PREFACE The Holy Prophet (salla' llaahu'alaihi wa sallam) and many of his near and dear followers prayed, ”O Allah! Give me a heart full of compassion and weeping eyes”. The aim of this publication is to reach sincere seekers of knowledge and love, especially children in the formulate age, who are exposed to syllabi full of laws but lacking in love. The love for the message is expounded but unfortunately the love for the Messenger is neglected. I received numerous complaints from many concerned parents, from various towns and areas in South Africa where a propaganda campaign is being waged, even at Madrasah level, against the time honored customs, rites, traditions and ceremonies of Islam and Sufism in the name of Shariah and genuine Islam. External scholars dismiss many a Hadith that is cited by Shuyook of Spiritual Orders as being as being weak and not authentic. But the high regards which is due to these Saints demands that we should not consider it unauthentic; for according to Imam Abu Hanifa (Rahmatullah-alai) and Imam Maalik (Rahmatullah-alai) 1, even a Hadith-e-Mursal, if its narrators are reliable, is regarded as true. I pray that this humble publication serves as a guide for students, parents and teachers and dispels the confusion
