Question:
Asalam
What are rabita and suhba? How do I perform them? I also read that Shaykh Hisham prays for his murids, does that mean he also prays for his talibs or talibeens?
In my previous question, Shaykh Gibril, u told me in order to acquire Divine knowledge I need to perform rabita and suhba. What are these and how do I perform them. Please ask the shaykhs to pray for me and my family, also to pray for me to become as pious as he is and so I can see the Prophet Muhammad pbuh in our dream
jazakallah khair
salawaat
allahuma salli ala Muhammad wa aali muhammad
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Suhba is to keep company of a perfect murshid and his representatives and murids who are implementing his way. Rabita is the heart’s spiritual connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless him and raise his ranks).
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you and your family. Make abundant salawat daily.
