Question:
Assalamu alykom wr wb,
People abuse my innocence, I am not saying I am any good but may be I am just too stupid or may be they are just a reflection of my own character. how can i learn from it, its like round n round same story always? how can i know who is lying? and who is not?
can you change me?
Answer:
wa `alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
It is important every night to practice muhasabah [taking account of one’s actions] in a state of contemplation [muraqaba] so the Shaykh can guide you to understanding what are your weaknesses. Insha’Allah when you do this practice [as Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani described it in full in the book The Sufi Science of Self Realization], you will learn what you need to improve in yourself. In the meantime, we also suggest you make sure to be doing at least 1500 x’s Allah, Allah everyday and 100 x’s salawat.
