Question:
Most beloved brother,
I am an English speaking mureed having been brought towards the sufi naqshbandi order through the will of allah. I have been guided a far way thus far.
My question is should I continue to recite the holy words in arabic or learn the english meanings, that in some cases could have more personal significance?
Send me prayers that I continue to flow with guidance.
May allah bless you. Salaams
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani will pray for you.
The original Arabic contains blessings which will not accompany recitation in translation. So you may continue to recite in Arabic and at the same time try to learn the meanings in English.
Try to practice the awrad of the Initiate at the Naqshbandi website.
