Abdulmujib Attijjeniy Usman AWLIYA ALLAH (friends Of ALLAH). In the book “Lataif Al-Minan”, the noble Shaykh Sidi Ibn ‘Ata’Allah al-Iskandari said, “I make clear that the friend of God receive their sustenance from the “Mohammedian Reality” and they are none other than the manifestations of the lights of prophethood and the points of ascent of their radiances” (P:5) “The Mohammedian Reality is like the sun while the hearts of the saints are like moons; the moon shines due to its facing the sun and the appearance of the sun’s light upon it… The saints are God’s “signs” which He recites to His servants by disclosing them one after another. (As God Almighty declares) “These messages of God do We convey unto thee, setting for the truth” (Quran 45:6) .” Commenting on the words of God, Almighty and Majestic is He, “Any Message which We annul or consign to oblivation, we replace it with a better or similar one” (Quran 2:106). According to Sidi Abu Madyan al-Ghawt, this verse should rather be translated as: “We do not abrogate a verse (Aya) or make it forget except that We come with a better or similar to it”). I once heard our Shaykh Abu al-‘Abbas (may God be pleased with him) say, In other words: Never do We cause a saint to depart but We replace him with a better or similar one.”.
