Question:
Assalamualaykum Qutb al Mutassarif Sheikh Hisham al Qabbani QS
3 years ago I was given permission from a representitive of Mawlana to lead the weekly zikr in my town. Alhamdulillah we have had a small gathering for mureeds every week almost without fail. Even though the Ahlus Sunnah community has many problems in our town because of wahabis and salafis, more and more people, especially young people, are becoming attracted to the Naqshbandi Tariqa and to the teachings of Sultan ul Awliya and Sheikh Hisham. I wanted to ask if I should carry on with the weekly zikr and invite more people who are interested or if I should stop leading the zikr for our small community. I ask only because I feel that Sheikh Hisham knows better and has the proper authority to give permission to us or not.
Please visit U.K. soon inshAllah.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You have permission to continue. I am hereby renewing your Baya`. Go ahead and may Allah be pleased with you.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
