Before practicing all the knowledge in this application, hold tightly to these principles: 1. God is laysakamitslihi syai'un, different from everything, so make sure that if you see any light it is not God. do not get carried away with "extraordinary". because Satan will never stop derailing humans. And hold tight to these principles: 2. Sharia law is God's will for the body. Do not because you feel you understand the essence and then leave the law. it means heresy. Please learn it slowly while practicing.
One of the wills of Abuya Sayyid Alwi Almaliki Al Hasani is, Don't spend your old youth, don't spend your mornings and evenings, just to study the jurisprudence of sharia, because it will make your heart hard, so balance it with learning tauhid (knowing Allah). As the message of Sufi scholars, sharia without essence is futile, nature without sharia is deviant. We are sure, my friend has been tired of studying Islamic religious law. But still it is still easy to fall into disobedience, because you reach God through "law". whereas the knowledge of god through law is the lowest thing. So now is the time for you to learn the nature of yourself. because Essence is to perfect sharia, not to kill sharia.
