Question:
Alaikum Salaam
From start i want to apologize to MSN and MSH for my ignorant questions,
Im 16 in 20 days and have given online baya‘ to Maulana Shaykh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani Sultanul Awliya and im waiting for answer, but i have some questions.
Sometimes, astagfirullah, i have doubts in my iman, what should i do about that? And also, how can i become happier, i’m sad and don’t have many friends please tell me,
Wasaalam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam
The baya` will make your doubts will disappear and you will become happy, insha-Allah. Baya` means to sell yourself to Allah and His Prophet (s). Allah said about such ones:
{Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.} (Surat at-Tawba, 9:111)
“Fighting” in Allah’s way and being slain, means fight one’s lower self, Shaytan and the doubts he whispers to you, hawwa, desires and defeat them. So nothing could be better than the ‘sale’ you made, it is a real bargain.
As for friends, what better friend to have than Allah’s awliya, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham? Focus on them, by watching them on sufilive, and by connecting to them in your heart every day, and you will find all the Friends you need, insha-Allah.
