Request:
Assalaamualaykum,
Please pray for our dhikr gathering. There is an issue growing which make some people feel uncomfortable with the dhikr leader, including me, please forgive me for I am only a weak person.
When the place that I am attending not given signed by MSH, it was a very comfortable and humble place and I feel that it is part of my family. But now, I don’t feel at home. I feel like a stranger. I also feel much comfortable with the dhikr leader before he is replaced with the new one.
I feel so sad, I can not feel the virtue of the dhikr at that place anymore. I am also afraid, afraid that I am feeling better then others.
Please pray for us. For our unity and for all of us not to forget the virtue of dhikr.
Forgive me Sayyidi, for my bad adab.
Wassalaamualaykum
Response:
Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana is praying for you and all the Murids.
These are very common and expected if not obligatory tests of tariqa and of our love for Mawlana.
Put yourself last. Do your best and let not only feelings or your own interpretation motivate you, for dhikr operates at other levels. Connect your heart with Mawlana even without self-contentment. In sha Allah it will still improve.
