Question:
Assalmualaikum Eshaykh,
If one has many pictures of Sultan Awliya,Shaykh Hisham/Adnan,Prophet Muhammad saw dergah and all the grandshaykhs in a single room does the room become heavy with their presences ? And what is the Adab of having their pictures in the room does it effect the individual and the surroundings ?
Many thanks
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
What we have learned from our mashaykh is even their photos, as they carry light from their original images, have great power of protection from Shaytan, and that is why they are good to place everywhere in the home, except where one prays not on the qiblah side, and that is the practice of our mashaykh.
For those who object so strenuously on this, let them destroy their passports, identity cards and all their money, before objecting to our mashaykh.
