While reading this account, half way, a strange warmth spread in my heart and I was witnessing it astonishingly. Even remembering a true friend of Allah or to hear their stories does such alchemy inside of us.

May Allah be well pleased with the master and send blessings to his soul and to all of his beloved students. Ameen.

I myself might not be that obedient to a master. Yet, I believe, there is reason to everything. Just like what this story show us–beautifully.

Maybe when I refuse a master’s request, there is a reason too, haha :D

To pack up and go across country on the whim of a teacher seems ludicrous. I wouldn’t do it. I am firmly grounded in my scientific training and left-brained thinking, but I keep trying to open up the other side. I know something awaits me there.
