Question:
Assalamualaikum wr wb, Madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulullah saw to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham (and other sheikhs), al-Fatihah.
My name is [private] from Surabaya, Indonesia. Often times I apply for a job, but none accepted. Finally I decided to open my own business, income is not sufficient for the purpose. Now if I need to find employment in another company (an employee) or keep running my business to meet the needs of families and for the good in my religion. I do not want to depend on charity or the charity of relatives, I want to work hard to meet the needs of families.
Madad ya Sayyidi ya Maulana, ya Syaikhuna, I beg your prayers and please prompts for me and my family, where the path should I take, please advice. Thank you very much.
Wassalam wr wb
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Persevere and insha-Allah something will open up. At that time slaughter and distribute zabiha to the poor. Make dhikr with the Jama`a every week in your area or nearest you as regularly as possible. Visit Mawlana when he comes to your area.
