Robbers of the path & safeguard from them

Posted November 14th, 2007 by 'abd

Hadhrat Mufti Mohammad Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said,

“There are two robbers on this path (of tasawwuf).

One of them is heedlessness:loosing focus (ghaflah), and the other is committing sin (ma’asiat).

As a safeguard from them one should sit in the company (suhba) of a pious person (Shaykh).”
