istakhara

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Dream:

I am doing istakhara for my husband to be and I see a cows head picture upside down and then I see my dads brother parvaze puting a frying pan on my mums head and then setting her knees on fire. what dose this mean?

plz notify me when this is answered ?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

There are some signals that point to the analogy “from the frying pan into the fire”, so the dream indicates conflict and confusion instead of harmony and clarity. So be careful for if you push this you can lose a lot. W ‘Allahu `alam.

evil thoughts

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Question:

Asslamo alaikum
I suffer from unintentional evil thoughts. I’m just a beginner but I do the awrad of the people of determination because of my extreme evil thoughts but still those evil thoughts don’t come under my control. Can you advise me any extra awraad that I can do that can help me to supress my evil thoughts. JazakAllah khairan. Asslamo alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullah,

Drop down to doing the 1500 awrad (of the initiate). Imagine  yourself in presence of Ka`bah or in front of the Prophet’s Rawdah in the presence of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim in his presence and concentrate on the Shaykh, and then do your awrad. This will keep Shaytan further away, insha-Allah.

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Imam Kamau Ayyubi

Question:

salaam,my cousin is trying to find a job,he is not a mureed of mawlana but he has seen you when you came to the Tottenham dergah..when people took bayah he had his hands on the left shoulder instead of the right and he did not know bayah was taking place so is he under mawlanas bayah or not,also he is looking for a job,please mawlana shaykh hisham could you give him a wazifa to read so that he can find a job that is suitable for him,thank you.

Answer:

if he accepts the connection then the baya` is ok. Insha-Allah if he begins the awrad of the initiate (mubtadi`) and keeps his 5 prayers on time, and recite hasbuna’Llah wa nimal-wakeel 100x day, and be persistent in applying for the job, his job situation will be remedied, insha-Allah.

W’Allah `alam,

Dream: roti and writing

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Imam Ismaeel Dhul-Qarnayn

Dream:

Asalamalaykom wb

My wife had a dream that people were making roti bread, the sky was grey, and in the sky she could see arabic writing it was in 2 seperate parts, all the people panicked for while and then calmed down:end of dream. she cant remember what the writing said, but did have ALLAH in the words.

Allah bless you you all for the good work. we love you

Interpretation:

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim
Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa `ala Ahili wa Sahbihi Ajma’in

As-Salamu `Alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakutuh

The Messenger (saw) said “The preparation for an opening, is worship”

Certain colors of the sky in a dream represents certain signs. Red would mean war, green would mean goodness, yellow means disease and sickness, and black means famine.

In the case of your wife, she witnessed a grey sky that represents the great fitna that will cover the whole earth before Sayyidina Mahdi’s (as) arrival. The writing in the sky represents when he shouts the Takbir for all to hear. For some that will be frightening, but for those who are waiting, this would be good news.

Allah is showing you a great favor to prepare for it.

The second part of the writing is the tasbih and takbir that Imam Mahdi will use to defeat his enemies without weapons. This is why people will come down at the end because he will bring justice and peace after the earth was filled with tyranny and injustice

In conclusion, I would advise you to study Shaykh Hisham’s book “The Approach of Armageddon”.

w `Allahu `alam

Sallu Alayhi!

Relation to my mom

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

Salam ‘aleykoum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh,

Since I’m around 16 years old, I decided to begin a relation with my mom (my parents separated i had around 2-3 years old and no relation with her after 4 or 5 years old, decision of my father, my mother is mental sick, from so far, before she met my father… ).

It was difficult for me to be in relation with my so “special” mother but in same time, i felt that it was what i have to do, in my heart, to have a minimum of relation with her…

I get married, and my husband after 2 times meet my mom, does want I continue to see her. I accepted his decision but I still dont feel completly in peace to stop the relation with my mom. Because I learned, since I become Muslim, how it’s important to take care of our parents. In same time, I understand my husband.

What should I do, please help me to do the best for everyone (my mom, my husband, my 2 child, my grand-mother in the side of my mother, etc)

Jazaka Allahou Khairan

Amina

Answer:

Your husband has no right in Shari`ah  to prevent you from seeing your mother. It is your duty to see your mother and help her in any way you can. This is regardless of her being a Muslim or not, or being mentally capable or not. Explain this to him kindly and that you don’t want to oppose his wishes, but “Your mother, your mother, your mother” is the direct command of our Holy Prophet (s) and must come first.

