“Peaceful feeling”

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Dear Shaykh,
I come from a Hindu background. I reverted to Islam a few years ago. My parents still follow the essentials of Hinduism and visit temples. Recently I visited a temple with my parents out of respect and tolerance. When I walked around and looked at each idol.. A feeling of peace creeped all over my body. At the mosque I go to near my college, I have never felt this kind of peace at the jummah khutbah or prayer. I have only felt this kind of peace at a tiny Bengali mosque I prayed at in NYC.

Contacting Shaykh Nazim

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Eshaykh Staff

I reverted 18 months ago and am seeking a Shaykh and Shaykh Nazim draws me completely. However, I have never met Them either in person nor spiritually and want to wait until it is completely clear to me that They are my Shaykh. I have started doing the Divine Liturgy for the third group as suggested on the website and will continue to do so for 40 days. Can you suggest anyway that I can contact The Shaykh through the heart without being Their Mureed?
I thank you for your time Continue reading →
