Prayer Request: Pray for my Family

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Request:

First and foremost I would like to send my salaam to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hisham and pray to Allah that he showers his blessings on both your families and Grandshaykh’s family also.

I am new user of eshaykh and this is an amazing setup, so many people benefiting from this alhamdulilah

Secondly I would like to ask for forgiveness, as I am not the best of mureeds and very low in adaab.

Please can you pray for me and my family in these testing times, pray that Allah keeps us guided and with those who are guided and inshallah to be with Mahdi (A.S.)

Forgive me for any disrepect

Salaam

Fasting

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Ustadh Mohammad Razif Mohammad Yusuf

Question:

Assalamou alaikoum,
A woman was pregnant and she couldn’t fast the whole Ramadan. After that she gave breast feeding for about two years. She could have fasted the days missed during or at least after breast feeding, but she didn’t. Now she begins to fast the missed days. The question is because she fasts the missed days not on time, does she has to pay for each day? And if yes how much has she have to pay for each day?
Jazakoum alahou khayeran wassalam

Answer:

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

wa `alaykum salam,

Yes, she has to pay fidya. For the first year that she has missed fasting until another Ramadan appears, she has to pay fidya for each day a “mudd” (750 grams) of staple food of the area she is in (e.g. rice, wheat,barley). If she did not make up the fast until another Ramdan comes, the amount is then doubled.

Allah knows best.

Dream: Nightmare

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

Assalaam Alaykum,

In the Ramadan Night of 1995 I had a nightmare. Something started to move in my body and I see that my friend is committing bad acts. Then I see my cousin has quit talking to me and I am like in house arrest. Then I see my face has turned black and started to offer prayers day and night in a dark room and asking Allah’s forgiveness. Then see that an orange python is seen on my right side when I am in salah. See myself running madly shouting “Ghouse-e-Paak” with my hands in front of me and something like the jinns chasing me with swords in their hands. Also the sound of bells like in temple was heard. Suddenly woke up with a start and sweating all over and my eyes rested on a green garment which was lying in front of me.

Interpretation:

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

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

This is a nice dream because it indicates seclusion, praying day and night in a dark room.  They are chasing all the hidden idols out of your heart and at the end you reach to the Presence of the Holy Prophet (s), represented by the green garment.   The python recalls an experience of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s pir, Grandshaykh Abdallah Daghestani (q):

Before each prayer, I was obliged to take a cold shower. There was, of course, no running water, so I had to use melted snow for showering. As I was about to stand up to wash for prayer, I found that facing me was the head of a snake, which had encircled me completely. Its head was poised so that any movement out of fear would cause him to strike me. I didn’t give that snake any importance. I knew if I felt any fear, it would attack. So in my mind I made it to be nonexistent. I could not take a shower with the snake wrapped around me, but the Shaykh’s order had to be followed. So I poured the water over my clothes and over the snake. For forty days that snake remained wrapped around me. When I was praying, it would move its head to allow for my prostrations. For forty days, that snake kept watch, looking for any mistake or fear, to attack me. This test from my Shaykh, to see if I had fear of any but Allah, finally ended and that snake began to unwind itself from around me. It sat for a while in front of me. Then it disappeared.

[end quote Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah Daghestani]

Covering aurah

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Aziz Hussein

Question:

I know that in Islam, women who reach baligh, need to cover their aurah from non-mahram except for their mahram. But I’m not ready to cover it and make a commitment. What should I do?

Answer:

We all pray that our `ibadah and our iman constantly increase and that Allah gives us the strength to be vigilant in our obligations. Pray to Allah that He makes it easier for you to fulfill your obligations and that you are able to make that commitment.

Dream: Myself in Paradise with 2 men and Quran

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

Dearest Shaykh, Assalamu alaykum,

Many years ago, I saw in a dream, myself in Paradise in an elevated position with possibly a large Quran in my hand and on the right was a doctor, (who was my doctor in childhood in reality). He was talking to me and on my other side was a young and attractive Pakistani man. We were all very well dressed in Western clothes and very pleased to be in Paradise. The Western doctor had a small section of white hair on the front of his head.

