Question:
Assalamu’aykum,
Since I’ve known Maulana before and after taking bayat, I’ve felt cold-like feeling around my chest, fresh feeling like noor, either when I read sohbet, seeing Mawlana Shaykh Nazim or Mawlana Shaykh Hisham on Naqshbandi websites and especially after shalat or zikir.
When I took bayat with Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, the feeling grow wider and stayed for more than a month even while I am not doing any ibadah. But now, I have not felt as frequent as before. My questions; what is that cold-like feeling? I like it, what should I do to keep it? Please ask Maulana to pray for me. Astaghfirullah. Endless gratitude for you.
Wa’alaykum salam
**Thank you so much for all staff. May Allah give more of precious knowledge and more honor. You are all so sweet. May I know alternative way to donate to eshaykh as I do not have any of the credit cards posted? Thank you
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Coolness and comfort are encouragements, like good dreams, but through progress they may be less rather than more. Let your heart’s spiritual attachment to Allah and His Prophet through Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) become stronger with dhikr even if there are less external signs, since success is not measured by them.
