THE REQUIREMENTS OF KHALWAT

Inshallah Rajab starts tomorrow after Asr, at night. As you know, Inshallah we will be doing seclusion (khalwat) in Rajab this year. Many people are asking, “What will we do?” because there is a partial khalwat and anybody who wishes to may do it. The intention will be the same after all: for the sake of Allah, for the Prophet (SAW), and to train our ego. You need to make intention to obey the orders of Allah for forty days, in seclusion and away from people. Our Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “Wisdom springs open in the hearts of people who hold their heart in sincerity for forty days.” May it be goodness (khair) for us all Inshallah.
