How to seek a Shekih?

[newcomer]

Assalam-u-Laykum Warahmatullahi Wabarkatu,

I would like to become a mureed of a suitable shiekh and was wondering if there are any prayers/wazifah/practice that I should carry out to find my sheikh.

I've read somewhere, one should read salat-ul-istikhara and your sheikh will appear in your dreams but can anyone elaborate and provide further details, please.

Hazrat Data Ali Hujweri (Rehmatullahi Ta'ala Alay) says something along these lines (not exact): who ever makes my book Kashful Mahjoob there friend then I will guide them and help them seek a good sheikh. Ulema say that to make the book ur companion/friend then u should read it all the time, and also keep it with u. Then Data saab (Rehmatullahi Ta'ala Alay) will come in ur dream and guide u.
And yes if u see someone and u believe that they are a good shaykh then u can pray salat-ul-istikhara to be advised if they are the right ones. inshallah

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

The most important thing to consider when searching a shaykh, is whether he conforms to sharia. The rest then becaomes easy, as he should meet your expectations. I would recommend you go to the majlis of several shaykhs and see if theyre compatibile. In order to derive benefit from a shaykh one has to find him
approachable and compatible. Therefore, it's advisable not to rush when in search of a Shaykh. You will know in your heart when you sit in the majlis, if the shaykh is who you are looking for.


But i agree doing istikhara will help.

SEARCHING FOR A MURSHID

Ghaus-ul A’zam Radi Allahu anhu says: “If a person is unable to differentiate between a true and false Murshid, he should read 2 Rakaats Nafil for achieving recognition of Almighty Allah at Tahajjud time. Then he should ask Almighty Allah to inform him of those pious people who will be able to guide him on the Right Path. He should beseech Almighty Allah to show him the person who will intoxicate him with Almighty Allah’s love and adorn the eyes of his heart with the light of Almighty Allah’s closeness and inform him of unseen happenings that he personally witnessed”. (Insha-Allah by doing so, one will receive the answer)(Al-Fath-ur Rabbani, pg.146)

JazakAllahu khayrun
