Assalamu Alaikum
The science of Islamic Spirituality (Tasawwuf) is focused on how to diagnose and cure the diseases of the heart. Due to its immense importance, the scholars of Islam went to great lengths to put together different adhkar from Qur'an and Hadith that would enable people to purify their hearts. The various scholars and mashaykh would place emphasis on certain types of dhikr. In this series, Shaykh Tauqeer explains one particular method of purification that is comprised of "Six Essentials".
1. Wuquf Al-Qalbi
2. Istighfar
3. Salwaat
4. Recitation of Qur'an
5. Muraqabah (Reflection)
6. Rabita
As we know, sin is often committed when one is in a state of heedlessness. How else would a person have the courage to sin when they are all alone in their rooms with only Allah watching. The root problem here is heedlessness. In order to leave sin we must create this awareness in our heart, that Allah is watching us. The benefits of attaining such a state or at least struggling to attain such a state is not limited to only leaving sin. Imagine the comfort of knowing that at the darkest of times and at the lowest of moments that one always has a friend to turn to.
In the first video in the series, Shaykh Tauqeer Chaudhary explains to us about Wuquf Al-Qalbi which is one of the key concepts of the Naqshbandi Mujaddidi tariqah. The purpose of Wuquf Al-Qalbi is to train an individual heart to be constantly in the remembrance of Allah. Though this state is not attained overnight, it is definitely something we all need to strive to attain.
