Tawajjuh
Question
I know that Sufis practise Tawajjuh on their mureeds so that they become more inclined towards practising on Deen. How do they practise it? Is it also allowed for a "basic" Muslim to do Tawajjuh so that some Muslims become more inclined towards Deen or some kaafirs also become inclined towards Islam? If yes, what is the method of Tawajjuh?
Answer
This is a type of du`aa.
To make du`aa is permissible. What is wrong in du`aa.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
Q: I definitely know that this is a type of du'aa. Hence there is nothing wrong in it. However, can you teach a simple method of doing this special du'aa? Like Istikharah, it is also a type of du'aa but a procedure has to be followed. What is the procedure of making Tawajjuh?
A: My suggestion is that you do not get involved in this. It is something that some people train in. For any type of training you need to be under the supervision of an instructor. Hence, I suggest that you do not pay attention to this. Just do the du`aas that you are familiar with. This is even more effective than tawajjuh, provided it is done with heart and soul.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
