To teach or explain a point. In Tasawwuf, Talqin is used when the Shaykh or Murshid says something and the murid repeats it back to him. This may be used when one enters Islam at the hand of the Shaykh or when entering upon the Path of Allah during baya'h. This practice involves a transmission of spiritual energy or barakah and can activate certain spiritual work for the murid as well. In general usage, Talqin is also used at the burial of a muslim. One person stays behind to remind them and to help them with the answers to the questions - 'Who is your Lord? Who is your Prophet? and What is your religion'. This is called 'Talqin al Mayyit', instructing the dead.
