How does this Sheikh, this man of wisdom, attain his connection to God? He establishes complete faith in God. His faith is unwavering with no doubt or suspicion. It is firm, unshakable, ïmän-faith. Through this faith, he feeds on God’s qualities. He imbibes God’s actions, conduct, demeanor, and virtues, thus disappearing and dying in God. Through this death he attains wellness. How does this happen? As soon as he disappears, God transforms his qualities and gives him wellness through divine qualities. Karma, arrogance, selfishness, pride, and jealousy are transformed into God’s qualities. He is given that wellness. He will acquire God’s love, His virtues, His patience, His forbearance, His equanimity, and His three thousand gracious qualities. He adopts God’s attributes that are manifest as ninety-nine qualities in action (wiläyats). Because he is surrendered to God and merges with Him, he attains these qualities. Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) The Fast of Ramadan- pg.421-422
