The importance of bay'at

· 18 Muharram 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Recently, someone has been inquiring about bay'at and its importance. If mufti sahib could please explain as this person is interested in bay'at?

Answer

The bay`at that is practised by mashaayikh is a commitment by the mureed that he will commit himself to the islaahi program that the shaikh instructs him with. There are spiritual illnesses and sicknesses that have to be remedied and cured and the shaikh with his understanding will gradually direct the mureed how to go about correcting and rectifying himself.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