Dream: Seeing Maulana Sheikh Nazim

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Dear Shaykh, Assalamu alaykum,

Since becoming a mureed of Maulana in the Summer of 2010, and that after much hesitation and reluctance, I have seen him in my dreams several times, even though I will say that I am not a very good mureed as I find it quite a challenge to do all that a good mureed should do, however, I try to do what I feel is within my abilities.

In dreams, which I have had since becoming a mureed, I have seen Maulana fighting the evil in my troublesome mother, I have seen Maulana talking to me, and I have seen him wearing green clothes and sitting down on the ground, looking away from me as I see the dream.

Please can you say what it means, generally, if we see Maulana in dreams or is this question too general? Please forgive me and ignore my enquiry if you do not like my question. May Allah bless you all. Salams again.

Interpretation:

Seeing Mawlana Shaykh is always a blessing for he, as a warith Muhammadi, a Muhammadan Inheritor of our time, also inherits from the prophetic specialty, where the Prophet (s) said, “whoever saw me in the dream saw me in reality (or will see me in the waking state).”  Thus seeing the shaykh is real, not imaginary, nor deceit. Seeing any wali is purification for the viewer, and seeing the Warith Muhammadi, one falls under what the Shaykh inherits of the Prophetic Specialty mentioned in the hadith:

“I observe the deeds (`amal) of my nation and if I find good I praise Allah and if I find other than that I seek forgiveness for them.”

From the teaching of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, falling under the observation of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim means he tallies up your good actions, and your bad actions and in Salat an-Najat, every morning before Salat al-Fajr, seeks Allah’s forgiveness for all his murids, and then on top of that, dresses them with whatever lights, blessings and bounties he is receiving. Connecting in baya` to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim you have come to a bounteous friend indeed. He gifts his murids from what Allah has granted him of levels and stations and blessings without them doing anything to deserve it and alhamdulillah for that.

Dream: Wild Cats Attacking

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Salaam o alaikum
Over the past 2/3 months I am having dreams of cats and big cats wanting to attack me feircelly. An unknown man saves me from the big cat by putting a stake in its heart. The small cats were very wild with a peice of meat in their mouth and a distant relative picks one of them and throws it and saves me. I am frightened in both these dreams. can you please interperate these for me please.

Thankyou

Interpretation:

Those wild cats are enemies trying to harm you and backbiting you, but alhamdulillah by that man you dont know killing one of them is a wali to whom you are connected, whom you may not be aware of assigned to protect  you. And the relative throwing these cats is a pious ancestor whose du`as to protect and guide you have been answered by Allah swt.

Seeing Mawlana Shaykh

Posted on November 25, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Question:

Auzobillahi Minushaytaanir Rajeem ……… Bismillahir Rehmanir Raheem

Assalam o Alaikum wa Rehmatullahi wa Barakatuhu Ya Sayyidi, Ya Hajjah and Family,

Sayyidi, when I close my eyes to imagine Mawlana Shaykh Nazim(q), I see him with his beautiful eyes closed. Does it mean anything? or is it just a wiswas?

Answer:

wa alaykum salam,

To see the shaykh, in a dream or a vision, or in muraqabah is real, and is not from Shaytan.  Rather that is the essence of muraqabah. It is a sign you have a strong connection to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Mawlana’s eyes closed means he is not looking at your actions but he keeps you close as his spiritual daughter. Keep up your muraqabah to maintain that connection.

Dream: Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) & Sayyidina `Ali (r)

Posted on November 25, 2010 by Taher Siddiqui

Dream:

Assalaamu alaikum, Ya Sayyedi.
The night I came back from umrah I dreamt that I went to a great hall filled with pious men. When the crowd dispersed I sat in front in a chair and two men came and sat facing me. I became speechless when I saw them and all I could manage to say was: “Assalaamualaikum, Hazrat Abu Bakr, you have a beautiful face!” and “Assalaamu alaikum, Hazrat Ali, you too have a beautiful face!” Then Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu) looked at me and I felt ashamed as he was looking into my heart. He said to me: “You have a strong heart, but…” and I was sad and ashamed and I said twice:”I know”. Then they stand up and leave.

I am very troubled and shaken by this dream. Can you interpret this dream, please? JazaakAllah.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

This is a very good dream and good tidings to you to see the two main poles of spirituality from the Companions, Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) and Sayyidina Ali (r)  and for them to look at you. This is confirmation of you having a deep spiritual connection with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and the Naqshband Golden Chain which contains in the silsilah Sayyidina Ja`far as-Sadiq (r) who is called majma` al-bahrayn, “the juncture of the two seas” for he has in his lineage physical and spiritual both Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r) and Sayyidina Ali (r). What Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq(r) said to you is a reality as he is a Truth-teller (siddiq).
