Request:
O beloved shaykhs,
Please pray for me as I am so lacking in doing my obligatory prayers that it worries me.
Please pray for me that I start to do them with khushu and on time every day. Also please make dua that faith enters my heart and never leaves it. I would be grateful if you could forward me anything which I could recite to strengthen my faith and guard against laziness and other negative influences at prayer times.
Secondly, I want to ask that on your website eshaykh.com if I find some wazeefas am I OK to read them or do I need to obtain permissions from yourself before reciting them.
Thirdly, what advice would you suggest to follow the tasawwuf path? It seems very very difficult.
Response:
Insha Allah, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you. Laziness in religious duties is a thing that must be fought against. It is a daily struggle, but you shall find yourself loving the prayers soon enough.
Refer to this post for advise regarding wazifah.
Tasawwuf and Tariqah is a way of love and purity. Part of this requires much discipline and etiquette. Many Muslims all over the world are following this way with ease, so you shall be too. Take the first step here.
Abdul Shakur
