Answered by Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz (may Allah protect him and benefit us by him).
How do we seek spiritual assistance from the Ba Alawi Imams?
We do this by loving and revering them for the sake of Allah, regularly reciting some of the Qur’an or some adhkar and donating the reward to them, reading their biographies and sharing what you have read with your family.
Your portion of assistance depends on how truthful you are, the greatness of your perception and the degree to which you emulate them.
