Question:
Asalaamu’Alaykum,
I wanted to write to you about a woman on Facebook who claims to have been given special powers by Mawlana. I don’t want to disclose too much, but I will say that she is becoming a threat. She gains trust and friendship so that you confide in her, making you think that she wants to help you, only to then shares your personal and private matters with other people on facebook. Its a constant cycle. She also claim to be very close to Mawlana shiekh Nazim. Can she really have these powers she claims? Has Mawlana given them to her? Or is she making it up? Could you please share some advice for me and my friends?
Thank you for your time, Please forgive me for any bad adab. May Allah swt bless u all ameen.
Jazak Allah
Salaams
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
As Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani has repeatedly advised to murids of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani: Get off Facebook!
As for anyone claiming special powers, special status, secrets and so forth, as usual the rule is “buyer beware!”
