Beware of Shaykh Ahamd Dabbagh of Bolton UK
Unfortunately i have to give a warning about this shaykh. Although he seems very knowledgable and englitghtened, unfotunately he has no living Shaykhs and so he believes that dead shaykhs only have been guiding him and teaching him. It is possible that dead shaykhs can teach living people (eg shaykh Ahmad Alharoon of Syria was taught by shaykh ibn Arabi) but they are very special people, eg they have karamat and scholars would visit them and be impressed by their knowledge. But with this shaykh he also believes he is the top Saint (Wali) and so thinks he is unique etc, so he is a loner i believe. So beware. His mureeds are a bit weird too. I went to their mosque (madina masjid in Bolton, uk) and they basically just want you to join them if you already have a shaykh and are on a tareeqa. Very weird behaviour. This means that although he may have good knowledge that he isnt ready to teach and train mureeds. Hence his mureeds are not v good mannered etc. This video about his legacy (...
