Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad! This post has two parts:
1. Knowledge Section;
2. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.
Part 1: Knowledge Section
Let us relect on the following:
"Shari'at and Tariqat: The Holy Qur'an says: "To each one of you We appointed a shari'at (Shir'ah) and a tariqat (minhaj)." Among the religions of the world every revealed religion has a shari'at and a tariqat so that in addition to its exoteric aspect, people may also practise its esoteric aspect or tariqat. Shir'ah or shari'at means beginning, for it has been said: shar'a 'l-amra (He started the work). Tariqat is the path, haqiqat is the light of guidance and ma'rifat is the desired destination of the 'arif (a person who can see the higher realities)."
