Dream:Awliyah or Jinnat?

Question:

Assalamu wa Alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhoo ya Mawlana

I have a wahabi who asked me how I know Wali Sufi appear to me as if I know he is really or whether it is a Jinn going for him? I know that the Shaytaan can take Anyway less of the Prophet SAWS in this set Sahih Bukhari, but what about taking the shape and go through sahaba, and even awliyah of Allah? as stated in Abdul Qadir Jilani of history who once Shaytan tried to trick him saying it was Allah? Is there any hadith saying that Shaytan can not take the form of Awliya and sahaba? Barakallaahu Fik

Answer:

Shaytan cannot appear on the image of the Prophet (s). Other than that, Shaytan can appear in any form.  Awliya are protected from Shaytan (mahfuzhun) but keep in mind that Shaytan was even able to enter Paradise after his disobedience according to some narrations.  So yes, Shaytan might be able to take any figure except the figure of the Prophet (s), and similarly, but not impossible, due to their high stations, the Sahaba and awliya.  But sometimes he might deceive you, so therefore you have to be very careful because the Anti-Messiah can come in any form, and shaytans are like that as they are his soldiers.

Mortgage with interest

Question:

Dear Shaykh Hisham, dear scholars of eshaykh.com,
Assalamu alaykum,

I bought 4 years ago an apartment on credit that I sold 3 years later without premeditation, clearing a profit allowing me to pay 40% cash advance for the purchase of another apartment in a residence currently under construction. I intend to take out a mortgage with interest of 15 or 20 years for the remaining 60%.
Is it possible to contract such a loan to purchase a single apartment for personal use? I’ve been told Shaykh Qaradawi had issued a fatwa on this, but I do not know its details.
I intend of course to conform now strictly to your recommendations.

Thank you. May Allah bless you all.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Please see the post “home mortgage” for your answer.

Two questions

Question:

Assalamu Alaykum dear shaykh,

1) Last week I bought a book named, “Healing with the Prophet (SAW) medicines” written by Ibn Qayyim Al Jauziyyah. Is there any problem if I read it, as the author was not from the ahl al sunnah wal jamaah.

2) I saw a dream this morning that I saw a card which had two sides. On one side I saw a shaykh with green turban and written on that the shaykh takes all sins of his followers and on the other side it was written shaykh nur muhammad. Is there any real shaykh named nur muhammad?

Alf shukran

Answer:

`Alaykum asSalam,
The author was from Ahl al-Sunna wal-Jamaa despite certain errors of his, so we ask mercy from Allah for him and we pray for him; most of his books show his Sufi and spiritual orientation and this particular work of his is full of benefits.

However, we wish to caution against the edition you have of that work, Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet which is the 1999 Darussalam edition and the least reliable, as that publishing house promotes other than the views of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah.

We recommend that you obtain instead either the 1993 translation by Shaykh Muhammad al-Akili entitled Natural Healing with the Medicine of the Prophet (Philadelphia: Pearl Publishing House) or the 1998 translation by Penelope Johnstone entitled Medicine of the Prophet (Cambridge: Islamic Texts Society), and success is from Allah.

Prayer Request: Disabled children

Prayer Request:

As-salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatahu,
Sayyidi, I am in need of your dua and advice. My daughter (13 years old) is disabled, cannot communicate and is in a wheelchair. She cannot do anything for herself. The doctors are trying to diagnose her brain through EEG tests etc. Recently, she has been having seizures during the day and in her sleep too which is causing serious concern. After her, I have a son (11 years old) who is physically alright but is autististic. He struggles to communicate clearly as he has a speech problem and can display very poor behaviour at home and when amongst people. Sayyidi, I am in need of your dua. Please advise me to what I need to do. May Allah bless you Sayyidi, and may He raise your ranks higher and higher every moment of the day. May your Light shine in our hearts forever. Aameen.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

We make du`a for you and your son. Give sadaqa on behalf of both and recite la hawla wa la quwatta illah billahi-aliyyil`azheem 100 times daily and be patient.

Not happy, not married and depressed

Question:

Salamunalaikum Sayyidi
I was wondering if you could help me with my situation. I am trying to control my lust. I would like to get married, however, I cannot as I am not yet ready. My parents say to me, “wait till you graduate and get a job” every time that I tell them I want to marry. Fasting doesn’t help control my lust and neither does durood sharif. Is there any other remedy to control my lust? Also I’m unhappy in life. I do my Namaz and I do my Awrad daily and I read Quran. However, I still feel unsatisfied with life. I have no want or desire for anything in this world. My motivation is nil. I feel depressed all the time even though I know my intention is only to gain Allah’s Love. Even then I feel depressed. Any advice?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Recite: Du`a Tunjina or Tunjeena 7 x a day and ya Muqallib al-qulubi wa ‘l-absar qallib qulubana ila mahabatik 100x and “Ilahi Anta maqsoodi wa Ridaka matloobi” 100x insha-Allah you will bring you back  to become motivated and open to y0u what you need to be opened.

