Question:
Aslamualaykum
I hope you can clarify t his matter for the local community in [private] as it has caused us much confusion.
My question is regarding Shaykh [private] who lives at [private], where he also leads dhikr.
He says that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim deputed him for the whole world. However some people do not agree with this. They say that he has jinns and is a magician and advise people not to go to him. What makes this more confusing is that these people are Naqshabandi as well.
Is he an authorized representative and has he reached a state of sainthood?
May Allah reward you for your efforts and unite the ummah.
Wassalaam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
If he really says that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim “deputed him for the whole world” then run away from him. If he did not say that, then listen to your heart.
