This was a wali from the family of Sayyidina `Ali (Allah be well-pleased with him) advising you to read Surat al-Isra’ which is also known as Surat Bani Isra’il, and Allah knows best.

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.

See the post Shaykh Gibril: “To stop caring and forget

Staying home after Maghrib

Question:

Salaam Ya Sayedi and all at Eshaykh.

Regarding the Sohbah given to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham [r.a] Mawlana Shaykh Nazim [r.a] said that all must stay in the home after Maghrib.

a few questions arise such as, what if someones income in by working at night? or an emergency comes that you have to go out at night? As well as this there are many factors that you need to go out at night. However, if we try to eliminate as much as we can to go out at night will this be acceptable?

Also going to meet family freinds and relatives or even zikr mehfils after maghrib, is this allowed? could you please clarify this matter as much as possible for us commoners.

Plz member me in your duas.

JazakhAllah Khair.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

The title of the talk is ‘Address to Jordanian Delegation: Heed this Warning!’. For what reason do you apply this country-specific order to yourself? This may be due to the turmoil occurring there or other reasons.

Dhikr majlis and attendance of the mosque in general was excused as mentioned by Shaykh Hisham in the  Post “Going out in evening” and “Working Mothers“.

Dream Interpretation

Dream:

Assalam-alaikum,
A guest had visited my friend after a long time. The very next day he dreamt that my friend is sitting next to dustbin in a black abaya which was torn and shes crying a lot. then he sees that some ppl clean that area and light fire on the same place around her while she is still sitting. My friend has requested to intrepret this dream for her.
JazakAllah.

Interpretation:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

Sitting by a dustbin in torn clothes means zuhd, asceticism and rejection of dunya, and the people cleaning and lighting a fire there means purification by awliyaullah and being raised to the station of a Lover of Allah, `ashiqeen. Insha-Allah the reality of that station will be reflected on your friend in waking life.
