Prayer Request:To stop caring and to forget

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Prayer Request:

Asalamalaykum wr wb,
I have this problem. I liked this girl for a very very long time. Things didn’t turn out the way I had hoped it would. I wasted days and months liking her, and thinking about her. Anything that has to do with her makes me very sad. I can’t describe how sad I get. Please, if you pray for me or give me some dua to recite to forget her and to not care about her, because that’s how she is to me now. Should I stop talking to her? I don’t know what I should do. Please Mawlana I need your support. Thank you Mawlana or whoever answers this.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you. It is best to move on as the sign of permission is ease. Contentment with the Divine Decree will reap you great reward and Allah Most High will compensate your loss. Recite Surat ad-Duha x7 and Ya Lateef x100 every day.

Dream: Du’a in the vicinity of Ka’bah

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

What is the significance of seeing oneself reciting Ya Hayyu ya Qayyumu bi-rahmatika astagith in the vicinity of the Ka’bah?

Interpretation:

It indicates supplication by the Greatest Name at the House of Allah and
that your du`a will be answered in sha Allah. There will also be
proximity to a powerful leader such as a president, or marriage.

Prayer Request: To cope with life’s difficulties

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Assalamu’alaikum Wr.Wb,
Sheikh Hisyam whom I respect and love.
Hopefully grace of God is always devoted to Sheikh.
Please advise and prayer for me to be able to overcome the difficulties of this life.

Wassalamua’alaikum,

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham will pray for you.

In your last sajda of the Sunna before Fajr after tasbih call to Allah with the words Ya Rabb! and ask forgiveness and guidance, intend to turn to Him in every situation and ask for contentment (rida) with His Decree. Imagine yourself dead and gone to what this world has and completely in His Hands.

Repeat every day 100x Ya Subhan, Ya Sultan and Hasbiya Allah wa ni`ma ‘l-Wakeel.

Dream: Confusion about joining shadhiliya

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Assalam u alayekum Sheikh Hisham!

I sent you an e-mail (2-3 months ago) to staff@naqshbandi.org before coming to tariqah in which I had narrated my dream that I had seen Grandshaykh Abdullah. But now I feel that I had not identified him correctly.

Also I now remember that the person I saw in my dream was saying something about a province named Shaazal or Shaazalah which had been extinct. I didn’t know exactly at that time that whether such a place exists or existed ? I have not still identified that person. Did this mean that I should join Shadhili Order as well?
Forgive me for I couldn’t narrate my dream correctly earlier.

Shukran ya Syyedi.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

As Mawlana Shaykh Hisham says, the first inspiration is always the correct one.

By taking baya` with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim you have, in effect, also received permission in the Shadhili Tariqah from him as he holds it among other Sufi paths, but the important thing is not what we call ourselves; it is following our Master sincerely and truthfully and combating our lower selves.

Hellfire

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

salam alaykum Syedi.
I was talking to a brother who had been saying bad stuff about Mawlana Shayk Nazim, which was all refuted, but there was one queastion he asked.

He said Mawlana believes that Hellfire is not eternal and also said that the punishment of the disbelievers will end, which is against the teaching of ahle sunnah wal jamat.
13 of “The Naqshbandi Sufi Way: History and Guidebook of the Saints of the Golden Chain”, by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani:

On page 13 of this book, it states that “while the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) was dying”, “he interceded for every individual that God created”, and “he took on the burden of each person until he was satisfied that God had forgiven everyone”, and “then he left this world”.

also he said he gave me link….. http://www.sheiknazim.com/portal-bin/content/view/128/66/

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

The reference you mentioned is from a wali‘s vision. In a vision one may
see all creation as saved or vice versa, for edification. A vision is not meant to define or redefine belief.

As for discussing the material on
http://www.sheiknazim.com/portal-bin/content/view/128/66/ queries should
be directed to those responsible for that website.

