What is the view of the Alhus Sunnah Wal Jamiat concerning ShaykhNashabandi?
Question
If this is not a proper question please ignore? I'm havingtrouble understanding the true role if any of Sufism and Islam. When I askquestions to people they always give me vague and unclear answers, thus I amconfused? I just want to know honestly, is this someone who's principles Ishould follow or not?
Answer
Shaykh Nakshabandi was a spiritual mentor. One may follow his guidance through a spiritual mentor who is aware of the great Shaykh's guides and principles.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
