Safety from dajjal

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

Assalamu alaikum warahmathullah,

I am currently living in England and a mureed of Mawlana Sheikh Nazim (Q) (through on-line baya). Recently I stumbled across Mawlana Sheikh Hisham’s book “The Approach of Armageddon”. Masha Allah it was a very informative book that opened my eyes to what is to come. But it has imprinted a deep fear in me too.

I am absolutely clueless on how to seek protection. There was a mention of memorising the first 10 aya of surah khaf. Would this be sufficient to keep the dajjal away or would it be safer for me to move to Damascus, Macca or Madina? I know this is a long shot but insha allah if I am still alive by this time I want to do my absolute best to protect my faith.

Jazak Allah khair, may Allah protect us all!

Answer:

Wa `alaykum salam,

Please see Protection from the Fitna of the Coming Times.

My brother needs ruqyah

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

Salamouhaylaikum wa rahmatullah

dear eshaykh

my brother has severe problem with a jinn inside and outside his body. he claim that he recited for 7 to 14 day [similar post “prayer black magic”]
I also gave him manzil. then i gave him a durood. that durood started to improve him a bit. Even our Local Imam say he is possessed and doesn’t have time to help him. the jinn or whatever type of unseen creature is really troubling him.
What can you prescribe him? in case if he is crazy then what can we do?
Wasalaam

Answer:

Wa `alaykum salam,

Insha`Allah Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for him, and let him continue the general prescription for protection until his condition improves if 7-14 was not enough. Also, he should try to keep fresh wudu if possible.

Please find further advice here.

What is Islamic Definition of Magic?

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

SLM.I would like to know the Islamic definition of magic as it has been asked a lot to mebecause there are many believers who ask about it but we do not know the answer, after a search to find out what is magic, we find some definitions as Universal Definition of Magic:The act of manipulating spiritual energies, making use ofany form of magic exists, regardless of their origin, through objects of any kind, actions or reactions, in order to achieve their own wishes or others;Magic is the science and art of causing change in conformity with Will.(Crowley). An introductory book on magic even quotes the example of the five prayers and the direction of the qibla, many magicians use it saying it is a form of magic, it is hard to see that everything involves magic, even to consider some magic technology, as well a others see science as magic.

Answer:

Wa`alaykum salam,

Please read this previous post, Harut and Marut. For further investigation, read  Prophet Solomon(as) .

Syed Bukhari lineage related questions – Part 1/2

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

Salam Alaykoum WrAllah Wb,

Some of my girl cousins (one is near 35, spiritually very strong) are currently not married. They say they must marry a Syed family, but they are literally struggling. Their father, a Syed Bukhari, is not talking much. Their mother, a very blessed woman, a non Syed, has passed away (May Allah have her soul).
My questions are coming separately. I apologize for my straightforward questions coming with the next post (Part 2/2), but the situation is such that they really need help. No one in their family seems to making a move for helping them! And because they do not go out of their homes, it is not easy. InshaAllah your answers will stop people from talking in their back, and will increase the knowledge of those who don’t know. Please make duas for them.

Many thanks, JazakAllah! And Ramadhan Mubarak.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

I will make du`as. Let them recite hasbunAllah wa ni`ama ‘l-wakeel 100 times daily.
