Request:
Assalam,
I am currently undergoing great emotional pain and turmoil. I am doing prayer with zikr prescribed by my mursheed, but things are not working. I am feeling very suicidal and lost hope and faith in life. Past 10 years I had gone through lot of traumatic tragedies in life and these things have weakened in me in spirit and faith. Please help me and give guidance what should I do and where should I look for help because now I am totally lost and confused (I am a doctor by profession and I have tried almost everything including many spiritual practices).
Thanks

`Alaykum Salam,
Don’t despair as Allah gave you belief and huge honor. Make salawat on Prophet (upon him blessings and peace). You may take baya with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) and attend the weekly Naqshbandi dhikr in your area. In sha Allah it will lift your spirits. Give sadaqa or feed the poor every day.
