The Golden Chain

Although he is hiding himself

Shaykh Abul Hasan al-Kharqani (may God sanctify his innermost being), the seventh Shaykh in the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, said:-

“The Sufi is not the one who is always carrying the prayer rug, nor the one who is wearing patched clothes, nor the one who keeps certain customs and appearances, but the Sufi is the one to whom everyone’s focus is drawn, although he is hiding himself.”
