Dream: Heard a child praising Allah

Dream:

As Salam o Alaikum
I was just having a regular dream – nothing special. Then I started hearing a child reciting a form of the 1st Kalimah. He was constantly repeating it (and also adding praises for Allah and his Prophet (s)) – just not in the usual order, but rather mixing the words around to make them sound more melodious. (I dont know arabic). I couldnt see or hear anything other than this

The child was a boy – sounded barely adolescent. The way he recited it was filled with tremendous sadness and the hope of eventual happiness and salvation. I was aware that tears had started flowing out of my eyes – but I was crying calmly, not uncontrollably. It only lasted for about 15 seconds, because I woke up, the tears still in my eyes, the sadness and hope and eventual happiness still lingered.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

That child is your soul in its spiritual form, reciting the praises and glorification which were written for it to do as worship on the Day of Promises and Allah knows best. Crying is a sign of joy, and insha-Allah you will continue to receive inspirations from that heavenly connection due to your constancy in spiritual practices.

Job Interview

Question:

Salam,

I just had my 4th interview for a promotion for the same position. Although I spend much time preparing for it upon reflection I don’t think I did well. Although the result is not out yet but I feel that I have let many people including myself down. I have been feeling very sad lately and keep thinking on how I could have done it differently. Please advise on what I can do if I don’t get the position and please pray for me.

JazakAllah,
Thank you for listening and your response…

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

In reality all such exams, tests and interviews are only to prepare our mindset and our heartset for akhira, when we will face a far tougher set of interviews, exams and tests.

Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is praying for your promotion.

Intend to slaughter 3 sacrifices (goat or sheep) in your home country to distribute to the poor if you succeed: one on behalf of Sayyidina Muhammad (s), one for Shah Bahauddin Naqshband (q) and one for Sayyida Nafisa at-Tahira (q).

Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.

Recite Ya Fattah 100x and Ya Razzaq 100x daily. Intend, if you get that good job, to slaughter 3 sheep and distribute the meat to the poor in your home country or anywhere.

Do I have permission to come to Cyprus

Question:

As-salaam alaykum,
I hope you are all well and in good health. I recently had 2 dreams interpreted by you which indicated that my destiny is to do bayah with Shaykh Nazim may Allah keep him in good health. I recently had another dream which was similar and indicated the same meaning. Therefore do I have permission to come to Cyprus and who do I contact. I am thinking of a short visit at end of June or early July.
Jazakallah.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

You may make baya` online until you have the opportunity to make baya` directly with Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani through his representative.

Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is giving permission to visit Mawlana Shaykh insha-Allah. See Sufilive.com website for directions from the airport.

Dream: Lost love

Dream:

I am 40 yr old unmarried. Last yr I loved a nonmuslim man, but he could not come to Islam. I left him. I still love him.

Dream1: he was trying to call me because he was in trouble. I tried to answer but another girl did not let me talk to him.

Dream2: he was sleeping beside me while holding my hand on top of his heart.

Dream3: I’m looking for him, but he was gone away on a train; he left a note saying “I love you.”

Dream4: someone says, “when he calls you some day, don’t ignore him, go to him and try to talk to him.”

I make dua that he see the light of Allah and returns Islamically. I ask Allah give me peace in my heart and healing, so I forget. I want to marry and have babies. Does the man still love me?

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

The dreams indicate he still loves you, but is caught up in dunya, which prevents him from accepting Islam. Insha-Allah he will eventually come seeking Islam through you.  As to waiting for that to marry, it is likely to be a waste of your time, and you don’t want to end up regretting missing other opportunities to marry, as time is swiftly passing. You did the right thing, no doubt Allah will send someone better in his stead, as He swt said:

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا

{And for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.} (at-Talaq, 65:4)

And Allah knows best,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you, insha-Allah.

Help needed!

Question:

Assalamoalaikum. I am a mother of a 1 year old daughter. Ever since I gave birth I have noticed some behavioural changes in me that have been scaring me. I get angry very often and I find it hard to control. I usually end up spanking my daughter and sometimes hold her very tightly and shake her a bit and I start shouting at her. But as soon as I’m done I suddenly feel extremely guilty and start crying. I don’t know what to do about this anger. Sometimes I feel that I’m not myself when i’m like this and I get scared that I might hurt my daughter. Is there something I can do or recite to help control my anger? Please help me. Thank you very much.

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is praying for you, but this is so serious, you need immediate intervention, to prevent harming your baby after which no amount of repentance will help. The best is to have someone with you at all times, mother, sister, etc. who is aware of your condition and who can help you with the baby so you don’t get into this dangerous state.

Else you need to seek professional psychiatric help immediately to get your anger under some kind of reasonable control.

Recite Ya Halim x100 and Ya Samad x500 daily. Whenever you feel anger welling up, go make fresh ablution and pray 2 raka`ats, and again recite Ya Halim until the anger goes down.

Dream: A sign from the Almighty

Dream:

Asalaam alaikum, I had a dream recently where i see all of my in-laws who are from pakistan but now residing in England there all packing there bags in a rush to go back to their hometown,as everyones being told to leave the UK? i’m also in the dream & being friendly to a jewish couple whos house i’m residing at in the dream,but they ask me to leave it feels like they have broken a treaty.I quicky run upstairs & pick up my green toothbrush from their bathroom, in reality i do not own a green toothbrush. Ya saddi does this dream mean eveyone is going back to there final gathering as mentioned in a Hadith? and a treaty being broken? please do forgive me for jumping to conclusions & may allah reward here & the hereafter for your time & energy. Jazak allah khayr

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

It means what you understood, preparation for the final events of the Last Days, where people will return to their origins, physically and spiritually. The believers will gather in Sham under the banner of Sayyidina al-Mahdi and await the descent of Sayyidina `Isa (as) who will come from heavens on the arms of two angels at the Ummayad Mosque at Fajr time. He will then confront the Anti-Christ, who by then will have conquered all the world but Mecca, Madina and Jerusalem.

and Allah knows best,
