Assalamu 'Aleykum
Dear brothers,
I'm new to the Tariqa Tijaniyya and I fear I broke the pact with my shaykh.
Before going to renew the pact, or asking my shaykh if what happened really broke the pact, i would ask you the same question.
Is possible that a murmur which says literally "I don't believe", but which has no real counterpart in the heart, brokes the love between the murid an the Shaykh (rAa)?
Once you take the Tariqah you are mureed of Shaykh Ahmad Tijani (RA) and nothing or no one can break it.
Shaykhs and Muqaddams are like Fathers, no matter how bad the child is they always forgive.
Besides it depends on your intention, if nothing bad intended it happened unintentionally then its ok.. otherwise pray two rakahs of salatul tawbah and ask Allah for forgiveness. if this even doesnt satisfy you then you can go on and renew the Tariqah with the Ijaza of your Shaykh.
hope this helps
wassalaam

I'll do what you suggest. It happened unintentionally, while i was invoking the presence of our beloved Shaykh(rAa) and praising His high station.
May Allah prevent all of us from interrupting the love for Allah (swt) for Sayydina Muhammad (sAaws) and Sidi Ahmad Tijani (rAa).
Dear brother Talib,
jazaka Allah for your suggestion. I'll listen only to my brothers and shaykh. May Allah guide us to His Right Path, following His Noble Beloved (asws) and the Perfect Inheritor (rAa).
