Prayer Request:
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim
As-salaamu 3alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu ya Sayyidi Hadritak Mawlana Shaykh Hisham,
May Allah Almighty bless your Presence and grant a long healthy life to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim.
I’ve been putting off writing you because I believe you know my situation, by Allah Ta3ala‘s leave, and that Allah Almighty is already providing us with everything we need by the Baraka of Sayyidina Muhammad (saws), Shaykh Nazim, yourself, and all awliya’illah. Nevertheless, I need to ask for your help, Sayyidi, because other people are relying on me. I am married with three children.I am ashamed to be writing you such nonsense because it seems just so ridiculous as I write it.
For nearly one month I have been basically stuck in my room. I stay in bed all day, not really eating, avoiding all contact with others that I can. I have left all my responsibilities except a bare minimum of salat and awrad. This happens to me almost every year around this time. I saw the doctor. He says I have Seasonal Depression. I am now taking anti-depressant medication. He also told me that I have a virus attacking my liver that would make me very tired. No doubt I am tired, but I feel the problem is in my mind, with my self. I feel so ashamed to even see another person. Al-hamdulillah I am a student in professional school and things had been going very well, but I need to recover quickly or I will have thrown away so much hard work.
Please pray for us and send us your support. I am sorry for being such a miserable excuse for a student or lover of yours. No doubt if not for you I would be long since dead or much worse. Your forgiveness, please Sayyidi.
wa salaam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakaatuhu.
