Question
What is the meaning of taufeeq? The Ulama use this term much.
Answer
Taufeeq is a spiritual ability which is a bounty bestowed by Allah Ta'ala. It is spiritual enthusiasm to engage in ibaadat and virtue. It makes ibaadat pleasurable. A kind of buoyancy is created in the heart. At times taufeeq is without the extra ni'mat of pleasure. Nevertheless, it instils in one an intellectual determination which vigorously subdues the nafs and enables one to act for the Sake of Allah Ta'ala.
