Dhikr and arousal
Question:
This is embarrassing but it’s been happening for years; when I do certain dhikr I get very aroused in my private parts; I’m worried I have an aashiq jinn or is it more someone thing to do with energy points. Please help; its making it hard for me to dhikr.
Answer:
Imam Ghazali said nothing is more common. Mawlana Shaykh Hisham said shaytan only tries to steal something valuable. So you must be doing something right all these years.
Change your dhikr when that state tries to monopolize your mind. Make istighfar, hawqala, duaa, Salawat. Count your blessings and give shukr. Tell your nafs to be quiet and let you finish. Do not capitulate and do not let it lead you by the nose.
