“Thareeka” is an Arabic word, meaning “a Path”. This spiritual path leads one to attain eternal peace, tranquility and union with God. The word “Thareekathul Mufliheen” is also an Arabic word meaning, “The path of the fearless victorious”. The vision of Thareeka is to expound the true meaning of “Kalimathuth Thayibah” (Fragrant sacred word) “LA ILAHA ILLALLAH”, the basic principle in Islam, meaning “There is nothing (Creation) but Allah (God)”. This word Allah (God) denotes a great power, unbound by time and space, infinite and beyond human imagination. The creation is only the manifestation of this eternal truth, not separate from it. This truth has been clearly established beyond doubts by the spiritual leader based on Holy Quran and Hadith (Prophetic traditions) in his numerous publications and 181 spiritual songs, written and composed by him.
