Request:
Assalaamualaykum Maulana Shaykh Hisham,
I am very bad mureed, in fact i am not qualified to be a mureed. I still follow my ego, my nafs. You are my Shaykh, you know better than me. I am frustrated because of my sins. I have an addict to something that is not allowed in Islam.
Also, I am taking care of my father. He is very old, paralized in his leg, so I have to help him in many conditions. This situation makes me very hard to do weekly awrad, daily awrad, also so hard to attend occasions when you or other representative of Maulana Shaykh Nazim came to my country. Please pray for me so I can do daily awrad, weekly awrad and attend any occasions regarding Naqshbandi Thariqah.
Ya Sayyidi, forgive me. Please pray so Allah forgive me also. Please send salaam to my beloved Maulana Shaykh Nazim.
Wassalaamualaykum

Wa`alaykumussalam,
Insha Allah, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you. Whatever that you do for your father, it shall be accepted as your personal struggle and is an act of ‘Ibadah that shall be witness for you in the Hereafter. Do get in touch with your local Naqshbandi representative from time to time, and perhaps the next time Shaykh Hisham pays a visit, you may get the opportunity to meet him.
Abdul Shakur
