i have a younger acquaintance who is very troubled about deen. he lives in university hostel and was very close to the imam of the university masjid. the imam left to eb replaced by new one. but thats not the problem. the problem is he cant talk to the new imam as he could talk to the previous one. his family is anti-tableegh. as in they dont mind him being interested in religion but they dont like him leaving home (or hostel for that matter) to sit in company of mashaikh.

he has zeal for dawah but now he can only do so on facebook. he does it to make the liberal class that doesnt frequent msoques to come close to islam. in my personal opinion he over does it constantly posting islamic content on liberal pages, bickering with liberals and barelvis etc etc.

he also says that he is lagging behind in studies and he feels his prayers are not for Allah (SWT).

he is in hostel for the summers and his home is in central punjab. i asked him if there are other guys in hostel who he can talk to and he said one of them turned him down.

ml.taliban...what to do with this guy?he desperately needs a sheikh or help of some kind.i fear his dawah on facebook is becoming adawah

I will say what my beloved Shaikh db said.

The problem he has is a dead heart. He feels his prayers are not for Allah because he doesnt have a personal talluk with the Creator. He needs to work on his heart and create a personal talluk with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Sometimes what happens is apparently it looks like we're doing great work of deen but in reality it is not deen. How? Because if a thing is not done for Allah then its useless. first we need to work on ourselves then worry about others.

For this, he needs to do some things:

1) Cut off all internet, fb, and stop all kinds of dawah everything.

2) Get in touch with a proper shaikh even if on email and follow his prescriptions.

He Can find a list of naqshbundi shaikhs here: www.tasawwuf.org

3) Start listening to a bayan of Shaikh Zulfiqar DB. One bayan daily. Www.tasawwuf.org. The time spent on fb can be used in this.

4) 100 times istighfar daily - astaghfirullaha rabbi min kulli zambin wa atoobu ilaihi

5) 100 times durood any.

6) 1 juz quran daily (or as much as one can)

7) Any authentic tafseer like maariful quran

8) Wuqoof e qalbi - throughout the day try to make your hearts attention towards Allah and think that Allah is watching you. Whenever you loose this though bring back the attention.

9) Muraqabah - Sit with your eyes closed. Put your attention towards your heart and imagine it saying Allah Allah. Your tongue shudnt move. The Allah Allah should come from the heart. 10-15 mins daily for this. Increase gradually as you get used to it.
