On the Necessity of Bay'ah to a Competent Shaykh
And avoiding debates with the ignorant
From Imam Abu Hamid Muhammad al Ghazali’s
Yaa Ayyuhal Walad (O by Beloved Son)
Now let’s return to our explanation and I will tell you the internal (inward) conditions for the student and seeker on the Path of Allahu ta ‘ala.
The fifth condition that is obligatory on the seeker on the Path of Allah, the Exalted, is that he/she should have a Shaykh al-Kamil (the perfected spiritual guide) who guides him/her and removes evil qualities [and morals] from the seeker and replaces them with noble qualities [and morals]. The example of [Shaykh’s spiritual] training is just like that of a farmer who when looking after a crop sees the unnecessary grass that emerged, pulls them out of the crop. Likewise, whatever weeds that pop up in the farm, he (i.e. the farmer) uproots them from the crop and throws them away. Then the farmer puts water and fertilizers in the crop so that the crop grows [better] and develops a good quality. Likewise, in every condition, the traveler on the Path of Allah has no cure or solution but to have a Murshid al-Kamil (a true Shaykh or a perfected spiritual guide). Because, Allah, the Exalted, has sent Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to His slaves (human beings) so that he proves to be an illuminated proof (guide) in the Way of Allah and so that he brings people to the Way of Allah, the Exalted. When the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed from this world, he appointed his deputies and caliphs in his place so that they become a proof (Daleel) of the Way of Allah, the Exalted, until the Day of Judgment.
