Syed marriages

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Asalam o laykum

Please Sheikh Nazim. Many syed girls are suffering for being born Syeds. Please pray that this sect rule changes.

Thanks

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Allah is Most Generous. Be proud to be Sayyid and do not ask to change their status. Say instead: may Allah make it easy, and change the hearts of parents who are making difficulties for dunya reasons. Sayyids have to be proud to be Sayyids and the Ummah is proud of them.

Dream: Bugs, Dates and a baby

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Assalammu’alaykum ya Sayyidi,
I had a dream in which I was struggling to remove bugs (there were quite a bit) with a vacuum cleaner. I noticed among the bugs were (fruit)dates. I thought that was strange in the dream. I felt saddened in the dream. Then a different scene I was at my cousin’s house and I heard a baby crying. I asked who’s baby is that as my cousin’s kids are quite old. I cannot remember what I was told but I was going to see the baby but then the scene changed and did not get to see the baby. I also feel like in a different scene I said ‘ya Allah’ it was outside like a playground but this scene I cannot remember properly. May Allah(swt) forgive me for any mistakes or misunderstandings. Jazakallah for your time and effort.

Interpretation:

`Alaykum as-salam,
Bugs stand for rizq while baby signifies worries. Your sadness will turn to joy insha-Allah.

Validity of a Muslim marriage

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Asalamualikum,
I have been married for 10 yrs and have a 5 yrs old child. I used to work and my husband took all my money for household expenses saying it is for our betterment. Then when I stopped working he claims his money is his and he feeds me so that is good enough. He verbally abuses me.
In this 10 years he stays in a separate bedroom almost 7 yrs ,though we stayed in the same house. Its been more than 1 year we do not have any physical intimacy.  It is becoming extremely painful for me. He refuses to divorce decently and says I can go away if I want to.Is my marriage still valid, since we do not have any relationship what so ever?
And secondly how can I divorce him?Please let me know. Thank you.

Answer:

Alaykum salam
He is not a good person and you are in your right to leave him. By saying that ‘(you) can go away if (you) want to’, he gave you the right to divorce yourself any moment you choose.

What does seeing Ibrahim in a Dream Signify?

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

I was going through some hard times and one night i saw Ibrahim in a dream, what does this mean? Thank You.

Answer:

Your shaykh granted you a blessing from the blessings that are showering on Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) because you were patient in a trial that was a reflection of one trial that Sayyidina Ibrahim underwent. And Allah knows best.

Dream: threatening

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

auzubillahi min ashaytani rajeem, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Asalaamu alaykum our Masters!

I have intentions of getting married and i saw in a dream that my sister tells me that I will have threatening on my path of marriage and I see stairs going underground representing the path. And i also see a heavy gold clock lying on the ground near the stairs.

Please pray for me that everything goes well and I get married soon to please my Shaykh, Sayyidina Rasoolullah (s) and Allah (swt).

Salaams

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

The only threat on the path of marriage is shaytan’s threat and Allah knows best:

{The Evil one threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly. Allah promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties. And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things.} (Surat al-Baqara, 2:286)

Don’t worry, as the dream showed, the clock is running, but intend to keep our Holy Prophet’s blessed tradition of marriage and fulfill half your faith, and Allah knows best.
