In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that some tasawwuf practices, like imagining a sheikh observing you, can help with focus and self-purification (tazkiya nafs). These methods involve gradually visualizing the sheikh, the Prophet ﷺ, and then Allah's presence. While they may seem beneficial, he emphasizes caution and stresses that religious actions must align with the Sunnah. Practices without clear precedence in Islam should be avoided.
