Salat al Fatih and Tahlil

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salam Alaik Shuyukh,

I have 2 questions regarding Salat al Fatih and Tahlil of Ahmad Idrissi Tariqa.

1) May I know what is Salat al Fatih and is it a part or type of Ijaza? And what is the procedure of getting/doing Salat al Fatih?

2) Can we recite and practice the Tahlil of Ahmad Idrissi Tariqa with the Naqshbandi Zikr? The Tahlil is: Lā ilāha illallāh Muhammadun rasūlullāh,
fī kulli lamhatin wa-nafasin, ‛adada mā wasi‛ahū ‛ilmullāh, which means “There is no other God than Allah and Muhammad (saw) is his Messenger, in every glance and every breath, as numerous as all that is contained within the Divine knowledge.”

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
You may read the descriptions already given on this forum. No ijaza is needed for Salawat. Salat on the Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) is a universal Divine order incumbent upon all existence and we are born not only with that permission, but with every cell in our being ordered to make magnification of him in every possible way. So do little or do much, “Never shall the tongues of creatures be able to exhaust the praise enjoined upon him.

Baya taking and leaving

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Assalamu alaikum.I am interested to take baya either to Moulana shyakh Hisham Kabbani or Moulana shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani.Preferably MSN.First onlime then whenever l get the opportunity to meet them then directly face to face. If l take the baya now and after sometime if l wish to dscontinue,can l discontinue and get disconnected ?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

It makes no sense to take baya` with the expectation of later breaking it. That is like getting married with the intention of eventual divorce. Baya` is done only to the living Shaykh of the Tariqah. If you are serious in taking the hand of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani you may do so at Online Baya` on the Naqshbandi website.

Regarding Bayah

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Assalamualikum wr wbr,

Hope this finds you in best of health and goodness ,In sha Allahu ta’aala.

I have heard something called bayah owaisi….or bayah without being physicaly present in front of Shaykh…Please,shed some light on it.
Jazakumullaha Khayr

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

This can happen if the Shaykh appears to you and gives you baya` in a dream or even stronger, in a vision. Otherwise you must do it traditionally, or online, but renew it when you meet physically.

See The ‘Uwaysi’ Transmission of Spiritual Knowledge at naqshbandi.org.

Dream: Collapse of a building

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Dream:

My personal building, a duplex, partially collapsed but alhamdullilai, no member of my family got injured. It was fearful for me.

Interpretation:

Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:

This dream can mean that you are going to spend some finances on your building and had fear of over spending. Do the dikr of Hasbunal lahu wa ni’mal wakeel at least 300 times a day. Your fear will disappear,  insha’Allah.

And Allah knows best.
