In an era where there are ever-increasing means for our Ummah to gain the knowledge of our Deen, it is important to note that knowledge without practise (عمل) is futile. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that, along with acquiring knowledge, we work on ourselves spiritually to allow us to bring this knowledge into practise. The arabic term for working on our spirituality, our heart, is Tasawwuf.

Having seen a dearth of working on our spirituality within the Ummah, despite the importance placed on it by our salaf, from our beloved Prophet ﷺ and the Sahabah (Radiyallahu Anhum) to the current time, through great luminaries like Imam Ghazali (Rahimahullah) and our Ulama of Deoband such as Hadhrat Sheikh Zakariyya (Rahimahullah), our respected Hadhrat Mawlana Fazlehaq Sahib (Hafizahullah), in line with the great emphasis placed on Tasawwuf by his Mashayikh Muhaddith ul-Asr Hadhrat Sheikh Mawlana Yunus Sahib (Rahimahullah) and Qutub-e-Bartaniyah Hadhrat Mawlana Ismaeel Wadee Sahib (Rahimahullah), has opened a Khanqah (House of Spirituality) in Blackburn in order to allow the Ummah to better understand the essence of Tasawwuf and gain benefit from it.
