Question:
Salams Beloved Sayedi and Staff.
I was hoping to ask on what is better to do in regards to these new scanners they use at airports. They use it to scan you, and it takes naked image of you. You do have the option to refuse it, but then they put you through an aggressive pat down even more so then usual, which includes touching everywhere. Is it better to just go with the scanner or not to? Thank you..
Answer:
Salam `alaykum,
In our Tariqa either scenario is easy in comparison to the hereafter. Our times are outwardly more wild and inwardly more Haqqani as they remind us ever more to think of ourselves as lying on the slab being washed before burial, and entering the grave for interrogation by the Two “Dreadful and Ghastly” angels (Munkar and Nakir). As Mawlana Shaykh Nazim says (may his soul be sanctified): “Allahu nazhiri, Allahu hadiri, Allahu ma`i” (Allah is looking at me, Allah is present before me, Allah is with me). Honor and safety are all in His Hand and what His creatures see from us or do to us is only from His decree and nothing else.
Hajj Gibril
