Posted on February 2, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Request:

Assalamalaykum, Please can you pray and advise on anything i can do for my sister-in-law who has high grade non Hodgkin lymphoma (Bcell type stage 3). She has begun treatment this week. If her personal details would be helpful i can provide on request. Any help would be appreciated. Jazakallah.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,
Recite the Ayat ash-Shifa (Six Quranic Verses of Healing) and the du’a from Prophet s.a.w:

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ مُذْهِبَ البأسِ اشْفِ

أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شَافِيَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا

Allahumma Rabba n-nas mudh-hiba  l-ba`si Ishfi
Anta sh-Shaafii Laa Shaafiya illaa Ant
Shifaa`an laa yughaadiru saqamaa

O Allah, lord of humanity and remover of harms, Heal
You are the Healer, there is no healer but You
A healing that leaves no sickness.

Give Sadaqah. Insha Allah, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for her.

Fal from Qur’an

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Asolmalaikum
This question is for Haji Gibril Haddad please!
I took fal from Qur’an regarding a decision about what to regarding a guy I like my intentions are pure but he ignores me, and doesn’t seem interested. I got fed up and was upset and confused. So i took fal from Qur’an and asked Allah for an answer, as in what i should do I’m really confused.

The answer was stopped at Surat Zariayath ayah 7,8 and 9.
The English translation for this answer is as follows :
by the sky with (its) numerous paths. Truly ye are of varying opinion. Through which are deluded (away from the truth) such as would be deluded.

Can you please tell me what does this mean, what is the answer Allah gave me, I really don’t understand it. Please ya Shaykh answer me in detail. May Allah reward you all ameen.

Answer:

Alaykum as-Salam,
Numerous paths and Variance of opinion indicates a parting of ways. If still in doubt you may perform istikhara.

Prayer Request: I am confused, Sexual Preference

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Request:

Aslkm Sheikh Sahab,

I was little bit hesitant of writing you of my problem but have gathered a courage for it.

I am confused of my sexual preference. ALLAH be praised that I haven’t done a sin yet but I am fearful of shaitan’s provocation for me to cross the limits set by my Lord. Please dua for my safeguard from being falling in the clutches of Shaitan mardood and for my entire life to be spend as a good & sincere mumin.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,
Make wudu, pray two rak’ah Sunnah al-Hifz and ask Allah for protection. Refer to the answer in this posting: Wird to Remove Homosexual Desires.

Dream: Seeing the Dajjal

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

As Salamu Alaykum,

I had this dream on a Thursday or Friday night, maybe around the time of Salatul Fajr. I saw the Dajjal in human form, it was only me and him in the middle of nowhere, he was standing in front of me and looking somewhere towards my left, his eyes were fixed in that spot. He did not match the description of the Ahadiths but he was close to 6 foot, thin shaped, brown complexion, I think he was Asian, maybe Indian or Pakistani, somewhere from Southern Asia, he wore the Shalwar, the islamic clothing in white, he wore the Islamic hat in white, I think he had short hair and held a tasbeeh I think in his right hand, the only description that was connected with the Ahadiths was his left eye that was dysfunctional, it was semi closed but he could not see in that eye.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Dream points to the currency of Dajjal’s appearance and the fact that many people will be seduced by his lies. Read Surat al-Kahf every Jumua and recite the dua of protection against him in every tashahhud.

Uncertainty, Nine Points in Heart

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

I have been exploring the Naqshbandi Tariqa for some time. I have had a very positive experience with Maulana Hisham Kabbani, and the murshids I’ve met, and am very drawn to the practices I’ve read about, seen and taken part in. But I am uncertain about some of the teachings of the order that seem to specify details of the unseen not mentioned in the Qur’an or Sunna. One of these are the nine points in the heart, each governed by a Naqshbandi shaykh. I don’t want to sound challenging or confrontational in any way — but must an initiate of the order accept these kinds of teachings as factual truth? How important is acceptance of the teachings on the Sultanate to becoming an initiate? I have a real fear — not to throw out a Salafi term — of bida in belief.

Answer:

Alhamdulillah, may Allah make you feel more contented with the Shuyukh.

You are uncertain because you haven’t made Bay’ah hence you haven’t learnt much yet. There is a gradual progression in learning and practicing. At this point it is sufficient that you appreciate the base matters before going further.

However there is a way for you to understand. Step (1) make the Bay’ah here. Step (2) practice the daily Awrad. Step (3) try to be in the company of the Shaykh as our Way is built on association (Suhbah). Soon enough you shall receive understanding and certainty.

Last verse of Surah Tawbah

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

It is stated in Sunan Abee Dawood that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said, “Allah will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning and evening whatever he desires from this world or the next.”

Is this hadith authentic?

Answer:

Abu Dawud narrates it in his Sunan (Book of Adab toward the end) as a saying of Abu al-Darda’ with a chain of trustworthy narrators, which makes it authentic as a Companion-report. Furthermore, Ibn Hajar and al-Mundhiri in Mukhtasar al-Targhib wal-Tarhib (p. 172 §526) said it has the status of a Prophetic hadith.

The correct wording is: “Whoever says when he reaches morning and when he reaches evening Hasbiya Allahu la ilaha illa Hu, `alayhi tawakkaltu wa-Huwa Rabbu al-`arsh al-`azhim seven times, Allah shall suffice him of whatever concerns him whether he is truthful or lying.”

مَنْ قالَ إِذَا أصْبَحَ وإِذَا أَمْسَى حَسْبِيَ الله لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكّلتُ وَهُوَ رَبّ الْعَرشِ الْعَظِيمِ سَبْعَ مَرّاتٍ كَفَاهُ الله مَا أَهَمّهُ صَادِقاً كَانَ بِهَا أَوْ كَاذِباً
