This paper deals with Shariah and Tariqat.The decrees of Shariah have two kinds. One is related to the body ( which is visible). While the other one is about the soul (in visilble). Shariah is a combination of visible and un visible decrees. Tariqat is not a separate entity,it is an integral part of Shariah. The people who consider Tariqat as a separate entity, as a matter of fact they are misguided purification of soul and to make one self abiding by teh laws of Shariah, the Sufia have proposed some specific practices and activities for their followers. They asked their followers to strictly adhere to these practices. Not only for the followers but also for the spiritual guides; it is incumbent on them to follow the rules of Shariah whether these are related to body or to the soul. Irrespective of the position of the spiritual guide,he should also abide by the laws of Shariah. His sufipractices, supernatural events or miracles have no value and no acceptance to the Almighty Allah . Tariqat must be under the rules of Shariah, other wise it will not be acceptable.
