Salam Alaikum,

Sultan e Auliya Shaykh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani Naqshbandi.

Moulana Sheikh Nazim was born in Larnaka, Nothern Cyprus in
the year 1922 on the 21st day of April.  He was the mureed and
follower of the Great Sultan ul Awliya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz
Daghistani who was also the Khatm ul Awliya or the Seal of
Saints.  After the passing away of Sheikh Abdullah in the year
1972 Moulana Sheikh Nazim became the Grandsheikh of the
Naqshabandi Tariqa.  He is now living in Nothern Cyprus in
Lefke and he is 86 years old.  He is the last Grandsheikh of the
Most Distinguished Naqshabandi Tariqa.  

As the Grandmaster of Sufism and as the Grandsheikh of the
Naqshabandi Tariqa, Moulana Sheikh Nazim initiates his
followers into the Most Distinguished Naqshabandi Sufi Order.
This is what is meant by taking Bayyath. When the follower
takes Bayyath, he has then begun his journey to the Divine
Presence. Moulana Sheikh Nazim will then be with him always
and will gradually guide that follower to the Divine Presence.
According to the capacity and apptitude of the follower
Moulana Sheikh Nazim will give him Spiritual Advancement,
Spiritual Ranks and Spiritual Stations.

When the Eye of the Heart is opened up and Spiritual Unveiling
takes place, the follower will experience so many different
Spiritual States.  

The goal of the follower in following Moulana Sheikh Nazim is
to enter into the Unity Oceans of Allah Almighty. Like a drop of
water that loses its identity when it falls into the Ocean, and
becomes the Ocean itself, the follower shall be made by
Moulana Sheikh Nazim to reach to the Unity Oceans of Allah
Almighty.

It is at this point, when he reaches to the Unity Oceans, that the
follower fulfills his purpose in being created, by becoming the
Deputy of Allah Almighty on Earth, where he shall represent
Allah Almighty throughout the entire Universe. This is the goal
of Sufism and all Religions.

What is important from Moulana Sheikh Nazim's point of view
about a new follower is for that follower to have a good heart
and to try to sincerely follow Moulana Sheik Nazim with love.  
This is far more important than the background from which
such follower comes.  The attribute of humbleness in a new
follower is one of the greatest assets that one could have for
quick spiritual advancement.

Moulana Sheikh Nazim is the Master and Guide par excellence  
during our times and he is doing his best to guide Mankind to
reach to the Divine Presence.

Moulana Sheikh Nazim is the Sultan e Auliya of
our time.  Sufism is the internal aspect and the Essence of
Islam.  There have been many Great Sufi Saints who have been
famous in the world.  But none of them have travelled as much
as Moulana Sheikh Nazim, who has been all around the world
spreading the message of Islam and Sufism.  On a modest
estimate Moulana Sheikh Nazim is said to have at least 40
million mureeds or devotees who are following him today.  
Many of Moulana Sheikh Nazim's followers have themselves
experienced a lot of spiritual openings and have also reached
to very high ranks.  This is simply by following Moulana Sheikh
Nazim.

it is also possible to connect up with Moulana Sheikh Nazim
and become his mureed by taking online  Bayyath or initiation as has
been detailed and explained on his website.  This was a
grant and great good tidings that was given to the world by
Moulana Sheikh Nazim so that any person from any corner of
the earth would be able to take Bayyath and connect up with
Moulana Sheikh Nazim and become a mureed of the most
distinguished Naqshabandi Tariqa.  

His Website in the world through which Bayyath
and connection was given and this connection through the
website is a reality today due to the unique power which has
been granted to Moulana Sheikh Nazim.

There is a lot of information on the teachings of Moulana
Sheikh Nazim and the Naqshabandi Tariqa to be found in his
website and this information is more than sufficient to learn of
the teachings of Moulana Sheikh Nazim and of Sufism and to be
able to progress spiritually.

The Knowledge found in his website is  not static and stale.
This is fresh knowledge and it is constantly updated by the
latest teachings of Moulana Sheikh Nazim.

As-salamu 'alaikum,

I thought I'd "revive" this thread. I think the topic is a great one. A lot of Muslims in the West are searching for a Shaikh!

Bismillah

As-salamu 'alaikum,

Let's add to the list.

There must be some Shaykhs in the UK and mainland Europe too.

I do that a lot.

But my suggestion was to the benefit of others too. It's interesting to know if there is a shaykh near one, so that one might visit him or attend his sessions, before commiting fully with bay'at.

[Fatema-the-resplendent]

Shaykh Nazim has centres across UK and one can go for Dhikr before making bayt/bayah. That is what I do and I really enjoy the Dhikr sessions and it is helping me decide if I want to take Bayt with him.

And I am not sure if there are many good Shaykhs around that are worthy of ones Bayah.
