Therefore, before proceeding to higher levels ( maqâmât) in the tarekat, a disciple has to step on the very bottom of tarekat ladder, namely repentance. The repentance has substantial roots, i.e. takhallî and tahallî. The article was presented as a form of conceptual understanding of the meaning of repentance for the tarekat Naqshbandiyya Muzhar-iyya.
