Question:
A friend of mine, a non-Muslim, met with Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
one time. She says the following:
I am seeking the Truth, why am I here, who am I? I don’t want to be asleep in some false world, but I don’t know how to wake up yet. If someone asked me what one thing is it that I want in life, I would just say ‘The Truth’…
So, what dua I should tell there to read so that one day inshAllah she will find what she is seeking? I know it passes through Mawlana…but someone who is not Muslim and just reads Rumi and is not very receptive to the idea of making Shahadah…
So I thought I should tell her to do some istighfar each and every day, and maybe Salawat-i Sharif daily since the road to the Truth passes through Allah’s Messenger and he is the the Truth.
What do you think?
Answer:
Recite Salawat al-Fatih and gift its reward to the Prophet (s) and to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani and Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and then ask for the sake of this salawat that Allah guide her to al-Islam, and then close your du`a with Surat al-Fatiha.
