Tasawwuf

Tawajjuh

Q: I read that sufi shaykhs make tawajjuh (by talking to them and staring in their eyes) to their new murids, and the murid would experiance wajd or jazbah, this would be kind of ecstasy or so, and could result in joy or  crying, sadness, falling down etc. What is the truth behind this?

Islaah (Spiritual Reformation)

Q: I have a reformative relation with a shaikh who is khalifa majaz of Shah Hakeem Akhtar sahib DB but I am still not bayah with him. Its been a year like that. But recently there is a fear in my mind that if do not get bayah I will not  be able to remain steadfast on deen.

  1. Is bayah necessary to remain steadfast on deen?
  2. How will I come to know that I have munsabet with the above shaikh?
  3. Secondly my family background is also not very religious but I want to remain close with my deen because it has made me better person alhamdulillah.

Under this condition will bayah be helpful?
