Actually, Muslims are already taught Adab in following the Prophet from the categorization of Hukm taklifi andFiqh:

[1]Fardh ainbeforeFardh kifaaya ;

[2]Wajibbeforemandub( sunnat);

[3] Removing harm ( mafsadah , ormungkar ) has priority over bringing new benefit ( maslahat );

[4] That which is near or closest, before the far and the distant;

[5] Concern for our shortcomings rather than relishing or indulging in self-praise;

[6]Aakhirah( eternal Hereafter ) has precedence overDunya(temporal world). etc.

VERILY, in the Messenger of Allah you have a good example for everyone who looks forward [with hope and awe] to Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah unceasingly. ( Quran: Ahzab: 33: 6 ) All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011) 19.

Imitation (or copying, emulating someone) is the sincerest form of flattery (praise )! is an English proverb.

It reveals an obvious truth which we should consider, whether we have acted truthfully and sincerely, when we regard our Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. as the most beloved and best of Allahs creation( khayr-al-khal-qil-lah ).

He, whose name is the praised one , indeed is praised by Allah, Who is the Creator of every creation:

And thou (Muhammad) standest on an exalted standard of character. ( Quran: Qalam: 68: 4 ) All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011) 20.

Note : Therefore ultimately it is in the Prophet Muhammads nobleakhlaqthat we must strive to imitate and instil in ourselves.

Yet, mere outward conformity alone can lead to hypocrisy ( nifaq ) or ostentatious ( riya ) or even conceit ( ujub ). We seek refuge in Allah s.w.t. from being afflicted by these evil traits.

The inner cleansing ( tazkiyya al-nafs) andconstancy ( istiqomah ) in striving ( mujaahada ), with seeking AllahsTaufiqand Guidance, is crucial. Thus, apart from having correct belief ( Aqeedah ) , conforming with correct Amaliyyah (outward deeds) we also require inculcation of noble disposition ( akhlaq al-kareema).

These will be those Nearest to Allah ( al-Muqorrabun ):In Gardens of Bliss: A number of people from those of old, anda few from those of later times. ( Quran: al-Waqi-ah: 56: 10-14 )

There is a special type of TARIQAH ,only for those elites referred to as the Al-Muqorrabun , but these people are extremely rare today as mentioned:

23. ADVICE FROM MY PARENT, TEACHERS AND PREDECESSORS * All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)

Even at the time ofImam al-Habib Abdullah ibn Alwi al-Haddad(rhm.a), he realizes that every Muslim should be upon ageneral type ofTARIQAH , which is inclusive and for the general Muslims unlike the specialisedTURUQ (plural ofTariqah ) that requires Bai-at (personalised investiture), etc. before being allowed to practice itsAwradandDzikr .

24. ADVICE FROM MY PARENT, TEACHERS AND PREDECESSORS * All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)

Regarded as aMUJADDIDof theBa-Alawiof his time , Imam al-Habib Abdullah bin Alwi al-Haddadincorporated within the teachings and practices of Islam whichBANI ALAWYscholars spread (especiallyin the Nusantara) , all the three components ofAQEEDA-FIQH-TASAWWUF .

RegardingAQEEDAHin following theMadzhabofImam Abul Hassan al-Ash-ary ; andFIQHofMadzhab Imam Ash-Shafi-ie , incorporating some practices unique toAhlul-Bayt .

While inTASAWWUF ,actually it already provides aTARIQAH , but of the general type, which has been consistently but unconsciously and inconspicuously practiced for generations since then.

25. ADVICE FROM MY PARENT, TEACHERS AND PREDECESSORS * All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)

To differentiate thisTARIQAHfrom the specialisesTURUQ , he termed it as the way or the TARIQAH - AHLUL-YAMEEN .

A TARIQAHis a methodology involving spiritual practices ofDzikr, Wirid, Dua, Suluk ,etc.- practiced with supervision or guidance of an accomplished teacher who serves asMursheed(Guide).

For generations our Ulama in Nusantara have been fulfilling this role without need to use the term TARIQAH, even.

26. ADVICE FROM MY PARENT, TEACHERS AND PREDECESSORS * All Rights Reserved Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail (2011)

As many of these practices in this TARIQAH - AHLUL-YAMEEN , or TARIQAHBA-ALAWY ,are already supported with basis from authenticated sources from the Prophet s.a.w. , and from established practices of well-known Ulama for generations by generations of practitioners, it can be followed by all Muslims, even without the personalised Bai-at , unlike in otherTURUQ .

Thus we find in this region, that the Muslims here already practices almost similar if not identical spiritual exercises viz.Awrad, Dzikr, Dua, Ratib , etc. from how Islam was taught for several generations -without any fanfare avoiding ostentation.

Thus, with humility, we are taught to strive upon this so as to be included amongst those referred to as the Ashaabul-yameen .
