istikhara request

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Ya shaykh, I am besotted with this guy his name is [private], my name is [private].

Is he the one for me? I really like him but I want to keep it halal. He hasn’t had a good feeling after the Duah but I wanted to know from my shaykh if it is possible and also if not if there not a wazifa or surah we can read to destroy any bad happening and get married ?

Please help me I’m lost.

Jazak Allah Kairan

Answer:

You have answered your own question by describing your state negatively and by observing that he also had negative feelings. It is best to move on and in sha Allah ask for a life filled with blessings with open eyes, beginning with transparency with parents, especially if you are young and never been married before.

Jinn

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Asalamualakum Sheikh,
I have a question for you about jinns, so my mom heard these whistling sounds in her ears and my brother and her sister heard the same thing and then my father heard the dishes move, but no one was downstairs, we feel it’s a jinn, but we’re not sure. What do you say?
Thank you.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Keep nur and light in your hearts and your house by keeping salat on time, a good life and good relations. If or when any such disturbance occurs, recite the dhikr “La ilaha illa Allah” x10, “Muhammadun Rasulullah,” and before sleep x100.

Assalam O Alsikum brother,

Regarding this post:

I want to ask that can you please give me permission to recite on the taweez. Because I am suffering from black magic and this taweez after printing is not effective. If I can recite by myself then tell me what should I recite and how many times. Please help me.

Walikum Salam

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,
Attend a Naqshbandi circle of dhikr on a regular basis in your area and in sha Allah you will improve.

Prayer Request: I simply cannot move on.

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Salam Alaikum,
I am depressed due to my wife taking khula. My wife took khula in 201_ and in 201_ I found out later that during my long distance marriage she was sitting in someone else’s lap (I saw in a photo). She has a boyfriend and is happy whereas I am stuck. They are living a full life full of love and blessings. My present is worse than their present. I have inferiority complex. I lack perseverance. My energy’s dead. Cant’ think, my brain’s slow, my thought process’s distorted. I wanted to kill myself in 2014. I have lost confidence. Poverty, lack of education, is disturbing me. I serve my parents properly. I request your intervention. I want to get married but people are rejecting me due to my past.

Response:

Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. Keep your Salat and trust in Allah. Move on by keeping good company so that it will be easier for you in sha Allah to think and act positively. Find a weekly circle of dhikr in your area and stick to that so that you reach Ramadan hale and strong and Allah will turn a new page for you.

Dream:

As salam o alikum sheik,

The person who saw this dream is the lady to whom I am planning to get married. And I can say always she have my dreams with us or our family or marriage or kids playing or we in the garden and me climbing a mountain and all different sort of almost every night before fajr salah.

In this dream she saw that I was wearing white clothes while she is wearing abaya with nose covering and sitting in front of me with beard (currently I dont have a beard but I love to have it someday) and I am in a very beautiful voice reciting Surah Al Kahf. This surah I love to recite it and I recite it on every Friday after Jumah salah.

Kindly help me get the interpretation in sha Allah.

Interpretation:

Alaykum Salam,
Go ahead and trust in Allah in your marriage. Dream indicates a good life in dunya and akhira and protection from fitna in sha Allah.

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

Assalamu Allaikum, I’m getting married after so many years for the first time and my wedding is in 50 days. But I don’t have a penny to buy a dress for me or a pair of shoes. And I have relations over 200, I don’t know what to do for money. I’m trying my best to sell the house but no one is coming forward to buy, beside it’s a custom to provide bedroom set on wedding day. I have to look for house for rent as well for them. Please ask dua for me, I don’t have the wealth for these. My mom stitched bridal dress for many for free, but I’m unable to buy materials. No one is coming forward to help me but neglecting. Please give me any dua to recite for everything to go well before my wedding date [private].

Response:

Alaykum Salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you. In sha Allah rizq will open up for you. Recite Rabbana atina fil-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina `adhaban nar in every dua. Difficulty will pass in sha Allah.

Prayer Request: Dua for autistic kid and rude husband

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Request:

I’m married since 9 yrs and still cannot get intercourse, too painful (suffer from vaginismus). Abused when aged 4 by cousins (more victims including my 2 sisters, suffering same problem with no children). I did AI to have a child who’s 7 now and he’s autistic. My twinsister adopted, unfortunately her child too became autistic. We’ve been doing rukya because of blackmagic, nonverbal son and nephew talked about things (evil jinns) frightening them. Actually on 60th day of Grandshaykh’s prescription for blackmagic removal. Husband blames my parents, holds them responsible for our situation and child’s condition, stopped bringing us to their place. He stopped doing namaz, feels anger and hatred always, hate see me do zikr, doesn’t want me to wear hijab. Pease ask Mawlana Shaykh Hisham to do doa for our health, kids get better, our husband be kind, love us, for my family, to be close to our Shaykh, Holy Prophet(SAW) and Allah.

Response:

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham is praying for you and your sisters, spouses and children. Let you and your sisters read Fatiha in your hearts when experiencing duress and continue to show tenderness and love to your children. Rahma of Allah encompasses you and them, so keep good cheer and let your strong iman be a guiding light for your children. It will
slowly remove their fears and they will improve in sha Allah. Be patient with husbands, your reward is assured and Allah loves those who are patient and supports them. Hatred only brings on problems while Salat opens light from heaven onto your lives. They will turn around in sha Allah. Keep Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim and dhikr in your hearts at all times especially when cooking and before sleep.

Dream: giving strawberries to friends

Posted on March 21, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Dream:

Hi I did istikhara as I want to get married again as having trouble at home with the first wife. I saw in my dream just a couple of days afterwooods that I was at work around a table and I was giving out other strawberries or raspberries to my friends at work. I cant remember which of the two fruits it was exactly but I belive it were strawberries that I was handing out. I did the istikhara about 8 months ago.

Interpretation:

In dreams juicy fruit points to marriage that will not last, and since the context is outside your home, it means the durable option is not what you seek after but what you already have. Try to repair the latter and build it up.

Body mark

Posted on March 19, 2015 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Aoa

Shaykh, 6yrs before I wrote name of some one on my chest with blade and surma..it was really one of my biggest mistakes in life. Now Im repenting too much on my mistake, now after few days I’m going to be married. But that mark doesnt fade out even after so much tries..wallahi I’m very much distressed and cry a lot in front of Allah.. I don’t know what to do now.. For Allah’s sake plz tell me quick solution. I want to get rid of that mark sooner on any cost.

Answer:

`Alaykum salam,

Be happy Allah gave you a better life and strengthened your iman. Polish your soul and do not worry about what you cannot help anymore. Your tawba is accepted in sha Allah. Move on and if some technology comes along, then the mark can be removed, but if not, never mind. It is less than minor so focus on building up your family life and relationship
with Allah before the meeting with the grave and the closure of our records.
