Question:
Salam,
You said in another post that “Grandshaykh’s … said that there are many types of khalwah (seclusion). If you train yourself not to drink any water, there is a special khalwah that with awrad you can live without water. If you accomplish that you can live without food or water as you take energy directly from Allah (swt)…”
Can you teach me this?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Tariqah is a step-by-step process under the guidance of a living shaykh, it is not a magic formula.
I advice myself and you, if you like, to begin on the path to Allah swt, (not the path to fulfilling our desires) by becoming consistent in the daily awrad. Then let us see what the Shaykh will order us to do, not what we wish the shaykh will do, for he knows far better what we are in need of.
