Question:
Salam,
I’m 16 years old. And I alhumdulliah did Bayaa to Maulana Shaykh Nazim. I’m wondering how can I balance things out? Should I do the daily awrad? And what things should I do for my age/balance.. and what should I not do? And when should I do the night vigils? Should those only be when I have breaks? Like summer etc… jasak Allah. Please may dua for me Ya Shaykh! That I break my bags and inshallah become a good Muslim. May ALLAH give you and Maulana Shaykh Nazim long and healthy life (ameen)! And please tell me what tasbees I should say. And can I wear a turban and the kufi while praying?
Answer:
Wa`alaykumussalam,
Insha Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you. There are three levels of daily Dhikr. Do the Awrad for Initiates and you can read more here.
Just be a normal person, a good Muslim, a good son to your parents, and do good deeds. Wear the kufi every time you pray, and the turban at home. Don’t go around everywhere wearing your turban.
