Adab of Ijazah

Question:

Salaam O Alaykum wr wb Most Respected Awliya.

If a mureed of Sultan ul Awliya Mawlana Saydi Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Al Haqqani receives Ijaza from another Shaykh in Islamic sciences [i.e. Fiqh] and would now like to teach theses sciences, what is the adab the mureed would use? Would the mureed ask Sultan ul Awliya Mawlana Saydi Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Al Haqqani for Ijaza to teach?

JazakAllah Khayran
Ma’Salaama

Answer:

`alaykum salam

Receiving ijaza in Fiqh is an opening for which a murid should thank Allah, invoke blessings on the Prophet, and persevere in his connection with and love for Mawlana so that the light of his guidance will shine in the sciences that the murid tries to put into practice. The murid should not ask Mawlana for ijaza to teach but assume that permission is already given for him. However, he should imagine himself under Mawlana’s gaze as he teaches and he should rely on Allah Most High and ask for right guidance and true inspiration.
