① Water pours down in such abundance that the filth is completely washed away;
② The sun shines intensely, so much so that all traces of filth are burned away.
Similarly, there are only two ways to attain purification of the heart:
① To engage in so much dhikr that mercy rains down upon one’s heart – to such extents that it eliminates all filth, and cures the diseases of the heart in the same process;
② To remain in the company of a righteous Shaykh and serve him. Then, like the sun, the heart of the Shaykh shines it’s rays upon the heart of the disciple. The resulting blessings then remove all signs of the filth and a person’s heart is rendered pure.

Even if his action may not appear to agree with his word
The stubborn disagree wrongly:
How can the sleeping wake the asleep?
Man must listen to advice
Even if it is written on a wall

Posted Sufi Saying, Sufism
in
1. الْهَوَى (hawa) = Attraction
The beginning of love. This love can arise suddenly, but is transient, not yet firm in the heart.
2. الْعَلاقَةُ (‘alaqah) = Attachment
Love that becomes attached to the heart, and loses the transitory property ofhawa.
3. الْكَلَفُ (kalaf) = Infatuation
Love that begins to intensify and have a physical affect on the lover.
4. الْعِشْقُ (‘ishq) = Desire
Love that engulfs the heart of the lover entirely, and takes it as its residence, such that love and the heart in which it resides become intimately familiar with one-another. This love blinds the lover to any faults in the beloved.
5. الشّعَفُ / اللَّوْعَةُ / اللعَاج (sha’af, law’ah, li’aj) = Passion
Love that starts to burn, but at this stage, the love is still pleasurable in the heart.
6. الشّغَفُ (shaghaf) = Affliction
Destructive, all-consuming love. The heart begins to be devoured by the love.
7. اَلْجَوَى (jawaa)= Grief
Love that started with the outer covering of the heart. It takes over the entire heart, and results in an inner grief and sorrow.
8. التّيْمُ (taym) = Enslavement
Love to the point where the heart is enslaved to the beloved.
9. التَّبْل (tabl) = Malady
Love, which was once living pleasurably in the heart, having made it its home, now turns against the heart, and so overwhelms, confounds and bewilders it, that it is as though it were its enemy.
10. التَّدْلِيْه (tadleeh) = Disorder
Love when the heart is thus being destroyed from within, and begins to lose all sense of balance and reason, it goes into a state of chaos and disorder.
11. الْهُيُوْمُ (huyum) = Insanity
Love that comes to its conclusion.
