TASAWWUR ISLAM

"Taqwa has been transmitted in its entirety, wholly and in
detail, by our forefathers and salaf salih through their
transmitted pattern of behaviour, which is the satisfying
method and the even path, the most secure hand-hold. It is
a clear guiding light, as brilliant as the sun in the midday
sky. It is the path of the Messenger and his rightly guided
successors, which every seeker was commanded to grasp
firmly and securely. It is transmitted through a sound chain
extending up to their grandfather the Messenger, blessings
and peace be upon him.”
Habib Taher Bin Hussein Bin Taher
