The Benefit of the Tariqa in Life
Today, many people wake up every morning to go to work, then get caught up in their daily problems and concerns. They spend their time on matters that may not be essential, and sometimes they engage in activities with no clear purpose. By the time they return home at night, exhausted, they spend their evening on their phones or in front of the television, only to end the day in bed and repeat the same routine the next day. These individuals often remain unaware of why they came into this world or why they must endure such a challenging and exhausting life. All they know is that their life seems to lack purpose.

In Today’s World
Many people today suffer from depression, trapped in the monotony of their daily routines.
Among them are those experiencing “emotional divorce,” a state where individuals in a marriage feel lonely despite being physically present together. This life lacks love, where spouses are emotionally separated but remain together for reasons such as children, reputation, or financial constraints.
When asked about the best times of their lives, many people recall their childhood—the days when their hearts were pure and their spirits brimming with happiness.
It’s often observed that a newborn’s eyes shine, and their face radiates brightness, making them loved by everyone. Even animals may avoid harming them. The reason is that the child carries a light that mystics refer to as “The Light of God’s Love” or “Barakah.” This divine light makes the child universally cherished. In English, such a child is described as “charismatic.”
This light within the child acts as a natural antidepressant, spreading joy and hope to those around them. This is why when a mother loses this light and blessing after childbirth, she suffers from what is known as postpartum depression. lies in embracing the child more, nursing them, and keeping them close to the mother.
The Light of God’s Love, which makes a child beloved and charismatic, was beautifully described by the great mystic poet Hafiz Shirazi:
“If the Light of Divine Love enters your heart and soul,
By God, you will become more radiant than the sun in the sky.”
This divine light, referenced by Hafiz Shirazi, is known in Islamic mysticism as “Barakah.”
Hindus call it “Prana” and describe it as the energy of the universe.
Jews refer to it as “Brakha,” and English speakers often describe it as “Charisma.”
But Why Do Children Lose Their Natural Charisma and Attractiveness as They Grow Older?
The answer lies in the gradual accumulation of the veils of sin over their hearts. These veils block the light of love and divine blessing from entering their lives. Thus, a beloved and vibrant child transforms into an individual burdened with depression and lacking in charm.
Mystics affirm that for a person to regain the light and blessing of their childhood and become loved and charismatic again, they must remove the veils covering their heart.
These veils are caused by improper acts and sins, and therefore, one must purify themselves of their effects. This can be achieved through repentance for sins and wrongful actions.
Some people attempt to repent privately, asking God to accept their repentance, but they notice no significant changes in their charisma, emotional state, or the blessings in their life. Emotional divorce persists, and their condition remains the same. Why? Because their repentance has not been accepted.
The state of those who repent without a mediator is like someone who goes to the market repeatedly but fails to cash their checks. We repent many times in our lives but forget our repentance, and as a result, God does not accept it. Allah Almighty says in the Quran:
“When distress seizes you at sea, those you invoke besides Him leave you in the lurch. But when He delivers you safely to land, you turn away. Man is ever ungrateful.” (Surah Al-Isra: 67)
In the market, when someone’s check is not accepted, they need to present a trusted merchant as a mediator. Similarly, when repenting, if the mediator one turns to is a righteous and close servant of Allah, the person’s repentance is accepted through them.
When repentance is accepted, a person feels a transformation in their faith, ridding themselves of depression, monotony, and emotional divorce. Their life becomes filled with love, light, and the blessings of Allah.
But How Can One Find This Trusted Mediator?
In Islamic mysticism and spirituality, this mediator is known as the “Sheikh of the Tariqa” or “Spiritual Guide.” This Sheikh possesses unique qualities that enable him to help individuals transform their lives radically within just 40 days by dedicating about an hour and a half daily to reciting specific invocations (dhikrs).
Through this mediator, one can regain the divine light and blessings spoken of by mystics and live a life filled with happiness, tranquility, and faith.
How Does Repentance Work Through Mediation?
To complete repentance with the intercession and mediation of the Sheikh of the Tariqa, one must first join the Tariqa. This is a simple and quick process that can be undertaken easily. Full details on how to do this are provided in the section “How to Join the Tariqa“ on the website.
Is Using a Mediator to Draw Closer to God Valid?
Using a mediator (Sheikh of the Tariqa) to seek forgiveness, remove veils from the heart, and restore the light and blessings of Allah in life is entirely valid. This practice has been referenced in various Quranic verses.
For instance, in verses 97 and 98 of Surah Yusuf, when the brothers of Yusuf (peace be upon him) regretted their actions and sought repentance, they used their father, the Prophet Yaqub (peace be upon him), as a mediator for their repentance. The verses state:
“They said, ‘O our father, ask forgiveness for us for our sins; indeed, we have been sinners.’
He said, ‘I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.’”
If the brothers of Yusuf (peace be upon him) did not repent on their own but sought their father as a mediator, why shouldn’t we do the same?
In verse 64 of Surah An-Nisa, Allah Almighty says:
“And when they wronged themselves, they came to you, and asked Allah for forgiveness, and the Messenger asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.”
As you can see, Allah also refers in this verse to the acceptance of repentance being tied to the Messenger seeking forgiveness on their behalf.
