Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the act of gifting something to your Shaykh benefits your soul in profound ways. By giving to your Shaykh, you are offering from what Allah has given you, and this act is a form of khidmat (service) that ignites a spiritual flame within you. It purifies your heart and soul, while also humbling the ego and elevating your spiritual station. This act of giving reflects sincerity, love, and tawakkul (reliance on Allah), and it draws you closer to the teachings and example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Remember, giving to your Shaykh is a means of spiritual purification and growth, leading to a deepening of the bond between you, your Shaykh, and Allah. May Allah bless you with a generous heart and elevate your soul through your acts of giving. Ameen.
