Halal vs. Organic meat

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

As Salamu Alaikum,

Currently i only eat Halal meat and seafood. I am concerned, however, about the quality of the meat and have read so many negative things about animals being injected with hormones, antibiotics, soy, etc. And then we eat this, and it is shown to negatively effect our health. And unfortunately, some halal meat markets are selling this type of meat, that has been slaughtered in the halal manner.

I really want to feed my family clean, organic, healthy AND halal meat. But it seems that i have to choose one or the other. Do you have any thoughts on this?

As Salamu Alaikum and thank you for your time.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Please see the post:

Prayer Request:

Aslaam Ula kum,
I feel embarrassed that my questions maybe futile and I might be wasting your time, I am sorry Sheikh. I wanted to change my name and am requesting if you could name me, Shiekh? Secondly I wanted to ask if you Sheikh could do dua for me that I have a stronger deen and stronger love for Allah swt and our beloved Prophet Muhammad saw. I also have exams fast approaching and want to succeed in this life and the next. I have just recently given bayaath to Maulana Sheikh Nazim and inshallah wish to see them in Cyprus in the summer and inshallah Maulana Sheikh Hisham when they visit the UK again. So could you please do dua that I am able to make these important visits? Thank you and sorry Sheikh if I have in any way caused any inconvenience.

This represents being free from the gravity of ego.

Prayer Request:

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Salaatul Nabi,
As-Salaamu alaiykum wr wb,
My love and thanks to you from the tiny amount that I know. Could you help with my tariqa situation. I feel lost inside and am really hoping that I may be able to be a good person with the opportunity that The Almighty has given me. But I have let myself, my Sheiyk, friends and family down. Please could you make dua that I will be able to marry to establish sunna and that I will accept it as I have the problem of accepting the blessings when they come. I feel powerless when giving myself up, losing patience. Astagfirullah. Love, gratitude and hope of being accepted. AstagfirUllah.
Ma Salaam.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

I will pray for you. Recite Ya Hafiz 301 times.

Prayer Request: Sister refuses to marry

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Prayer Request:

Shaykh Kabbani,

I hope you are well and May Allah give you and Shaykh Nazim a long life.

I ask you do dua on behalf of my family and give us something to read. My sister is nearly 26 and she keeps refusing to get married to anyone. This is causing my mum and dad to be very upset. Every time she is approcahed about marriage she will shout at my parents.
Please do dua and give us something to read that will help resolve this situation peacefully.
Thank You

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Ask your sister if there is someone she already has interest in marrying, without being threatening or intimidating. If so, then assist her to marry him.

If not, then recite Ayat al-Kursi one time and Ya Hafizh 300x daily and present as a gift to the Prophet (s) on her behalf.

Prayer Request: Istiqaamat

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Prayer Request:

assalam u alayekum Sheikh Hisham !
For quite some time I am feeling that I have been declining spiritually rather than progressing. Previously I had written you my problem about wasawis but it has not been published yet (along with many other questions, dreams and prayers of mine). Please pray for me that May Allah bless me the goodness of this world as well as of the world hereafter and that may Allah make me among those who’ll be the rewarded ones in this world and in Hashr. And that may I perfectly follow the tariqah in order to achieve Maulana Sheikh Nazim’s blessings your blessings.
Shukran ya Syyedi.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

It is better, both for me and for you, to see ourselves as failures and know we are unable to accomplish anything, as a weak and helpless servants. Then turn to your Lord seeking His forgiveness and support; turn to the Prophet (s) and seek his istighfar and support; turn to your Shaykh and seek his prayers and support.
