Permission to work

Question:

Assalamo Alaikum Warahmatullah

When I got married about a few years ago Mowlana told my husband that he cant let me work and Alhamdolilah we have managed to get by, but as the economy begins to weaken and the threat of recession hovering, and the increased rise in the cost of living etc, I was wondering if I would be allowed to work from home to support my husband, our intentions is to make food from home which would be delivered by my husband for party’s, functions or to customers in general, if there is permission can we also have blessings from MSH for this. JazakAllah.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

Yes, InshaAllah. There is permission granted.

Dream: Getting Married

Dream:

Assalamaleikum,

1) Hurriedly being dressed for marriage by unknown woman. Wearing 3 layers: Black every day d ess, white bridal dress, and beautiful red & gold embroidered dress, slightly tight. In front is a stand with the contract. Groom wearing black opens door walks towards me, looking very dark faced, thin and shorter.

2) I kissed him passionately on lips in front of my shocked dad. Dad asked what I was doing, I replied we’ll get married later.

3) He is driver, me back passenger. He extends his arm, I caress/kiss it. I reach forward hugging him, kiss him on cheek. I feel he misses me. I sense leaking menses, we stop for public toilets. Entering cubicle, wet floor, no hanger so I bring trolley inside, don’t close door totally. Thinking he has someone else. Hearing him talking to unknown men. Thinking he’ll travel somewhere far for 3 weeks and we’ll be together again.

Will we get married? What’s significance of 3?
JazzakumAllahuKhairan

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 from normal life (represented by the black dress ) to be a fiance (the white dress) to a bride (the red dress). You are going to be a great benefit for the groom, represented by you kissing him. The groom is rich (black dress) and going to live short life (short and thin) compared to your life, so marry him quickly. The taxi represents his devotion to serve people and the speed of his life.

And Allah knows best.

Dream: Covered in cloth

Dream:

Salaams,

Trying to escape from a harassing woman I go to the balcony of the house. People lying on the floor, all wrapped up in clothes. My feet touch a dog. I lie down and cover from head to toe with a cloth. The woman kneels next to me. I feel hidden from her.

Enter the bathroom to use it and turn the lights on but the lights don’t work and it’s dark.

Next, in a gathering of men, order comes (from Mawlana Shaikh Nazim), “Take black flag and go to the masjid to perform your Eid prayers.” We start walking towards the masjid. Black flag is hoisted. Then someone places the flag on my back. At the entrance of the masjid my father says to me in Urdu “Do not unveil your face in the open markets.” I start crying.

PS: Dad passed away a year ago

Interpretation:

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

wa `alaykum salam,
This dream can mean that a woman is giving you advice in a harsh way. The dog can be a man who is after you to benefit from your job (feet). Your flag shows that you want men to admire you and your father is warning you not to attract men. The flag in the back means you are not aware of the attraction.

And Allah knows best.

Oral sex

Question:

Salaam..Please forgive me for bad Adab regarding the question below. I have tried to research on the permissibility of oral sex with my wife. However I have seen mixed reviews. If for the pleasure of my partner we performed oral sex on each other and avoided any fluid entering the mouth, is this act permissible then? I see from some sites that ss long as any discharge doesn’t enter the mouth it is OK? This act would only be done to please my partner and she has requested it. General love making is not enough and wanted to know if this is  something we can do as a married couple as long as we refrain from any semen entering the mouth or any other fluids? Please accept my apologies for asking such a question, I felt the need to ask. Jazakallah

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,
The basic ruling is licitness from head to toe except for anal intercourse, and also except genital intercourse at the time of menses, all provided harm is avoided, as spelled out in the Reliance of the Traveller m5. See here.

Dream: Animals attacking

Question:

Salaam,
Recently whilst I was sleeping my dream (which I couldn’t remember) was invaded by a white lion and brown bear trying to attack me. They came so close to me so quickly I screamed “Sheikh Nazim Sheikh Hisham” and they backed off me and disappeared. Please can you tell me what this means and what the animals stand for. JAZAKALLAH.

Answer:

Salam `alaykum.
They represent dunya justice and authority so the dream is admonitory (warning) to put your affairs in order or protect yourself, and your connection to Mawlana and his khalifa helps to do that.

Recovering from Pain of Sins

Question:

Asalaamoaleikum ,

How does one heal the heavy stains of sins from their heart?
For indeed the stains + disbelief leaves one feeling shattered and devastated as one forsakes his faith .

Shaytan gave us false promises and then he ran away…
The sins still have such a heavy impact on the heart – how does one heal themselves?

Jazakallah Khayr

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

Every morning recite x100 Subhan Allah wa bi hamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim,  Astaghfirullah; then x100 Astaghfirullah al-Azim wa atubu ilayh. Trust in Allah’s forgiveness which reduces our sins to a speck of dust that is swept away.
Recite Salawat x300 minimum daily.

I have a problem, I am addicted of a bad habit (misuse of internet) and I am very ashamed. I do not want any gunnah but once in a week there come a strange dream which create darkness in my heart. Some Islamic exorcist say there is black magic on me and some say it is jinn that is causing problem. I never find answer in dream(istikhara).
a person advised me to increase spiritual power to do istikhara and get rid of evil, but I do not know how to ?
I can not do fasting as i am weak..

  2. Is daily awrad enough to increase spiritual power?
  3. How I shall know my spiritual power is enough to start?

Answer:

`Alaykum Salam,

Continue with the awrad in sha Allah it will get better. Try to eat halal food and try to prepare for marriage earnestly.
