A0A Shiekh Hisham,
My friend wants to get a fake Graduation degree to get a job. Everywhere he goes, they ask for a degree which he doesn’t have on him. Based on that degree he can do a REAL Masters degree. He wants to ask if the money earned using that degree will be halaal or haram. Please guide.
JazakAllah Khairan
Allah hafiz.
Answer:

Earning money in Islam is a sacred institution. A fake degree to get a job is deception and is expressly prohibited in Shari’ah.

Answer:
Allah Most High will grant you high stations through your patience with this test. Recite “Allah, Allah” without making a sound or moving your tongue, just focus on your heart. If you have not made bayaa with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani do so.

Question:
After receiving part of al Qur’an, and installed it within himself, he (s.a.w.) disbursed it further to his (s.a.w.) sahabas. By this amal (or action) he showed us the basic of Nabi’s (s.a.w.) ways of learning (and teaching) : learning by doing.This action was accepted by Allah as attitude of syukur, such that while he (s.a.w.) was reciting the ayat(s) Allah gives him (s.a.w.) further or deeper meaning of the ayat(s), or something like that. This process was repeated on the sahabas. So Allah teaches (taught)men what they do not know and the teacher only acts as a channel. This ways (tradition) of teaching was continued by the Shaykh until today. That is why the teaching (suhbat) of the Shaykh was received differently by the audiences, depends on the level of understanding as set by Allah for each individuals. Is this interpretation accepted?
Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (S) encouraged the teachers to:
“Kallimun-Nasa ‘ala qadari ‘uquulihim!” Which means, speak to people on the level of their understanding.

Dream:
Assalam Aleykum
I would like to tell you about 2 dreams that i have had recently
First one i had was that I’m in a place where i see a large species of spiders on a big table. i cant remember properly but i think somebody is giving me a lecture on these spiders. as i walk around them i see that some of the spiders are very big and they frighten me a bit. one of the spiders that i remember is a tarantula but i don’t fear the tarantula.
The other dream i had was about the Illuminati sign. this dream gave me quite a scare. in this dream i see a triangle appear in a pitch black place and then the eye appears in the triangle.
Please can you interpret these dreams of mine.
Wassalam
Interpretation:
Alaykum as-Salam,
Sight of spiders in dream indicates need to renew good ties with spouse if married and be on one’s best behavior. If unmarried then it indicates need for repentance. Other dream signifies need to steer clear from the overpowering lure of the world (dunya) which fills the eyes to blind the heart.

Question:
Asalam Alikum,
I am 15 years old and study in Singapore.However, my family lives in Indonesia.I live in a dorm in Singapore.Occasionally, I would feel homesick and miss my family. Are there any prayers for this? and please pray for me.
Answer:
When Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) stopped using the tree-stump as his pulpit, the tree-stump wept and moaned out of longing for him. This Prophetic miracle is known in the books of Sira as hanin al-jidh` or the “homesickness of the trunk.” After that the Prophet placed his blessed hand on it and it stopped moaning. That tree-trunk was given Paradise. Homesickness is a sign of belief, as the home of the believer is Paradise and nearness to Prophet, upon him blessings and peace. When you feel homesick, make wudu‘, pray two rakaat then sit and reflect on this incident and make this duaa often: Rabbana atina fil-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa-qina `adhaba al-nar. You may also make weekly dhikr with the Haqqani group in Singapore.

Request:
Assalamu Alaykum, I’m having doubts in Islam, subhanallah. As i started listening to all those atheists and science teachers at school, my faith became weaker. I hoped that this feeling(doubts) is going to go away but it is just getting worst. Sometimes when I hear an Islamic lecture it gets better but 2 days after as hear an scientific lecture my faith becomes weak and than I start having doubts. Sometimes i read scientific articles about universe which say that there is no God, then I start having greater doubts about existence of Allah, may Allah forgive me. And sometimes I read surahs or Islamic articles and sometimes they are confusing. One part of me is having doubts and the other part of me is pulling me towards Islam. So can u please tell me how to strengthen my Iman and please make dua asking Allah to strengthen my faith.
Response:
wa `alaykum salam,
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.
Part of faith is to avoid that which makes you doubt. Leave off science and technology in preference to Allah and His Prophet (s) and what they are bringing. Though we are taught we “must” go to university in order to achieve a degree and begin a career and that is the only way to succeed in life. This teaching is ingrained in us, that is in fact a false teaching designed to weaken our belief. Allah is The Provider, not the educational system, nor our careers.
As Mawlana Shaykh has often said, universities are only teaching unbelief. What benefit is there to a good dunya life, by learning something which is of no benefit to your akhira? Instead attend the “university” of our mashaykh at sufilive.com and in their many books and talks and your faith will increase, insha-Allah.
By this, I don’t advise you to drop out of school, but what I meant to tell you is, don’t take what they teach so seriously and certainly don’t run to listen to lectures that are not required by your school. Rather attend as a duty to achieve dunya matters but not as something you believe in.
