Is he well and truly your Shaykh , if you have no contact with him, for your sulook and spiritual welfare?
Or, is it just a coping mechanism for your life that’s falling apart but you think the shaykh will fix everything?
You can literally be a dervish in 2026.
There’s an 800+ km Sufi Trail you can walk from Istanbul all the way to Rumi’s tomb in Konya, following paths once used by dervishes. It takes around 40 days on foot, crossing green hills, Central Anatolia’s endless plains, quiet villages, old Seljuk hans, forgotten Ottoman tekkes, and open skies.
You walk with a backpack, a map, and time. No shortcuts. No spectacle. Turkish people invite you for tea, dogs walk with you for kilometers, and nights are spent in small towns. Every step is slow, repetitive, humbling, exactly the point.
It’s not cosplay, not nostalgia. It’s a living route. You start in Istanbul’s noise, and you end in Konya’s silence. If you want to understand Turkish Sufism, finding yourself, and why Rumi said “the journey itself is the home”, this is how you do it.

Ibn Attaillah was troubled by something heavy and went to his Shaykh Abbas al Mursi who gave him this remedy.
He then went onto compile the most beneficial work in the science of tassawuf, Ḥikam al-ʿAṭāʾiyyah
A believer is never outside of three states:
Ni‘mah (blessing) – and the duty in this state is shukr (gratitude).
Ibtilā’ (trial) – and the duty in this state is ṣabr (patience).
Ma‘ṣiyah (sin/error) – and the duty in this state is istighfār.
We’re all just one accident, one diagnosis, one unexpected phone call away from a completely different life. Stay humble and don’t take anything for granted.
In an age when hearts have become distant from the true essence of the religion, your heart remains bound to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ.
Be grateful for this gift, for there is no blessing greater than to be connected with him.
@aspiringabd Agree and disagree, I wouldn’t say it necessarily bars those who don’t fast from being able to claim love.
In the school of Malik, He considered voluntary fasting praiseworthy, but he disliked people making it into something binding upon themselves in a way that resembled fard
The words don’t just sit on the page, they seem to rise, carried by the same breath that once uttered them. You feel his presence in the stillness, his sincerity in every verse, his longing for Allah echoing through the courtyard.
For forgiveness, light, spiritual openings, and provision without measure.
There’s something almost otherworldly about sitting by the resting place of Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Habib, opening his Diwan, and letting the qasā’id roll off the tongue.
The Qasida overflows with praise to Allah whose forbearance, pardon, and veiling of faults know no limit. It moves from cosmic-scale gratitude to humble confession of our inability to truly praise Him, then turns to heartfelt duʿāʾ.
