Question:
786
Assalamu Alaikum wr wb.
Ya sayyidi,
My family had left Australia and my brother-in-law had left Singapore to come to India with the intention to do more for others through my father-in-law’s business. But after listening to Maulana’s sohbet to go back to our homeland (which is in Singapore), what should we do?
Also, my father-in-law has recently came to know that we are practicing the Nashaqbandi Tariqat Way. He is always opposing us doing dzkir and praying the sunnah prayers. He indirectly told us that by doing the minimium is enough and doing business is as important to rememberance of Allah. I don’t want to be rude and I don’t want to hurt their feelings. What can we do?
Please advise what is the best for us.
Thank you.
