Biographical info[edit]
Personal biographical info on Arif seems hard to find. Have emailed Ipso Facto films to see if they have anything or can pass on the message. EricT (talk) 16:10, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Omar Ali-Shah's successor[edit]
We can't use this as a "reliable source", however here is the fatwah by Omar Ali-Shah naming Arif Ali-Shah as his successor, and Arif's acceptance of that role:
FATWAH[edit]
In the event of my death it is my solemn wish and Command that all friends of the Tradition shall recognize my son Syed Hashim Arif Ali-Shah as my successor and that he may appoint Advisors or Councillors as he may desire.
I Command that you should give to Syed Arif, carrying as he does the Baraka of the Silsilah, the respect you gave to me and that the structure and activities of the Tradition as laid down by me should continue as before.
May Almighty God bless you all. Syed Omar Ali-Shah Naqshbandi
REPLY[edit]
A fax, dated 17 of September 2005 and signed Arif Ali-Shah states:
FACSIMILE
Dear Friends
This is to confirm that, in accordance with the last wishes of my father, Sayed Omar Ali-Shah, I undertake to continue his work to protect, nurture and advance the work of the Tradition - this work which is vital to humanity.
As did my father, I count with your support and efforts along this road, and you may count with mine.
This work is already continuing. I will ask for nothing more than that which my father asked of you all: hard work in humility and to trust in the Lord for his patience and love.
The road is open and I will walk it. Walk with me in the company of our great master Agha, who gave us all so much and who has now given the opportunity to give in return.
Con Dios
Arif Ali Shah (manuscript signature added)
