Dream: Swapping shoes

Dream:

Assalamu alaikum,

Two weeks after my mother passed away, I had a dream about her. We were in my dining room. There was a feast on the table. I recall telling my mother that I had to run out and get the kids and I will be right back. She asked for my moccasins. I said ‘Mom, my feet are smaller than yours.’ She said that was okay. She then took off her moccasins and handed them to me and I gave her mine. I place her shoes on my feet and she place mine on hers. She seemed pleased.

I am hoping you can explain this dream from me.

Thank you!

Interpretation:

Wa `alaykum salam,

The feast indicates your mother is accepted in Paradise, and Allah knows best, and your trading shoes shows you will inherit her spiritual character, in-sha-Allah, and she is pleased with you.

Prayer Request: Remove obstacles

Request:

Assalamu alaykoum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

Mawlana Sheikh,

By the Will and Mercy of Allah (swt), I was finally made to see who my real enemies are and as deeply saddening it is to me, I have to be strong and make changes. I need to move out of the house but I am jobless and I do not have money. I am also unmarried but the environment I live in is toxic because of envy and backbiting and emotional, and verbal and mental abuse. I want to get married inchAllah and get a job. Please pray for me.

Jazakallahu kairan

In-sha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.

Find practicing Muslimas to room with and don’t live on your own. Recite hasbunallah wa ni`ama ‘l-wakeel 100x daily before Salat al-Fajr for relief from these burdens, and Ya Razzaq 100x for halal rizq.

Permission to visit and accept guidance from Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

Question:

Assalmualykum.

Bismillah hirahman nirrahim. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

I currently live in Australia and want to visit America for 2-3 weeks after Ramadan to see Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and accept guidance and advice from him. Would it be best for me to just travel to the mosque he resides primarily at? and if so where is this located so I can arrange my travels. As Australia is a very isolated location it is not often that we receive such enlightened scholars, and I have decided that it is on my own shoulders to travel and learn as I need to improve my current situation.

Thank you for your help
Jazakallah

Answer:

Shaykh Hisham is away from the States after Ramadan for about one month. After that you may visit, but check the sufilive schedule and confirm with his PA Shaykh Ishaq first.

Lost Post – Wudu Steps

Question:

Auzbillah Minash Shaytaanir Rajeem
Bismillah Ir-Rahman Ir-Raheem

Assalamu-Alaikum Waramatullahi Wabarakatu eshaykh staff:

I had bookmarked “wudu steps” to which Sheikh Hisham Kabbani had replied at length about how to properly perform wudu with full supplications, but it has been lost. The post contained a detailed explanation of ablution steps for people who want to follow higher ideal of shariah. Therefore, on my own behalf (and other similar minds), I humbly request the restoration of the post, as I am still learning. Alternatively, I request that you please ask Sheikh Hisham Kabbani (may Allah bless him) to again give that complete explanation here. Jazakumullahu khayran.

The former link was from https://eshaykh.com/ibadat-worship/salat-prayer/wudu-steps/

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

The post has been added back at the same address.

Dream rabitha and ihda tawab

Question:

Assamualaykum ya Sayidi Mawlana Syeik Hisyam and Syeikh Gibril,

I want to ask about a dream, please forgive me and give me advise my Sayyid:

1. My dream is I am in halaqah dzikir with another Naqshbandi murid and Mawlana Syeikh Hisyam lead the dzikir and he asks me what dzikir and I do dzikir with awrad from my late syeikh give me. Mawlana Syeikh Hisyam said you can put my name in your silsilah.

2. One of authorized murid come to my dream and he said you must rabita to my late syeikh.

What is the meaning of my dream? Before that I practice the Naqshbandi book and prayers. Now I do awrad from my syeikh and another awrad because I already have ijazah from another syeikh and I am always makging rabitha to Mawlana Syeikh Nazim, Syeikh Hisyam and give ihda tawab to Naqshbandi Suyukh first and then my silsilah and another syeikh

Wa asalamualaykum

Answer:

Wa ‘alaykum salam,

1) Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is one of the great saints who is connected to many silsilas, including that of your deceased Shaykh, may Allah bless his soul, perhaps through spiritual (Uwaisi) link or perhaps a physical one.

2) Keep rabita to your deceased Shaykh, out of love and respect, and then your rabita is to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and include Shaykh Hisham out of love and respect as well.

Allah knows best.

Zikr in Brazil

Question:

786
Assalamu Alaykum wa RahmatuLahi wa Barakatuh!

I Hope Allah (SWT) Bless Sayyidina Muhammad (SAWS), Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Q) and all the mashaykhs.

I live in BraziI, and lead the zikr in my town. There are people who are approaching the tariqa and attending the zikr, although they are not Muslims yet.
One of these people came to me and said that he will have college on Thursday night, so he won’t be able attend the zikr anymore. So, what I have to do? Can i change the zikr day? Or can I give him an audio record of Mawlana’s zikr and a paper with the recitations in order for him to make zikr in home another day?
Thank you for you kindness and answers in my questions!

Answer:

wa `alaykum  salam,

In-sha-Allah Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for the success of your gathering.

You may make a Dhikr gathering on Saturday when most people are free, in addition to the Thursday Dhikr. I suggest you have everyone attending bring some food in order to make it a festive event, perhaps once a month. You may also, in addition to the normal Khatm, recite Mawlid from the book Mawlid Dayba’i. You might do this special gathering once a month or as often as is convenient and not a burden.

Dream: Moving moon

Dream:

AOA,

My son is nearly 15 years old had a dream about the moon. He saw the moon moving, kind of hovering in the sky at a fast speed. The he saw that the moon changed in to a bird which has a big beak and flies away in the sky. He was wondering what it can mean. It will be really kind of you if you can give the interpretation of this dream. Before conceiving my son (who saw this dream) I saw crescent moon made of gold 2 or 3 stars attached to it fell on my childhood house roof. Me and my sister see it I get scared so my sister picks it up (same sister who was with me at the birth of my son who saw the dream she held him before me when he was born).

JZK

Interpretation:

Audhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm

Wa `alaykumu s-salāmu wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh,

It means that it will guided to reach perfection of Islam (represented by the moon) through the guidance of Awliya’ullah (represented the bird). The sky represents heavenly station or marifatullah.

And Allah knows best
