Divorce / Khula’

Question:

Asalamalikum. I am a Muslim lady living in USA. I have been legally divorced by the court since 2019.  I am trying to get my Islamic divorce but my ex-husband is not granting it if I don’t agree to his rules. Seeking your help in divorcing me from him.

Answer:

Assalamualaikum,
Dear Ma’am,
After I sent my reply for your query to the webmaster on eshaykh.com to post I forwarded the gist of your query to a shaykh in Beirut who has experience in the matter. I added my own question, which was: “If there was a nikah contract followed by a civil marriage certificate followed by a civil divorce, does the civil divorce (in a US court) constitute a valid talaq in the eyes of the Shari`a?”
This is the translation of his reply:
“If the words used in the statement of the civil divorce explicitly denote talaq in the [English] language, then talaq has (already) definitely taken place. All that is needed is for there to be a word that is explicit in declaring talaq, and as you know the word ‘divorce’ in the English language is the official word for it, so if it has been used then talaq has been effected.”
So the above reply shows that if divorce was effected in 2019 then there is no need for any further pronouncement in the eyes of the Shari`a because your talaq took place without doubt at that time, four years ago. And Allah knows best.

Worldwide destruction

Question:

Ppl gathered on the streets of NYC. Talk of terror attack. All phones start buzzing and become explosives that fall from the sky. Cars and stones are falling all over the world causing death and destruction. Fear leaves me. Try to give my mom her shahada.

Answer:

NYC represents the heart of kufr. The dream represents how the chiefs of unbelief are in the  final stages of arranging mankind’s downfall with a flood of destructive methods which will deceive most people. Alhamdulillah in the dream you are safe and your family is safe as evidenced by reciting Shahada, confirming your belief and Allah knows best.

Teaching how to pray

Question:

Assalam u Alaykoum

A foreigner came to my family home and I was explaining to him about Islam and teaching him how to pray. We then became loyal friends. Towards the end of the dream there were dogs locked up in a cage barking.

Jazakumu Allahu Kheira

Answer:

Your ego is the foreigner, as it is without discipline or respect. You tamed it by teaching and discipline and thus its evil characteristics, represented by the dogs, were all caged up and unable to cause harm to others. This is good tidings to you to keep on the path you are on and the results should be valuable here and Hereafter and Allah knows best.

KILLING THE EGO

Question:

Mawlana How to get madad from mashaykh???
How to kill the ego?
How to connect to shaykh in muraqaba ?

Answer:

Seek madad by saying “Madad Ya Shaykh!” with full belief.

You cannot kill your ego, your Shaykh must do it. Again it is a matter of belief and seeking Madad, being patient and waiting for the opening. It may not come until your last breath.

Call on your Shaykh and visualize him in your heart. When you take one step towards him he takes ten towards you.

Allahu `alam.
