almighty).
• To always have at the forefront of your mind the “rahza” (pleasure) of Allah and His Beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, before embarking upon any task.
• To use your “il’m (knowledge) & aq’l” (intellect/sense) for the “rahza” (pleasure) of Allah Almighty as this results in attaining the “shaf’qat” (love, affection) of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him.
• Do not undertake any task for your personal “iz’at” (honour) or that which leads to “be-iz’zatee” (dishonour/disgrace)

Perhaps the present imam and mosque committee should reflect on these points in the wake of recent events…
