there are probably shaykhs in the vancouver region.

around here i do know of one fellow called sohrwardy, however he's brelwi oriented and involved in some very shady practices. including attending ashura gathering with ****tes or so it is rumored.

truth be told i haven't really asked around about legit sufi shaykhs in my area but is highly doubtful that are any genuine shaykhs in Calgary.

Shaykh Fayaz Tilly is in Calgary, he's a source of blessing for the community, but he is not a sufi shaykh. so not what you are looking for.

if you're interested in finding a shaykh you should probably first read this:

http://www.sufizikr.org/wp-content/u...t__Tariqat.pdf

keep in mind that choosing a shaykh is not a matter one can take lightly.

Also I second Acacia's question, if there is anyone who knows of legit sufi shaykhs in western Canada (alberta area especially) please speak up.

I recall Imam Syed Soharwardy from a fatwa that was in the news not too long ago (I posted a link to it on SF) about the honour killing trial. I am not interested in elaborate or shady practices or anything that involves whirling, dancing or singing. Just guidance with silent dhikr ("over-the-counter' and 'prescription' dhikr for the heart, mind and soul"), much like what Shaykh Hussain seems to do.

for the booklet, I will read up on it insha'Allah and I do wish to find a sufi shaykh but am very cautious about who to choose and am in no rush so for sure, I am not taking this lightly.

Salam... Oh and Shaykh Hussain website is a gold mine of lectures on spiritual development and jihadunnafs I would reccomend it to everyone. Pretty much everyone I introduced it to loves the website.

yes, I noticed them and intend to listen to them one-by-one.
