Question:
Salam aleykum wa rahmatUllah wa barakatuh,
My most honorable spiritual brother Shaykh Hisham, I made Bayyi’ah to Mawlana some time ago through the internet. I feel now spiritually closer to Mawlana so I would like to visit him and give personal Bayyi’ah. Is there any permission for that?
May you pardon me, but I know of no other was than conveying these words to you:
I have good hopes in meeting you also someday , inshaAllah it will be soon.
Unfortunately I have not the feelings or adts of gratitude that befit this ni’mah of endless value, having on one hand the greatest Awliya on earth and ,on top of that a Sayyid, as my Sheikh and another Wali , a descendant of His Habib s.a.w, as my spritual brother.
May Allah increase your station according to His endless Generosity.
Wa kama yuhibuhu wa yardah.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
There is permission, but Shaykh Hisham advises anyone going to Cyprus, “don’t be upset if you don’t actually get to see Mawlana and spend personal time with him.”
