RŪH AL-ADAB [THE SPIRIT OF ETIQUETTE]
{Fundamental Text for Basic Sūfī Instruction in the Faydah Tijānīyyah Community}
Writer/Composer: Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse
Translator: Professor Zachary Wright
Introduction: The Text
Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse’s.. first work was a poem summarizing proper comportment on the Sufi path, “The Spirit of Etiquette” (Ruh al-Adab), written at the age of twenty.
This text became fundamental for basic Sufi instruction in the Shaykh’s community.
Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse wrote the Ruh al-Adab in 1920 when his father was still alive, at the young age of twenty in Leone, in the Kaolack region of Senegal. The text demonstrates not simply his early mastery of classical Arabic but also his ability to speak authoritatively about the essence of Spiritual Wayfaring (Suluk) within Sufism. In many ways, the text is thus a testament to the educational system established by his father, Al-Hajj ‘Abdullah (d. 1922), and the integration of Sufism within a rigorous curriculum of Islamic learning. The later following of Shaykh Ibrahim made frequent use of the text, and many instructors used it to prepare students before giving them the Direct Experiential Knowledge (Ma‘rifa) of God through initiation (tarbiya).⁴
The Available Translations and Editions
This is the third English translation of the Ruh al-adab. It remains indebted to Shaykh Hasan Cissé’s first translation and explanation, completed orally in the 1990s.
Several American students recorded these lessons and later edited them in book form, published in Detroit by ‘Abd al-Hakim Halim in 1998 (second edition 2001), entitled The Spirit of Good Morals. Talut Dawud completed a second translation, unknown to me, around the same time that I was independently working on this one. When studying the text with Shaykh Hasan Cissé on various visits to Senegal between 1999 and 2003, I obtained permission from the shaykh to rework the translation; “Make it nice [in English],” he said.
My long delay in completing the task is partially explained by the fact that his translation was already quite good, and the observation that the transcription and editing work of ‘Abd al-Hakim Halim (no easy task to complete from cassette recordings) was difficult to replicate. Dawud’s work has also done much to streamline the inescapable awkwardness of a non-native English speaker’s rendering of Arabic poetry into English prose.
That said, Shaykh Hasan’s original translation has a certain timeless quality, an ability to speak directly to the reader as if he were present in the shaykh’s own learning circle. Dawud’s translation, and my own, remain influenced by Shaykh Hasan’s original in rhythm, tone, and meaning. I am not offering my own translation to supersede these important earlier works, but only as an alternative to be read in dialogue with others for a fuller understanding of Shaykh Ibrahim’s original Arabic poem.
