Students’ impressions
Studying this precious book with Sayyidati Shaykha Umm Ayman has been one of the greatest blessings in my life – a turning point in my spiritual journey and a guiding light I can always return to.
It has been a heart awakening experience! With each lesson, I feel like I’m embarking on a journey of introspection, gaining a deeper understanding of the tariqa and the special relationship between a murid and a murshid which brings us closer to Allah swt.
Shaykha Umm Ayman doesn’t just explain the text; she brings it to life
She speaks of difficulties with the tenderness of someone who has already gone through the path, and she describes the etiquettes of our tariqa with a beauty that touches the heart. She is not merely a teacher — she is a guide who has walked the path and extends her hand to you.
Studying Adab al-Mardiyya with Shaykha Umm Ayman has been a heart awakening experience! With each lesson, I feel like I’m embarking on a journey of introspection, gaining a deeper understanding of the tariqa and the special relationship between a murid and a murshid which brings us closer to Allah swt. — Shaykha Umm Ayman doesn’t just explain the text; she brings it to life which reflects her sincerity, wisdom, and tarbiyya under Sayyiduna Shaykh HafizhahumAllah. — I feel blessed to be in this course and highly recommend it to anyone seeking spiritual growth and transformation.
Studying this precious book with Sayyidati Shaykha Umm Ayman has been one of the greatest blessings in my life – a turning point in my spiritual journey and a guiding light I can always return to.
It was the very first Sufi lesson I received when I was still new in the tariqa. It taught me how to uphold proper manners with my Shaykh and with other murids — beginning with outward actions and leading to the state of the heart. I realized that adab is not mere outer demeanor, but a training preparing the heart to stand in the Divine Presence.
Shaykha Umm Ayman showed me how to truly live this adab. Her guidance deepened my understanding of the path, strengthened my connection with my Shaykh — increasing his presence in my heart and my respect for him — and ultimately enhanced my reverence for Allah.
I am deeply grateful and very excited for this new opportunity to study this book again and learn more – and I truly hope that that our brothers and sisters will not miss the opportunity.
If you allow me, I would like to share with you what I experienced while studying Adab Mardiyya with our beloved Shaykha Umm Ayman.
In the beginning, when everything was new to me, I would come to class and sit however I could, without knowing the value of adab in relation to knowledge.
Over time, as I began to apply what we learned in each session and became more aware of the importance of adab, I started arriving a little bit earlier, sitting more attentively, wearing perfume, turning off my phone… And I discovered something beautiful — when you improve your adab, the message reaches you in a completely different, deeper way. The same text, when listened to with adab, reaches your soul and transforms you. That was the practical gift I received — it wasn’t theory; it was a transformation I was truly living.
Our dear Shaykha enriches everything with real stories, anecdotes she has lived and witnessed alongside Sayyiduna Shaykh. She speaks of difficulties with the tenderness of someone who has already gone through the path, and she describes the etiquettes of our tariqa with a beauty that touches the heart. She is not merely a teacher — she is a guide who has walked the path and extends her hand to you.
Therefore, if you are just beginning and feel that everything is confusing, or if you have been on the path for some time and long to deepen your understanding and reach excellence in the etiquettes of adab, I say to you from the bottom of my heart, this teaching can be a light on your path. It doesn’t just give you information; it gives you a light that guides you.
It is a blessing, and I feel great joy and gratitude to be able to share this with all of you.
