Question:
Aslamualaykum Wr Wb, may my salams reach all respected shaykhs, especially Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani, may Allah Swt grant him a long life and give him from my life, all of it.
1) Since we are not with out shaykh physically, how do we know that we need to enter into a seclusion? How will we find out?
2) What is the proper adab when hearing the prophet s.a.w’s name, when to stand and how many times? for example if there is a sohbat being watched and the name is repeated 10-15+ times, what is the proper adab?
JazakAllahkhair. Asalamulaykum
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Entering seclusion is really only effective on the physical order of the shaykh, though a spiritual ishara (indication) if strong, maybe also sufficient.
Stand when Mawlana stands.
