This is the method of conveying the reward to the pious elders of the deen. The pious predecessors say that the student himself gets benefit in this.
The first benefit the student receives for conveying the reward, is that his connection with the pious elders is strengthened. This reward is presented in the form of a gift. In response to that gift, the student attains blessings from the pious elders, particularly from Muraqabah. This is how he acquires faiz. Furthermore, the special qualities of the pious elders are transferred to the student.
The AwliyahAllah have spent their lives adhering to the Sunnah. In their company, we also develop these qualities. Thus, whenever we sit for dhikr we should recite Surah Fatihah, Surah Ikhlas & Durood Shareef at the end and convey the rewards to our honourable Mashaikh of this order. Thereafter, we sit in Muraqabah. If we make this a habit, we recieve a lot of benefit. One's love and status is increased and he receives the faiz.
The greatest thing in Tasawwuf is that if your Sheikh is alive you should take maximum benefit from your Sheikh's company. His company is the most valuable thing.
The biggest worship during the last ten days is to perform I'itikaaf. The greatest portion of Ramadan is the last third and the greatest night is Laylatul Qadr. We are about to receive both blessings.
Allah ta'ala hasn't made I'itikaaf Fard, however, if you are given the opportunity to sit, you should do so. If you cannot perform all ten days, then you should sit at least for a few days. The men should perform I'itikaaf at the Jaami' masjid so that they may also perform Jumu'ah there and the women should perform I'itikaaf at home in a designated area.
The best place for a student to sit in I'itikaaf is to sit in his Sheikh's Khankah where the Sheikh is present. Even if he is not present, his blessings and spirituality are present there.
If you desire to sit for Sunnah I'itikaaf, then put your name down to sit in Manchester Khankah in advance so that your place may be booked.
Allah ta'ala's mercy is spreading throughout Ramadan. We should ask from Him as much as we can. We should not waste this time as we do not know if we will receive this opportunity again. We may feel tired and sleepy, however, we must prepare ourselves mentally to sleep less because this is how these ten days should be spent. These blessings will not return again so we should maximise our time by attending the dhikr gatherings.
