Early experiences of Spiritual wayfaring

[Abu Nur]

Salaam Aleikum,

Do we have books that talks about the early experiences of spiritual wayfaring? There is the heart changing (and purification) and connection that can experienced from heart, but what about experience that comes from the realm of veiled that you can physically experience it?

For example, i heard that someone have experienced an heavenly musk scent manifesting from out of nowhere, is it from early spiritual wayfaring stage?

Salam , yeah it's true which some real stories about it has been recorded in Amazing Stories by Sayyid Abdul Husayn Dastaghaib Shirazi .which for example in one of stories when someone has helped a stranger farmer in a mosque so then after that he has "expirenced an heavenly musk scent manifesting from out of nowhere"

I am not the right person to be answering this but from what I understand the early stages are pretty much doing what you know you're supposed to be doing. Praying on time, being really good to your parents, never lying, quitting bad habits, giving to charity, helping others. 

Consider Sheikh Bahjat. The pivotal moment that made him the man that he is was when he, in obedience to his father, LEFT Sayyid Ali Qadhi. So what Allah loves to see is us being really good people, and through that he will further guide us. 

Do what you know you should be doing, don't do what you know you shouldn't be doing. If you manage to do that then Allah Himself will send you whatever is necessary to proceed further.

Jazakallah Khayran,

I believe it is a breath from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) to set yourself in this wayfaring and hijrah toward Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى).
