Most important is to include your parents in making this decision, or you will be falling into wrongdoing, even with your good intentions.

Recite Ya Wadud 100x daily to your intention.

Istikhara Prayer

Posted on March 15, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

I have heard that if any unmarried men/women pray Istikhara prayer and see any dream of any women/men then he/she will be his/her future spouse. Is it true? I prayed this prayer some year before. I saw in my dream that I was waiting for my LOVER but he didn’t come, someone else come whom I didn’t know.My marriage with my LOVER didn’t happen for some reason and that relation broke up. My parents are trying for my marriage for 3/4 years but it didn’t take place. Now my Q is- Do that men whom I dreamt would be my future husband? I still didn’t find out who he is. Sometimes I thought, though I am unable to find him, I’m unmarried. When I find him my marriage will happen. Is it true?

Answer:

Istikhara is not for seeing the future but to ask Allah Most His if a certain choice is good for your or not. For example after a marriage proposal comes to you; or a business offer; or the possibility of a move. Ask Allah in your duas to help you find a good spouse and recite
often Rabbana atina fil dunya hasanatan etc.

Life Problems

Posted on March 15, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Assalamu alaykum,

May Allah shower Sheikh Nazim and all his followers with barakah. Lately I feel like giving up on life as there is no hope for me. I have the curse of Allah looming on me for intentionally missing Ramadan fasts. I have committed sins so much. Because of the curse, my prayers are not being accepted. I am failing school and have made my parents depressed about not getting into Medical School. Inshallah I want to make up my prayers and fasts, but my Iman is weak. I have love of dunya and lots of anger. Nothing good is coming out of me. Allah has given me so many blessings, but I still feel cursed by my own actions. Please pray for me sometimes I feel like running away or committing suicide, my heart is diseased I feel it. Jazakullahukhair.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you.

Take online initiation to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and seek his spiritual support.

Recite and return to this verse again and again:

{Say: “O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.} (az-Zumar, 39:53)

Use this time of constriction as an opportunity to return to Allah with your whole heart, Allah will come “running” to you. Make intention to fast the coming Ramadan, and intend with Divine Support to make kaffarah for the missed fasts.

Learning Shariah

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assalaamu alaikum warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu to all!

As I don’t know someone that I am able to trust and keep company with to learn sharia and adab I am resorting to nothing but to ask for a way to learn sharia. I am fond of reading but I am not sure of which books to read (due to not being able to trust books these days and my lack of knowledge in the names of trustworthy authors). Also I came across the video sohba of Maulana Sheikh Hisham Kabbani (Q) where he stressed the importance of learning adab and other knowledges from books.

I humbly ask for the names of the best books to read for my level of understanding (I probably am a beginner).

Jazakallahu khair

May Allah bless Sheikh Nazim al Haqqani and his family and mureeds and everyone

Answer:

Alaykum salam,

You can read the high quality English translations of imam Ghazali and shaykh Abd Qadir Gilani’s books as well as the fiqh answers online on the websites cited on eshaykh.com.

Rabita with the Master

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

Salam Alaykum Sheykhs,

Sometimes I find myself doing the Fajr prayer or reciting a divine name, or even while in silence, I feel what happens to other people, I realize what they feel, their problems, diseases, etc … To arise as images, or simply feelings of certainty.

Then I communicate by any means to that person, and always ends up being successful and timely communication with my / him / her for help.

I know the Rabita is the connection with the Master, sometimes I want to be connected with a family member or friend and these are the results. A case can generate connections of this kind?

Rabita is a case? why does this happen? For me it is sometimes difficult to deal with this. How I can carry it forward.

Thanks for the reply.
salaams

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

This is because your heart is open and you can see spiritually.

Dream: Bad Dreams about Prospective Wife

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Assalam wa Aleikum Shaikh,
I want to marry a girl who says she has leukemia, but I have bad dreams about her. One I recite some verses from the Koran and she runs away from becoming a monster white face and dark eyes, she screams and cowers, alive with many nightmares and some related to it. I wonder if this is a warning that I should not get married and get away from her?

Interpretation:

Alaykum Salam,
You are correct.

In need of further guidance

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

My beloved Mawlana Shaykh Hisham forgive my poor adab. I feel ashamed for asking this but I’m not having peace of mind these days. We spoke when you saw me in [private] last month. I asked you if I should move to [private].  You advised to live either close to the dergah, or look for work in Dubai.

After we met I received an offer to stay in [private] and open a school for children. The founders are mureeds. They want to build a center; teach people to manage without technology and live close to nature, according to what Sultan al-Awliyah instructs us.

With this new information, please advise me if I should go ahead with making a school in [private] or if I should continue in the path you told me in London. JazakAllah khayr.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,
Do the school with mureeds.

Istikhara Dream: Spiders & Shaikh Hisham

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Assalam alaikum,

May Allah bless you all for your excellent work.

I had a dream where I saw many large black spiders in their webs in one of my old homes. There were many of them, I closed the door to the room and saw them coming under it. I went close to them and saw they weren’t spiders but in fact seemed to be made of plastic…like toys almost…and weren’t spiders at all. I also saw myself removing the spiders I saw previously on the wall with little fear.

I had done Istikhara on the night prior to this dream where I asked if I should take bayah with MSN.I also saw in another dream Shaikh Hisham saying to me….I am putting a sensor on you and making you sensor in the area. Any clarification of these two dreams would be great.

Massalama

Interpretation:

Alaykum salam,

Spiders here are pests signifying spiritual impediments which turn out to be nothing at all, as Allah Most High said the flimsiest structure is the spider’s house. So removing them means progress in the way, and being a sensor means you are under spiritual scrutiny as well as your whole area, so be cheerful and strive hard.
