Conditions for Righteousness of behavior

1. Perform the five prescribed prayers in time, in congregation whenever possible, observing all their conditions, pillars, submissiveness, and full restfulness - for a duration equal to moderate repetition of glorification of Allah for three times - in bowing and in prostration. Moreover, read the Basmalah (Bismillah El-Rahman El-Raheem: By the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful) with El-Fatiha (chapter of the Opening) in secret, in prayers of secret recitation, and loud, in prayers of loud recitation, hence getting oneself out of the disagreement between the scholars in this matter. In addition, know and abide, consistently, by shari’a matters in general.

In congregational prayers, one should ensure that the imam performs the prayers properly, and is one of the righteous people of Sunnah, as the jurists dislike praying behind an innovator and a perverse.

2. Feel no security from Allah's plan: The believer should be afraid of his Lord, and should not feel secure; his heart cannot rest from fear of punishment of Allah. Allah the Exalted says, "Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish” Surah 7, verse 99. And, He the Exalted says "And those who are fearful of their Lord's doom. Lo! The doom of their Lord is that which none can feel secure", chapter 70, verses 27-28. Faith has two wings: fear and hope. Thus, pure absolute hope, without fear, is security. And pure security from Allah's plan is a straight kufr (disbelief). On the other hand, pure absolute fear is despair; and despair, without hope is a straight Kufr. Allah the Exalted says, "And despair not from the spirit (mercy) of Allah. Lo! None despairs of spirit of Allah save disbelieving folk", chapter 12, verse 87.

3. Dutifulness to parents: Allah the Exalted says, “Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save him, and that ye show kindness to parents…” chapter 17, verse 23. Sidi Ahmed Tidjani said that this tariqa would not be easy to keep by anyone who is not dutiful & kind to his parents.

4. Give nobody Permission to the tariqa or a Wird without proper Authorization. It has been narrated of some Sheikhs, as saying that: pretending sheikhdom, untruthfully, is a sign of wretchedness; May Allah saves us all

5. Respect all those who are associated with the Sheikh (R.A.A.), especially those who are of high standing.

6. Avoid company of criticizers of the Sheikh (R.A.A.).

7. Do not desert people and sever the relationship with them without a legitimate reason, especially the brothers in the tariqa. The Sheikh (R.A.A) said, “Beware, and again beware that none of you neglect the rights of his brothers of what might create good heartedness or dispel suffering, or aid against distress".

8. Gather for performance of Wazifa, and Hailalah in Friday evenings, if there are brothers free from exempting factors.

If one does not comply with one of these conditions, he must immediately revert, and repent to Allah, so that his walk and endeavor towards the divine may continue.

Persistence on noncompliance with one of these conditions may lead to an act that will dissociate and cut one off the tariqa.
