Question:
With all due respects I wish to convey my salaams to Mawlana shaykh Hisham and to the respected team. I am 26 years of age and got married two months ago. I was attracted to Naqshabandi Tariqa when I saw and read about Grand Shaykh Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. I previously was in the Qadiriya Tariqa. I always had the desire to go in search of knowledge in the path of Sufism. Now I wish to be a saint and am willing to submit my self and follow the paths of great saints. May I kindly request you to advise and guide me in this wonderful path to reach Haqq. My sincere thanks. W’salaams.
Answer:
audhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,
InshaAllah you are connected to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim who holds the trust of Qadri, Mevlevi, Shadhili, and other tariqats (totaling a minimum of 7) and is Murshid at-Tarbiyya, and other many other heavenly descriptions. May your aspirations be fulfilled and you meet and take baya` with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim or start through authorized websites.
wa’Allahu a`lam.
