Birmingham bro (although I'm always switching from here to my uni which is in a different city, and I may move away for work purposes once the degree is over which is why I'm not too concerned about the location of the Shaykh as long as we have some type of contact for islah purposes, even if it is only through online media)

@bro nike, I can't think of anything else to add (in terms of what I'm looking for) other than what I have put in the OP, just kinda desperate to get started on this stuff... your post was very helpful to me bro, for that

Brother I understand that your not too bothered about the location of the shaykh but being able to sit in the company of a Kamil shaykh is a world in it's own. Once somebody gave an example that if there is a tube light in a room, a person who is some distance away from the light will still be able to see however the person who is directly under the tube light will also feel some heat and warmth from the tube light as well as seeing clearly - imagine the Kamil sheikh as the tube light.
Being in the company of a kamil sheikh should be your aim, people used to go and spend years and years in khanqah's in the company of their sheikhs.
