B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), giving gifts to your Shaykh is a blessed act that carries immense spiritual significance. When you give a gift to your Shaykh, it is a token of goodwill and a means of expressing your love and respect for the spiritual guidance and wisdom they provide.

In the Sufi tradition, giving gifts to the Shaykh is a way of strengthening the bond of love and respect between the student and the spiritual guide. It is an expression of gratitude for the spiritual knowledge and guidance received. The act of giving a gift to the Shaykh is a reflection of the love and appreciation that the student holds in their heart for the Shaykh’s teachings and guidance.

Furthermore, giving gifts to the Shaykh is a means of fulfilling the covenant and allegiance that the student has made with the spiritual path. It is a way of demonstrating one’s commitment to the Tariqa and the spiritual journey. By giving gifts to the Shaykh, the student seeks to attain the pleasure of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by showing love and respect to the spiritual guide who is instrumental in guiding them on the path of spirituality.

In return, the act of giving gifts to the Shaykh opens the heart of the student to receive blessings and spiritual openings. It is a means of seeking the pleasure of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and it is a way of expressing gratitude for the spiritual guidance and wisdom received.

May Allah bless you with the ability to express your love and gratitude to your Shaykh through the act of giving gifts, and may it bring you closer to the Divine presence. Ameen.

It’s important to remember that the act of giving gifts should be done with sincerity and love, seeking the pleasure of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
