As wr wb,

following on from my previous blog I just want to mention one of the first simple but very important lessons I was given in tasawwuf.  Maybe at that time I never realised the importance of it but looking back now I realise what an insight a sheikh has to a persons rectification.

I was leaving my sheikh's house, after having visited him at home for the first time. I was putting on my shoes aware that the sunnah is to put on the right foot first and then the left. He said to me whilst putting on the shoes that Abdul majid when we follow the sunnah make the intention I am doing this so the Love of Allah comes in to my heart.

As Sheikh Zakariya Rahmatullah alaihi quoted the beginning f Tasawwuf is to correct the intention all we do must be to please Allah.
