Dream: Repeated dream of my sister

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Salaam alaykum,

Since maybe one year I have been having a dream of my older sister whom of which is serving time in prison. What happens is she is allowed to come out and visit the family on the weekends. Sometimes I see her during her visit and sometimes I miss her due to lack of time & she has to return to jail. Please help me to understand what this means.

Thank you,

Interpretation:

wa ‘alaykum salam

Your sister needs your time and help. Reach out to her and support her to get out of her “ditch”.

W ‘Allahu `alam,

Dream: God is Denied His Rights

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Kindest teachers, a few months ago I emailed the Sufi Center in Berlin for interpretations of dreams I had. Recently, I had the following dream with advice that repeated itself. The first dream: I dreamt I was sitting at a table across Shaykh Ecref Efendi and that he tossed a cup of tea onto my right palm and then read my palm. He then told me (paraphrased): “There are three ways God’s rights are denied through you – one through the stomach, two through the feet, and three through the head (or mouth? I’m uncertain).” The second dream a few weeks later: I saw my mother dressed in black in a black room and she said to me: “God is denied his rights to you by your stomach, your feet, and your mouth.” This dream ended with a young man whispering the name ‘Owais’ to me before I woke up.

Interpretation:

Denying God’s Right through the stomach is from overeating and backbiting; through the feet is through walking towards sin and walking away from goodness; through the  head is by hearing wrong, seeing wrong and speaking wrong.

‘Owais’ is a reference to the Uwaisi connection to a master who has passed on to the afterlife. About this Shaykh Hisham Kabbani wrote, in Classical Islam and the Naqshbandi Sufi Way:

In this form of spiritual transmission, the spirits meet in the world called `alam al-arwah (the world of spirits) which is beyond `alam al-ajsam (the material plane). Whoever takes knowledge through spirituality from a deceased Master in the Naqshbandi Way, is called both Uwaisi and Naqshbandi. That spiritual connection is as powerful and effective as the physical connection.

The sign of the Favor of Allah Almighty and Exalted on his servant is to authorize one of His saints to uplift that servant to the Divine Presence. That is why many saints who came in previous times were guides for those who came after through this spiritual (Uwaysi) connection. It is known that many saints have been under the guidance and training of prophets and other saints that lifted them up.

and Allah knows best.

Ultra sound and cesarean
Échographie et césarienne

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Dr. Hesham Bazaraa

Question:

as-salamu alaykum ya Sayyidi

I am 31 yrs old and expecting my second child. During first pregnancy, I went through a tough time with the doctor because I didn’t want ultra-sound or cesarean. The country I live in has very bad patient-doctor relationships. When I was admitted in the hospital she said the baby is in danger due to less fluid in the womb and she had to make cesarean. I did not agree and requested for artificial inducing of labour but she refused and said I should go som where else. We had to give in as we were pressurized to keep quiet by our mothers.

Doctors are telling me that I will have a cesarean again as my first baby came that way but I can’t imagine that. How can I ensure a normal delivery for this baby and also not get ultra sound?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Allah does not expect each person to fix the health care system in their country or to do the impossible or to be their own physician. Try to find a physician who respects your beliefs and wishes early on and who can work with you on completing a safe pregnancy. Every physician or midwife has a different point of view on practice and insha’Allah you will find one whom you respect and who respects you.

While every surgery can have its complications, surgery in general is allowed in Islam when a trustworthy physician sees it is necessary to avoid worse problems. Since medical care involves a lot of difficult decisions that may need to be counterbalanced, it is important to have a good physician to guide you through.

Dr. Hesham Bazaraa

Question:

as-salamu alaykum ya Sayyidi

J’ai 31 ans et je suis enceinte de mon deuxième enfant. Durant ma première grossesse, j’ai eu des difficultés avec mon docteur car je ne voulais pas faire d’échographie, ni de césarienne. Dans mon pays, la relation entre les patients et les docteurs est très mauvaise. Lorsque j’ai été admis à l’hôpital, la docteur m’a dit que mon enfant était en danger et qu’il devait faire une césarienne car il n’y avait pas assez de fluide dans mon ventre. Je n’étais pas d’accord et je lui ai demandé qu’on provoque l’accouchement mais il a refusé en me disant que dans ce cas je devais ailleurs. Nous avons du céder à cause de la pression de nos mères.

Les docteurs m’ont dit que je devais encore faire une césarienne puisque mon premier enfant était né de cette façon mais je refuse de revivre cela. Comment puis-je faire pour avoir un accouchement normal pour cet enfant et également ne pas faire d.échographie.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Allah ne s’attend pas à ce que que chaque personne résolve les problèmes du système de santé de leur pays, de faire l’impossible ou d’être son propre médecin. Essayer de trouver un médecin, qui dès le départ respecte vos croyances et vos souhaits pour que vous puissiez avoir une grossesse sécuritaire et saine. Chaque médecine ou sage-femme a eu un vision différente des choses concernant la grossesse et l’accouchement et insh Allah vous trouverez quelqu’un que vous respectez et qui vous respecte.

Bien que chaque intervention chirurgicale peut avoir des complications, la chirurgie est accepté en islam lorsque un médecin de confiance considère qu’elle est nécéssaire pour éviter de sérieuses complications. Les soins de santé implique de prendre beaucoup de décisions difficile qu’il faut bien sur contrebalancer, raison pour laquelle il est important d’avoir un bon médecin pour être guider dans ses choix.

