Question:
Assalamualaikum Ya Sayyidi Maulana Nizam Al Haqqani,
I’m Indonesian, live in [private]. Our family believes that we are the descendants of [private] of [private]. We’re facing the condition of losing our identity and it’s really torturing me mentally.
I beg your kindness Syekh, to answer my questions. Is it true that [private] of [private] is Waliyullah, if it yes, I want to know about his manaqib.
Secondly, I beg you to answer my question with your kasyaf that Allah gives to his awliya, is it true that I am his descendant.
What should I do to get a sign from Allah regarding this matter?
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Allah swt sometimes likes to expose nasab (lineage) and sometimes He likes to hide it in order to test sincerity. Allah often hides even Prophetic lineage which is much more important.
Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said: “I don’t want you to come with your nasab on Qiyamah while others come with their deeds!” In other words check your ikhlas and don’t let shaytan and nafs torture you with nasab.
When Mawlana Shaykh Hisham visits your area next time he may or may not reveal the answer to your family’s question. In the meantime just say Hasbi Rabbi Jalla Allah and make shukur and Salawat on Prophet saws.
