Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.
I received some comments about Sayyid Abd al-ʿAzīz al-Dabbāgh, after talking about the book “Pure Gold from the Words of Sayyidī ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dabbāgh Al-Dhahab al-Ibrīz min Kalām Sayyidī ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Dabbāgh.”
These people imagine he was someone small with Allah, they think “there are many saintly people, who knows who is high and who is low, he is from Fez he didn’t achieve a wide following or something immense so he must be of little consequence”.
Some time ago Imam al-Dabbāgh visited me and taught me about his way, I achieved my place with Allah through Jihad and defeating fitnah, He achieved His place with Allah through Ihsan (perfecting his self) by doing all the small things needed in Islam to ensure his state was sound, He achieved such perfection through this Allah granted him real spiritual sight and opened the world of ghayb to him along with everything in it, this is similar to the path of saydinah Mariam (as) took who achieved Her (as) place with Allah by getting all the small things right that are needed to ensure the soundness of your spirituality.
Imam al-Dabbāgh’s place in the Akhirah is in the seventh Jannah, about a third of the way beneath Rasul Allah (saws) in its degrees.
I have Ijazah to teach about this since I have taken from him directly, some time ago, out of frustration with dunya, I asked Allah what kind of Ihsan would I have achieved if I wasn’t born in the middle of the most sever fitnah this world will face and asked to deal with it and its people every day, Imam al-Dabbāgh and the kind of Ihsan Sayyidah Mariam achieved was my answer from Allah.
Recite “Ya Sin – Kaf Ha Ya Ain Saad” from the muqataat letters of the Quran often in prayer and you will receive from the latif of that Ihsan.
