My Shaikh,while he was extremely old ie above Ninety years of age,partially blind,could not hear properly,and had to be taken to masjid by two,because of his arthritis,....and the masjid was about fifteen minutes of walk away........,once told me: "Look,in the eyes of Sharia I might be considered 'Mazoor' if I don,t go to masjid for Salah,but as I am considered a 'Muqtada', I can,t risk praying at home,fearing you all might take it easy and stop going to masjid,so I drag myself to masjid and don,t act upon Rukhsa".RAHEMAHULLAH..

That is how a Sufi Shaikh,who is looked upon for guidance,should be !
