Scholars who support the practice argue that just as a newborn is instructed via the Adhan (call to prayer) upon entering the world, the deceased is instructed via Talqin upon exiting it. It acts as a final reminder of the covenant made with Allah.
The process of Talqin typically begins with the seeker approaching the Shaykh with a genuine desire to embark on a spiritual path. The Shaykh, after assessing the seeker's sincerity and readiness, may initiate the process by offering spiritual guidance, prayers, and blessings. The seeker, in turn, commits to following the Shaykh's guidance, which may involve daily spiritual practices, such as meditation, contemplation, and study of sacred texts.
There is a divergence of opinion regarding the validity of Talqin , primarily between the Hanafi school and the Shafi’i school.
