Prayer Request: My parents’ issues

Request:

Assalamo alaikum,
Thank you for this website and hearing the problems of those of us who can’t come to you. It is honestly Allah’s blessing on us.

My mother wants a house of her own and not live in rented houses, be it in our village or city. Please pray that my father builds her a house with Allah’s Will. She is very depressed and lost hope. My parents are happy with each other and talk with respect but there is lack of communication on serious issues, both of them convey to us problems that we talk to the other parent about it. Another problem is that for as long as I can remember my father has told us we have black magic. Can you please guide us in this regard and pray for us?
Can I also have a dua to recite on both of them?

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Be sure to recite the tasbih after every Salat (subhan Allah x33, al-hamdu lillah x33, Allahu akbar x33) and give sadaqa frequently, even small.

Recite the Salat al-tibbiyya, and recite Ya Wadud x100 every day.

For black magic see: “Prayer Request: Please make dua for my mother” and “Black magic and nazar

Anxiety

Question:

Assalamu aleikum,
I have problems with anxiety when I am in stressful situations. Sometimes the anxiety causes me not to sleep and I lose weight because my stomach hurts and I vomit what I eat.

Can you please recommend some prayers or tasbeeh that will help when I become overly anxious? Thank you very much.

Salam

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Recite Ya Lateef x100 daily and the Salat al-Tibbiyya:

اللهُمّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّد
طِبِّ القُلُوبِ وَدَوائِها
وَعَافِيَةِ الأَبْدَانِ وَ شِفَائِهَا
وَنُورِ الأَبْصَارِ وَالْبَصَائِرِ وَضِيَائِهَا
وَرُوحِ الأَرْوَاحِ وَغِذَائِهَا
وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَبَارِكْ وَسَلِّمْ

Allahumma Salli `ala Sayyidina Muhammadin
Tibbi ‘l-qulubi wa dawaa’iha
Wa `afiyati ‘l-abdaani wa shifaa’iha
Wa nuri ‘l-absari wa ‘l-basa’ir wa diya’iha
Wa ruh al-arwah wa ghidha’iha
Wa `ala Alihi wa Sahbihi wa Barik wa-Sallim.

O Allah, our Lord! Send blessings on our master Muhammad,
The medicine of hearts and their cure,
The health of bodies and their healing,
The light of eyes and insights and their illumination,
The soul of souls and their food,
And upon his family and companions, and send peace.

Prayer Request: Great Difficulty, Stress and Fear

Request:

Ya Seyyedi Wa Murshadi Maulana Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani,
Asslamoo Alaikum Wa Rehmatullah Wa Barakatuhu,

May Allah bless you and your family with His immense blessings and high stations.

I am a mureed of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Adil Haqqani Qudussarah and you. Thank you very much for your earlier prayers and blessings. Currently I am running a small development organization and facing severe problems in its management and working. Two years back we got some funding from a foreign donor for a project, but there were some management issues which annoyed the donor and they broke ties with us. They have demanded the funds back which we don’t have and actually spent on the organization. Now some Govt. agencies are pursuing us. We are feeling extreme fear and stress. Please help us and pray for us to get out of this extreme difficulty. Please take this request as urgent.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you in sha Allah.

Recite Hasbuna Allah Rabbuna Allah x1000 daily. In sha Allah a solution will be found.

Dream: My Close Friend’s Dream about me

Dream:

Hey in short I love a girl and her sister has seen a dream about me. I make her sister (the grl I love) pregnant before marriage and neglect to admit the big mistake I did and the sister was so aggressive in her dream with me.

I am scared because I really follow Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah and strict guidelines!!

please explain

Interpretation:

Introduce yourself to her family formally and ask for her hand in marriage. By following the halal steps outlined by the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) your will bring blessing through elderly approval and build up your and her future in sha Allah.

Letter to Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

Asalamalaikum wr wb, Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani.

I am a very gullible and naive person and believe in ghaib hearing and seeing. I want to declare that I am not a wali Allah and only a Muslim. I only want to follow Quran and Sahih Bukhari. I am really affraid of Allah. All Bukhari Hadis is sahih because protected by salat isthikarah.

Please forgive my wrong doings to you and all other people that read my email.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

As Allah Most High commanded, we follow and obey Allah and the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace). His hadiths are protected by Allah Most High, not human beings. Allah has given us a way to check what is reliable through the agreement of the Ummah because the Ummah is protected also. And generally speaking the reliable books are what is known as the Nine Books, namely: Muwatta’ Malik, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan of al-Nasa’i, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi, and Musnad Ahmad. You should also be reassured that we are in good hands.

Prayer Request: Loss my original documents

Request:

I lost my first husband 14 years ago. I had two children with him and they are 18 and 15 years old. I met my present “husband” online 6 years ago. He is a Shiia Muslim and I trusted him completely He is from US and he was “helping me process mine my children’s visas to immigrate and be with him. After many attempts of trying to process visas, he asked me to send him my original documents. I did this in November 2010. After I sent my documents, he stopped communicating with me completely. His family too refused to respond to my mail and phone calls. He has details of my property and financial status and I don’t know what he is up to because I am a Kenyan living in Ethiopia and not in touch with my property details right now.

Response:

I will pray for you.
