WORK WITH HANDS

Question:

Asalaamalaikum
I currently work within the education sector in UK as a Data Manager in a school.
When I visited Mawlana 2 yrs ago he recommended that I work with my hands and said to read a book which he wrote about handcrafts and work. I have asked a lot of the mureeds and cannot find this book anywhere. I am planning to visit in the second half of Ramadan to ask permission for Hajj. I would like to answer I have changed my job when Mawlana asks me, but I don’t know what to change to hence looking for this book. Last year Mawlana asked me and I replied in school, mawlana replied “Kabarstaan“. Therefore I think it is crucial for me to change asap, before presenting myself in front of Mawlana.

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

Try “Pure Hearts: 1997 & 1998 associations in Great Britain, Spain & the USA with a Sufi Master of our time”, published in London at Zero Productions in 1998.

You can at least take up a craft as a hobby before you can do it more seriously.

Dream: Invited by Prophet Noah A.S.

Dream:

Assalammu’alaykum Wa rahmatullah

Destur Madad ya Allah, Destur madad ya Rasulullah SAW
Destur Madad ya Sayyidi
, Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Haqqani,
Destur Madad ya Mawlana Shaykh Hisyam Kabbani, and all awliya-ullah

This happen when I was child (4 or 5 years old), I dreamt that Prophet Noah invite me to visit his ark, the ark wasnot finish yet. At another time, 2-3 months after, I dreamt the same, Prophet Noah Alayhissalam invite me to visit the ark. After get into the Ark, suddenly the flood come, higher, and higher.. That time I was grateful that Prophet Noah invited me to come..

Thanks for the interpretation
Wassalammu’alaykum wa rahmatullah

Interpretation:

Wa `alaykum salam,

The first dream indicated you were not spiritually prepared to embark on the Ark of Salvation, Safinat an-Najat, which is Ahl al-Bayt, as embodied by Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani. The second dream meant you had become ready, and were granted the gift of that salvation.

And Allah knows best.

Istikhara dream

Question:

Salaam
I did istikhara to know if i should keep my wife or not who i have been having a lot of problems with lately and saw in my dream my wife wearing a white wedding dress and a red/orange headscarf and i was holding our baby daughter. In another dream i saw clear blue ocean with lots of people having sex on the beach and in third dream saw wife wearing light green clothes. Please could you interpret these dreams.
Jazakallah

Answer:

The first dream means running after dunya pleasure, and the one to suffer is your daughter.

The second means running after sexual pleasure through haram.

The third means your wife is a blessing, keep her.

doing haram cause of being single

Question:

cause I am single I do haram regularly since 2005 I can’t stop it
when I get married I will have lost my energie!
I feel far away from ALLAH and to his massenger what could I do to converge to ALLAH???
Cause my fiancee’s family is false to me I hate them so much that I feel this hate would kill me.
I pray often that the [] army will kill her family, “ALLAHs shame on her family”

I never fought for my right in my live and people do with me what they want
this time I swear to my self that I will take my right
her family should know that they can’t take my rights
I even thought to tell [] police what they talk about the regime
But I prefer to fight in an islamic way for my rights so how could I do that???

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

1 haram + 1 haram = lots of harm.

Consider: if you stop doing haram your situation will come around insha-Allah. How can you dream to curse the very family whose daughter’s hand you seek? Would the results please her?! Perhaps they perceive that dirty action you are doing, and thus are holding back.

To reduce sexual desire for an unmarried person, the Prophet’s (s) recommendation is to fast.

We continue to advise, seek a Shaykh, take his hand (initiation) and your life will take an immediate turn for the better, insha-Allah.  Don’t say “where can I find a shaykh?” You are in the Home of Shaykhs.

Dream: istighara

Dream:

I was doing istighara prayer, concerning one man. 6 days later I had a dream. I was in a theater, pulling a luggage, looking for my seat, my 2 friends waiting for me. I asked a female usher to show my seat, she said it´s too difficult, because I mentioned two seatnumbers.Then a half-english man, whose face wasn´t clear,guides me, up to a mountain in my birthtown, it´s much higher in my dream than in reality.
I see a nice landscape, beautiful colors, big river and woods, at my right, some lakes. When I wake up, I was so happy about that dream, and decided to stop selling my handycrafts on markets and fairs but settle down in my hometown, open a small shop to get more stable. Does this say anything about that special man, for whom I made Istichara? Thank U so much for reading this, Salams

