Question:
I am 65 yr and recently became a mureed my heart is becomming literally hot, as if its a burning coal and when i do dhikr it gets hotter and hotter. It is becoming painful to do dhikr.
My daily routine is pray 5 times daily per Naqsh prayer book, In Tahajjud i read 1/2 juz/para quran, dalal Khayrat, Qasida Ghousia & Rasool, salat tasbih and salam ala rasool, Khatm Khwajgan, Hizb ul Bahr and started memorizing 30th para.
I am reading Nuffus, now im in 5th part ‘Ya Hayyu’. Can i get ijaaza to continue this. Please pray for me and instruct me on xtreme heat while dhikr and for better memory. Jazakallah
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You are doing too much for an initiate in tariqah, unless you were already practicing these prior to baya`. Reduce your practice to only what is in the Naqshband Awrad book until Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani assigns further awrad.
