Dream: Same person smiling

Dream:

Es-Selamu-Aleykum
I see a lot of dreams. Lately I see in many of them the same person of opposite sex smiling at me. I like to get closer to her but I miss her always.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

In a dream a woman usually represents the material world with glitter and pleasure.

Dream: Dreaming about the animal kingdom

Dream:

I heard Mawlana Shaykh Hisham HafidhAllahu’s voice reciting the most beautiful, rhythmic dhikr. During this enchanting dhikr, scenes like a camera reel passed in front of my eyes, scenes of beautiful animals grazing peacefully on God’s lush green earth. Scene after scene of groups of beautiful animals. Since this dream I have been desperately trying to recall this most pleasing melodic dhikr, wishing to hear it again maybe even to recite it …SubhanAllah.

A few years ago I started studying and admiring birds. I thought of what Mawlana would have to say about this pursuit. That night I dreamt that I saw a bird flying overhead and when I looked as it flew the wings moved in such a way that they spelt Allah in Arabic.

Shukrlillah walhamdulillah for being blessed with the presence of the ahlul bayt. Allahumma Salle ala Muhammadinw wa ala aale Muhammad.

Interpretation:

Walaikum Assalam,

Allah said in His Holy book: “Verily  the only purpose for creating man, is for man to worship Allah”. Mawlana is showing you in the dream, that through the recitation of the dhikr, everything will be in harmony, peace and beauty”. And when the seeker’s eyes are open, all things in creation will be seen as signs of our Lord’s Greatness.

Celebrating Easter

Question:

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem,
Salaatu was Salaamu alaiyka Sayidina RasoolUllah.
As-Salaamu alaiykum,

Please could you let me know the etiquettes for celbrations such as Easter.
Thankyou. I am suffering from anger, please could you pray for me.
Jazaka Allah khairun.
Ma Salaam.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

We, Muslims, do not celebrate Easter. We go about our lives as usual.

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will be praying for you. For anger, recite Ya Haleem 100 times, Ya Lateef 100 times, Astaghfirullah 100 times. If you feel the urge to react to something or someone in anger, stop and think about your intended actions and their consequences first.

Prayer Request: Marital issue

Request:

AOA. My name is [private]. I am a banker and was based in UAE until Jan 2011. I have since relocated to Pakistan. Since Oct 2010, I have lost my job and my wife [private] has left me with my daughter [private].

I have tried 2 times reconcile but her and her family’s attitude has not been positive. At the the same time that I want my daughter to come back, I am not sure that [private] is the right life partner, given her insincerity at my time of need.

I need your guidance as I am v confused. Can I kindly request you to ask Sheikh Nazim Haqqani to pray for me to (a) resolve the marital issue, only if my wife will be sincere to me in the future and (b) find a good job in Pakistan.

Thank you.

Response:

Salam alaykum,
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will ask Mawlana Shaykh Nazim regarding your case. Allah Most High may give you better on both counts of job and spouse, as well as your daughter. Recite Hasbuna Allah, Rabbuna Allah 100 times each day.

Very urgent: Syria

Question:

Salam 3aleikom brother There is a revolution beginning in Syria and I need to know Mawlana advices and vision(s) about Syria. What do he thinks we can/must do peacefuly but clearly now near to prayers? Also I need to know if Mawlana gives us permission to fast for Freedom. Every day till regime in Syria fall down. Monday and Thursday only? Another day? Men and women? Please very urgent! Please ask Mawlana to pray for us and for Syria. Your brother, [private]

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam, Mawlana is praying for the Ummah East and West, especially the holy lands including Sham ash-Sharif. Mawlana has said it not once or a hundred times but thousands of times, do not get involved in politics. Make a revolution against your ego. Mawlana repeats the advice of Rasulullah (upon him blesings and peace) that in times of fitna, keep to your homes and your prayer rug. And we do not fast for freedom but we fast for Allah Most High. Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.

Postponed Nikah

Question:

Asalamualaikum
My marriage was fixed by my parents almost two years ago. Since then I have come to know my future husband inevitably and we both expressed our desire for a nikah to be done early. This was because we knew there would be a long wait until the formal wedding and it is not easy being ‘engaged’ for so long especially in the West. When the marriage proposal initially came I did do istikhara and as things were agreed upon I was confident inshallah it would all be for the best. I feel really stuck with my family refusing to even consider the idea of nikah and being in a situation where, although everything began the right way with the right intention, I feel like I’m in a relationship I shouldn’t be in due to the waiting period. Is there anything that can be done in such a situation?

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

Prayer Request: prayer request for a friend to return

Request:

I had a friend who i was close with ( a non muslim) but when people found out (Jealous people) and after sept the 11th he started to distance himself. can you tell me if there is a duwa or istakhara i can do or can you do for me so that i can understand why i have lost in touch. was it destiny or was it because of evil people. Please can you guide me i really was you guidance as i always though i would one day marry him but instead i feel confused why this happened?

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Perhaps it was destiny to take you away from that man and so you could focus towards someone who is Muslim and would benefit you for your hereafter. 10 years is far too long to be pining after a lost love, so better to move on and Allah knows best.
