Question:
Salam Alekum,
I have read that one needs a living teacher to learn and follow from, and that suhba is very important. I moved away from my home country where there was a big Naqshbandi gathering to a country where there is none. I feel so alone and need to reconnect with people of tariqa. How can I do that?
I have no means to travel to Cyprus for the time being, and as in many Western cities, there really are not many living Sufi masters.
Please advise me. Thank you!
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Our masters have made it easy for us by using the latest technology to attend suhbat even while remote. Use the facilities provided by sufilive.com, haqqanisoul.com, eshaykh.com, naqshbandi.org, etc. to keep connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and his deputies.
Additionally, this tariqah asks the murids to develop their inner faculties to connect spiritually with the Shaykh. Learn to practice rabitah and muraqabah at nurmuhammad.com to augment the physical connection and suhbat.
