Murshed

Question:

Es Selamu Alejkum
Please, can you tell me how to find murshed and to be convinced about him?

Answer:

Wa `alaykum salam,

This best way is to learn about  The Greatness of The Naqshbandi Murshids. We suggest that you read Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani’s book, The Naqshbandi Sufi Way. Then, ask Allah (swt) to guide you through your heart. Ya Hadi!

Here is a suhbat given by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani that you may, inshaAllah,  also find benefit:  The Heavenly Benefits of Following a True Murshid.

God has differentiated
His signs
for the mindful and far-seeing,
He made them firm
for pure hearts
that follow none
but the paths of guidance.
He gave rational speech
to all who keep on speaking
to our ears,
imploring and singing.
Their speech has bewildered our minds,
but He brought
the light of guidance,
and those were guided
who saw and became manifest
through His lights–
to Him belong the beginning
and the end!

[Excerpt from the book, The Self-Disclosure of God: Principles of Ibn Al-‘Arabi’s Cosmology by William C. Chittick, pp.353].
