Request:
Assalaam ‘alaykum,
Can someone of high spiritual level please tell me if I am still a mureed of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. When I took ba’ya through Shaykh Gibril, I dreamt of Mawlana after some time, it was like I tried to kiss Mawlana’s hand but he removed his hands. Is that a negative sign?
But this is not mainly why I am asking if I’m still a mureed. The main reason is that I et a lot of waswas concerning aqeedah (salafi vs Sufi), ghusl, wudhu. I also get waswas like ‘is Mawlana a true Wali’ etc. or Shaykh Hisham.
I do not mean to say anything bad about these blessed persons. I’m not worthy of saying that. But I get a lot of waswas.
Can someone please help me?
Response:
Wa`alaykumussalam,
Waswasah is a whispering of Shaytan. Coupled by your own ignorance, you become doubtful of the rightful things and start to impress falsehood upon them.
Recite Surah al-Ikhlas 3x before each prayer, and then Surah al-Falaq and an-Naas, 3x after each prayer. Dedicate this recitation to your Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and to your Shaykh, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani and to all the Awliya. Do this without fail during each prayer, Insha Allah you shall see a difference.
