Woke up with henna stain (Sihr?)

Question:

(Unmarried female 22) After waking up & reading Zuhr Salah, I noticed a stain of 3 dots of henna on my Shahada finger (right hand). Is this Sihr or Ashiq jinn? I don’t leave the house, get stressed and sleeping 12 hours daily with difficulty waking up.

Answer:

Sleep disorder is a sign of bad health. Have yourself checked up and review your other habits for red flags and improvement. Focus on making dhikr daily.

Moon and star dream

Question:

Salaams,

After praying Tahajjud and completing Taj al Arus, I dreamt that I was looking up at the full moon in the night sky and i could see a star inside it. Like the star of David inside a circle. The 2nd and 5th corners were shaded black.

Thanks

Answer:

Make salawat, be regular in your practice, beware of distractions and do not seek credit but only Allah’s forgiveness and mercy.

Malhama

Question:

Salam Shaykh,

Given that the malhama is not far away from the present time, should my wife retire from work earlier rather than later?

Your input on this matter would be very much appreciated.

Syukran.

WasSalaam

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam 

We don’t know when the malhama will be but we keep to our Shuyukhs‘ teaching that we keep doing what we’re doing until circumstances change.

As Mawlana Shaykh Hisham related, Grandshaykh Sharafuddin (q) told his people in Rashadiyya that the Greeks would soon come and invade the area. They said, “should we stop planting the fields and prepare for their coming?” He said, “No, continue with the crops.”

was-salam,

Taher