Most people today are not motivated to do anything due to too much bad energy. Grandshaykh said one time that Allah swt made special taifa, group of jinn that are chained and cannot reach earth by Prophet (s) blowing on them. So he closed the hole that usually they used to come through it on earth with his holy blowing. And Granddhaykh said that they were not allowed to come and corrupt people. So that is why corruption was less before.

Now, because of too much darkness from human beings, that hole was opened another time and they found a way to come down on earth attacking people. That is why you see too many people today saying, “there is sihr on me”, but it is not correct that there is sihr all the time. Rather, this ta’ifa of evil jinn is mingling among the people, making people to separate – father from mother, children from parents, everyone going in a different direction. And there is no way to close this hole now and prevent the kafir, non-mu’min jinn, from coming to earth. That is why they are coming all the time. They are surrounding Bani Adam and giving them a hard time in their lives by making all kinds of different reflections from them in order to make human beings not motivated, not working, to lose their jobs, making people turn against each other, making whispers “that one is talking about you” and spreading all kinds of bad energy through rumors and confusion and darkness. All kinds of bad things are being done more and more by them. The only way to protect yourself is, as the Prophet (s) mentioned in the hadith that in the Last Days, when ignorance of religion fills the earth and no one knows his religion. As today, they killed one lady in Arizona, a congresswoman and 6 others were killed by someone 22 years of age. It might be he is not motivated. He is not working and who motivated him to kill? It might be these evil creatures that bring negative energy and bad reflections that Allah prevented them from coming to earth, but now they are coming everywhere. So Prophet (s) said that there will be chunks of darkness and confusion coming on earth. The best thing to do is to stay home and not interfere in what is going on outside. Look after your family and children. We have to be very careful about what is going on. May Allah forgive us.

Currency Trading (Forex)

Question:

Salam Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani,

I am interested in learning the currency trade. If permitted by Allah, I will eventually open an account online to trade in the forex market. Is it advisable for me to do so?

Salam

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

You have to ask people who deal with that. The question for me is anything halal you can do and whatever is not halal you cannot do. So you know better if it is halal or not, or permissible or not, or profitable or not. So if it’s halal and legal then there is no problem.

I never liked the stock exchange. It is all lies on lies. They try to cheat you and take your money, but it is up to the people.

Prophet (s) prohibited the exchange of different types; dates should be traded with dates, gold with gold, silver with silver. Not gold with paper. It has no value. What do they give you in these companies? They tell you, you have 1 million dollars. You go and put 2 million dollars. So they tell you, if you put 2 million dollars in the stock market, you will  increase 15 % or 20% and they take 2 million. After one year they give you $35,000. And they are giving you from your money. Then Madoff, he is gone, bye-bye.  They use your money to give you “profit” from your own money and they eat 90% of it.

Dream: Meeting with Awliya

Dream:

Assalamualaikum
Forgive me my Shaykh, I would like to ask the meaning about my dream. Once I have a dream that someone came to me. He said to me, “follow me!” Then I followed him to a place; a big place just like in a Masjid but not a masjid. There are a lot of people. I saw Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hisyam and took me to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Then Mawlana Shaykh Nazim said, “come sit with us, we were waiting for Imam Mahdi as.” Then I sat between Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hisyam. After awhile, The Man that we were waiting for comes. Mawlana said, “that is Imam Mahdi as”. But in my dream I cannot see his face. I only can see his robe with red maroon colour. After that I wake up. Thank You Sayyidi

Salam

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

Alhamdulillah, you have made ziyarah of Imam Mahdi with power of our Shaykh and since you are not yet ready, as no one is, you were only able to see his robe. But insha-Allah there will be coming a time when everyone can see him and especially those who saw him in dream. As soon as he is orderd to come, he is ordered by heavens to fill the world with peace and happiness, as it is filled with darkness. And insha-Allah people will know the reality of who Sayyidina Mahdi is. It means hadi, a guide who guides people towards their desitinies. Sayyidina Mahdi is carrying from the secret of the Prophet (s). What Prophet sends to him he acts. One of his characteristics is to take people to their destinies. He is able to read what is in their presenved tablets to act accordingly. So, as today you get e-mail telling you, “do this and this”, then at that time you look to your preserved tablet and know what assignment you have to do. People will be with different assignments. Not all are the same. Everyone will be rewarded the same but each will have a different job, as today we have a lawyer, cook, doctor, not all are the same. And in that time there will be a doctor. You go to one doctor, he recites on you and you are cured. Each one with different cure. Lawyers -if  you have a difficulty between you and your brother, you go to one of these people. They are not lawyers but eminent people in their time, they will recite on uou and as soon as they recite the problem is solved.

Engineer – you want a blueprint to build something. You think about it and go to an engineer, he has power on jinn and in 24 hours what you want to be built is built. It is not like today but completely different. May Allah show us these golden days to be with Mahdi (a.s.).
