Question:
Salam Ya Mashaykh.
I sincerely want to apologize for my sins against Shaykh Nazim[q] and Seyh Abdul Kerim[ra]. I saw in a dream I was kissing Seyh AbdulKerim’s feet and saying I apologize for my sins my Shaykh.
I’ve renewed bayt with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim[q] but I still feel as though I have not apologized well enough. Please tell me how I can apologize to Mawlana Shaykh. As well as to every other Shaykh in our order. Salam. Jazakallah Khairan.
