Question:
Salam aleykoum,
Dear sheikhs. Hope to find you in good health.
I’m trying to follow the tariqa since more than two years now, but I realize I have a big problem : Everytime I start to get better, I ALWAYS fall on something that makes me doubt, I never manage to keep wondering “What if I’m following wrong teachings?” Astagfirullah and end up finding out that I was wrong.
I try try try not to do this again but it ALWAYS happens. What can I do? I already do the “100 al Ikhlas/Falaq/an Nas” thing daily. It’s really making me feel awful, please forgive me.
Answer:
Wa`alaykumussalam,
Do not give heed to the whispers of shaytan, they are there to always disturb your concentration. Keep on doing what Mawlana Shaykh Nazim teaches and make it a part of your daily routine. Keep the company of good, pious people and leave no room for any doubt to seep in.
