Humble request for permission to marry

Question:

Dear Maulana Shaykh Hisham,

May Allah SWT bless you both. Salams.

My name is [private] I live with my parents, in an isolated community with no friends. Online, I have met a man, well educated and well off from [private], who wants to marry me… Marrying him would mean moving and I want to do this to obey Maulana Shaykh Nazim’s advice that we Muslims had better go back to the East, inshaAllah. My istikhara has come out clear and positive for this match. I am in very desperate need of marriage; is it ok to leave my parents and marry this man, please?

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

It is OK as long as he is a Muslim who prays, but you should proceed with caution as online first contacts are unreliable.

Dream: Black Goat

Dream:

Asalaamualaikum

May Allah reward you for your help and kindness.

I had a dream that a black goat entered my house (parents house) and came in as if it was a pet. I was not scared of it and it seemed like it was smiling? Odd! Please can you interpret this for me and is it good or bad? I’m in great difficulty at the moment for which I am being tested please remember me and family in your duas.

JazakAllah khair

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

Wa alaykum asalam,

This dream can mean that the end of your troubles are over, insha’Allah. Do the dhikr of Masha’Allah la Quwata il laa bil lah at least 300 times a day.

And Allah (jj) knows best.

Dream: Likes my tooth

Dream:

Assalamoaleikum,

I like a white girl and she likes me too. Some weeks ago I dreamt that I was entering the library and I sat on the chair and started to watch tv or something like that, after few moments I noticed that this girl was staring too much at me and I decided to leave that place. When I was out I noticed that this girl and her black girl friend were following me and suddenly both of them came in front of me and she said me I like your tooth. Could you interpret this dream please?

Jazakallah khair

Interpretation:

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

Wa alaykum asalam,

This dream can mean that she likes your kind of looks, and the tooth represents your family.

And Allah (jj) knows best.

Dream: Trying to kill a mouse

Dream:

In the first dream there is a tiny baby mouse and its in the living room where i’m sleep. I pick up a white or cream coloured bed sheet and I grab the mouse with it.  Then I try to squeeze the life out of it whilst holding it inside the bed sheet. My cousin runs to me telling me to stop trying to kill it and to let it go. But I argue that if I let it go it’ll end up breeding and causing problems for us.

Interpretation:

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

This dream can mean that you worry about the consequence of being married to a man who wants to have many children.

Dream: Colorful embroidered dress

Dream:

Assalmu Alaikum Ya Sheikh,

I saw a dream that I am wearing a colorful embroidered dress and my friends were saying you are so simple and your style is different then why are you wearing such kind of dress. But I was content.

I am having issues with my own family they always accuse me even though I tried to help them and my parents are totally against me for no reason. Please pray for me so they can see the truth Insh Allah

Interpretation:

Wa `alaykum salam,

These are lights and blessings that Awliya are dressing you with as long as you are patient with the wrongs against you, and Allah knows best. Keep patience and don’t respond in a negative manner.

Dream: I gave Shaykh Nazim food in my dream

Dream:

Shaykh Nazim was in my home eating food I had prepared in the basement. Shaykh was eating and I began to sweep because it was dusty, and I dropped a vitamin in the sweeping. Shaykh picked it up and was about to eat it, but I did not want Shaykh to eat it because it fell. I tried to stop Shaykh and offered another one instead, but he was too strong and I couldn’t move Shaykh at all. I remember I was sick in real life, and the vitamin and food was something to do with medicine in the dream. I ate something like that that had helped in real life, and I stored black seed oil in the basement and drank it in real life. I woke up before Shaykh could eat the vitamin.

Interpretation:

In a suhbat on September 15, 2009, Shaykh Hisham Kabbani said:

Why did the Prophet (s) give an emphasis on medicine? the Prophet (s) mentioned many verses and hadith about the importance of the human body, how to keep it healthy, is it not?

And one of that he said, “Al-maidatu bayt ad-da, the stomach is the House of Illnesses.” And bayt is ad-dar a house and bayt is also bayt al-qaseed, where Sayyidina `Ali (r), indicated it means “the most focused point”. When the Prophet (s) said, “the stomach is the House of Illnesses” he meant to say the stomach is the focal point of sickness in the body. And it depends on how we eat and what we eat.  And he was encouraging Sahaba what they have to eat in order to keep strong and to keep fit. Because if you don’t keep fit you become sick. If you become sick you lose your focus on many issues, because you keep saying, “O I am sick, I am sick, I am sick and then you lose all kind of concentration and you become more and more someone that is frustrated in what he is feeling and then you end up in depression as many people today are doing.

