Haven’t found a spiritual guide yet? Here’s what you do until you find one:

“Many of the imams of the path who are fit for following have said that occupying oneself with salaat on the Prophet (pbuh) is one of the greatest causes of Fath (opening) on the servant, and that it takes the place of the shaykh in (spiritual) upbringing, and many knowers (aarifeen) have arrived through it to knowledge of Allah Most High, having no shaykh other than that.”

- Shaykh Ahmad Zayni Dahlan (d. 1886), the Mufti of the Shafi’is of Mecca.
