As-Salaam ‘Alaykum!
I took bayat almost five years ago; since then I’m trying to go to Cyprus to visit Mawlana. I got into many dificulties and didn’t have sucess yet. Also my brothers, parents, some relatives and friends took bayat with Mawlana’s representative, but almost all of them got away from Tariqat and Islam; I´m afraid I’ve been too hard with them in the past, demanding them to follow our path and I feel I’m not enough good to help them. Now I got a new job and am very busy; it became pretty hard to fullfill the prayers and awrad. Now I feel very strong need to visit Shaykh Nazim this year and perform Hajj.
Please, I ask Shaykh Hisham’s du’a and advice to rectify all these situations.
I thank you all
Wa Salaam

Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you.
Baya`t with Mawlana will benefit if not here then in the grave and the hereafter. As for your devotions and obligations the five daily prayers are non-negotiable and come second to nothing: they have priority over everything; if you missed any, make them up in place of the Sunnah prayers; but the rest is forgiven in sha Allah as long as you intend to rectify your situation.
Recite the last two verses of Surat al-Baqara in the evening before sleep and 100x Hasbiya Allah wa ni`ama ‘l-Wakeel daily.
Hajj Gibril Haddad
