Question:
As salamu Alaikum,
I hope this message finds you in good health. InshaAllah.
I am in great need of Mawlana Shaykh’s guidance and prayers in this matter. He is best to guide me in this situation and love him very much! I am unable to consult him personally due to many reasons. Please convey this message to him:
I have a marriage proposal from a friend I have known for many years. He is Punjabi/ Indian from Sikh background and has great love and respect for Tasawwuf/Tariqa. He has loved me for many years. He is willing to take his shahada. Both families met. His family agreed and likes me. My parents agreed partly, but have their doubts. The final decision is to be decided soon. My heart will not find peace and happiness if I go one more step without my Shaykh’s permission and prayers.
Please pray for me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham says, if he accepts Shahada and your family accepts him then go ahead.
