Prayer Request: Legal problems and Taqwa

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

As Salamu Alaikum,
Thank you for this opportunity. May Allah continue to bless you all! My concern has to do with a legal issue that me and my mother are experiencing. I rent a duplex from her and receive government assistance, and according to the laws, that is illegal. Now we may both face legal consequences that will impact our jobs, families, etc., but I am disheartened because I do not feel as if we committed a crime. And this situation is testing my faith in Allah (swt) and this is the most distressing. I want to keep a high opinion of my Lord, but often wonder why am I and my mother allowed to experience this injustice. Any prayers for peace of mind and strengthened Taqwa (in all matters) would be so appreciated!

As Salamu Alaikum

Response:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
Daily over – involvement in dunya pursuits weakens one’s spiritual armor until an attack from Shaytan comes, which in this case is doubt in the Divine decree (qadar). Revive your heart by spending more time with a friend of Allah or a weekly group dhikr and trust in Allah Most High. Give sadaqa and keep your daily wazifa; if you have not taken bay`a with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, do so. Recite 100 times Astaghfirullah and at least 300 times daily Salawat on the Prophet and his Family.

Dream: My Friend’s Vision Of Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

A friend saw Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi in his dream and Shaykh gave him a book and sang a nasheed with him whilst walking to Madinah Al Munawwarah. Then Shaykh said to him, “Ya Sayyidi , my friend is 12 years old”. And as they continued walking they prayed at Madinah.
I think the book was “Fazail – E- Amaal” by Shaykh Illyas Kandhelvi, founder of Tableeghi Jamah or “Shamail Tirmidh”

Interpretation:

Seeing Madina signifies safety, forgiveness, mercy, salvation, deliverance from worries, and a good life here and hereafter by Allah’s permission. The figure 12 here signifies the Mawlid of our Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace), and you should focus on the “Shama’il” of Imam al-Tirmidhi, as Sayyid Muhammad Yaqoubi specializes in teaching that book and recommends it.

Dream: Chances for Divorce

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

askm,
Jazakallah for giving me reply about matrimonial problems. Now I have set up my mind for separation from my husband. In my dreams I saw one of my relatives who has a half-burnt face, and said to me that I had some %(may be 50 or 60%, I forgot) of chances of divorce because she said I have a dark complexion and he has fair complexion. Then I saw my mother, my little daughter and me were in the auto. The road wasn’t looking smooth but my auto was riding smoothly unexpectedly.
allah hafiz

Interpretation:

Salam alaykum,
The dream signifies that after difficulties there will be steady progress to a better state insha-Allah.

Dream: Pious person and money

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Assallamualaikum All.
I saw a local shaykh in my dream; Pir Muhammad Saqib bin Iqbal al Shami. I have never met this shaykh and have only seen a few of their lectures. In my dream people are giving the shaykh money. When it’s my turn and as soon as my hand places the shaykh’s it’s like I enter another realm. Just then I woke up as the feeling was too much. Is there any meaning to this dream? I am confused seeing a pious person must surely be a good sign? But the significance of money is worrying me? Your advice will be very much appreciated, as I know nothing. Thank you for your time.

Interpretation:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
It is as you yourself have said in your question. As for money, it represents talk.

Prayer Request: I want everyone to be good to me and my children

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

My friends and family hate me so much, as someone is giving them negative vibes about me. Please pray for me and my children that everyone is good to us and they ignore the culprit who is saying nasty things about me.

Response:

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you and your children.

People have said bad things about Allah and His Prophet also, but Haqq (right) prevails nevertheless. Every week recite the last verse of Surat at-Tawba 40 times on the night
before Jum`a:

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

Fa-in tawallaw faqul hasbiya Allahu la ilaha illa hu. `Alayhi tawakkaltu
wahuwa rabbu al-`arshi al-`azheem.

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

As Salamu Aleykum,
Mawlana, We thank you always for your support.
My sister is having a lot of personal and academic difficulties in her life recently; one of which came through a thesis. She has made three deposits but each time faces a member of the  jury who is asking her to make some changes. She is tormented by all this while dealing at the same time with her pregnancy, and other personal issues. Can you make dua for her Mawlana so that all of this will be easy for her.

Alfu Alfu salam
Salam aleykum

Response:

`Alaykum as-Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you and your sister. May Allah Most High support you with His unfailing help. Before entering jury let her give sadaqa and pray two raka`at.
