Posted on May 27, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Dear Sheikh,

i’m pregnant and my boss has told me that he cant handle paying my maternity leave and that he want s me to leave work.we resently moved out of my mum inlaws house now on rent. how will we survive?
please pray for me or tell me what to pray.
salaams
sis in islam,

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Your boss is trying to cheat you by making you quit, then he doesn’t have to pay maternity leave, which no doubt is obligated by law in your country. Don’t quit, force him to lay you off and if that happens you are in position to pursue your benefits.

Recite: hasbunallah wa ni`ama ‘l-wakeel 70 x daily for Divine support.

Dream: Breastfeeding

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Salamz

My friend saw a dream in which she was breastfeeding her own baby and in the dream she wasn’t sure if she would b able to produce milk. She was actually confused. As soon as she brought her son close to her..her brother came or some other reason she was not getting chance to feed him, but she kept trying and finally she managed and she could see milk in her baby’s mouth…

This is the second time that she saw that she’s breast feeding her own baby even though she’s not married.

JazakAllahu khairan

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

Breastfeeding in dream points to limitation of one’s freedom because the milk nurse cannot go anywhere until the baby has finished nursing. Her brother appears to want to keep her free from marriage and starting a family, and Allah knows best.

Dream: Beer

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Asalamalykum wr wb, in my dream I was drinking a yellowish beer and I got light headed and my uncle was criticizing me for doing that in my dream.
The morning I awoke after this dream, my hopes for something came crashing down. So I was wondering if someone prays for me, as I’m going through some difficult times. jazakallahkhair, I very much appreciate anything, aslamalykum.
please kiss Sheikh Hisham’s hands from my side, and Mawlana Sheikh Nazim saib’s.

Interpretation:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

Drinking intoxicant in a dream points to haram income easily obtained or any type of corrupt activity in real life. Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you.

Prayer Request: Cyst

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Assalam o Alaikum

Some time ago, through one of Moulana Sheikh Nazim’s mureed’s in America, my mother was advised to rub a mixture of vinegar and olive oil on her stomach area for a cyst that had appeared there. She was also advised by MSN to recite 100 times each Durood Shareef and Hasbun Allah hu wa naimalwakeel.
Recently the cyst has reappeared, so she is asking should she repeat the same zikr/method for it, and I am also requesting MSN and Moulana Sheikh Hisham Kabbani to please pray for her health and long life.

Thank You, May God’s blessings be upon our Holy Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.) and Moulana Sheikh Nazim and Moulana Sheikh Hisham,

Response:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

Continue to follow qualified medical advice. Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you and your mother. Feed the poor on a regular basis and give sadaqa to the intention of healing and, yes, you may continue to follow Mawlana’s instructions.

How to increase Rizk – salary – earnings

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

As-Salaam-aleikum,
I am financially hard pressed. I am a Computer Professional – Oracle DBA working in the US.
My Kids go to Islamic school and the fees are very high, almost unaffordable.
I am Alhamdollilah living hand to mouth.
I have realized and very sad feeling over the past 15 years I am in US ,though I work so hard and religiously , I have never got my compensation to what I really deserve.
Please provide with some amal or Vazeefa or Zikr which would help me increase my financial position and Increase my Rizq and Salary in particular. My current imperfect human reasoning has just blanked my mind as to how can I increase my finance. I think only some Divine Gaibi help from Allah can help. As it is said Allah helps His servants from quarters he may have never thought of.
Jazakallah.

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

May Allah Most High grant you and us forgiveness for what we deserve and goodness here and hereafter. Give Him gratitude and insha-Allah He will increase you in all that you need. Give sadaqa to the poor however small, avoid sin and recite Ya Lateefu Ya Razzaq every day 100 times.

What to do?

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

aslmalykum ya mumin

Jazakallah for trying to assist me and listening to my concerns.

I married young and close to Ramadaan month. in the month of Ramadaan myself and spouse unfortunately committed error of being intimate while fasting (having intercourse). How do we go about making istighfaar for these occurances and correct the mistake? I understand that they say fast consecutive months but that would mean unveiling the error…it would concern people in the household and friends. out of haya it seems like a difficult predicament. please adivse us?

peace and light. May Allah keep us on the straight path. Ameen

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Perhaps part of the expiation prescribed by Allah is the aspect of embarrassment, so this cannot be helped, and Allah knows best.

See the Post “How to expiate for breaking fast deliberately?”
