I like your point about raising Shuyukh beyond humanity, and the Shuyukh being burdened with the responsibility - it's true.

As for the rest of your points, I do think they have already been addressed in my previous post and that you are mixing my points about the beard and the Islamic finance, but if you disagree you can ask a specific question.

Additionally, the Mashayikh I have had the opportunity to observe are extremely particular about each and every Sunnah. There are cases in which the Shaykh reprimands someone for stepping onto a Musalla with the left foot. I firmly believe that Allah ta'ala has kept Awliya in this Ummah that make the Sunnah their day and night and will accept no compromise. "thullatun minal awwalina wa qaleelun minal aakhireen" - there are few. Very few. But they exist, because Allah ta'ala will not give us a command to keep the Suhbah of the Sadiqeen if they were to disappear.
