Dream: Visit to mawlana Shaykh nazim place

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Dr. Abdul Karim

Dream:

Assallamualaikum,
Dream : i & my sister went to visit mawlana, located at a very high mountain. We were waiting to talk to mawlana and noticed people asking him questions. i intended not to ask questions but ask for mawlana barakah, then he told us we can go back. We wanted to leave(go back home) but not able to find way out. also saw some murids making food using firewood. then we came to a place exit, a very steep narrow staircase downwards filled with shits/dirts. There was a lady n man at the end of staircase who wanted to come up but when they saw the dirty staircase they left. We left to look for another exit but unable to find way out. Was worried if we cant go back home how to survive in mawlana place and dont have sufficient money to support our stay there. Dream ended.

Interpretation:

a`udhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem

Alhamdulillah, you are keeping good adab in the dream and coming to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim asking for blessings. Too much questioning is a sign of doubt and your intention of seeking baraka will bring you the best reward. Your dream coincides with what Mawlana Shaykh Nazim was saying in his suhbat this week regarding people not coming to visit him in Cyprus for more than three days due to the general climate of turmoil and uncertainty in the world. Mawlana also said to keep 40 days supply of food in your house. The people at the bottom of the stairs show those who are not coming on this spiritual way, unwilling to pass through hardship or difficulty to reach a spiritual treasure. May Allah keep us all safe with Mawlana’s baraka and prayers.

Dream: Surah Yasin(saw)

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Imam Ismaeel Dhul-Qarnayn

Dream:

Assalamu Alaykum wr wb Beloved Mawlana, Hajjah and Staff,

I woke up a little before Dawn, reciting a Surah( I realized it was Surah Yasin(saw), deep in my Heart, and then a voice deep within me said ‘Fatima”. It was male voice! I kept reaping -repeating, parts of Surah Yasin, over and over again. Then it was time for Tahajjud Prayer, Murakabah, and Fajr Prayer!

Mawlana, Endless Love to Sultan ul Awliya(Q),to you Mawlana, Hajjah, and all the family including our Naqshi family! Ameen!!!

Interpretation:

Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem
Allahuma Salli `ala Muhammad

As-Salamu `Alaykum,

Reading of the Quran in dream is a sign of happiness, honor, and divine assistance. Particularly the reading of Surah Yasin is a sign of obtaining favors of the dunya and creation having a good favor of him and that he/she is among those who purify themselves and his/her religion is without blemish.

And Allah knows best

Sallu `alayh,

Ismaeel Dhul-Qarnayn

We both took bayah about 3 yrs ago. He & I would like to come in a few months to visit the Sheikh. Allah bless u thank u.

Go ahead and if the parents are accepting don’t delay. Insha-Allah it will be a good marriage.

shaving newborn’s hair

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

salam `alaykum,

Is it required for Naqshbandis to shave their newborn babies’ hair? My grandmother was objecting since we have a girl.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Shaving head of the babies is not a Naqshband rule, it is an Islamic Shari`ah rule. When baby is born after 7 days one should shave the hair, as the hair is connected with womb of mother, and in Shari`ah when you touch that hair which is growing it requires you to make new wudu. That is why shaving is necessary. And the Prophet (s) said you have to shave head of your children, boys and girls, and then weigh the hair and whatever the weight comes give that amount of silver equals to the weight of the hair as sadaqa. That might be 1 or 2 grams of silver. That is a Sunni and Shi`a rule, not a Naqshbandi rule.

Now if you don’t want to make the grandmother upset, just cut from top of the hair here and there a little and that is enough to fulfill this rule.

Prayer Request: matrimonial problem

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Request:

askm,
please pray for me, i know the word divorce is that which allah himself does not like and i also do not want to get it .but some unavoiding circumstances have been and are still being created by my father-in-law, due to which i start to object to,and it becomes the reason of our disputes.his father does not give space to our relationship, his father thinks my only duty is to make food and serve it. we were not allowed to go out alone and spend some time after marriage, the consequences of which is that my husband becomes habitual of seeing my presence in the home, now does not care about me. my husband is very namazi, recite durood taaj 1000 times a day, some extra ibaadat which is recommended by his father so we also have communication gap, whenever i want to talk him, he does not reply.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam

First of all I am answering you not culture-wise but Shari`ah-wise. The only one that you are allowed to hear from him is your husband.

Second, the only thing expected from you Shari`ah-wise is to look after your children and your husband’s necessities. So listening to your husband’s father and what he does is second priority and is not an obligation. That cannot be imposed by force but only by acceptance and tolerance.

You said your husband is praying too much and reciting Darood Taj 1000 times and while `ibadah is important in human life and saves you from hellfire, still he has to know that marriage is half of the religion according to the Prophet (s). And if he has wudu and touches your hand Allah takes sins from him, that is one of the secrets of marriage. Both sides when they are together, after doing their worship obligations, by having that relationship it takes sins away. That must come first, then he can do extra voluntary worship.

Now culture-wise they think a wife comes only to clean and to cook and they want her to do everything as if they never cooked in their life and never cleaned. Before they got married who was cooking and cleaning? This is a problem that many people face.

My opinion is that if you are able to keep patient ok, and if not then you must openly discuss this issue with your husband. If there is no way to keep like this, then you have to ask from your husband a separate house, and he has to provided it according to Shari`ah, sakanun shari`, a legitimate legal house for the wife, separate from the whole family.

w ‘Allahu `alam

Prayer Request: legal papers husband to stay

Posted on March 12, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Request:

Salaam aleikum honerable ones

Forgive me, I am weak and torn inside, please pray for us, for my husband to get the legal papers so he can stay with me in my country, since i would follow him anywhere but my children are here and still need me. Every time something just does not work, we are married Islam way, normal way, try to do everything within the law and pray but of course we are weak, so what we do wrong? What sin we committed? Who, or what is holding this back? Alla Karim. Forgive me…i know i should have patience and trust, accept Allah’s will because who can be against it if Allah wants it…or not.

Forgive me, but please could you pray for legal papers for my husband.Thank you so much.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah with Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani’s baraka and the Prophet’s (s) intercession Allah will make it easy for you to come out of this difficult position.

Recite every day 700x istaghfiruallah to remove all obstacles preventing your husband’s work and both of you should do that and insha-Allah all will be beter.

Hajj Gibril Haddad