Please could you interpret this for me? Humbly yours.

Interpretation:

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

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

The doctor here shows the wali who has been guiding you throughout your life.  Inheriting from the Prophet (s) spiritually and physically, he is standing on your right side, and the Quran is in your right hand illustrating the hadith: “I left two things amongst you which if you hold to them you will not go astray: Allah’s Book and my Ahl al-Bayt.”  The white wisp of hair shows the inheritance of Prophetic light shining in his brow.  His guidance  has been with you throughout your life and will take you all the way to your final station in Paradise. Wa’Allahu a`lam.

Dream: Prophet(AS)’s sandal

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

This is a dream of my husband.
There was a white tent and Mawlana Sheykh Nazim was in it. Other murids and me entered the tent and Mawlana gave us a case. Inside the case there was a flag, and the buckle of the Prophet(AS)’ sandal was inside the flag. I could see the buckle with all its details and the dream finish.

Interpretation:

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

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

The white tent shows the nur and purity of the Naqshbandi Sufi Way, lead in our time by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim.  He is inheriting the inward and outward way of the Prophet (s) and spreading this knowledge through the hearts of his followers. Wa’Allahu a`lam.

Dream: Shaykh Nazim

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Dream:

Assalamualikum,

Firstly I am really sorry for the previous question I asked which was rude. I am sorry.

My dream:
In my dream I saw Shaykh Nazim sitting in his chair and I was helping him massage his leg like how I used to massage my grandmother’s leg (she is already dead). I was not alone I was with another person( he one leg, I one leg).

A few days before this dream I made “something like a promise” that both Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hisham will be my grandfathers. ( I really like my real grandfather but he died before I was even born).

Please help me interpret this dream. May Allah bless us all.

Jazakallah!

Interpretation:

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

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

wa `alaykum salam,

These dreams indicate your baya`, loyalty, and how they are your spiritual grandparents.

Wa’Allahu a`lam.

Dream: Offering from Dajaal

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

Audhu billahi mina shaytan ir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim,
asalaamwale kum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu dear blessed Mawlana Shaykh Hisham and all eShaykh members, I am a Mureeda and know a sister who is NOT a mureeda. She had a dream that we were both walking and someone came to us offering us something (she got the feeling in the dream that it was the Dajaal). The sister took it and was walking but when he asked me to also take it but I refused to take it and on seeing that I refused, she gave it back to him and felt better. Insha’Allah we would be very grateful for your interpretation. Please remember us in your duas and forgive our shortcomings.wasalam

Interpretation:

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

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

wa `alaykum salam,

It is a sign for her to do the opposite of what Dajjal wants, and a sign of your guidance through your Shaykh’s baraka. Wa Allahu ‘alam.

Prayer Request: PLEASE HELP ME YA SAYEEDY!

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Dr. Hesham Bazaraa

Request:

Asalamalaykum wr wb, I am lost in life, everything I looked forward too didn’t work out. Everything I wanted I didn’t get, I prayed a lot to Allah swt. Allah swt knows best. I am lost in life and hopeless, please Sayeedy pray for a change for me, give me hope again to life in happiness as I wanted and maybe even better with my family and of course our Sheikhs, may Allah swt raise you all. Please I need dua and madad, what do I do? It seems nothing is working and it’s the same thing day in and day out. My hopes for my life are gone :( Aslamalaykum!

Response:

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem,

wa `alaykum salam,

May Allah make your life easy and safe and happy for you, and grant you success here and in the hereafter. I will forward your prayer requests to Mawlana. We should try to remember that the ETERNAL life is so much more than this life that it makes this life worthless in comparison. If we are patient with it all our troubles will most surely come to an end with Allah’s Blessings. As in the words of our beloved Messenger “Allah tests the ones He loves”. Allah loves you and if this dunya [world] was worth anything He would have given you more of it. All Allah’s saints have lost hope in this worldy life because they only care about being with Allah and His Prophet{SAWS} at all times. Since we are still struggling with it, it helps to be close to Allah’s saints as much as possible. With Allah’s permission they can help us to reach that peace of mind and heart and the spiritual presence in this life.
