Dream: Spinning

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Assalaamu alaykum wrwb May Allah swt bless Prophet SAW and bless our beloved MSN and MSH with a long life. In the dream i was going to visit Maulana. When we reach there we are taken through a secret passage which nobody knows to see Maulana. We descend a very wide staircase with red carpet which continues until we reach the bottom. We then have to ascend another complete set of many stairs of the same nature. I ask why, somebody says with each step Maulana’s memory increases. As im about to ascend the second set of stairs i turn and see an arch behind. I see Grand Shaykh Abdulla Faiz Daghestani floating(may Allah sanctify his soul) and they look directly at me with a smile gentle. Their eye contact does not waver for even a second yet at the same time they are spinning.
Jzk for all your efforts and time.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

Alhamdulillah that is  a sign that you are progressing spiritually under the watchful gaze of Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani as represented by his master Grandshaykh `Abdullah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani (q). And spinning indicates their immense power to make your spirit ascend.  And Allah knows best.

Dream: Sh. Nazim & Sayyedina fariduddin Attar R.A.

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Salams

My son was seriously sick last week, and I saw in my dream that Sh. Nazim arrived with Sayyedina Fariduddin Attar (Maqam in Nishapur) . He asked me not to worry both of them prayed and took a round of my house and left.

Next morning Alhamdolillah my son was ok, it was dengui fever, which is spread in pakistan.

pl. convey my salams to all Auliyaullah.

Interpretation:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

That is a true dream showing you what happened to your son in the spiritual realm. For the sake of Sayyidina Fariduddin Attar, whom most likely you are related to in some way, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani came and by Allah’s Mercy and Grace, through Mawlana Shaykh’s baraka, your son was cured. And Allah knows best.

Dream: Breast Feeding

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Dream:

Bismillah As salaam alaikum,
 Im five months pregnant divorced from husband, he was doing black magic on me. I don’t have Muslim family but some trustworthy ah al sunnah shuyuk helped with divorce, awrad, black magic. First weeks after finding black magic I read Qur’an and awrad everyday but had dark dreams my husband and his family doing black magic trapping, beating and torturing me. I continued with Qur’an and awrad and now have bright dreams giving birth, and breastfeeding happy baby. I have bad health and fear black magic still happening. Sheikhs advised not to fear black magic or husbands family but I still worry what they will do in future how it will affect the child, how to protect the child while letting the child know its father, and how to look after baby alone with no family or support I been praying istikhara for guidance. JazakAllah khairan.

Interpretation:

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

wa `alaykum salam,
Keep patience and constancy. Recite “Ya Hafiz” 100 times daily. Look for an opening from Allah (swt)’s rizq, spiritually and materially. Wallahu alam.

Prayer Request: Marriage and Spirituality

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Request:

As salaam alaikum,
 I am 2_ years old single medical student. I am the daughter of a Christian father who cannot help me in my search for marriage. I recently was in conversation with a man who at first seemed well intentioned toward marriage but recently retracted, leaving me distraught and again with no prospects. As I enter my career as a physician, I would love to marry so my partner and I may support each other through our lives and help each other realize half of our deen. Please make dua for me that I may soon find my husband, someone this time who holds similar level beliefs and values as I do with a similar spiritual stance as well as we are otherwise compatible. Jazakallah khair.

Response:

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

wa `alaykum salam,
Inshallah keep your love for Allah and His Prophet (saws) and keep dua for a righteous husband. The shuyukh are praying for you inshallah.

Strange Presence Around me

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salaam Waalyakum,
I have been troubled for a while about a strange presence that is always around me along with a smokey/incense smell at the same time. I have spoken to someone in tariqa and they have confirmed this. It is something that my mother in law has sent it to keep eye on me and to report everything back to her that goes on in my household. My husband is also aware of her doing this and accepts this. I have had feelings of heaviness at night , and when this occurs I have read the 3rd kalima and hasbunallahs coming from my heart and then it passes. Please advise if anything can be done to remove this presence. I don’t know what my husbands mothers intentions are towards me but she will be coming over to stay with us soon and my heart is telling me that this will cause me problems.

Answer:

Alaykum salam
 Take bayaa with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) if not already and wear his taweez. Recite the daily wazifa from Naqshbandi.org and if you can, join the weekly dhikr in your area which is very powerful protection.

Morning and evening recite from Surat Yaseen the verse, “wa ja`alnaa min bayni aydeehim saddan wa min khalfihim saddan fa-aghshaynaahum fahum laa yubsiroon” six times; after each time blow with a little spittle in each of the six directions: front, back, right, left, up, down. Insha-Allah it will go away.

Sheikh Raja Ashman

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salaam,
Maulana to you Hajja and all. We are shocked and very upset at the passing of our beloved Sheikh Raja Ashman. Sheikh Raja gave me shahada and bayat. Since his passing I often see Sheikh Raja. Before I fall asleep at night and sometimes when I wake up in the morning. Even during the day I can see him in my minds eye. Is Sheikh Raja still with me and still guiding me…?

Answer:

wa alaykum salam,

Be happy and at peace with the qadaa and qadar of our Lord. At the passing of his 2-year-old son the Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) only said, “The heart grieves and the eye weeps but we say nothing displeasing to our Lord.”

May Allah have mercy on Raja Ashman Shah and grant him Paradise. He helped bring Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) to Brunei for the first time and represented him in Malaysia. He was generous in helping others. May Allah reward you for your love of this good prince and brother in Tariqa.

However, at the risk of overstating this reply, I remind myself and your good self that the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said, “Give people their due respect;” and that Bayaa is to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret), Rabita is with him, suhba is with him, irshad or guidance is through him, and focus is on his Way, his teachings, his states; all of which as Raja Ashman would have been no doubt the first to tell you.

All representatives the world over are tottering under the onus of being put by well-meaning brethren (or in many cases, what is worse, putting themselves) into positions which then deprive the latter of their rightful connection to Mawlana at great spiritual cost; hence, as he and his two major deputies always reminded us, adab is irreplaceable in Tariqa and we ask Allah to grant us all understanding.

Unhappy with Advice Given to Females

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salam,

I would like to respectfully voice concern regarding advice that is sometimes given to women having problems with their husbands/men like (https://eshaykh.com/family/marriagedivorce/who-is-the-problem/), (https://eshaykh.com/halal_haram/helpless-in-worldly-hell/), (https://eshaykh.com/family/dealing-with-injustice-in-islam/).

It is upsetting that a woman
1) who might have been raped isn’t told to report her rapist to authorities and to look for emotional counseling.
2) who is controlled and punished by her husband for taking a stance in their sex life isn’t told to find support from close family.
3) is advised to deal with her husband’s wandering eyes by becoming more sexually enticing.

I value and respect this website very much, but I wish your advice to women was more empowering/proactive, and that it gave women back control over their lives and bodies. You could recommend better communication with spouses, women can use ahadith to support their positions to husbands/family, and they can seek help/support from close family members.

Thank you, salam.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Victims of rape should certainly report the rapist to authorities and look for emotional counseling. As for confrontation with spouses that only results in anger or divorce, then the advice needs to be rooted in spiritual action.
