Concerning the Golestan-e Haftom Incident and Related Websites

قال الله تعالی: إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ

The Merciful God, as declared in this noble verse, has guaranteed the preservation of the sacred religion of Islam, the Holy Quran, and the true “Mysticism”—which is the inner essence of Islam and the spirit of the Quran. However, alongside this divine protection, God has assigned responsibility to the believers and emphasized their role in supporting His cause, stating: هُوَ الَّذِي أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ . Therefore, I expect the “fuqara” to be aware of the present circumstances and, considering the best interest of this noble order and current conditions, to pay attention to and act upon the following points:

  1. The “Dervish” path is founded upon peace, harmony, love, compassion, and service to all of God’s creation—these are essential faith commitments for all “fuqara”. Accordingly, I, this humble servant, disavow and condemn all instigators, agents, and perpetrators—direct or indirect—who caused the unrest on the night of 2018-02-20 on Golestan-e Haftom Street, disturbing public order and the peace of our respected neighbors, and who ignored the written message I had issued. Regrettably, their actions led to the martyrdom of three members of the police force, one member of the Basij, and injuries to other believers. I pray for the exaltation of the souls of all the martyrs and for strength, healing, and patience for their noble families.
  2. All websites claiming affiliation with this noble order—including Majzooban Noor, Mazar Soltani, and their associated sites—must, as I have repeatedly emphasized, be shut down. If those operating these sites consider themselves affiliated with “Dervishhood”, they must uphold the core principle of ““Dervishhood is obedience to command”.” Only the “Mazar Bidokht” site and, recently, the “Mehr Tabandeh” site—which must operate under the supervision of Mazar Bidokht—are officially recognized for “fuqara”.

I ask God Almighty to resolve all challenges, strengthen the school of “Wilayah”, and bless the “fuqara” with health and success.

With prayers,
The humble servant, Haj Dr. Noor Ali Tabandeh, Majzoub Ali Shah
