Dream: Food cooked on low flame

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Dream:

My mom performed istekhara twice for my marriage with a guy.

1st dream- There is a place where somebody’s marriage function is going on. Food is being cooked in large utensils but the fire is very low. She also saw a little girl of 7-8 years asking for food who is being told that she should wait and she would get the food when its ready”

2nd dream- She saw herself cooking food but she has little wood in her fire, so she gives money to someone to quickly bring more wood. She has to serve food to 3-4 people of family and is making it… she also saw a girl of about 16 years (which she thinks was my cousin – it ws not clearly seen) lying down on her stomach and crying…
Please interpret these dreams … Jazakallah.

Interpretation:

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

This dream can mean that you are not ready to marry the first guy who ask for your hand, but the second one is good; your cousin is going to be happy for you.

And Allah knows best.

Dream: Stubble

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

salaam. I currently have taken off my beard, fully. I had a dream where I was trimming my beard but not taking all of it off – leaving a sort of stubble beard.

I feel this is a bad sign as I  have read a previous dream interpretation posted by someone else with a similar dream; the response being its ‘not a good sign’. but mine is different as I usually take off all my beard but in the dream I am leaving a little.

Please give your understanding of this dream. shukran. salaam.

Interpretation:

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

wa `alaykum salam,
Insha-Allah it’s a good sign for you, keeping the sunnah in your dream. If you are constrained in your daily life you may leave your beard off outwardly, but keep salawat and the love of the Prophet (s) in your heart.

Prayer Request: Husband’s prosperity

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Request:

Assalamualikum Ya Sheikh,
My husband is a very good nature person but he doesn’t pray regularly. Please pray for him and secondly he is running a fast food restaurant which is not earning well. There are some non-halal food products, we are trying to dispose of this business, but no good deal is through yet. Please pray for best.
JazakAllah

Response:

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

As-salaamu alaikum,
Our Beloved Prophet (saws) said, “And whoever concerns himself with the Hereafter, Allah will fix his affairs, establish the richness of his heart, and cause the worldly affair to come to him against his will. And whoever concerns himself with worldly life, Allah will disperse his affair, make poverty between his eyes and will not get from dunya except what was written for him.”

Let him repeat Allahuma a`innee `ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni `ibadatik, “O Allah help us in our Remembrance of You and our Thankfulness to You and Make our service good and beautiful” and try to make his relationship with Allah and His Prophet (saws) stronger.

The Shaykh will be praying for him, inshallah. Wallahu Alam.

Prayer Request: Urgent Solution Needed

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Request:

As salamu alaikum, I took baya online and would like Sheikh to pray for me.
I am facing serious financial problems in the university.I have been facing the problem for a very long period of time without a solution despite the numerous wazifas that I recite. I find it difficult to pay my school fees, lodging, books and pocket money. I hope Sheikh will take the burden from me. I wish our beloved Sheikh good health and long life. Thank u.

Response:

Wa`alaykumussalam,
There are many students facing the same problem. Seek help from family, relatives, friends, mosques, charities, trusts, etc. There shall always be ways and means to go around this. You may receive interest-free loans for that matter. Insha-Allah, Shaykh will pray for you, but be advised it is not from Adab to ask him to swallow such burdens.

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

AssalamoAlaikum ,
My name is [private]. Ive suffered greatly during the last year because the boy I wanted to marry wasn’t up to my family’s likings. His name is [private] and he has also taken Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al Haqqani’s bayat. He also was able to perform hajj with mawlana Shaykh Hisham. I don’t know why my parents don’t approve of him. I need you prayers. They are always bring up number of unsubstantial materialistic reasons. My parents isolated me for 5 months so that I forget him, but I wasn’t able to. He loves Shaykh Nazim more than his life and i want to seek Mawlanas help. Allah knows the best. It’s been more than a year I’ve persevered and so has [private]. Please give me direction and I want my Shaykh to make a special prayer for me and [private] to have a good life together and visit Shaykh Nazim together in Cyprus. Ameen.

Answer:

Wa`laykumussalam,
Insha Allah, Shaykh Hisham will pray for you. Refer to his advice here.

To Earn the Love of Allah swt?

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

Salaam,

For the last months of my life I have been pondering over Allah, and I believe in Allah. But I don’t know if I can ever reach his divine presence. Each day passes and I see no good dreams or signs from Allah as other mureeds of sheik Nazim do. I will be honest I don’t really read the dhikr and I pray sometimes not the all 5 but its because I work and when I come home I am really tired. What should i do if I want to have a closer connection with Allah and Muhammad pbuh and will it work?

Answer:

Wa`alaykumussalam,

For all its benefits, try to do the daily Awrad, and this advice is especially to myself first and for everyone. We all tend to miss it, so, naturally some of the gifts and benefits shall be lost from us. Do whatever you can from the daily practices – no matter how much – as this is a constant struggle.

The five daily prayers, however, must be done without fail no matter the situation, as Salah is the pillar of faith and ascension of the believer. Shaytan wants us to find excuses not to remember Allah, so we should not succumb to his mischiefs. Alhamdulillah, our Shuyukh have taught us the ways and means to get close to Allah daily. You only need to follow them on a consistent basis, insha-Allah, you shall find your way to be easy.

Prayer Request: Trusting Others

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Request:

Asalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,

I hope that Sh. Nazim and Sh. Hisham are in the best of health inshAllah. I would like to request that a prayer be made to help me trust others and not be constantly suspicious. I’ve been noticing in the past year that whenever someone says something that doesn’t add up or makes me suspicious, I continually question that person’s honesty. I have been talking with a sister for marriage purposes and every morning when I wake up new questions or suspicions come into my head. Any advice, prayers for me, or prayers I could pray would be helpful. As I do not think this is a healthy situation for me or the sister.

JazakAllahKhair.

Response:

Wa`alaykumussalam

Suspicions or doubts are from Shaytan. Ignore them for whatever they’re worth. Recite “A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem” and “Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem” 100x each daily.
