Question:
Assalamu Aleykom Mawlana Sheikh Hisham.
As always people of wisdom said ” follow your heart ,heard never lies”.I have been learning from Mawlana and you. And am practicing very strongly and for several moths i have come to somth that i am yearning and wishing very strongly to do seclution with the nia of burding my nafs(self) and see how much i may carry. this is what my heart is yearning for. every time i fear of seclution someone ( i believe this is my sheikh) is coming and teaching what to say agains what is scaring me in my mind then i became strong and step on them .But i am so happy with that intention. “there is no easy way , life is short, worldly affairs never end,don’t fear ,don’t fear”.this is also what coming to my heart. Please ya Sayidi Advise me more about seclution .
