LEVELS OF MIGRATION ON THE SUFI PATH TO GOD
Sufi Doctrine Series
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani (QS)
The teachings presented here outline a course toward spiritual
realization that has rarely been made available before. This
book focuses on details of the Naqshbandi Sufi path, with
emphasis on the responsibility of the disciple to make progress
and advances in his spiritual discipline based on pure love and
longing for the Divine Presence. Starting with initiation at the
hands of the master, the book outlines the steps needed for the
devoted seeker to attain actual gnosis, reaching the level where
he or she is able to connect and communicate with masters, both
living and passed on, who are able to provide direct spiritual
support in assisting the seeker in reaching ever higher levels.
The book is essentially a manual in reaching the State of
Perfection, Maqam al-Ihsan, which the Prophet Muhammad described
as "to worship God as if you see Him and if you do not see Him,
to know He sees you." This station is the first goal of the
seeker in setting forth on the way of spiritual ascension. While
this station is not the seeker's ultimate destination, realizing
it is considered the first step into the circle of true seekers,
those whose vision is supported by God and who receive
inspiration from the Divine Presence.
