You cannot pass an exam without preparion, without going through the syllabus. Same with the exam of this life - 3 questions in the grave. Who is your Rabb, who is Rasoolullah (saw), what is your deen? Hadeeth Jibreel - what is iman, ihsan, the deen? This is our syllabus that we need to prepare for.
Who is your Rabb? Pass this question if obey Allah, salaah etc. Who is Rasoolullah (saws)? Pass if follow islam.
HARDEST question: "what is your deen?" Linked to "what is ihsan" question in Hadith Jibreel - ie feel that you're watching Allah, or at least that Allah is watching you. How do we prepare for this question? With MURAQABAT. When MAKES EFFORT on this, get to stage where feel Allah in front of you. Boro Hadhrat main ibadat was this, Makkah, Madinah, everywhere.
Without ihsan, ibadat is without its soul. That's why you go to a friend of Allah. Zikr majlis - main one is muraqabat, zikr of heart, not loud zikr. Latter is just to entice new people, initiation for real zikr. (Once do former, don't feel like latter.) Naqshbandi syllabus, first sabaq = Qalb => ihsan.
Hadhrat Sahib brother, Asim, love zikr, lot of attention from Boro Hadhrat. Came into mother's dream after death, saying "why worried", was successful. Ihsan - all impurities removed from ibadat, no riya etc. We have Sheikh in UK, 5 khanqahs, so no excuse. If see Allah, can you sleep??
Without masjid, tabligh etc, we wouldn't know salaah etc. Same with ihsan - need the shayookh. Need to attain this. Will give us everything. Do muraqabah in abundance. Focus on you lataif, make effort (even without eyes closed etc). Allah, Allah, morning and evening. Do your tasbeehs. Call people to this - that's what ijtema was for. Don't even need time off, like tabligh chilla - body can be fully in dunya/work, and soul can be in muraqabah. Need to earn halal with your hands, not social security etc.
Hadhrat would work all day in shop, tired, and then go to khanqah and do zikr and meet people into early hours. Did this even when Asim passed away, tears only came in dua after majlis. ISTIKAAMAT. Mureeds - doctor, engineer etc - no-one taking time off for zikr, no excuse, can even do when sat at home. Do more zikr - barakat and blessing in your life, Allah will look after your dunya (Mention of Hadhrat's khadim in shop).
So, qalbi zikr > 70 times loud zikr. Do in every gap in your life.
