His conduct and his writings show the practical confirmation of 1 اَنِدْهِا َطاَرِّصلا َمْيِقَتْسُمْلا اَنِدْهِا َطاَرِّصلا َمْيِقَتْسُمْلا [ ihdina s - s ir at al-mustaq i m— Guide us in the right path].

This is the deed by which sins are burnt off and this is the very recipe which gives man the senses and insight in this very world by which he experiences the bless- ings and bounties of the Hereafter in this world, and departs from here having attained cognizance and discernment.
