In this episode, Shaykh Zahir Bacchus covers the 118th aphorism of the Hikam : “As the Real knew of impatience in you, He made spiritual works diverse in kind; and as He knew the greediness in you, He withheld them from you at certain times; So that your concern might be to fulfill the prayer, not the mere occurrence of the prayer. For not everyone at prayer is fulfilling it.”
This podcast covers “The Hikam”, considered a classical masterpiece in spiritual literature – written by the great spiritual master of 13th/14th century Ibn Ata’illah. The Hikam is a book of spiritual aphorisms containing timeless and pure spiritual wisdom.
