In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

"Praise be to God Who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found Guidance, had it not been for the Guidance of God." (7:43 Quran)

The Practicing Member program is organized in four ways:

1. Self-Paced Learning - Make your own decisions about when, where, what, and how quickly to learn.

• Contemplation - Focused studies on Mawlana Faizani teachings, designed to support profound reflections, create an awakened perception on the topic of Knowing Oneself - Knowing God.
  
  This study is of the utmost importance. For the only alternative to individual and world annihilation depends upon truly understanding and practicing the philosophy of Knowing Oneself, Knowing God. Upon understanding the truth of this spiritual science, you will be able to manage, resist, and restrain the dangers posed by the two inner and invisible powers called the "ego" and the "devil." At the same time, you will learn methods of strengthening within you the root causes for goodness (i.e. the Soul and the Angel). It is through this methodology, with God's Grace and Assistance, that one becomes a dynamic, astute, value-driven, cooperative, synergetic, and benevolent member of society. In fact, History teaches that it's the answers to big questions such as in "Knowing Oneself, Knowing God" that redraws our world and elevates us within it.
  
  
• Spiritual discipline - A program of zikir (direct remembrance of God Almighty through His Names). Individual programs are tailored for both newcomers and experienced zakireen. Zikir is the basis for man's spiritual freedom and clarity of perception - a simple and powerful life-changing system.
  
  Zikir (Dhikr) literally means "pronouncement", "invocation" or "remembrance" of Almighty God. Through this spiritual discipline we will provide you with a powerful and comprehensive Zikir program that includes the repetition of Divine names, supplications, sincere repentance, illuminated with aphorisms from the Holy Qur'an, and sayings of the Prophets.
  
  Zikir has been described by Almighty God as the "greatest and most excellent" act a servant can perform and its importance has been stressed over 40 times in the Holy Quran. Also, the ranks of the Prophets (Prophet Muhammad) and Saints (peace and blessing be upon them all) and their nearness to Almighty God is/was achieved through the remembrance (Zikir) of Almighty God. If we follow the same attitude that they used, ("hands to work and hearts to God") then we will be getting the same benefits (i.e. nearness to Exalted God).
  
  In the words of Almighty God: "O you who believe! Remember God with much remembrance." (Surah Ahzab, 41)
  
  Some of your Benefits:
  
  - Nourish and strengthen your Soul
  - Purify your heart from inward and outward defects and faults
  - Filter from your heart the affections for things "other than God"
  - Earn God's pleasure in this life as well in the hereafter
  - Find salvation from major sins (i.e. vain talk and backbiting)
  - Receive protection from all calamities and disasters
  - Replace your restlessness and excessive temptations with peace of mind, health and tranquility
  - Records for the Day of Judgement: all creatures will bear witness to the Zikir heard from you
  - Find sincerity in your actions and words
  - Almighty God remembers those who remember Him
  - It makes the heart vigilant and enhances the concentration of one's mind
  - Your heart will be filled with the secret of love and the light of insight into Almighty God
  - Immediate rewards - (i.e. remembering Him Almighty and He remembers you - instantaneously)
  - Through extensive remembrance definite forgiveness has been promised
  - etc. etc. etc.
  
  It is incumbent on us to point out that a Zikir program has a greater long term effect when administered by Mashaikh (scholars).
  
  Note that God established limits and jurisprudence for all religious duties (prayer (Salat), Fasting, Alms giving, Pilgrimage etc ) except for contemplation and zikir. It is incumbent on the practitioner to engage themselves in such activity whenever possible. Indeed, God does not accept the excuses of those who neglect Zikir, unless due to mental illness. Whoever performs very little Zikir of Almighty God or not at all, is considered to be sinful.

2. e-Learning - you are a person of your time, e-Learning helps bring the community together internationally. Mawlana Faizani International utilizes three key distance learning tools:

• PalTalk Conferences - Discuss your valuable insights and learn from a worldwide community of individuals who, like yourself, are committed to achieving the very highest levels of belief, knowledge, and spirituality.
  
  
• Email and IM Communication allows you the opportunity to engage on a one-to-one basis with your designated spiritual mentor (audio and video feeds are available).
  
  
• Newsletter e-Mails - Get the latest Soul Boosters, articles, and other offerings from the University of Insight into God.

3. Regional Groups - Formed between three or more Practicing Members who live in the same area.

4. Visitors Program - You will be invited to spend time with Ustad Mazhabi when he is in your area.

Cost: First 6 months free! After 6 months, those who can afford it, are charged a one-time membership fee of $200.00. Mawlana Faizani International uses this fee toward translating, publishing, and distributing Mawlana Faizani's 52 volumes of invaluable books.
