"A true sheikh is one who shades and comforts the travelers crossing the desert of this world. If you have the longing and determination to go on this journey, if you are in the proper state and know what you are searching for, then no matter how hard it may become, the sheikh can ease the difficulties, sorrows, and the fatigue you experience."
