Question:
Salamaleikoum Mawlana Shaykh Hisham,
All praise to you, your family and to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and all Ahlu Bayt. May Allah give you long life and protection.
My question is about my heart and mind. I have been alhamdoulilah 5 years in Tariqah and I was born within an Ahlu Tassawuf family from Senegal. Although I have tremendous amount of love for you and Shaykh Nazim I still do not feel comfortable when I talk to some mourides. They say when something good happens to them it’s from Mawlana, while everything good like you said it many times it’s from Allah… Could you tell me if it’s my ego and mind playing with me or if I’m right thinking that no one should talk like that….
Your muheeb that loves you.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Anything that is good comes from Allah and no one can give good except Allah. That doesnt mean the Shaykh does not have power. The Shaykh makes du`a for you to have good experience, and to have good life and good business, and Allah sends the goodness. Don’t bother with who speaks with you, as not all of them are on the same understanding. Keep your understanding, it is correct.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
