Shadow Corridors

"e;Humanity is living through its worst days since the tragedy of the Day of Karbala,"e; the Sheikh said. "e;Not a day passes without evil achieving new victories in all corners of the world. Our chances of emerging victorious in this war are almost slim, if not nonexistent... Therefore, we must find a salve to heal this wound without wasting any time. The shameful thing about this is that the majority of humanity suffers the greatest woes in terms of achieving justice, while turning a deaf ear to the voice of truth on the other hand. But our sacred mission is to defend the right to life, no matter the obstacles and difficulties that will confront us."e; Then the Sheikh said, "e;I want to tell you something, which is that the Tariqa is the light that illuminates the path for humanity when it loses its way in the storm. The Tariqa is composed of people who defend the truth. Defending the truth is one of the virtues of Muslims who surrender themselves to God Almighty, that is, those who are in a state of security and tranquility... God, the All-Knowing, knows who a Muslim is. Being a Muslim is a mark of honor. The lessons of the past have revealed to me that I may not yet have the courage and faith to embark on the path leading to the level of annihilation in God. However, I have understood from those lessons that the door to the path leading to annihilation in God is a clear door for those who seek it. Reaching this level is a milestone, and this experience is the ultimate result of the action.
