Thank you! My family has been great believers in the path of sufism for generations. i.e. we are traditional sunni muslims; since i was little i had heard the names of the great sanctified muslim saints all the time and so i had this passion from a young age to join a sufi path myself via one of this realised sufi saints. so i asked friends to keep a look out for any such saints and i was lucky enough to find one eventually to whom i pledged allegiance via the bayah ceremony.

please email me privately for more detail.
