Question:
I was adopted by Buddhist family at birth and raise as a Buddhist. Two months ago I met a man from Turkey who advised me to become Muslim, but was not sure. He asked me to read “ya syeikh Abdul kadir Jilani Syekh in lila 1000 times”and I saw Syeikh Abdul Kadir Jilani at the first nite. I took my syahada at the hands of this Turkish man. He explained everything about Aulia Allah then he told me I have to join Tariqat,and he asked me to read Naqshbandi.org and I read everything. He told me that Syekh Nazim and Syekh Hisham are real Aullia Allah. When Syekh Hisham came to Bandung in Indonesia few months ago he went to see him as well. I want to become his murid but can I become murid of Syekh Hisham or should I go to Madrasah in Bandung which is run buy khalifah of Syekh Nazim?
Answer:
Bayaa can beĀ with_ any representative but we must know that it is to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and to no one else, and we are all murids of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and no one else.
Yes, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hisham are real Awliya Allah and you should try to meet Shaykh Hisham when he comes to Indonesia this 24 September in sha Allah, and make bayaa with him.
