The Reality of Taking Notes

Question: Why is taking notes of realities necessary?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the practice of taking notes of spiritual realities is essential for the seekers on the path of Sufism. The act of writing these haqqaiqs (realities) with your own hand and finger, rather than recording them, is emphasized. This is because when you write these spiritual truths, they become imprinted in your heart and soul. The act of writing allows the realities to be burned into your heart, becoming a part of your spiritual essence.

By writing these haqqaiqs, you become a custodian of the reality, and it becomes eternally inscribed in your spiritual book. This practice aligns with the Divine command in Surat Al-Alaq (96:3-5), emphasizing the significance of the pen and the act of teaching through writing.

The angels who write these haqqaiqs also undergo a transformation, as they become dressed by the weight and significance of these spiritual truths. This process elevates the soul, allowing it to walk on earth as a paradise soul, with sustenance and blessings flowing through the kingdom of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

Furthermore, taking notes of these realities is a means of showing respect and honor for the knowledge being imparted. It is a way of acknowledging the significance of the teachings and aligning oneself with the heavenly purpose for one’s life.

In essence, the act of writing these spiritual truths is a way to internalize and embody the divine wisdom, allowing it to guide and transform the seeker on their spiritual journey. May Allah bless you with the ability to internalize these profound teachings and benefit from them in your spiritual journey. Ameen.

It’s important to remember that these teachings are meant to elevate our spiritual understanding and guide us towards embodying the divine wisdom in our lives. May you continue to seek knowledge and grow in your spiritual journey, embodying the teachings of the Tariqa and serving others with compassion and love.