Anger

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assala u alikum Sheikh, Pray you are well..It has been a long time that I feel anger over minor things such as tapping a pen constantly. I feel that I have an ego which I want to fight as I also was invited to Umrah by the Mercy of Allah SWT. I feel upset knowing that it is taking over me, as I just want to lead a simple life InshAllah. I look forward to your reply.
Assala u alikum.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Accept the invitation to go to `Umrah and insha Allah your state will
improve.

See the post “Intense Anger”  and try to follow those instructions also.

Dream: Hanafi beard into Maliki

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Asalaamu Alaiykum W’Rahmatullahi W’Barakatuh.

All praises are due to Allah SWT, the Most Merciful. May the peace and blessings of Allah SWT be upon his final Messenger SAW, his family, companions and followers. May Allah SWT be pleased with Mawlana Shakyh Nazim and our beloved Shakyh Hisham Kabbani. May Allah SWT reward all those involved with this website. Ameen.

I had a deam where I shaved my beard from the Hanafi style (hair covering the jawline including the chin) to a thick Maliki style beard, a bit like Shaykh Hamza Yusuf’s. I then showed my mother who approved. My beard is not fist length at the moment.

Jazak’Allahu khaiyrun in advanced!

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

Shaving the beard in dream is not a good sign, check what needs improving in your relationship with Allah Most High and seek His good pleasure.

Dream: Being Married

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Asalamu Aleikum,

1) I saw that I was married and pregnant (I’m unmarried in reality) and then I saw vision of Green Dome or Masajid e Nabwi.. and when I was in labor I started reading this “Ya Shaykh Al-Madad” so that I wouldn’t feel any pain and I didn’t (I also use this wird in real life as a protection)

2) Another Dream – I was married (same person as in 1st dream.. and I’ve seen him in other dreams too as my husband and in one dream I was told by a buzurg that this person is in my destiny). In this dream it was next day of our marriage and he was making bread with oil for breakfast (Indian bread/paratha) on an old fashion kitchen/stove and I was helping him with it.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

The first dream indicates a great spiritual opening for you and travel
for Hajj and Visitation.

The second dream indicates your husband will be a hard worker and you
will help him earn halal income in sha Allah.

Can anyone recite prescribed wazifa from eShaykh?

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

786,assalamualaikum wr wb
madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulullah, ya Sulthonul Awliya ya Quthbul Mutassharrif…

o my beloved Syaikh, I often read articles on this website, especially about wirid/dzikr for healing, solving, and answering one’s problem. Is it permissible for me – and maybe, others – who read those awrad & du’a connected to a problem to practice it for our own benefit, especially if we have similar problem with the person who has been answered? Or should we not practice those awrad & du’a even though we have similar problems, due to awrad/du’a solutions for each person is different & unique?

Thank you very much for your kind attention…Thank you ya Allah ya Rasulullah sws for sending Maulana Syaikh Nazim & Maulana Syaikh Hisyam to be among us…madad madad ya Awliya Allah, ya Rijalullah...forgive us, and please take us with you fiddunya wal aakhira…aamiin

wassalamualaikum wr wb

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Yes, Shaykh Hisham has said in general that all any answer on this site may be applied to a problem that is similar.

Dream: Special stranger

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

This occurred sometime last year. During that time and up to now I have a minor issue with sudden muscle pains on a particular side of my cheek. In the dream I was visiting a large hospital on a bright day. Going in for my appointment I was pointed to my consultant, and I was disappointed that he was not an old man, because age would have represented to me experience and knowledge. However I was surprised as I realized there was something special about him but I don’t know why. He was a handsome man, well-mannered with sharp features, dressed smartly and slicked black hair in a parted fashion. Without telling him my problem, he somehow managed to figure it out and touched the exact part of my cheek and I felt a burning sensation – of soothing, not of pain.

Interpretation:

That was an angel sent to heal your problem, due to your loyalty and belief.

And Allah knows best.
