BismAllah al Rahman al Raheem, the Avenger, the
Mighty, the Supreme. Peace upon the messenger, the
master, the servant, who said: “Oh Fatimah, daughter
of Muhammad, I will not avail you anything from God”.

I thank Allah as He should be thanked. Let my
salaams reach our son Ahmed Thiam and Malik Sow and to all
of those who attribute themselves to me. Let it be known, two people are not from me nor
from this tariqa. A divinely attracted mureed who is
not a seeker and a seeker who is not divinely attracted as
long as they stay as they are and stopped on the
way. As you have known me, let those of you who want to
be with me seek my way by words and actions by
obeying the Divine commands and abstaining from what has
been prohibited outwardly and inwardly. Be thirsty and
long for reaching what satisfies Allah and His
messenger. As for those who attribute themselves to
me and commit anything contrary to the honorable
sharia by engaging in haram and neglecting Divine
commands, then Allah is my witness and you are my witnesses
that I am free from such people (i.e. they are not my
followers). Oh Allah, I am innocent from what those
have done. "And let those who oppose the
Messenger's (Muhammad SAW) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal
ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc.)
beware, lest some affliction befall them or a
painful torment.” "Oh believers, repent to Allah!"
As for what you have said that my mureed is a pot
filled with secrets from the three Divine levels
then YES, BUT where is my mureed amongst you? He is
harder to find than the red gold. I am about to take away
the permission of any muqaddam who does not intervene
when haram is done in his presence. If he is powerless to
act let him immigrate to Allah, his messenger and
to us. By Allah! Nothing has made you like this but
the long time that you stayed away from us. Those who
come to our presence many times will forget the taste of
vain desires. There are young men here who have
forgotten the taste of vain desires, some of them
have forgotten even their wives and would not have
intercourse unless ordered to do so. These are my
students; others are not. There is no escape from
turning back towards Allah with repentance,
obedience, modesty, fear and knowledge. The Almighty said: "And say, ‘My Lord! Increase me in knowledge’."
What is suitable for the mureed is not to stop on
the way. Unless if he is with me and I cannot help him
any further then he should leave to a sheikh who is
higher than me. And know may Allah have mercy on you,
that many claimants have veiled people from the way of
Allah because they are not straight. Whoever
attributes himself to Allah, then veils people
from His path, then it is like he has declared war on
Allah and has transformed himself to the side of losers
because he is the reason for turning people away
from Allah. You must come to me many times so you can
receive from me the manners of seeking on the path
just like you have received the truths of Divine
Attraction. Those who do so will gain greatly. You
must change what is unacceptable which happens
within the brothers; change it by hand, or by the tongue
or by heart as told in the hadeeth. And you must
memorize my advice if you want to gain benefit; it is a duty
on every mureed to memorize this letter. Everyone who
comes across it should copy it, keep it and read
it daily. Perform the prayers, pay the zakat, fast
Ramadhan and make the pilgrimage if you are able.
Pay sadaqah from your money for the sake of Allah.
In the hadeeth of Muslim, the messenger, peace and
blessings upon him said: “Purification is half of
faith; Alhamdulillah fills the scale; Subhan Allah
wal hamdulillah fills what is between earth and the
heavens; prayers and patience are light; the Quran
is either for you or against you. All people come and
there are those who free themselves and those who
enslave themselves.” Allah Almighty says: "Verily, Allâh enjoins Al-Adl (i.e. justice and worshipping none but Allâh Alone) and
Al-Ihsân (i.e. to be patient in performing your
duties to Allâh, totally for Allâh's sake and in
accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW in a perfect
manner), and giving (help) to kith and kin (i.e. all
that Allâh has ordered you to give them e.g.,wealth, visiting, looking after them, or any other kind of
help): and forbids Al-Fahshâ' (i.e all evil deeds,
e.g. illegal sexual acts,disobedience of parents, polytheism, to tell lies, to give false witness, murder, etc.), and Al-Munkar
(i.e all that is prohibited by Islâmic law: polytheism
of every kind, disbelief and every kind of evil
deeds, etc.), and Al-Baghy (i.e. all kinds of
oppression). He admonishes you, that you may take heed."
So woe unto those who do not accept the rule of
Allah and His messenger with complete submission. But
whoever receives our letter and repents and does
what he has missed then he will be happy in this life
and the hereafter. Allah forgives what has passed. For
the one who does not change, then I ask Allah to be my
witness and for you to be my witnesses that I am
free from that person. And I do not declare myself free
from anyone until Allah and His messenger have
done so. You must recite salatul fatih many times; you
must conceal the secrets by words and deeds. Leave behind
talking of haqa'eq (Divine Truths) and secrets;
rather, seek the straight path. Following desires
of the self is like worshipping Taghut (idol) after
you have claimed to be believers. "Whoever disbelieves
in Tâghűt and believes in Allâh has grasped the most
trustworthy handhold that will never break. And
Allâh is All-Hearer, All-Knower." And you Ahmed Thiam should inform all my followers of this letter of mine. Send a copy of it to each
leader amongst you and let him read it to those around him.
I ask Allah that you accept it with pure hearts and
listening ears. May Allah guide us and you,
wassalam.

