Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani(q)His Seclusions Shaykh Nazim's first seclusion by the order of Shaykh 'Abdullah Daghestani was in the year 1955, in Sueileh, Jordan. There he spent six months in seclusion. There he attracted thousands and thousands of disciples, so that Sueileh and it surrounding villages, Ramta and 'Amman were full of the disciples of the shaykh. Scholars, officials and so many people were attracted to his light and his personality. When he had only two children, one daughter and one son, he was called by our Grandhaykh Shaykh Abdullah ad-Daghestani, to meet him. He told him, "I have received an order from the Prophet (s) for you to make seclusion in the mosque of 'Abdul Qadir Jilani in Baghdad. You go there and make seclusion for six months." After difficult circumstances of leaving his family and travelling to Baghdad, Shaykh Nazim arrived at the mosque of Sayiddina Abdul Qadir Jilani. Of his seclusion there he relates: "I only emerged from my room for the five prayers. Other than that I spent my whole time in that room. I was able to reach such a state that I was reciting the whole Qur'an in nine hours. In addition to that I was reciting 124,000 times the dhikr 'laa ilaha ill-Allah' and 124,000 prayers on the Prophet (s) (salawat) and I was reading the entire Dalail al-Khayrat [book of devotions]. Added to that I was regularly reciting 313,000 'Allah Allah' every day, in addition to all the prayers that were assigned to me. Vision after vision was appearing to me every day. They used to take me from one state to another and give me a state of complete Annihilation in the Divine Presence."

And it is against the teachings of the prophet who said what means: Do not travel but to three Masjids, Haram in Makkah, my masjid (Madinah) and the Aqsa Masjid