The Prophet (s) in his message was focusing mainly at the beginning on the sciences of the body in order that if you have a fit body you don’t lose your mind. If your  body is not fit, then you will be losing your mind. And when you lose your mind you cannot carry out the responsibilities of what the Prophet (s) brought of obligations of what Allah sent and you become a sinful person. Like a drunk person, you tell him to go and pray but he is not going to pray. So when they have problems in health many people lose their minds and when they lose their minds they cannot carry any more of what the Prophet (s) brought of obligations.

And Allah knows best,

I saw my eldest brother who died a few years ago is sitting next to a very big tree and tree has different sections of fruits such as banana, mango and oranges. They are also very big in sizes. He asks me which one I want, I kept selecting but then woke up. A few days ago I saw him sad but today he was ok my mother prays for him a lot. Please interpret.

Jazak Allah

Interpretation:

That is the tree of his deeds and he is gifting from his righteous works to you whatever you choose. And Allah knows best.

Dream: Losing items

Dream:

I had a dream that I was in my aunts house. She really wanted me come. And all of the sudden I kept on losing things. But what I really noticed that I lost is my phone and then I found it. I stepped aside and there was a little boy next to me and some man staring at me. I really wanted to go home but I felt that it was too late at night for me to go home.

Please interpret, thank you.

Interpretation:

Your aunt represents your soul because our aunts and grandmothers are always the most pious ones around us. Losing the phone means losing the spiritual connection.  Going home means turning back to Allah, so the dream is telling you to rebuild the spiritual connection by focusing on your Shaykh through muraqaba, which is indicated by the night time, where muraqaba takes you away from dunya vision and opens up heart vision, in-sha-Allah and Allah knows best.

Dream: Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

Dream:

Assalaam ‘alaykum all eShaykh Staff,

I live in Mauritius, MSH came but I did not really see him in front of me. I was in a hall (like auditorium) and there they were going to show a movie and I managed to be in front rows (like reserved seats), then I say no this is not good and went back in search for MSH. I thought to myself MSH is a renowned Sufi Master and everyone is willing to talk to him (he was in a corridor). I felt jealous a that time ant wanted to go back to him. Then I remember that we were outside the auditorium and I was on a slope (of grass) and MSH was in a room next to it but I did not meet him person to person.

Interpretation:

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

Walaikumas salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

This dream indicates that your heart longs for sacred knowledge (represented by pious scholar) but your bad desires (represented by movie) are delaying you from reaching your goal. Because you are naturally a seeker of truth through your heart, you were guided out of your bad desires to proximity of MSH. Seeing your self on the slope of glass means you will finally, insha Allah, achieve mastery over your ego and MSH will always be there right by you to guide you along your spiritual journey whether you see him physically or not.

Words meaning?

Question:

Assalam O Alaykum WRWB,

Bismillahir rahmanir rahim,

*ya Shafee, ya Kaffee, ya Mu`afee.

Explain meaning of these words? Are they part of the 99 beautiful names of Allah? Please explain everything of this words clearly.

JazakAllah Khair

Answer:

Ya Shafi – O Healer; where Allah is the source and cause of all healing. One of Allah’s Holy Names, according to the hadith:

اللهم رب الناس أذهب البأس أشفها يا شافي لا شفاء إلا شفائك شفاء لا يغادر بعده سقما

Allahumma rabb an-nas, adh-hibi ‘l-basa, ishfi Anta ash-Shafee, la shifa illa shifa’uk, shifa’an la yughadiru saqaman. (O Allah, O Lord of mankind, remove the affliction and send down cure and healing, You are The Healer; so cure in such a way that no trace of illness is left.) (Sahih Muslim)

Ya Kafi – O Self-Sufficient One; where Allah suffices His servants in all their needs. One of the established names of Allah from the well-known Names.

أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ

{Does not Allah suffice His Servant? } (Surat az-Zumar ,39:36)

Ya Mu`afee – O Healer (another word). The mufassir al-Qurtubi used this as a Name of Allah in his Tafsir.