> Letter 2

Bism Allah al Rahman al Raheem wa sala Allahu ala
seidna Muhammad wa aalihi wa sahbihi wa salam.
Alhamdulillah, who made those who follow his
awliya successful and pious and made those who love and
respect them and follow their orders winners.
Peace upon the master of creation, the one who said,
“Islam is based on five foundations: bearing the two
witnesses, praying, fasting, paying the zakat, and
performing the hajj for those who are able”. May
Allah be pleased with his khaleefa the one who said: “If
youever hear anything attributed to me then place it on
the scales of the Sharia. That which conforms
take, and that which does not, leave”.
From the writer to all the beloved ones living in
Jameen the place of our father Ahmed Kirk and Abu
Bakir Batti, his brother Muhammad and our loving
brother Fajek Thiam and Muhammad
Matah and Muhamad Majkeen and others, to each one
there specifically by his name and person,
AsSalamu Aleikum wa rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh. Based on the
madaad of mawlana al Tijani followed by our dua
that Allah improves our states and yours and grants us
the sweetness of faith and truthfullness in servanthood and helps us to serve the Divine Right as it should
be served. And we ask Allah to write our names and
yours in the register where he records his beloved and
chosen ones. Our sincere loving brother Abubakr Jaj has
arrived. My advice to you and to myself is that same advice
Allah has given the nations before you, which is to fear
Allah in secret and in public. Taqwah (fearing Allah) is to obey Allah's orders and to abstain from
everything that he prohibits. And the most
important out of these orders is to perform the five obligatory prayers in a congregation in their assigned times
and with proper wudu (ablution). I am astonished at
those who claim to be followers of our sheikh al Tijani
while not taking care of the obligatory prayers or
doing them without proper wudu, making tayammum
instead, claiming that they are excused to do so.
A valid excuse never lasts, nor does it apply to a
whole tribe. Repent to your Creator! "Truly to Allâh we
belong and truly, to Him we shall return." "So turn
in repentance to your Creator and kill your (guilty)
selves; that will be better for you with your
Lord." You must recite the wazeefa with the brothers.
Anyone of you who leaves it just one time after he receives
this letter of mine then I am free from him and he
is not from us nor are we from him. No one is a
follower of our tariqa unless he acts upon what we and our
companions act upon. There is no way out from consistently renewing repentance (tawbah) to
Allah, while being constantly aware that Allah sees you at all times and with every breath, based upon the saying of the prophet salla Allah alaihi wa salam: “Ask
(judge) yourselves before you will be asked
(judged)”. Be truthful when dealing with your Lord. Do this
by never finding yourselves where He has prohibited you
to be nor being absent from where He has asked you
to be. Keep away from all that is unlawful (haram).
Haram leads to the hell fire. Never be absent minded (ghafla; not being conscious of Allah) as it is the cause of every sin, unlawful desire and misconduct. Abide by the guidelines of sulook (wayfaring), and you the people of Jameen must be like the people of Koosand like the people of Teeb Jikeen and the people of
Teeb Jebseen. You must be like them in carrying
out what is obligatory and avoiding what is unlawful. Do this by being patient and loving to each other and
visiting each other. Be together all for the sake of Allah. Help each other to do good, remember your Lord and save your families from the hell fire. The prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Protect your families from fire by saying, ‘O my family do your prayers, O may family remember to fast, O my family remember to be clean, O my family remember the poor’”."And enjoin As-Salât (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salât (prayers)]. We ask not of you a provision; We
provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqűn (pious, God-conscious)." And know that it is a must that you thank your Lord for making you from the first ones of the people of the faydha. However, do not sit back and resort to comfort as there are people who came after you and whowill pass you by if you resort to laziness and comfort. We seek Allah's protection from being lazy as it is the utmost loss. Improvement every second is the aim, therefore you must build up your zawiyas by doing the five daily prayers and reciting the wazeefa and
filling your times with salatul fatih. Those who do this will gain greatly. Wassalam.
