Question:
Salam Alaikum,
I had a question regarding following one shaykh. Since Mawlana Shaykh Nazim passed away, I’ve listened and followed Mawlana Shaykh Hisham. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim had ordered me in a dream to follow Mawlana Shaykh Hisham. I have felt as Mawlana being my door to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. My heart feels comfort with him, its happy with him and only seeks Mawlana’s guidance. I believe in him as my murshid and I put my trust in him. When I meditate I see Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, and even in rabita. I don’t know if rabita can be for Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, but it’s not in my control. So, is it okay if we obey and follow one shaykh only?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Yes, it is and stick to it.
