Request:
السلام عليكم رحمة الله
Please forgive me for insisting:
As you know, Sheikh, each day, the Islam is attacked in our lands, from Tambouctou, to Tunis, maqams are destroyed, graves of awliyaou Allah are erased and burned. The Sham Sherif is on their target too.. The responsables are few between people of لا إله إلا الله, we know them, they are very powerful and harmful. People are protesting, but the enemies as you know are very powerful.
Please, I ask you to ask Mawlana to pray for us, to pray for the truth. I also ask you to ask Mawlana to send some of his students to support us, and finally please give us awrad to help us.
ألا إن أولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون
صدق الله العظيم

Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah sanctify his secret) is praying for the Umma until he cannot stand anymore and that is the state of all Awliya in this time, with tears of blood. One wali in Sham lived in a small room and he would not leave it but cover his head in a shawl and circumambulate his cot reciting Qur’an with a shawl on his head non-stop except for salat and his only dua was Ya Rabbi Ummatal Habib. That wali was Muhammad Badee` Zhabyan al-Kaylani.
As the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said in Sahih Muslim, “make jihad against the wrongdoers with your heart” and that is the duty of every believer today, to turn to Allah fervently and ask for a better world. As for those who use the jihad of the hand and the jihad of the tongue most of them unfortunately have corrupted it and only added fuel to the fire. May Allah protect us here and hereafter.
