Need a guide !

Question:

Ya Shaykh ! Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu ! I am in a deep trouble. I do not consider myself as a good muslim. I am not a regular namazi, as for that matter a practising muslim ! Only thing that I believe I have are the Salawat that I recite on our Master, Sayyidna Muhammed s.a.w. love for Ahle Bayt and love for Awliyaullah ! When I was a kid a studied under an Ustad who loved me dearly as I was among his best students. Likewise among the Ustad that I have studied under he is the one that I love and respect the most. He was the source of inspiration for me. But he left as he got a better job in Gulf country. With him leaving me my connection with spirituality broke. I was now running after worldly knowledge like school,college etc. Back then I did not realise the importance of our Aqida. It was recently when suddenly my Ustad phoned me one day out of the blue and informed me the importance of our Aqida. Then I was shocked to realise that everyone from my family,both maternal & paternal are of the Salafi aqida. They make fun of me, my Ustad ! I hate it over here now ! Oh Shaykh. I cant thank you enough. Its because of your sunnah.org website I have got some Islamic knowledge and its recently I’v started to contemplate. I am a slave of my ego and pleasures of this world. I would be among the people of Hellfire if you dont help me. I am at a loss. I dont have anything to show on Qiyamah in front of Allah s.w.t !! Medad.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi w abarakutuh

Alhamdulillah, the Prophet (s) said, “every person will be resurrected with the one he loves.”

Your ustadh is a treasure for whom you cannot thank Allah enough. He raised you to love Allah and His Prophet (s) and once he completed that task he moved on. And now you need a living guide, murshid,  a perfected shaykh able to perfect his followers, (shaykhun kamilan mukammilun) who can raise you, from a distance, through his spiritual power to high stations, from the darkness of your ego, lustful  desire, love of this world and shaytanic influence, and we recommend our master Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. You may take baya` (initiation) at the naqshbandi.org website.
