Question:
Salam, shaykhs.
I’m a new a murid of Lokman Hoja Effendi of the Osmanli Naksibendi way. Lately however, I’m feeling unsure of my bayyah. I sometimes feel I made the wrong decision by giving bayyah. I know that many of the shaykhs have had their differences with Sh.Abdul Kerim effendi, so I would like an objective answer. Should I continue to be murid of Lokman effendi? I feel as though he isn’t the right murshid for me, although I have tremendous respect for him. (it is important to note I’m a twelver Shia, and I dont feel at home with him). What should I do? Should I change murshids? Is that possible? If so, then who? I live in Bangladesh, so it is difficult.
Salam.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Follow your heart.
