Q: Is one allowed to have a murshid/peer?
Q: Are Sufis innovators in Islam?
Q: I hear that we should remember death. Do we imagine ourselves dying or think about death? Please explain what is meant by remembering death?
Q: My routine aamal is:
Durood Sharif
Istigfar
Dua e Yunus
Hasbunalla huwa nemal wakil
La hawla
I do all of these aamal daily as much taufeeq as Allah gives, minimum 500 times each daily to 5000 times.
My question is should I continue this way or should I do only one of these aamal the whole day without counting and then the next amal the next and likewise?
Q: A person values something wholeheartedly, without disturbing anything else seeking Allah's Protection and Help, he tries to act upon the faraaidh, the sunnah knowing Allah to Him Belongs all things and to Him is the Ultimate return. If one silently, carefully, tries to act upon the deen but finds it difficult to make that continous effort because of "disturbance" [not exactly sin] but his mind being interrupted by the feeling of lack of taufeeq and enviromental insignificance for the deen, like outwardly or inwardly sunnats, preferance for faraaidh, etc. How does one maintain his continuous flow of aa'maal if he feels such weak, that he is disturbed by slightest interruptions/disturbances of being put-off by sayings of people or enviorment or even himself? How does one overcome this, it seems as long as one has no disturbances at least for some time, only then he can penetrate the flow and continuity of aa'maal, his faraaidh [inward/outward] sunnats etc. So how does he do this?
Q: I listen to your audios. I didn't understand one thing. You said "why should you take someone's misery? If he wants to be miserable let him die with his misery. Your heart is not a dumpyard, it is the place where the noor of Allah descends". It was something like that. What do you actually mean? I have a friend who shares her misery with me, (she is married to someone who she started to dislike but likes someone else who is getting married and many other things) I really don't know how to react and how to help her. Should I stop listening to her? Is that what you meant to say?

Q: I just wanted to know how we do the following things:
1. Muraqabah
2. Zikr e Qalbi.
(I am new to these sufi practices so I don't know that much)
Q: I am very much inspired by tassawuf and zikr of Allah and the guidance of Auliyas in our lives. I want to know, did any of the Auliyas use music while doing zikr of Allah? I have seen a video of a Shaikh who uses music in zikr. Please throw some light about the truth.
Q: Who are the Naqshbandis? Are their practices correct and in accordance to the Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah? Can I follow them?
