Assalamualaikum, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Assalatuwassalamualaika ala rasulihil karim. Dear Mufti Ebrahim Sb., My name is SHAZI SHAKIL. My hometown is Ghazipur (UP, INDIA). I am Phd in Biotech, currently located at ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY, INDIA. But I would shortly join KING FAHAD MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTRE, JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA inshaALLAH. I sent u mails earlier also but didnt get any reply. I have been reading ur fatwas since long and my heart said that I should request u to become my spiritual mentor. I was originally from a bidati background. I have alhamdulillah spent 3-4, chilla in Tablighi jamaat (but not 4 months yet). I confess that some peculiar roohani amraaz are stll inside me and I tried alot, but these amraaz were not removed from me thru tablighi work alone. Then I started my search for a Sheikh to get bayat. Unfortunately, whenever I showed my desire for bayat I was discouraged by many tablighi colleagues and was told that tabligh is solution for COMPLETE REMOVAL of all ruhani amraaz. But I know the condition of my heart. For my islah I need a Sheikh as well along with tablighi work. Moreover, I attend a Sheikh Sb in Aligarh. I noticed that he never encourages tablighi jamaat. Hidayat came first in my life when tablighi people knocked my door. No Sheikh bothered about me when I was living a more sinful life. So I came to the conclusion that for my islah I need a Sheikh who actively encourages tablighi jamat. I have 2 requests: 1) KINDLY ACCEPT MY BAYAT (MAKE ME UR MUREED). 2) KINDLY GIVE ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS THROUGH WHICH U WOULD ANSWER MY QUERIES FOR MY ISLAH (InshaAllah I would try not to trouble u frequently). Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz don’t refuse!! Assalamualaikum Dr. Shazi Shakil S/o Dr. S. A. FARUQI, NIGAHIBEG, GHAZIPUR (UP)-233001 Mb 00919319570930 INDIA
