Marriage blocked
Question:
Salaam, Im 3_ unmarried. I found the man from my dreams that Allah showed me when I had done isthkhara. We spoke about marriage w/each other & the love that was growing between us. We did isthikhara to marry each other, his dream was negative, but my 1st one was positive &my second one just flashed numbers 70, 22, 16. when it was time to tell his parents he got scared/nervous,has stopped all contact with me. Since then I’ve had 2 dreams of evil spirit/nonhuman preventing me from reciting La illah il Allah, but I manage to say it in my dream as it escapes/diminishes & I wake up saying it. I read dhikr daily, now reciting Dua Hazrat Dawud. I did isthikhara again, I didn’t see anything negative. I pay a small sadqa weekly, done extra fasts. What else can I do feel like there’s a rukawat/stop on me? Please help.
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Read the salawat in the book “Salawat of Tremendous Blessings.”

Baya with Shaykh Hisham
Question:
ASA WR WB
Bismillah irRahman IrRaheem
May Allah bless the soul of Shaykh Nazim and the entire Naqshbandi Golden Chain.
Dear Brother/Sister,
I understand that Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is coming to New York in the next few weeks and I would like to take a baya with him in person. How can I meet him? I will go to the center in NYC but how can I be sure I will get a chance to be face-to-face with him and speak with him? I am a sister and I do not know the setup there (if women can get a chance to be near the Shaykh). Is there any contact # or email of the person in charge in NYC?
Also when I meet Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, can I bring him a gift or what is the etiquette on meeting him?
May Allah bless you all for your good work.
Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Amin! Please see sufilive.com/centers for contact information.
Read Shaykh Gibril’s answer in the Post “Proper Adab of Visiting a Shaykh.”
