 - Doctrinal Study -

الحمد لله وحده، والصلاة والسلام على من لا نبي بعده، وبعد: فهذا البحث الموسوم بـ(الخَلْوة التعبدية عند أهل السنة: دراسة عقدية) يهدف إلى: بيان معنى الخَلْوة التعبدية عند أهل السنة، وبيان الأدلة على مشروعيتها، مع ذكر ضوابطها عند أهل السنة، وبيان آثارها على العبد المسلم، وبيان موقف النصارى والصوفية من الخَلْوة التعبدية.        

ومنهجي في هذا البحث هو: المنهج الاستقرائي التحليلي.

وخرج هذا البحث بالعديد من النتائج المهمة، ومنها: أن الخَلْوة لا تعني العزلة عن الناس، وترك مخالطتهم، وعدم الصبر على أذاهم. وكذلك: دلت سنة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وآثار السلف رحمهم الله على مشروعية الخَلْوة التعبدبة. وأيضاً: للخَلْوة التعبدية ضوابط عند أهل السنة ينبغي للمسلم عند خَلْوته العمل بها؛ حتى تكون خَلْوته على منهج الكتاب والسنة. وكذلك: للخَلْوة التعبدية آثار على العبد المسلم. ومن النتائج: ضلت النصارى والصوفية في الخَلْوة التعبدية. كما أنه من النتائج المهمة: تغلغل الفكر النصراني في الخَلْوة التعبدية عند الصوفية، وكان أثره بارزاً. إلى غير ذلك من النتائج.

   ومن أهم التوصيات التي يراها الباحث: القيام بدراسة تبين العلاقة بين مصطلح الخَلْوة والاعتكاف والعزلة. والقيام بدراسة أخرى عن الأثر النصراني في الخَلْوة.

الكلمات المفتاحية: (الخَلْوة التعبدية، أهل السُّنة، الصوفية).

Praise be to Allah alone, and prayers and peace be upon His messenger.

This doctrinal study, titled "Devotional Seclusion among Sunnis," seeks to achieve the following objectives: elucidate the concept of devotional seclusion within Sunni Islam, clarify the supporting evidence for its legitimacy, outline the prescribed guidelines as per Sunni tradition, explore its impact on Muslim practitioners, and delineate the perspectives of Christians and Sufis regarding devotional seclusion.

Methodology: the inductive and analytical method.

The findings of this study highlight that solitude does not imply complete isolation from people or a rejection of social interactions, including patience in the face of potential harm. Additionally, the legitimacy of devotional seclusion is supported by both the Sunnah of the Messenger and the practices of the early predecessors. Furthermore, it is emphasized that devotional seclusion, as per Sunni guidelines, comes with specific regulations that a Muslim must observe while alone. This ensures that the seclusion aligns with the principles outlined in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Additionally, the research reveals the impact of devotional seclusion on the Muslim practitioner. Notably, the findings indicate that Christians and Sufis have deviated in their approach to devotional seclusion.

One of the key recommendations highlighted by the researcher is the need to conduct a study elucidating the relationship between the term's seclusion, i'tikaf, and isolation. Another important suggestion is to undertake a separate study to explore the impact of Christian.