Tafsir Surah ‘Abasa 1

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assalamu’alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Ya Sayyidy, Ya Habinana, Ya Mawlana.

I want to get some explanation from you. I got an explanation from someone that tafsir QS.80:1 (“The Prophet frowned and turned away”) is not Muhammad SAW, it is false because Rasulullah could not do like that and it is not The Prophet’s character such as explanation in QS.68.4 (“And indeed, you are of a great moral character”). So, the man in QS.80:1 above is Al-Walid bin Mughirah (QS.74:11, “Leave Me with the one I created alone”).
Jazakumullah khairan katsira

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

Yes, this is an explanation forwarded by Imam Fakhr al-Din al-Razi in his book `Ismat al-Anbiya’. However, in his Tafsir (Mafatih al-Ghayb) he cites the consensus of Ahl al-Sunnah that the verb “He frowned” does indeed refer to the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) and this is confirmed by all the Sunni exegetes. In the first book he said that even if it were indeed the Prophet (s), his gesture never contradicts 68:4 and was only because he was so keen on making the Message reach those who were not yet accepting it among the Quraysh leaders as in 18:6 and 26:3, while the blind man was already a Muslim.

Seeking spiritual support

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

May Allah bless the Holy Nabi (saws), his family and ummah. May Allah delight the Saints with His mercies, and sustain the needs and hopes of His seekers.

Thank you for your dua’s, Alhamdullilah I’ve been given a promotion at work with a substantial salary increase.

After a dream of mine was interpreted, I faced the matchless honor and serious responsibility of what it meant for my ibadah, and I embraced wholeheartedly that challenge. Allah made it easier for me to fulfill my duties, but as time has gone on the necessary dunya concerns have weighed on me. I don’t want to lose touch with that reality which began as something most meaningful to me.

Please make dua that my character will not be overcome by the worthless details of day-to-day life, and that I will succeed in the journey to regain fitra.

May Allah forgive my weakness and failings.

Response:

Amin, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you.

Continue to connect to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham through your daily devotion and give sadaqa every day to the intention of strengthening that connection.

Dream: Grandshaikh Abdullah

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

In May, 2009: Grandshaikh Abdullah (q) and I are siting on the floor facing each other. He is throwing 2-3 stones with one throw and I am catching them and throwing it back to him to catch. When the stones come to me, they arrive all together and in a straight line . I am throwing them back to him but my throw is not perfect or correct. He shows me how to throw them correctly. I follow his technique and am able to throw them correctly so they all reach him at the same time for him to catch. Then, on the floor, there is an odd stone head between me and him. It seems to be a skull (human head) made out of stone but the chin is very elongated. The stone head is between Grandshaikh and me and I am touching and examining it.

Interpretation:

The dream signifies Khatm al-Khwajagan and shows that you are under the direct care of Mawlana Shaykh `Abd Allah (Allah sanctify his soul). The skull signifies leadership and its elongated chin points to a long beard, meaning Mawlana Shaykh Hisham who is the link between you and Grandshaykh.

salat in dream
salat en reve

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

salam aleykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

I saw a dream in which I am in an apartment with a man and his 10 year-old son, the TV is on high, the man walks out, the child walks and suddenly shouts out while stopping his ears as if to play. When I start praying I am outside with Mevlevis, they pray standing with one foot on a bench and arms forward, I am facing the opposite direction, I hear the beginning of their prayer which is not Fatiha (I don’t remember in what language), I try to concentrate and begin to recite Fatiha.

May Allah bless you and your family and give you long life and good health as well as to Sultan al-Awliya Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani.

Interpretation:
`Alaykum as-Salam wa rahmatullah,
Amin, and to you and yours also. Reading Fatiha in dream means your du`a will be answered, your religion will be protected, the gates of goodness will be opened for you and the gates of harm will be closed. Seeing the Mevlevis in prayer right after the man’s apartment means that man or his place will facilitate remembrance of Allah Most High.

Hajj Gibril Haddad

Reve:

salam aleykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

j’ai fait un reve où je suis dans un appartement avec un homme et son fils de 10 ans, il ya la télé avec le son fort, l’homme sors, l’enfant marche d’un coup pousse un cri en se bouchant les oreilles comme pour s’amuser. Quand je commence la priere je suis dehors avec des mevlevis, ils prient debouts avec un pieds sur un banc et les bras en avant, je suis a contre sens d’eux ,j’entends le debut de leur priere qui n’est pas la fatiha( je ne me rapelle pas ni le language ni ce qu elle etait), j essaye de me concentrer et commence a reciter la fatiha..

que Allah vous benisse ainsi que votre famille et vous donne une longue vie en bonne santé ainsi qu au sultan des awlyas sheikh Nazim Al Haqqani.

Interpretation:

`Alaykum as-Salam wa rahmatullah,

Amin, a vous et aux votres aussi. Lire la Fatiha en reve signifie que votre du`a sera exaucé, votre religion sera protégée, les portes des faveurs Divines seront ouvertes pour vous et les portes du mal seront fermées. Voir les Mevlevis en prière juste après l’appartement de l’homme signifie que cet homme ou son appartement faciliteront le dhikr d’Allah.
