Shaykh Muhammad Jamil Zeno tells of his journey of coming to the truth, from the polytheism of Sufism to the monotheism of Islam.
“Another Sufi wanted to cultivate his soul and belittle it, so he carried a bag around his neck and filled it with nutmeg fruit. He went to the market, and every time a child passed by him,he would say to him, “Spit in my face so I can give you a nutmeg fruit.” It is a fruit that the children love, so the child would spit in his face, and he would give him a nutmeg fruit. And like this, the spit from the children came in succession on the face of the shaykh, desiring to take the nutmeg fruit, while the Sufi shaykh was happy. When I heard these two stories, I almost burst with rage and my chest became tightened from this corrupt cultivation that Islam is free from.”
