Obstacles on The Path.

“There are ten dangers in journeying to Allah Most High which may block some travellers on their path: seeing one's own deeds; prolonging hope; having egocentric notions about reaching sanctity; being dependent on the attention of mankind; being content with the vision of dreams; delighting in the litany (wird); taking pleasure in inspiration (warid); being reassured by promises; being satisfied with pretense; and being inattentive to Allah.”

—Imam Ibn ‘Ata’ Allah al-Iskandari
