The Way Forward…
The sudden demise of Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (rahmatullah
alayh) left the Ummah in a state of shock. It has thus taken a while to determine the way forward and to delegate the numerous tasks that Hazrat (rahmatullah alayh) used to fulfil.
Many people have been anxious about who to communicate with, in terms of their Islahi (spiritual reformation) and personal questions. Since Hazrat (rahmatullah alayh) has passed on into the Rahmat of Allah Ta’ala, it has been decided that questions through this site will now be closed. Nevertheless, those wishing to communicate with somebody for their Islah (reformation) or to discuss their personal issues may contact one of the following people directly on their respective

However if one has greater Munasabat (compatibility) with any righteous Sheikh who has been generally acknowledged by the Ulama-e-Haq, then it will be most beneficial for one to communicate with him, since the benefit in the matters of reformation and tarbiyat depends largely on munasabat (compatiblity). One should nevertheless also make Mashwarah (consultation) and Istikharah before taking a Sheikh. Hazrat (rahmatullah alayh) used to recommend the talks “Tasawwuf Made Easy” (on this website) to aid a person when searching for a spiritual guide. It is a must for all those who are looking for the way forward. It may be heard using the links below:
