Muslim Murasu, September 2012
‘Guru-Sishya’ tradition is part of India’s ancient heritage. God, Prophet, Guru command respect. Holy Book approves this notion. Saints take oath from spiritual students through Baiyath, holding their hands. Baiyath is needed to become member of the spiritual family. It is a pledge not to involve in sinful and evil activities. Murid (spiritual student) should join his hands with that of Sheykh (teacher) and take this pledge. Nothing should be considered equal or partner to God. All needs should be addressed only to God. Creations, materials in this world have no capacity to help or harm on their own. Loss and gain are from Allah. Entire day should be spent in the remembrance of God. Zikr (remembrance) should be present in each breath. This is Baiyath. Guru, Sheykh, Ustad, Pirzada, Vappa, Allahvappa, Thaika Vappa, Sarkar, Ameersaab, these words refer to elders in spiritual tradition. We surrender physically and mentally to those experienced in God’s message and learn spirituality. Only an expert in Quran and Hadees can be fit for Sheykh honor. This title won’t suit incomplete pretends and mere advisers. Only those who seek and search will get right Peer Saab. Otherwise, Shaitan will lead.
Tamil translations of Quran and Hadees are available in market. It is not possible to become faithful servant of God by reading this. It is essential to find someone who has immersed his life in Quran and Hadees teachings and succeeded. His words will kindle the heart. Materialistic craving will subside. There will be more concern for pure earnings. Lies will vanish. Wasteful spending will stop. A life conscious of oncoming death will become a reality. A tranquil heart unyielding to panic will be the gift. Ruh, soul, will begin to shine. Excessive affection and attachment towards family will give way. The scene of lying alone in graveyard will guide Murid’s life. Going forward, only goodness for all creatures will radiate from him. Zikr Manjil or Raatib will be conducted on Thursday or Saturday evening to cultivate the heart. Sitting in group and involving in meditation and reciting God’s name loudly will change the hearts. Some minutes in the morning time can be spent in solitude with head hanging down and meditating about God hidden within us. Muraqabah. Murid should compulsorily follow all commands and precepts in Islam. Sheykh will give Murid to girls and ladies by holding a handkerchief. It is impossible to succeed in life without realizing the Supreme Being hidden in everything and operating everything. This is Baiyath concept. Prophet preached this for eleven years, stressed upon it, practiced it and taught it.
