Question:
As’salamu aleykum and Ramadan mubarak respected e-shaykh staff,
Bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim,
June 2, I took online baya with Maulana Shaykh Nazim and I’ve been patiently waiting for a confirmation on this. But now sadness and tears overcome me when I think of the fact I haven’t recieved anything, fearing that my baya is not accepted. Should I do it again, or should I wait for a reply?
Please inform me on this.
Jazak Allahu khayran.
May Allah swt give long life and good health to Maulana Shaykh Nazim and Maulana Shaykh Hisham, ameen.
As’salamu aleykum to all
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salaam wa rahmatullah, peace of Allah be upon you and His Mercy and Blessings! We apologize for the delay and please don’t be sad or worry anymore.
Congratulations on your initiation (baya`) which Mawlana Shaykh Nazim is accepting insha-Allah! We recommend you keep connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and his deputy Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani via the websites sufilive.com, haqqanisoul.com and The Naqshbandi website.
If you are able to visit the Shaykh this is also recommended, but you must inform us before traveling. We have daily transcription of the Shaykhs’ talks in 10 languages at sufilive.com.
Please begin to practice daily the awrad for the beginners, at the Naqshbandi website.
