But, at the time nobody knew that the latter or, in other words, tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism) would soon become, like the shartah with its different schools of figh, institutionalised with its own basic doctrines, well defined philosophy, elaborate principles of a disciplined life, terms and phraseology, books and different orders. It would, however, be wrong to presume that the ‘ulamd supposed to be the only custodian of the shartah and the siifi-shaikhs considered to be the only watchguard of fariqah had perennially strained relations with each other as if they represented the two entirely different aspects of religious life. The great sijfi-shaikhs were themselves recognised ‘alim and there were a number of ‘ulama of deep erudition who enjoyed a distinguished place in the world of tasawwuf. Yes, the sifi-shaikhs did not like the worldly ‘ulama@ and condemned such stifis who did not care to follow the rules of the shari‘ah. Fawd’ id al-Fu’ad, a collection of Shaikh Nizam- uddin Awliya’s discourses (malfizat), besides offering many insights into the true sifiway of life and explaining, through symbolical utterances and anecdotes suited to the occasion, some of the basic principles of Islamic mysticism, refers to a number of situations that elucidate the point in discussion Marfat.com viii Fawé’id al-Fu'ad Shaikh Nizamuddin Awliya, in many ways, represents the glory of the Islamic mysticism in India. Shaikh Fariduddin; his guide and spiritual mentor, appointed him as his khalifah and asked him to settle at Delhi where he lived for about sixty years as the undisputed spiritual leader of the community. His malfizat as compiled by Hasan Sijzi was the first of the kind of siifiliterature in India that set the standard and provided an important vehicle to spread mystical thought and sufi practices in the sub-continent. In preparing this translation of Fawd'id al-Fu'ad | have enjoyed the help of many friends and colleagues in the Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi. I have to express my gratitude especially to Professor M. Naziruddin Menai, Professor S. Naqi Husain Jafri, Professor Anisur Rahman, Professor I.H. Azad Faruqi and Mr. Shahabuddin Ansari, Librarian, Dr. Zakir Husain Library, Jamia Millia Islamia, for their continual help and valuable suggestions. 1 would also like to acknowledge the devoted care of Mr. Muhammad Anas in preparing a neatly typed script of the translation. My thanks are also due to the publishers, D.K. Printworld (P) Ltd., New Delhi, for expeditious printing of the book.
