They Are On Haqq ul Yaqin (Truth of Certainty)
"""Our master Habib Taher Bin Hussein Bin Taher has said: "Taqwa has
been transmitted in its entirey, 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.
As a general indication one can say that it is sciences and practices, purification
of the mind from lowly qualities and adorning it with praiseworthy ones, spending
one's time in different kinds of obediences and good actions which remain, soundness
of intention, keeping the company of the best of people, fighting the worst of
people, remaining unknown, avoidance and isolation from the mob, acquiring the
noblest of attributes, upright selves, exalted determination, protective scrupulousness,
accomplished renunciation, gentleness, sobriety, leaving everyday habitual concerns
and concentratiing on the Appointed Day""".
