to Mrs. Tariq Jameel :)

Re: i need a religious mentor

Read stories of Um-ul-Mominat r.a. and try to act same as they done in whatever circumstances. btw when you get tempted by worldly desires, why you are in need of somebody? You have the best of the best book ‘They Holy Qur’an’ for guidance and Sunnah (hadihts) of Prophet Muhammad :saw2: hold it and do as ordered accordance to these.

Hope to see you one day, you are helping others rather than seeking helps of others.

Peace Tigerlilly,

You may attend the Islamic lectures in a gathering (Majlis) where seating arrangments for womens are also available.

Re: i need a religious mentor

If you cannot find a living mentor keep searching but in the meantime find solace in the books of mentors.

Re: i need a religious mentor

For a transformation à la Junaid Jamshed, I reckon Farhat Hashmi is your woman.

Re: i need a religious mentor

Or Islamic Library.

Re: i need a religious mentor

Try reading Imam Ghazali's books.

Re: i need a religious mentor

Are these books for ladies?

Re: i need a religious mentor

^what do you mean? for ladies?

Islam is for everyone, right?

Re: i need a religious mentor

Indeed. I thought maybe this book is related to female's issue. Never mind.

Re: i need a religious mentor

Peace tigerlilly

The majority of your concerns you can voice to a shaykh ... other ones are better voiced to a pious sister ... I can provide you with contact if you want ... in fact ask sister Afshi - she is a guppan and most likely she will know of high ranking students of knowledge who are sisters ...

Re: i need a religious mentor

where are u located TigetLilly??

Re: i need a religious mentor

I myself have found peace and happiness (at last) in the tariqa that I have joined. However I am not a female.

The tariqa stresses on the shariat and love for the other fuqara…you can probably find more info by googling for Tariqa Qadriya Boutchichi. The Shaykh, Shaykh Hamza Al boutchichi is from North Africa (Morocco) and considered to be a living master!

Hope this helps!
