The manners of this company are:
- keeping the eyes downcast
- full concentration
- remaining silent
- stillness of the limbs
- hastening to fulfill His command
- avoiding prohibited things
- minimal objection to what He decrees for you
- constant remembrance of Him
- persevering in contemplation
- giving preference to the Truth
- despairing of created beings
- humility with extreme reverence
- a feeling of brokenness
- coupled with modesty
- peace of mind
- without any strategy for earning livelihood
- by having confidence in the guarantee of Allah
- and complete trust in the grace of Allah, Mighty & Majestic
- knowing with certainty that the best choice will always be the one He makes
These etiquette, all of them,
should constitute your distinguishing emblem
in áll your nights and days.
They are the spiritual courtesies of companionship
with a Friend who néver leaves your side
even as every one of creation
will part company with you
at one time or another.
~Beginning of Guidance~
[Chapter 3]
