Bayah with a living Shaykh

Question:

Aslamualaykum

I am confused about who is our Shaykh after Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Because in every tariqa after the Shaykh passes away the mureeds do bayah with the khalifah of the Shaykh. For example in the Shadhill tariqah after Shaykh Ibrahim al Yaqoubi passed away the next Shaykh was Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi. So in this tariqah I am confused on how we say that Shaykh Nazim is our Shaykh while everone else in other tariqas have a living Shaykh. Could you please clarify this point?

Answer:

Wa `alaykum salam,

Please see the Post “Baya with Sheikh Hisham After Sultan ul-Auliya.

As Shaykh Taher said in another post, “Whichever of the three khalifas you connect to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani through will take you to your goal, which is the baya of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim.”
