Default Meeting with Shaykh Ahmad Arshad (DB)!!


A little information about Shaikh first, then the karguzari:

Shaykh Ahmad Arshad was born and raised in Pakistan and traveled to the United States for his undergraduate studies. He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from New York University. During his studies, Shaykh Ahmad first met Hazrat Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad in New York and for over a decade has been blessed to spend extended time with his Shaykh, including accompanying him on many of his travels.

As a result of this deep relationship, Shaykh Ahmad was formally authorized in the science of Islamic spirituality (Tasawwuf) by Shaykh Zulfiqar in 2005. Shaykh Ahmad remains in close contact with Shaykh Zulfiqar and, under his guidance, conducts lectures and programs to assist seekers on the path of purification in the New York City area as well as across the United States. Shaykh Ahmad's weekly gathering is held on the mornings of Mondays and Thursdays via teleconference at 5:00am EST, New York Time. He also conducts regular phone classes and specializes in working with high school and college youth. I've asked for Hazrat's permission to post the karguzari here.

Hazrat Shaikh (DB) arrived in Madinah today morning at around 3am. Masha'Allah Hazrat is one of the few people I really respect from the depth of my hearts. I have met Hazrat previously on his previous trips but the meeting today was something else.

My brother, my friend and I went to meet Shaikh after Jumuah at his hotel. We were walking towards his hotel when we spotted him in the courtyard of Masjid e Nabawi. Hazrat Masha'Allah is so tall that you can locate him in a crowd of million people. Specially since he's dressed up in white and white Imama . You feel so embarrassed to walk with him. He's so tall you look like a dwarf in front of him. Hazrat took us to his room despite being very tired. He cleaned the room and called us in.

We started talking on different things. Today Hazrat explained some things with which I was very impressed:

  • I mentioned Chamchas, Hazrat said while this is very normal with Mashaaikh. The thing is that you have to bear with these Chamchas and get through to the Shaikh to gain some benefit from him.
  • I mentioned these young Khalifahs who get Khilafats like Candies. Hazrat said, I don't understand this way. It's not right. Actually there are two things. Islahi talluk and Roohani talluk. Islahi talluk is where you go to the Majalis of a Shaikh or an Amil, listen to his bayans and do your Islah in simple matters. It can be done through anyone, Shaikh, friends, Alim.. Anyone. This is the lowest level of كونوا مع الصادقين
    Roohani talluk is where you go to a specific Shaikh and hand over your self to him. Now He will handle you and remove all your the dirt from your insides. But for it you have to stay with him for a lengthy period of time and its is a lengthy process. When you have been cleaned spiritually after many years of Suhbat, then the Shaikh decides whether you are capable of Khilafat or not! Candy khilafat is wrong!
  • Hazrat said that its not an exaggeration but If you don't meet our Hazrat, Shaikh Zulfiqar Ahmed (DB), then you have missed out on a very big thing. Hazrat Shaikh Zulfiqar sahib has the color of Akabir in him.


During our conversation, we started discussing Salafis then it turned to muslimmatters. I told Hazrat, there was an article about polygamy on muslim matters which i tried to answer on forums etc.

He said, "Is it Sunniforum?" I said, "yes, you know it?" He asked me, "What's your name there"

I said, "Taliban." He said, "You are TALIBAN!!!!, yes I read you. So you had the conversation about Ta'addud with Mufti Ebrahim Desai sahib"

He also said that Other Khulafah also read the Forum regularly

I requested Hazrat to please give us some of his precious time and post on the forum to guide us with his expertise.

Insha'Allah I hope he will consider it.

A very humble person. I was very happy to have spent half an hour with him.

The thing that impressed me the most is the zeal they have for Deen . I've seen it in very few people.

They arrived at 3am, didn't rest properly and his wife(who I have mentioned previously on the womens' Islah thread) was preparing to give Darse Quran live on Skype for 3 hours. I highly recommend Sisters looking for guidance to contact her.

Introduction of his wife:

Ustadha Humera Ahmad has been a devout student of sacred knowledge from traditional scholars and mashaikh for over a decade. In addition to completing the Aalimah course, she also holds Masters in Economics, Islamic Studies and Arabic.

Ustadha Humera Ahmad also travels extensively around the world including North America in an effort to induce a positive Islamic change in the lives of Muslim women. Alhamdulillah, her non-political and non-sectarian spiritual lectures and seminars have attracted thousands of students and have helped them grow in their deen and becoming closer to Allah [SWT]. She is the principal of Zainab Center in New York and conducts classes on Quranic Tajweed, Quranic Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh (Jurisprudence), Arabic grammar and conjugation as well as Islamic conduct and mannerism. These classes are offered to women, girls and kids and are conducted in English and Urdu via free conference call services. Introductions taken from:

No brother that is someone entirely different. Shaykh Ahmad Arshad (DB) resides in Brooklyn, NY while i believe Mufti Kamaluddin Saheb is pursuing graduate studies in the UK.

@Maulana Taliban Saheb how lucky you are to have spent time in the company of Hazrat....
also I didnt mean to be pushy in the other thread but indeed you should meet Hazrat Zulfiqar (DB) and if you do please dont forget to post the karguzari here. =)

Remembrance (tazkirah) of Elders(buzurgs, shuyukh, scholars) is very soothing. This reminds us of Mercy of Allah. Lovely karguzari (action report) ya sayyidi.
Wassalam

PS: The presence of Masha-ikh on SF, though they do not post here, was a very reassuring revelation Maulana. Again .

Hazrat won't come to Madinah Munawwarah. I told Shaikh Ahmed (DB) about the ahem.. He said why didn't you tell me? I'll take you to meet Hazrat.

Insha'Allah I'm planning to go to Makkah and meet him.

No I think you were confused because Mufti Kamaluddin's respected wife is active in da'wah and teaches at institute called Zaynab Academy for sisters http://www.zaynabacademy.org/ http://www.zaynabacademyonline.org/

I'll email you bhai, it's been a while I thought you left the forum?

Luks like Hz. Taliban reads some special wazifa or carry some Amal that he gets to meet all these big buzurgs ....!! ) )
Quite likely he's a akabir himself now )
Special Request : If possible, when you meet Shakys ask them to remeber this person in duas ... !!

My friend asked Shaikh, How did you meet Shaikh Zulfiqar Ahmed(DB)?

He said, That's a good question, How did I meet him? We were a group of students in NYU, me, Mufti Kamaluddin and others. My father was a bureaucrat. But we were not liberal nor very conservative, just normal. I used to hear things like this Shaikh is making bayans here and there, etc. Once my father called me and said A buzurg is coming near New York for Bayan, please go there. I went there. I was sitting at the place when mureeds started entering. I saw them all in white. White kurtas and white turbans. I just kept on looking. In the end Hazrat entered and I saw him and my eyes were fixed on him. It was love at first sight. I didn't know anything about peeri mureedi, tasawwuf, khanqahs nothing at all. There and then, I just decided I have to be like him!

And the rest is history. Shaikh is a khalifah now and doing alot of service of Deen masha'Allah....

Difficult to explain to those who are on the opposite end of the art of psycho-fancy (the Afghans).
Dear Taliban is using the word for servants of the People of Allah, Elders, Shuyookh.
Physically a chmcha is a big chammach=spoon. There pictures by Taliban and Colonel here on SF.
Mentally a chamcha is a person who tries to get his work done by sweet talking and buttering a figure in power.
