A Daleel (12.02.2009)
folow a sheikh who is of the right aqeeda (some shaziliyah shuyukh, some chistiyah shuyuklh, some qadiriya and naqshbandi shuyukh are perading around the uk as bone fide authentic ahle sunnat sheikhs when in fact they are corrupt in their beliefs, some who resemble the shiah some who resemble the wahabi/deobandi schools) and secondly who is a faaqi (has a good understanding of religious law - shariatullah)What makes the Sufi? Purity of heart;
Not the patched mantle and the lust perverse
Of those vile earth-bound men who steal his name.
He in all dregs discerns the essence pure:
In hardship ease, in tribulation joy.
The phantom sentries, who with batons drawn
Guard Beauty's place-gate and curtained bower,
Give way before him, unafraid he passes,
And showing the King's arrow, enters in a true Sufi
Mevlana
