Calamities

Question:

As salam mu alakum,

I am always depressed mainly because of the many calamities that I have faced in the past few years. I pray five times a day, I have even gone to umrah just recently.

I have had so much happen to me, and even wanted to marry a certain girl, and then a calamity ruined that. Calamity after calamity happens to me. When i ask Allah to relieve me, more bad things happen I dont know why Allah keeps doing this to me. I am not a bad person. I have made lots of dua. But I dont why Allah is ignoring me. I feel like killing myself sometimes.

Permission to read Hizb-ul-Bahr and why…

Question:

as-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.

Dear shaykh, may Allah be pleased with you.

Recently I memorized Hizb-ul-Bahr, because I love this text with its meaning wal hamdulillah. I started to read this text in the beginning because I was searching for an easy readable litany to gain assistance from Allah for my own “Bahr of problems” and since then I keep on reading it.

But I keep on hearing that one needs permission to read this text? How come? This text is compiled from passages from the Quran en Ahadeeth. Allah gave us the greatest gift, the Quran and the Ahadeeth without permission to read, except we read it in a proper way and Islamic rituals.

I would like to understand why one needs permission to read the Hizb-ul-Bahr. And how can I get permission to read it wa khair insha Allah?

Wa ahsan Allahu ilaykum.

Answer:

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem

wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Alhamdulillah, please see Shaykh Gibril’s answer here.

Prayer Request: anxiety

Request:

Asalamu alaykum,

I have been having anxiety for the past few years now. Nothing seems to be working in aiding against it. My anxiety mostly stems from my lack of a job prospect and my lack of compatibility with suitors. They seem to be interested but when a meeting is organized something always goes wrong and prevents us from meeting. I also never hear back from employers even though people say I have a good resume.

Can you please pray for me and tell me what’s wrong with me for endless obstacles to be in my way. Am I doing something wrong?

Response:

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem

wa `alaykum salam,

You may follow Mawlana Shaykh Hisham’ s advice given in the Post “To Find a Good Husband“.

Dream: Musa (as) and Iblis

Dream:

A salaamu aleykum wa rahmatulah,

A few weeks ago I had a dream

I saw myself running in a place searching for someone. Then suddenly I see Musa (as) and it seems that he just killed the person I was looking for and that person was actually Iblis but before he became defiant towards Allah swa…and I was asking Musa (as) why…why did u kill him? (In a way I felt pity towards Iblis) he said there was no other choice I had to do it. Then the next image I see that I have the staff of Musa (as) and I lean on it to not fall on the ground in very sorrowful way.

I find this disturbing because I had the feeling that I’m taking pity on Iblis where he is a plain enemy…pls shaykh would you help me understand this dream?

Jazakum Allah Khayran

S.a.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

That is a blessed dream, alhamdulillah to see any Nabi (s) or Sahabi or wali is a blessing. It was your ego sorrowful to see Iblis within you destroyed by Sayyidina Musa’s (as) immense power. The `asaa of Musa (as) represents the reality behind Moses’s power, for the stick was the spiritual support of Sayyidina Muhammad (s).

But in reality, another interpretation is that you were sad to see Iblis destroyed before he could bring to fruition Allah’s Plan, which is through him, the arch-enemy of mankind, to cause mankind to fight him, build up their spiritual powers and thereby become deserving the title of Khalifatullah. Since Sayyidina Musa (as) usually views things from the outer perspective (zhahir), he killed Iblis as soon as possible in order to prevent his harm. While Khidr (as), might have waited and left him to do Allah’s Plan through him, thereby bringing about the need for prophets and messengers and thus a cause for the coming to earth of the Master of Messengers, Sayyidina Muhammad (s), through whose power Iblis and his agents will be totally routed.

And Allah knows best.