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah it is a good result and a good sign indicating that marriage will take you from a false world, represented by the theatre, and carrying baggage of dunya, to your “birthplace”, high spiritual stations and happiness, here and hereafter.

darood shareef fast

Question:

asalaam.
my question was that i read darood e khizri, and have been readin over a year alhamdulilla in thousands,
and now when i read it alhamdulilla i read it very fast, but at times it will feel as thow i am not pronouncing the wordin of the darood properly.
is this a vasvasa or is it possible, about 2-3 darood shareefs in one second…
jazakAllah

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

That is called Tai al-Lisan, the over-extension of the power of the tongue to recite dhikr and salawat very fast. That is ok and allows the seeker to do huge amounts of dhikr in a short time.

As Shaykh Hisham said in a suhbat, dated April 17, 2008:

So that guide  of purification has to every 24 hrs he has to make dhikr of Allah Allah 24,000 times and 5000 times salawat and but if still he has time there are those in that level that some can go up to 700,000 dhikrullah a day and that is what we call Tayy al-Lisan.

يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاء كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ

Yawm natwi as-sama’i katayyi ‘s-sijjili li ‘l-kutubi…

{The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed)} (Surat al-Anbiya, 21:104)

So that is “Folding the Tongue.” As awliyaullah can be one moment here and in another moment in China. You can fold time and space. Like airplanes folded time and space and you can be from here to there where before it took years. And awliyaullah with their feet they have tayy with Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem.

They can be there.

So they have Tayy al-Lisan that in one hour they do 700,000 dhikrullah and 250,00 praise on the Prophet (s). So tell me who from these murshids who call themselves murshids can go to that level of dhikr and salawat?

If it is said, he said, “How that is possible?” “There is,” Grandshaykh, may Allah bless his soul, said, “from the tongue there is a direct spiritual vein that you cannot see but it is like a vein but it is made from light that connects the tongue to the heart directly. So awliyaullah when they use that channel they cannot go just 700,000 times Allah Allah,  but they can go 70 million times dhikrullah.

If they are able to use that channel, then you know speed of light is 300,000 km/sec. If you put light here and if there is no obstacle, in one second light reaches the moon. 300,000 kilometers in one second the light will move. If you put a candle here they can see it if they have power.

So he said “there is a spiritual channel that goes from tongue to heart. If zhulmah, darkness, is taken away from that channel, sara nouraniyya, it become luminous, shining. With that shining they can reach any number of dhikrullah that no one else can be able to reach.

Dream: A Gold Ring

Dream:

I found or stole a gold ring from the ground, it was broken or almost in two peices and it had the number 50 or 50k, in the inner part of the band I said to myself or thought to myself “I can still pawn it” or something like that.

Interpretation:

The ground represents awliyaullah, for as Ibn `Ajiba said, in Iqaz al-Himmam, “the elect one among God’s servants is like unto the earth; it accepts every type of refuse and yet nothing issues from it but sweetness. Both the good and the sinner walk over and step on the servant of God.” The golden ring symbolizes the Golden Chain, the Unbreakable Bond, the Extended Rope of Allah from Heaven to Earth.  Reforge your golden link by means of the five daily prayers, for which Allah grants you 50, and by means of the Khatm Khawajagan, which cannot be purchased by gold or diamonds.

and Allah knows best,

Re: Weird Experience

Question:

Salaam alaikum.
I went to sleep at 2:30am. At sharp, 3:30am, I woke up and was not at all sleepy. I lay in bed doing dhikr and suddenly I heard myself breathing like a dog. I, then heard a voice of a dog barking inside me. I continued reading Ayat-ul-Kursi and doing dhikr. I started having sharp pain in my back and then all of a sudden I was very sleepy. I closed my eyes and I could feel someone pulling energy out of my body from my left foot. I got aggrevated and asked sheikh Nazim & Abdul Qadir Jilani to help me. I saw a bright green light and I woke up. Did that evil spirit take over me? I have been experiencing head aches since then. Please advise something to read.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

When you call the awliyaullah they come, so don’t give too much credence or power to shaytan. Didn’t you see the light? The dog is only your ego, always barking… not happy with Dhikrullah. Ignore it until it stops, which may take time.

Make fresh wudu before sleeping and pray 2 raka`ats greeting the wudu, insha-Allah you will not be bothered.
