Congratulations on your initiation (baya`) which Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is accepting insha-Allah. We recommend you keep connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and his deputy Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani via the websites sufilive.com, haqqanisoul.com and naqshbandi.org.
It is important is to begin your wird/awrad and stick to them without fail.
If you are able to visit the Shaykh this is also recommended, but you must inform us before traveling. We have daily transcription of the Shaykhs’ talks in 10 languages at sufilive.com.
If you have questions that need addressing, post them at eshaykh.com.
You may seek to attend congregational Dhikr at the nearest location to you (lookup at sufilive.com/centers).
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham have a number of books in English language which you may obtain from isn1.net.
In regards to your request, please see the Post “Prayer Request: Dua for Job” and follow the advice there.
