Question:
My family go to rihla with ShaykhHamza (SH) on bus. I didn’t join, but helped to carry stuff. On a bridge, i saw SH on a jetty by the river with a sinking and burning ship.SH walked quickly. i passed him from behind but i didn’t say salam. He carried a girl.
Answer:
Means seek the safety (salam) of a guiding shaykh (Murshid) to “carry your weakness”, ie. to protect and guide you in the Last Days of the Ummah, when most people, including believers are “going down in flames” due to prevalance of sins. Don’t look right or left but focus on yourself and your family and following the way of `ibadah the Prophet (s) taught us from the fiqh of the Last Days, as often described in detail by Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani
