خواجہ سلیمان تونسوی کے صوفی اقوال

سالک کو چاہیے کہ دنیا سے دور رہے کیوں کہ دنیا کی مثال کوڑا کرکٹ کی سی ہے اور دنیا کا طالب مانند گدھے کے ہے۔

سالک کو چاہیے کہ ہمیشہ نفس اور شیطان سے ڈرتا رہے اور کبھی ان سے مطمئن نہ ہو۔

مرشدِ کامل کا دامن پکڑ کر ہمیشہ اس کی صحبت میں رہو تاکہ ’’وصول الی اللہ‘‘ کا مرتبہ نصیب ہو۔

دنیا داروں کی صحبت سے دور رہے کیوں کہ یہ لوگ جب دنیا میں مستغرق ہو جاتے ہیں تو خدا کا خوف ان کے دلوں سے نکل جاتا ہے، حتیٰ کہ ان کے دلوں میں چینٹی کے کاٹنے کے خوف کے برابر بھی خوف نہیں رہتا۔

سالک کو چاہیے کہ عشق کے کام میں دلیر اور جواں مرد بن کر اس کی راہ مشقتوں کو دل و جاں سے برداشت کرے۔

سالک کو چاہیے کہ ہر ایک کا ادب و احترام کرے، بالخصوص اپنے پیر بھائیوں کا بہت خیال رکھے۔

سالک کو چاہیے کہ حق تعالیٰ کی عبادت سے کبھی خالی نہ رہے کیوں کہ جو کوئی اس زمانہ میں اس قدر عبادت کرے گا، جلدی اپنے مقصود کو پہنچ جائے گا۔



کوئی شخص بھی ظاہر و باطن میں اتباعِ شریعت کے بغیر کبھی مقبولِ بارگاہِ خداوندی نہیں ہوسکتا۔

تین چیزوں سے اپنے آپ کو دور رکھو، اول قاضی بن کر حکم دینے سے، دوم کسی کا ضامن سے، سوم کسی کی امانت اپنے پاس رکھنے سے، کیوں کہ یہ وصیت ہمارے پیرانِ کرم اپنے مریدوں کو کرتے آئے ہیں۔

One day he advised his disciple Ahmad Khan to be friendly with all his disciples as the Holy Prophet said about his progeny: “Respect my children; those who are pious for God’s sake, and those who are elders, for my sake.” Thus keep a favourable view of my all disciples.

Once a man insisted Hazrat Suleman to initiate him in Qadiriyya order. He thought Chisti order inferior to Qadiriyya order. The Shaikh said: “You want to enter Qadiriyya order because Shaikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jitani is the founder of that order?

Once Ghulam Rasul (/angari) came to the Shaikh and said: “I have been occupied in the management of refectory (langar
