Join the Tariqa - Take Bay'ah (Spiritual Allegiance)
Bay'ah is a sacred and essential practice in Sufism, serving as a means of spiritual purification and a step toward attaining nearness to the Divine Presence. It is a pledge of allegiance and commitment to the spiritual path, allowing the seeker to connect their heart with the heart of the Prophet ﷺ through an unbroken chain of transmission.
The practice of bay'ah dates back to the time of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and is mentioned in numerous verses of the Qur’an, emphasizing its significance in Islamic tradition. Every Sufi Order upholds bay'ah as a key element of the path, as it establishes the seeker’s connection to the Shaykh, who guides them in their spiritual journey.
To enter the Naqshbandiyya Aliyya Tariqa, one must take bay'ah with the Shaykh of the Tariqah, Shaykh Muhammad Adil, either directly or through one of his appointed representatives. This sacred pledge signifies sincerity in seeking Allah’s pleasure and following the way of the Prophet ﷺ. If you live in the USA or Canada and wish to take bay'ah and embark on this blessed path, please fill out the form, and Shaykh Ali Elsayed (Shaykh Muhammad Adil's Representative in USA & Canada) will get in touch you, inshaAllah.
