Question:
Asalamu alaykum
I want to ask you that if a Sheikh/pious person instructs you to do a chilla does this mean that they know that you are capable of doing it.
To attain peace of mind and soul/be calm and unfraid what should one recite.
Jazak Allah.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
A qualified shaykh supports the murid spiritually. It is not a function of the murid’s own capability but rather of his sincerity and also of what is needed for him in the way of spiritual progress.
