Answer:

This dream means you will be a supporter of Mawlana Shaykh and the Naqshband tariqah where people are being oppressed by those who ridicule spirituality, i.e. they tell people don’t believe in shaykhs or in awliyaullah.

Dream: orange dragon

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Assalamulaikum Maulana,

It all started when I approached a village that was in great distress I felt. So a amir came to me said that someone told him that I could help them. I was dressed in full sunnah and a orange turban. They escorted me to there courtyard and stood a enormously orange dragon. I looked at the dragon it roared furiously but i jus gulped, threw my juba off, shined the sword of light. that’s when the battle was on. The dragon thrusted it’s tail at me i jumped and all of a sudden i was on top of the dragons back. I said a few arabic words which was bismilah Arahman iraheem. There the dragon disappeared after it was slayed. There was a shrine in front of me while the amir and the villagers was rejoicing. then i awoke.
Please forgive me Maulana. GOD BLESS U AND PLEASE FORGIVE ME LORD.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

So nice to hear from you it has been many years.

This is a very good dream. The dragon in the dream is  your ego and the amir is your heart. The village represents the body. Slaying the dragon of the ego saves the village from dominance by hawa, lustful desires, with Allah’s Power and Mercy in the Bismillah, and puts the prince of the heart in charge again. Good tidings!

And Allah knows best!

salah intention

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

aslamalaykum Shaykh Hisham

what is the correct niyat before salah [a friend told me that we should mention our PROPHETS name in our niyat, I didnt know this]

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

The minimum correct niyyah before salat al-fard is:

“I intend to pray the fard salat of [zuhr, maghrib…] in its time/as a make-up to Allah Most High” (nawaytu usalli fard salat xxx ada’an lillahi ta`ala)

If praying make-up (qada) then:

“I intend to pray the fard salat of [zuhr, maghrib…] as a make-up to Allah Most High” (nawaytu usalli fard salat xxx qada’an lillahi ta`ala)

and for non-fard salat:

“I intend to pray for Allah Most High” (nawaytu usalli lillahi ta`ala)

Airports screener

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Salams Beloved Sayedi and Staff.

I was hoping to ask on what is better to do in regards to these new scanners they use at airports. They use it to scan you, and it takes naked image of you. You do have the option to refuse it, but then they put you through an aggressive pat down even more so then usual, which includes touching everywhere. Is it better to just go with the scanner or not to? Thank you..

Answer:

Salam `alaykum,

In our Tariqa either scenario is easy in comparison to the hereafter. Our times are outwardly more wild and inwardly more Haqqani as they remind us ever more to think of ourselves as lying on the slab being washed before burial, and entering the grave for interrogation by the Two “Dreadful and Ghastly” angels (Munkar and Nakir). As Mawlana Shaykh Nazim says (may his soul be sanctified): “Allahu nazhiri, Allahu hadiri, Allahu ma`i” (Allah is looking at me, Allah is present before me, Allah is with me). Honor and  safety are all in His Hand and what His creatures see from us or do to us is only from His decree and nothing else.

Selling a Qurban

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Shaykh Senad Agic

Question:

I am puzzle on Qurban. Can the meat of qurban be sold to someone? Some says “cannot” but some says “can”. The one says “can” assume that it is their meat (recepient) already so its up to them to sell if money can buy other things which they need more. Please advise. Jazakallahu khair in advance.

Answer:

Under no circumstances can a Qurban meat be sold. There is a hadith that:

“Man Ba`a Jilda Udhhiyyatihi fala Udhhiyyata lah”
Who sells a skin of his Qurban he has no Qurban.

This indicates that even a skin of the Qurban can not be sold let alone its meat.

About Imam Mahdi and Gohar Shahi

Posted on November 29, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

As Salam Aleykoum wa rahmatullah wa barakatouh

Bismillah r rahman r rahim

I saw this video on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1P7qe7Em1E& feature=watch_response_rev and this website : http://www.gohar-shahi.com/

Sheikh Gohar Shahi claims to be the Imam Mahdi. As mawlana Sheikh Hisham came to take authorisation for zikr from him, shall we follow him when time has come?

I must say that his face feels me with good feellings mash Allah.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, wa ‘s-salamu `ala man ‘ttabi`a ‘l-huda

laa hawla wa laa quwatta illa billahi ‘l-`Aliyyi ‘l-`Azheem
There is no might and now power except with Allah they Exalted the Magnificent.

Whoever claimed that Shaykh Hisham came to take dhikr from Gohar Shahi, in fact lied. Gohar Shahi requested to visit Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani at his home in California. Shaykh Hisham did not know this person, and in the tradition of Muslim hospitality, invited him into his home and showed him the respect due to someone who was outwardly a pious scholar and tariqah shaykh. Later false and nonsensical claims that Shaykh Hisham took baya` or took awrad from him are invalid, rather Shaykh Hisham’s impeccable adab is, like Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, to accept wa`zh and even reprimand from anyone, to recite dhikr with anyone and to act like a common person.

As for claims to be Mahdi, if Gohar Shahi had said so to Shaykh Hisham, he would have refuted him there and then. Instead he posed as a Qadiri shaykh. Since Mahdi’s appearance, birth and lineage are well known from many authentic hadith, it is clear that this man is not Mahdi and should withdraw his false claims.

I bear witness to the utter falsehood of these claims as I was present at this meeting.

Dream: Bayah

Posted on November 29, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Aslam wayaykum

I had a dream that I took bayah with Shaykh Hisham and I awoke doing zhikr in the Haqqani way, Also later I had another Dream where I said to shaykh Hisham “I have taken bayah with you in my dream” and took bayah again, I want to know what this dream means…..Also after these dreams I was pushed into taking bayah with a different Shaykh but have told the Shaykh that it was a mistake and my heart belongs to Shaykh Nazim, and finally will Shaykh Hisham come UK…if I have said or done anything wrong please forgive me as I do not know much

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Taking baya` in dream is indication of your spiritual connection to the Shaykh. Telling the shaykh you took baya` in dream means  you took baya` in reality. Refusing to take baya` with another shaykh, was a test from Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, alhamdulillah you passed because you insisted your initiation is with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and cannot be changed.
