Product Overview

Description :

The Bani 'Alawi Path : Principles, Method & Practice: From the 4th Islamic Century, the Husayni ancestral line, the Bani 'Alawi have preserved the spiritual legacy of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him & grant him peace, till this day. Their intimate knowledge of the Prophet's words and deeds passed down successively through the golden chain; the chain of knowledge transmitted internally through the family, from father to son without external mediation.

Over the years, this exclusive method of transmission brought forth generations of spiritual masters, scholars, Imams, mujtahids and saints of every degree, who inherited the Prophetic light and secret of Imam Ali and Sayyida Fatima, may Allah be pleased with them both. This heritage safeguards the religion from annihilation and it is the means of protection for the Muslim community after the passing away of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him & grant him peace.


Habib 'Abdallah bin Alawi al-Attas, may Allah have mercy upon his soul, provides a succinct guide to the way of the Bani Alawi masters in his book, which he originally titled: 'Al-Imam al-Nibras fi'l-Tanbih 'ala Manhaj il Sada al-Akyas,' - translated as The Bani Alawi Path; Principles, Method and Practice, - so that it is comprehensible to the English speaking audience. It is a book that illustrates the ethics and conduct of the true form of the Bani Alawi way, which we hope will be a means of preservation.
