Taweez (continued)

Question:

Assalamu alaykum

My apologies for continuing the question but please advise the permissibility of entering the toilet whilst wearing a taweez containing Quranic verses.

Thank you.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

The taweez you are wearing is already concealed. So there is no problem with it. You may remove it if you like. However, it is preferred that you take it off when you shower.

Rules for Feet

Question:

Salam I belong to shafi madhab please could you provide me the ruling regarding wearing socks while praying for ladies according to shafi madhab? Thank you for your time.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

In Shafi`i Madhhab, women must cover their feet, as they are considered the parts that should be covered. So they should also cover them during the prayer.

Dream: Imam Mahdi

Dream:

Salam,
I had a dream the world is coming to an end like qiyamah people are just running no one cares. But I know I must get together with a small group of mureeds (Naqshbandi), but I am also hiding. Then I am in a room alone. Suddenly there’s a knock at the door. I open it i see 1 man I don’t really remember what he looked like, but he was striking so much and face full of noor. He stared at me and then smiled and said, I am Madhi,You are with us don’t worry. I don’t remember the rest of the dream. Similarly I have seen Isa Alay salam many times, Hazrat Bayazzid Bustami, Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani and shaykh Nazim appear in my dream. Could you please tell me what these dreams mean. There are also many other things which I cannot say here.
Salam

udhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

wa `alaykum salam,

Alhamdulillah not everything needs to be said, as awliya know what they are doing for their followers.  Seeing Mahdi (a.s.) and `Isa (a.s.) in the dream is a good tiding that you will be present in their time, and they are guiding and protecting you to reach to them.  Seeing Sultans of Saints in your dream shows your beloved position to them, coming from your relation to the Prophet (s).  And Allah knows best.

udhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

Seeing awliya in the dream is a great blessing and sign of their care for you. Try to follow their advice to reach what they want for you. And Allah knows best.

Dream: Nabi ‘Issa AS and see the ka’ba

Dream:

I saw Shiekh of my masjid and Nabi ‘Issa and I was walking with them. The shiekh read dua we were saying Amin. The shiekh and Nabi were sitting speaking to a gathering and Shiekh said there will be coolness and Mahdi will arrive (I thought to myself Nabi Isse is already here). He said something about children also..and then I saw many people around the Kaaba and a man in white clothes walked towards me pick up a mic and turns around the word Allah in Arabic in back of his cloth.
Note. coolness was said in language and I asked my brother what it meant, he said it meant being passive or giving in.

Interpretation:

audhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,
Very nice dream filled with many meanings.  Sayyidina `Isa (a.s.) saying ‘Amin‘ with the shaykh shows that he will be following the Shari`ah of Prophet Muhammad (s) and that the sincere Muslims will be following him along with Sayyidina Mahdi (a.s.).  Many young people will be following Mahdi (a.s.) and people will swear allegiance to him at the Ka`aba ash-Sharifah. And Allah knows best.

Dream: Vision of Shayk Nazim

Dream:

Aslamu alykum wr wb Sayydi
It was after fajr. I was half asleep and half awake. I saw Shaykh Nazim standing in my room facing the qibla. I think they were praying. I tried to move my duvet awy from my face but I couldn’t so I only saw the side of Mawlana’s face. Straight after I saw Mawlana I saw Shaykh Hisham was in the sitting in tashahhud and I saw that Mawlana Shaykh Hisham had a big cut across his neck and it was if he had got it 2-3 days ago as it was healing. I did not read fajr that day and a couple of days before because my alarm did not go off. Could you please interpret this for me
walykum aslam

Interpretation:

audhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem,

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

wa `alaykum salam,

Masha-Allah very nice to see Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham together in the dream in worship.  We know from our shuyukh that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim inherited from Grandshaykh Abdullah Daghestani (q) a grant from Prophet (s) to raise all of his followers to his level and share the rewards of his worship with his murids.  Even though we are all so weak and fall short so much, they are responsible to make up whatever we miss and present it to the presence of Prophet (s) to keep us spiritually raised.  As such, our shuyukh teach us not to make them feel shy in the presence of the Prophet (s) carrying too many sins or shortcomings from their students, shown by the wound on Mawlana Shaykh Hisham’s neck.  Our shuyukh have advised to set multiple alarm clocks in order to not miss fajr. May Allah strengthen our determination and keep us on the way of our shuyukh. And Allah knows best.

Dream: chased by the Dajjal soldiers

Dream:

Salam, alhamdulillahirobil’alamin,Allahumma sholi ‘ala sayyidina muhammad wa’ala ali sayyidina muhammad, I hope Mawlana Syec Nazim and Syech Hisyam always on good condition..
I had a dream pursued by Dajjal soldiers, they will kill me, then some people came to help me escape. I hid in a cave, and I met the Imam Mahdi ministers, they tried to save me and hide me. They told me that I should always be hidden. What does this dream mean?

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

Being hidden means running away from position of leadership and keeping humble with love of Mawlana inwardly and outwardly.

Insha-Allah this is showing your spiritual progression from the lower ego (“they are like cattle- no they are even more misguided” Surat  al-A`raf 7:179) to the perfected ego under control of your soul, the white-winged horse which is your buraq taking you to your spiritual destination. Mabruk.
