Imaan and education

Question:

An elder told our family that I could become a wali,i read most namaz, daily dhikr,read Quran. I’m mother of 1 and pregnant. Can I learn Islam from books or please advise how to become wali . i dreamt of Shaykh Adil doing khatam and see good dreams.

Answer:

Assalamualikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatu:

If what is meant by wali is that one sees visions, dreams and performs miracles then that is not the way of awliyaaullah … many of whom Allah takes an oath from them not to perform miracles. Instead, Allah subhannuh wa ta’ala describes awliya as those who: “believe and have taqwā!” which means to have awareness of Allah’s presence at all times … that means to be a wali is to be in love with Allah subhannuh wa ta’ala … in order to achieve this we have to strengthen our relationship with Allah’s beloved … if we love Allah’s beloved … Allah will love us inshallah … the way to attach ourselves to Allah’s beloved Muhammad salla allahu alayhi wa sallam is to send a lot of salawat … more than you can count … and make a lot of dhikr … that is walaya … and as some awliyaa said: afdhal karāma al-istiqāma (the best miracle is steadfastness on worship).

And tawfiq is from Allah subhannuh wa ta’ala,

Dreams of becoming abdaal

Question:

I’ve dreams of becoming abdaal. I see with close eyes.I prayed tahajjud alot. later I got possessed & I missed Salah intentionally & unintentionally. I try alot. Can they be true? pray for them to be true. interpret them asap they dont come true until interpreted.

Answer:

Assalamualikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatu:

No abdāl have reached their station, or any walī, except through a lot of ʿibāda (worship) and making sure not to miss any prayers. Most importantly, instead of asking Allah subhannuh wa ta’ala to become one of the abdāl … ask Him subhannuh wa ta’ala to make Him beloved to you, because that is higher than any station … if we ask Allah subhannuh wa ta’ala for a specific station, He “might” give it to us and delegate the ability to carry it to our ownselves … but if we ask Allah subhannuh wa ta’ala to give us what He wants for us then He will give us from His treasures that we cannot imagine and He will give us the power to carry that responsibility.

wa mina Allah al tawfīq bi ḥurmat al ḥabīb bi ḥurmat al fātiḥa,

My father’s changed

Question:

Salaams

I dreamt about my name where my father’s name was stroked out and replaced by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)’s name instead. What this dream means.

Answer:

Assalamu alikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatu:

This is a very good dream inshallah and shows that the Prophet salla allahu alayhi wa sallam has admitted you to his household inshallah … this is an inheritance from our master Salman al-Farisi who although was born in Persia, the Prophet salla allahu alayhi wa sallam said about him: “Salman is from us ahl al bayt!”

Dream of Shaykh Habib Umar

Question:

Before sleeping i had a deep ‘ishq for Nabi to see him, the same night i Saw Habib ‘Umar telling me not to tell my dreams and he was with Hamdi ben Aissa.

Answer:

Assalamu alikum wa rahmatu allahi wa barakatu:

This dream is inshallah a response to your request. The Prophet salla allahu alayhi wa sallam appeared to you in the form of one of his deputies and awliyaullah … as for the presence of Shaykh Hamdi b. Aissa that means that you have a connection with this shaykh and he’s your connection to Habib ‘Umar … as for the shaykh’s advice to not tell your dreams to anyone, Allah knows best but it means to be careful who you tell your dreams but NOT that you should not mention them to any person at all … because interpretation of dreams is a sacred science and brings many benefits alhamdulillah.

wa mina Allah al-tawfiq bi hurmat al habib bi hurmat al Fatiha,

Permissible to keep blessed name?

Question:

Assalamu alaykum,
Our daughter’s name was changed to Fatimah when she was young. We are now changing it legally on her passport etc. Is it permissible to add ‘Zahra’ to her name in honour of Sayyida Fatimah Zahra (as), or is this name/title not allowed?

Answer:

Assalamu alikum wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatu:

From a legal perspective, it is permissible since that is a blessed name. However, there is powerful energy connecting a name to the person who will receive that name. In order to make sure that the energy is harmonious between the child and this name (i.e. to make sure that the name is not too powerful to carry) it is best to make istikhara and bring the child to a wali and ask them in person inshallah!

Wa mina Allah al tawfeeq, bi hurmat al habib bi hurmat al Fatiha.
