CASE STUDY: SHAIKH MIR ASEDULLAH QUADRI
The CIFIA claim to be, ‘the largest Islamic association of Sahih Imam on earth.’ The website is based on Shaykh Mir Asedullah Quadri, whose lineage can be traced backed to the Qadriyya tariqa. The website states the Shaykh’s mission quite clearly, to reform people through sufi spirituality, one of which is baya. One can give baya to Shaykh Quadri by following instructions online:
And it’s as easy as this….
“CONGRATULATIONS
YOU HAVE JOINED
SILSILA-E-AALIYA QUADRIYYA ASADIYYA”
The process itself is very similar to that of the Naqshbandi’s. Perhaps the only further benefit of giving baya with Shaykh Quadri is that, specific ‘training for mureeds’ is also provided. The website goes through a great deal in explaining the essence of baya, followers are also able to contact the shaykh via email, which is encouraging to know that help it as hand whenever guidance is needed.
Aside from our case studies, to conclude, the ultimate spiritual concern lies in the hands of the believer….
Attaining true spirituality online is determined and driven by intention alone. Baya itself is a profound notion that requires commitment and dedication. So in theory, if someone did give baya online, whether it was to Shaykh Nazim or Shaykh Quadri, as long the disciple is genuine and committed in his/her approach the baya will be accepted in the eyes of God.
