Durood Sharif/Salawat

Question:

As- Salaam wa Alakum,

i wanted to know if reading the durood or salawat in English had the same blessing as reading in arabic?

Answer:

Wa`alaykumussalam,

Reading it in English may help you understand it better. Reading it in Arabic brings all the immense benefits no other tongue can emulate.

Please guide me

Question:

Asalamu alaykum wr. wb.

My Shaykh, I’m a 2_ year old under an enormous debt, and living illegally in a country I was born in. I don’t have a job and no future. things have been getting worse since I was 12 years old, and now I have become weary inside.

I tried to get married and migrate, because I saw a pious woman following Grand shaykh Q.S. After praying to Allah to change my status quo and help me complete half my deen. Yet, I have failed because I’m a destitute.

My heart tells me abandon everything and go do zikrullah in some obscure place. I was told, if I go without permission, I’ll always be with my ego, and this is why I beg you for permission. Dunya has rejected me, and I wish to reject her back.

JazakAllah Khair,
Asalamu Alaykum wr. wb.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Do not abandon but try again. There are far more destitute people that would be happy and honored to marry. Keep struggling where Allah Most High placed you and do not seek for dunya not to reject you but for Allah and His Prophet to accept you. Then everything will fulfill you insha-Allah.

Naming a baby

Question:

As-salaam a laykum,
Please could you advise me on whether it is okay to have the name Jibrail as i have been informed that it is not recommended due to this angel having the high status he has, therefore it would be difficult for a person to carry this name. My daughter is pregnant and is considering this name for her son Inshallah.
Shkran

Answer:

wa`alaykum salam,
Please refer to the post Naming Children after Angels.

Adab, Permission to Travel

Question:

Asalkium dear eshaykh staff may ALLAH shower you all with on going mercy inshALLAH.

About a month ago I became the mureed of sheik Nazim may ALLAH give him ongoing happiness in this life and the hereafter inshALLAH.

I don’t understand the whole aspect of asking permission to travel,could you please explain it to me further.I want to go back home to Australia,I left my job,and everything to come to Denmark to stay with my husband .I am not getting residency here and I don’t want to live here,but my father in law is always getting involved,I told him I was only coming for one year and he tried to make me stay here for four years,it really upsets me, all I am doing is staying at home everyday. It gets really stressing.Do I have permission to go back home to start my life InshALLAH with my husband.

Walkium salam

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Permission is a consultation which allows the murid to check whether one’s spiritual and material sustenance will be facilitated by the move or, on the contrary, hampered. In your case it is best to be at your husband’s side whether in Denmark or Australia.

Advice from sheikh Gibril Haddad

Request:

Assalamu’alaykum sheikh.
My name is [private] and I’m from [private]. I don’t know if you remember me but i cannot forget you. Dear sheikh Gibril, I’m in great need of your help.. My mind is very troubled at the moment. We were studying Surah Al Munafiqoun with [private] and there is a verse saying that Allah SWT will never ever forgive them. This troubled me a lot… I even spoke to [private]. in the past I happened to say some things about our beloved Prophet SAW, but now I really regret it. My mind is very troubled and O don’t know what to do. I may have said it due to ignorance. I don’t know sheikh. please please help me…

Response:

Alaykum Salam,
Allah Most High forgives everything if one repents. Just make fresh
istighfar every time you recall your past offence, without need to
mention the exact nature of that offence to anyone. Make lots of Salawat
on Prophet daily. Even would-be assassins of Prophet (upon him blessings
and peace) became Awliya through his dua.

Please give me any wazifa to leave this bad habbit and to get rid of evil thoughts and also to burn black magic or jinn..( I have done istikharas many times to know but I did not see result)

Response:

`Alaykum Salam,

Addiction never goes away but power to resist can be built up and reduce it. Take bayaa with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) online if not already, wear his tawiz, remove internet from your room if that is the case, recite the daily wazifa for beginners from Naqshbandi.org, join a circle of dhikr in your area, make niyya to get married and ask for a good life from Allah Most High.

Prayer Request: Disobedient Children

Request:

salamu alaykum wa rahmatulah ya shaykh,

I’m really in need of a prayer dua. I have disobeying sons [private] and [private], teenagers. I am a single mother and they beat me if i don’t give them something like game or something dunyawiyyah. They pray, alhamdulilah,  but that’s it ! I’m tired and I  need special dua please tell me what dua is the best because I read online many dua for disobeying children. What should I  do so they can love me and obey me? allahumma salli 3ala mohammed ya rabb.allahumma nsurni min awladi laa yuti3uni abada.

Response:

Alaykum Salam,

Do not let them beat you ever. Inform them that the curses of Allah and His angels are on the heads of those who beat their parents. If you love them get married at once and bring back the fear of Allah into their hearts or they will have a disastrous end. Recite “Ya Fattah, Ya Hafiyy” x100 every morning.

One Shaykh Recommended not reading Qur’an

Question:

As-salamu `alaykum Mawlana Shaykh Hisham and TEAM:
One sister attending my dhikr circle went to a Sudanese Shaykh located at Imam Hussein Mosque. He told her to stop attending Qur’an tajweed class and stop reading Qur’an for a while and read only Fatihah 1001 times or something like that and then later go back to reading Qur’an. And he justified this by saying that Jinn are resisting her Qur’an reading. This is very confusing for me to hear. Please advice. May Allah bless you.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
It is okay to recite 1001 Fatiha as a cleansing but as for saying that the Jinn resist the Qur’an then no, because Allah Most High said in Surat al-Jinn that they declared hearing a wondrous Qur’an that led to guidance, so how can they resist it?

Dream: Friend’s dreamed about Istakhara

Dream:

Salaam,
MSH and the eshaykh team. I  told my friend to do istikhara on my behalf in order to find if this girl is good for me… he told in the dream I  also asked him to do istikara for him and he said OK. When I saw him in his dream I asked him if I’m getting married and he said to me you getting married and my reaction was happy in his dream.

Now I need help in a way to tell the girl this without scaring her away…also I haven’t asked a girl out in my life, let alone ask a girl for marriage, this will be my first time. I don’t have a clue how I’m going to explain this to her and also why I’m scared how she will react.

Interpretation:

Alaykum Salam,
Have your parents or elders speak with her parents or elders.
