Dream: Making Adhan

Question:

Assalamwalailkum,
Please help me with the interpretation .. Few days ago I had a dream that I started giving azaan, but suddenly I could not complete the azaan because I forgot the verses of the azaan so a friend was standing near me and I told him that ” I will not give the azaan as I don’t know the subsequent verses of it “. Please tell me .. khudahafiz.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
It is a reminder from your own soul for you to raise adhan at home and
when praying alone, not to leave it and the other sunnas of Salat out,
as you will be rewarded for fulfilling them, here and hereafter.

Namaz and a sunnah of hazrat abu bakar R.A

Question:

In Pakistan people stand up for jamat namaz after the moazin says hayya alas salah some say this a sunnah. I have also heard that its a sunnah to stand immediately on Allah o Akbar as soon as the ikamat starts please clear the confusion in the light of sahi ahadith. Also in Pakistan people kiss their thumb and put it on their eyes when they hear the Prophet’s sallalahoalaihewasallam name I saw a video of shaykh Hisham in which he said hazrat Abu Bakar R.A did this practice. please clear this in the light of sahi ahadith as some say this is a new practice and has no roots in deen.

Jazak Allah khair may Allah subhanawata’ala give you people specially shaykh hisham a long life and grant you with the bounties of both the worlds. Please ask shaykh Hisham to visit Karachi Pakistan.

Answer:

Exact time of standing in iqama is not finalized in textual evidence but
is a matter of ijtihad; therefore both positions are valid but
preference goes to hayya `ala as-salat or when the imam is already
standing either at your row’s level or ahead of you. As for kissing
thumbs see here.

Continuation, Riba question…

Question:

Assalam o Alaykum,

Thanks for answering my question. I think I have not made my question clear to you. I wanted to ask, how to stay safe from these cheaters who are fooling us in the name of Islamic Banking, when we know that there is no concept of Profit in Lending in Islam, when they ask us to cut 6% profit on lending, means they are charging interest in disguise, but innocent Muslims don’t realize this. How shall we protect ourselves from this, specially our family members who are unknowingly involved in this kind of interest bearing loans from Islamic banks.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

The Prophet (s) said:
Man ghashshanaa falaysa minnaa.
Who cheats us is not one of us! (Hadith)

Intuitive Therapeutic Massage

Question:

Assalamu Alaykum,

I went for a massage recently not realizing it was an intuitive massage, something I hadn’t heard of until then.

The therapist is able to sense the stress in the body as well as “talk” to the body via intuitive means, concentrating on certain parts of the body. After the session I was told that I was on a spiritual journey, seeking something but I wasn’t connecting with my soul, that I had a spiritual journey to fulfill and that my soul feels it wants to be around nature. She felt that my coming to her was not coincidence and that she could help me get to the spiritual place that I want to be.

This woman is not Muslim, but most of what she said was pretty accurate as I am on a spiritual journey and seeking…

Does Islam view this practice as acceptable?

Shukran.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

Most everyone is on a spiritual journey and loves nature. It is best for the person who lays hands on another not only to be Muslim but also to have wudu’. Short of that at least it is okay if the person has a good and gentle soul; but leave the spiritual guidance to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret)!

Prayer Request: Dua for our Nikkah

Request:

Assalamualaikum Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, Alhamdulilah with Allah’s blessing I have gotten to know a sister whom InshaAllah I would like to get married to. I was attracted to her modesty and faith in Islam. And the sister feels the same way about me (Alhamdulilah). However mutually we have decided to inform our parents and have the Nikkah in two years InshaAllah due to age. We converse through text and phone conversations. We do not engage in meeting at public places nor is there any form of physical engagement between us. Mawlana Shaykh Hisham, please ask dua for us to stay away from any sin, to continue on the righteous path and InshaAllah for us to have the Nikkah as we agreed upon even though it is a longtime to wait. InshaAllah with your blessings we will be able to fulfill our imaan and our nikkah. Wasalam

Response:

Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you.

Dua and Zikr for Repentence

Question:

Assalamu Alaikum,
Dear Mawlana,
I have taken bayat online, inshaAllah I would like to know if my bayat has been accepted.

Also mawlana, over the past years I have committed countless sins and hurt people, I have continued to ask repentance from Allah and sadly have committed them again. However I have noticed that I have reduced it greatly and would like to reduce it further. Please provide me with zikr which I can pray daily to ask for repentance inshaAllah.

And Mawlana please ask dua for me to forgive all my past sins and to continue on the righteous path inshaAllah.

Wasalam.

Answer:

Wa`alaykumussalam,

Alhamdulillah, you have made bay’ah to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. We always advise that to keep with pious company, never miss the five daily prayers, keep doing the daily dhikr, make Salawat upon Prophet (s.a.w.), do good deeds whether with your wealth or energy. And do not ever speak of your past sins – forget about them and move on. Allah Almighty is the Merciful, the Forgiver, and He observes us, so keep this in mind.

Dream: Kids Falling

Dream:

In my dream, I saw my 4 children bouncing against railings on the 2nd floor when suddenly, the railing gave way and they fell to the first floor. One by one, they got up after falling but when my second son fell, he fell flat on his front, there was a loud thud and he did not get up. I ran downstairs and held him and slowly he opened his eyes. I woke up.
Dear sheikh. recently my husband was afflicted by sihr and we are slowly recovering. Alhamdulillah, we found out it was his family and his employee who did it to us. I am worried when I have dreams affecting the kids. Can you please interpret for us and what we should do.
Syukran.

Interpretation:

a`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem:

This dream can mean that the railings are the teachings for your four children, and the father should stay firm in raising the four children on the Shari`ah. You are a good back up for the father represented by holding the one that fell in your arms.

And Allah knows best.

Dream: Bedbugs

Dream:

Asalaam alaikum wr wb dear eshaykh
This is about my brother who is entering high school. He was a good student but for the past few years his grades have gone very low and sleeps a lot,too.

I dreamt I’m at my friend’s place which is somewhere is London or Singapore (she lives in pak). She tells me he is cursed and I question her she says, I mean someone has evil eye on him and I reply, oh yea, we know whose done it ( I see my aunt).  I ask her for remedy and she says, take the bedbugs and burn them ( I imagine taking them in a container and putting it near the light on the ceiling) then she says, oh, but there are no bedbugs in England. I  look at her questioningly and the dream end.
Thank you so much for your help and guidance

Interpretation:

This dream can mean that bedbugs are girls that sleeps around, and your brother may be in the age of wanting to sleep with them. You need to inspire him to know that girls like to see a successful man before they marry and that doing good in school can get him a degree or a trade that can attract to him the bride he wish to have.

And Allah knows best.

Dream: A card from Mawlana

Dream:

Assalamalikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakathuhu. May Allah give mawlana sheikh nazim al Haqqani long life Ameen. Allahuma salle ala muhammadin wa ala ali muhammadin wassalim. La ilaha illallah muhammadun rasulallah. I dreamt that I went to a cash machine and put my card in, then I left to get a baby that I saw alone and when I came straight back there was a different credit card in the machine and I took it out and looked around if it belonged to anyone. It said a very very large amount of money on it. When i turned it around it said Mawlana says; then the amount in figures, travel and marriage on it. I’m not sure what this means and if there is anything that Mawlana wants me to do please let me know and give my love to Mawlana please.

Interpretation:

a`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem:

wa `alaykum salam,
This dream can mean that you are going or you are investing money in something represented by the baby, then you will succeed by the Barakah of Mawlana in traveling and getting married.

And Allah knows best.
