Question:
Asalamualaykum
I heard that only three in this tariqa are capable of giving irshaad, Shaykh Hisham, Shaykh Adnaan and Shaykh Mehmet.
I just want to ask does that mean that they are the only murshids in this tariqa and none of the other khalifas have reached the level of any of the four different levels of spiritual guided?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
They are the only khalifas. Others are madhun‘s (representatives) who can lead dhikr, give baya`, give suhbat from Mawlana Shaykh’s teachings, but are not on the level of irshad.
