Request:
Assalamualikum!
Recently I saw a documentry on imam al ghazzali and I found out that in the early stages of his life he has the same views as I have. How can I obtain the same knowledge as him and how can I become a seeker of truth like him with proper guidance. As I want to seek for the real truth and knowledge please pray for me to have a guide. Also I am going Umrah on the 10th of June, so is there anything I can do to during umrah? Thank you and may Allah bless all.
Jazakallah!

`Alaykum as-Salam,
Imam al-Ghazali (Allah be well-pleased with him) took bay`a with one of the Shaykhs of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain and that is our advice to you in our time if you have not already done so.
For `Umra see https://eshaykh.com/ibadat-worship/hajj-umrah-ziyarah/umrah-and-madinah/
Pray 2 raka`ts on behalf of Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani and on behalf of Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani at the Ka`bah and in the Rawdat ash-sharifah.
Hajj Gibril Haddad
