When Khawaja Bahaud-Din Naqshbandi saw and heard the Taliban’s position in Sofia’s method that somebody had abandoned sleeping for so many years, somebody had adopted awaking at night and fasting in the day, and somebody has fixed to read and finish to times Holy Quran. Somebody has stopped to spread the legs, if somebody due to sickness and the elderly aged person not performs the teaching of the Saint’s people and time has passed in negligence, then from the first-day spirit has developed in the heart of Hazrat Khawaja Bahauddin Naqshbandi (Rehmatullah Allaih) said before the Allah Almighty in prostrate. The organs of the Ummah become weak, and now strength and courage in them have no endurance. The era for good and blessings is removed from them. Kindly award me such a method from your blessing, which is easy and can reach you soon. He remains weeping prostrate for fifteen days. Only came out from the Hujra for the performance of prayers and essential needs. After 15 days of blessing and kindness became excited and has inspirited that Oh Muhammad Bahauddin! We had awarded you such a method which has been awarded to the companions of our Habib S.A.W., which means comprehension/ discernment and obedience of Sunnat-e-Nabvi S.A.W. He thanked Almighty Allah and lifted his head from prostrate and traditionally confirmed this modernity. With the blessing of Allah Almighty, this method has made such progress that billions of people are in this auspicious chain and, due to acceptance, spread throughout the world like the light of the sun. The Khulfa-e-Taliban Silsala Naqshbandia are in the majority in every country. When people asked him what the benefit of your modern Silsala /chain is, then Khawaja Naqshbandi said that all methods are promising and are Noor Ala Noor. All are reached to Almighty Allah, but such methods have been awarded to me by the Allah Almighty. It is very easy, and human reaches Allah Almighty very soon.
