Question:
Asalam o alaykom wr wb Mawlana!
we are thankful to Allah (swt) for giving us such a blessed guides, without them we would have been lost…
In my prayers when I fold my hands, with my right fingers I hold the left hand vein n then I can hear my Heart beat n start ‘silent Zikr‘ and also I sometimes feel the presence of MSN just above or infront of me in my prayers n nowadays when i’m in the prayer I close my eyes n see RawzatulNabi infront of me n my qs is that even when i go to prostrations Mawlana or/& the sacred Tomb of RasulAllah (saw) is infront of me so I’m afraid whether my prayer is valid or not even thou i’m facing BaytulAllah but I my Qibla is Madina…
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Would your salat be valid if you had a photo of the Rawdah, (`ala sakiniha afdal as-salat wa’s-salam), in front of you? Innama al-`amalu bi ‘n-niyyat – verily actions are by intentions. You are not responsible for what they show you.
From the higher level of understanding, who taught us about Ka`ba and who brought us salat? As Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani oftens asks, “remove the walls of the Ka`bah, and who or what are you facing?”
