Nur al-Imam (Light of the Master) is the website of the Nurwaniyyah Sufi Tariqah, a mystical order dedicated to sacred chivalry (futuwwah) in the service of Imam al-Mahdi, the twelfth lineal descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and his twelfth successor who will return with Jesus Christ at the end of this era, his peace be upon us, and finding the Hujjat (proof) of the Divine Love of Aql (Intellect) which emanates, manifests, and pervades all of existence. We give our Eternal Bayat (Allegiance) to Imam Ali, successor of the Prophet Muhammad, His peace be upon us, and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family. The Shahada (testament) by which we abide is that there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His Prophet, and Ali is His Saint. In Shi'ism, the knights of the Imam of the Age are known as the khulas (الخلص) or the ahl al-ikhlas (أهل الإخلاص), both meaning the people of devotion. In Sikhism they are known as the Khalsa. The Nurwaniyyah exists for those who wish to be members of the khulas/khalsa. Those Nurwaniyyah members who practice Shi'ism and Sufism, in its diverse forms, are sahajdhari sikh (Sikhs who accept the ten Gurus as their spiritual masters in addition to the Twelve Imams but do not practice the 5ks of Sikhism) members of the khalsa, hoping to be accepted by Imam al-Mahdi, and those who practice Sikhism are those who strive to follow the ideal of the khulas in the hope that Imam Mahdi wll accept them. We have seven principles which we derive from the shahada:

» Allah is the Manifest and the Hidden, and can neither be Created nor Destroyed. His Essence is beyond existence and non-existence.

» Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the Everlasting Messenger and Guide of every living and dead entity.

» All reality knows Allah only through Ali, His peace be upon us, who is the Face of God and exists within the soul of all creations. He is the manifestation of the eternal Divine Command that created Being itself.

» Salman al-Farsi is the Hujjat of Allah.

» Fatima Zahra, daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, Her peace be upon us, is the cause of the Beginning Herself but has no beginning, and is the cause of the End Herself but has no end. She manifests what lies beyond Divinity.

» Imam al-Qa'im ibn al-Askari al-Mahdi, his peace be upon us, is the Hidden Universal Intellect and will Manifest Himself unto humanity in the upcoming times. In the time of His Occultation, where He is hidden from the world, there are many paths (tariqahs) by which to reach Him, such as Twelver Shi'ism, Alevism, Ismailism, Sikhism, Sufism, and mystical Christianity.

» Enlightenment is achieved when the soul surrenders itself to Imam al-Mahdi, His peace be upon us, and dissolves itself into His Eternity.
