Question:
assalamu alaikum
I am 19 years old.
1. How do you control your nafs and passions and clean ur qalb?
2. I see in many places that it is said to do dhikr..but I don’t know what to do…Please suggest daily dhikr so that inshallah I can follow it?
3. Sometimes I feel very good after praying or reciting salawat..but at times I feel that there is no connection between me and my LORD and my PROPHET PBUH or AWLIYA ALLAH RA..I feel worse at these times as I am really afraid that I might go far from them and might be among the unfortunate..Please help me..
Though I am not a mureed of Shaykh Nazim or Sheikh Hisham, I love them both.. Please pray for me that I should always be near and feel connected to ALLAH SWT, PROPHET PBUH and all the SAINTS.
Answer:
Wa`alaikumussalam,
3. Do not fear or give up hope. There will be times you will feel a closeness, and there will be times you will a disconnectedness. The former is Allah’s Grace for you to feel its beauty and taste its sweetness, the latter is a training for you to yearn for Him and fear Him.I invite you to take the hand of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani as your Guide. Make the initiation here and fill out the Welcome Form when you’ve done.
