How to become a guardian?

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Hi

I have always had an aspiration/wish to have the honour of being a keeper of the blessed hair mubbarak of our beloved Prophet Muahmmed (saw). What steps can one take in order to be granted with this? I know those who have the hair mubbarak do pass it on, as it grows, but I have never come across anyone. I would like to make the intention of guarding the hair of our Beloved.

Could you advise?

Answer:

The Prophet (s) will not come or show himself to someone who does not keep his
Sunnah so try to do so to your best ability.

Dream: Baby name

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Assalamu alaikum. I had a very vivid short dream of seeing my (yet unborn) child at barely-speaking-age, it is ordered to say its name, it says “Kaleef, Kaleef, Kaleef“. Few weeks later I dream to ask on eShaykh the meaning of the first dream. So does this mean anything? Allah bless you

Interpretation:

wa `aalykum salam,

This dream points to its opposite, so since Kaleef means difficult you may name your child, if it’s a boy, Yaseer or Yaasir or Yusr or Yusri which all means ease.

Request:

I am a bad person. I’ve hurt so many people male and female, yet Allah is still showering me with so much pleasures. I’m ashamed and even then many times I’m heedless still. Soon inshaAllah I will be married with a beautiful woman.

Please pray for my marriage to be blessed and also for my present and future family. May Allah be pleased with us all and me and my future wife.

And pray for those people whom I’ve wronged. May they be happy and contented.

And even more for yours, and much more for Rasulullah s.a.w.!

Response:

I will pray for you by Mawlana Shaykh’s baraka you will be alright and those you wronged will forgive you. Read 100x istighfar.

Tafsir Surat Ar Rahman

Posted on January 18, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatulah wa barakatu,

I want to know the meaning of this:

“O assembly of Jinn and men! If you are able to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority.”

What is the meaning of passing beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth ? How would the “passing” affect us ? I hope you can give me a detailed answer about this ayat.

wasalam.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

As Mawlana Shaykh Nazim has said or alluded many times, it is a verse implicitly praising the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace), who was given sultan, i.e. permission and power for Isra’ and Mi`raj, his greatest miracle after the Holy  Qur’an, and Allah knows best.

Dream:

selam aleykum v r b! Maybe one month ago I see this dream. My sister came to me and said, “soon you will have a baby ”. I said, “how can I have a baby, I’m not married”(really I’m not married). She said, “yes you can!”

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

You will be blessed with a spiritual opening in your heart that will raise your station, insha-Allah. Beware of people’s jealousy when they see this.

About wird

Posted on January 17, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

As salam aleykoum wa rahmatullah wa barakatouh
Peace be upon our beloved Prophet and the Sheikhs of the Naqshbandi Order
Bismillah r rahman r rahim

I am a bit confused on the daily wird. Al hamdulillah, I just found the Guidebook from Mawlana Sheikh Hisham in Jakarta , and reading about the daily wird, but I don’t find the same informations than on other books or wirds I have been given, sometimes by Naqshbandi Murshid.
Main differences (for initiate wird) are :
– Reciting “Allahu Allahu Allahu Haqq” or not.
– Reciting “Astagfirullah” 20 or 70 times
– Many different versions of Idha
– Reciting salawat 300 times on Monday, Thursday and Friday or just 100 times.
For wird of prepared I noticed also one version with 500 Allah and another with 2500 Allah.
So what is the clear, official wird to perform?
Barakallahou fik.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Shaykh Hisham has explained that “tariqah ma ra’ahu as-shaykh” which means that the tariqah is however the Shaykh sees it or defines it. In the Naqshbandi-Haqqani silsila, the Guidebook is what we follow, so there is no need to reference other shaykhs’ awrad for their students.

Confused about marrying

Posted on January 17, 2011 by Hajjah Naziha Adil

Question:

Assalamu 3laikum .

Shukran Syedi.
As Mureeds living in the West, we interact with many people from the opposing gender. It is a great blessing when we come across fellow Sunni Muslims and Haqqanis in our life. Many of us are beyond the simply raw lusty type of love that we were into before coming under the light of Sultan Al Awliya, Alhamdullilah. However still, when we meet many beautiful people, it is easy to fall in love with them for their adab, love for the Ulema and Awliya Kiraam and their desire to defend the Ahlus Sunnati Wa’l Jamath. These people are rare pearls, especially in the West where wahabi teachings have spread to produce lots of wahabi-minded thinkers.

However we find it hard to carry things forward and sometimes we are open & honest and it goes nowhere. We are lost. However we require your support and advice.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Thank you for your kind words, May Allah give you happeniss in this life and the other life and keep you under Shaykh Nazim’s Umbrella and the Shafa`ah of Rasul Allah (s).
