Question:
Assalam ‘alakum,ya dear Mawlana shaykh Nazim al-haqqni and ya shaykh Hisham kabbani!May allah’s mercy on you two and may allah pure your souls.AMIN!
I made baya with Mawlana Nazim through reciting the baya text Which one of my friend had shared to me on Janary 7th 2011.The people around me thought this way of baya was invalid and dis-exist.They think that one must make baya with his shaykh hand in hand and face to face.I’m confusing often.plz tell me what answer i should give me and them.Does mawlana nazim knew me a weak murid?I can’t visit mawlana,can i call to him?
Forgive my impolite and rude.May allah give mawlana nazim and shaykh hisham good health and long life!AMIN!
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Your baya` is valid and accepted insha-Allah, according to the instructions of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani. Follow the instructions sent to you about keeping the daily awrad and you will begin to move forward in the Way of Allah.
Don’t worry about making a telephone call to the Shaykh. He has millions of murids, all around the world, most of whom have not met with him personally nor spoken with him, but he connects with each and every one of them daily. Call to him through your heart, you will get a response.
