Now we have class with my Shaykh Sahab and
as he walks in I get a rush of happiness. My
heart is jumping, because I have been given the
opportunity to sit in the same room as him. I
pray to Allah I , ‘ Ya Allah, give my Shaykh
Sahab nur, make me benefit from him, let my
heart connect with his.’ I sit there with an open
heart, ready to take in every single word that
comes out of his mouth, and each word that he
says makes a footprint in my heart. I sit in class,
smiling and crying, but mostly crying. Everything
that he says takes me on a emotional rollercoaster,
I am going up and down, thinking of everything,
evaluating myself and then I erupt with tears. His
words create a flood of emotions in me, he takes
me out of this world spiritually.
Everyone leaves the class, and I want to do rabitah
with Shaykh Sahab. We sit there and I pour
my heart out, and do mashwara (seek advice)
on all my matters. He sits and listens and gives
me the best advice for this world and for my
hereafter. I trust him a hundred percent with
EVERYTHING. There is no room for doubt.
Shaykh Sahab is like my father, he is my friend,
he is MY shaykh. The love that I have for him
is unexplainable, but I truly love him from the
bottom of my heart. Sometimes I may not have
anything to say, but all I want to do is to sit with
him, be around him so that I can absorb the nur
(spiritual light) from him. When I am around
my Shaykh Sahab, I feel a connection, a spiritual
connection, that lifts me off the ground and I am
floating.
These beautiful teachers have been the biggest
blessing in my life. They have guided me,
continue to guide me and
protect me. They are
there for me whenever
I need them, and
I have totally
submitted myself
to them. May
Allah I
continue
to bless
us with
teachers
like
Shaykh
Sahab
and Baji
Jaan.
May
Allah I
guide and
protect
them and give
them good in
this life and the
hereafter. May they
be raised in a state
that their soul is nafs ul
mutmainna (content soul).
May they be given the shade of
the throne, the intersession of our
beloved Prophet e, may all their actions
be accepted, and may they be raised up with the
status of the awliya. Ameen.
Love you both so much!
