   The Darqawi Way
Letters of Mawlay ad-Darqawi - Translated by Aisha Bewley.

These are the letters of the Shaykh, the Imam, the Ghawth who benefits the elite and the common, the famous wali and great siddiq, the one who has arrived, who has drowned in the sea of oneness, utterly crushed in the immensity of the sublime essence. He is the Sharif, Sayyidi Muhammad al-Arabi al-Hasani ad-Darqawi, may Allah give us the benefit of his barakah. Mawlay ad-Darqawi sent the letters to those who had the benefit of his company and entered under his banner. 

He is loved by those from whom the veils have been lifted and from whom others are distant. With them, the night becomes the awakening of day. The cosmos is crushed and annihilated in their eyes since they see the One, the Conquerer. What a contemplation it is! How sweet it is! What a station it has!
These are letters which tell about the stations of their sender and make his gnoses known in what they say. They join words and effects, warnings and signs for consideration. In them are the commands and words of the shariat of Muhammad, sallal lahu alyhi wa sallam, and the sunnah and actions of the tariqa, and the secrets and states of the reality. All this is in the most concise phrase and exact expression and clearest indication. He wrote them according to events. The answer is according to the question. Each letter is enough for the one who has it with the greatest possible richness. It takes him to the end of hope and desire.
All that there is in the letters is the shariat of the messenger, the path of the wayfarers, indications of the realised gnostics who have arrived, and the ecstasies of the beloved lovers.
Many people were trained by his hand and a large number of Allah�s slaves profited by him.
