Has anybody heard from the scholars/mashayikh, or read in any authentic books as to how a person can determine whether they are progressing spiritually or not, and is there any indication in our lives that would actas a gauge as to whether or not our aamal are being accepted? I only ask so that I can take solace from theseindications, yet at the same time I make dua that Allah Subhanu Wa Tala saves me from pride.
