Answer:
عليكم السلام
Murids are tested and Shaykhs are tested also, as we have heard from Mawlana so many times. We are works in progress until our last breath. This is the short answer.
Search your soul and ask forgiveness. “Istighfar in the last part of night” (Al `Imran 3:17) “is because Divine forgiveness is the greatest of all quests, and even the sum total of all quests” (Baydawi). “Ours is not a dergah of despair. Come back and come again” (Rumi).
