Question

Assallamu Alaykum Ya Shaykh ! I have more than one question, kindly answer all. 2. Are there awliya Allah in our times that you know of and can name for me? 3. Are you a Wali Allah? 4. Is it necessary to follow a tareeqa like Naqshbandi etc. ? Jazaakum Allah Khair !

Answer

We do not know who Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Haqqaani. However, as followers of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa`h, we believe in Karaamats (miracles performed by saintly persons).

Allah Ta'ala has created saintly persons in every time and era. Allah Ta'ala gifts some saintly persons with Karaamats. However, performing miracles is not a condition to be a saintly person. There are four famous schools in Sufism - Chistiyya, Naqshabandi, Saharwardiyya, Qaadriyya. Each school has prescribed its own way of reformation. However, the ultimate purpose is Ma' rifat (recognition) of Allah Ta'ala and Ittiba-e-Sunnah (following the Sunnah).

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
