A way marked by sobriety, shukr, adab and service. It does not seek the brilliance of miracles, but the rightness of the heart in ordinary life. It accepts work, family, trade — and sees in them the very ground of transformation.

To whom — living, departed, present in memory — do I owe a particular adab today?
