1. What is Naqshbandia ?
There are many veils between us and our heavenly positions.
A Naqshbandi-Master rends these veils in a descending fashion:
Starting with the closest to the Divine Presence and then successively
downwards towards the level of the Murid.
This process continues throughout the training of the Murid, until
there is but one veil restraining the murid's vision from the
contemplation of the Divine Reality.
In order to protect the Murid,
however, the Grandsheikh does not rend that veil , lest the murid's
ego allow him to indulge in something else then his Lord.
That lowest veil is the Veil of Humanity ( Hijab ul-Bashariyya )
and it is rent finally with the last Breath before death, at which
time the Murid understands the wisdom in keeping him veiled, as his
vision reaches, unobstructed and unflinching, to the highest Heaven.
