Question:
Salaam,
I am a murid of the Shadhili Tariqah and am bayah with Shaykh Muhammed al Yaqoubi. I am extremely confused on which path I should take, the Shadhili path, or the Naqshabandi path. I have noticed myself becoming closer and slowly gaining a connection with the Naqshabandi path and have started to think less about my Shaykh. Please can you shed some light on this and suggest what I can do.
Sorry for the lack of adaab, please forgive… Salaam.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
There is no murid without suhba with the shaykh, so take the effort and travel to see him or his representatives, and observe the spiritual tasks and recitals he gave you because they are the open door gifted by Allah to you for success here and hereafter.
