Dream: Fajr Salah interrupted

Dream:

I dreamt I was rushing to pray as sunrise was near. And a friend’s mom kept talking to me while I’m doing my morning prayer and held out her hand to give me salam or money or both I can’t recall except my prayer was interrupted and many people were bustling around me in the room.

Interpretation:

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

This dream can mean that there is a project that you could not finish for some reason. Try to do the dikr of “Bismilahir Rahmanir Raheem” at least 300 times before starting any projects, Insha’Allah you will be able to finish any task.

And Allah (swt) knows best.

Issues at home

Question:

Salaam,

My wife will not sleep with me at times if we have had an argument for several weeks. How much of a sin is masturbation in such circumstance. JazakAllah.

Answer:

Wa Alaykum Salam,

Masturbation is not an option at all. By such behavior your wife is risking to cause a great deal of Allah’s anger and dissatisfaction with her. You are to warn her by explaining that such behavior is completely unacceptable from the Islamic point of view.

Dream: Tidal waves

Dream:

As Salaam,

I keep having these re occurring dreams whereby I’m near the ocean and tidal waves erupt. I wake up feeling fearful. This happens every few weeks. JazakAllah khayr.

Interpretation:

Alaykum Salam,

These are reminders of end of times. Make daily Salawat x300 minimum and in sha Allah you will be granted peace of mind.

Usana

Question:

Assalamualaikum,

I’m hoping to start a new business. It’s with a company called Usana. Now what has been happening is that I am slightly confused as to the fact that the job seems good but I want to make sure it is halal. At this point in life its not a necessity, but I do believe in working hard and if Allah Taala wills, I can succeed in doing many things in life. The job entails me to sell health products which are both halal and some haram containing gelatine and alcohol. I’m supposed to recruit people as associates and build a team in a business of marketing. My associates just like me will be looking for other people and selling the health products which are supplements. I hope for an answer which leads to the pleasure of my Rabb. Assalam.

Answer:

Wa alaikum assalam,

To be on the safe side leave off this business and start a halal one.

Dream:

Salam respected eshaykhs,

Recently heard a very beautiful and mesmerizing recitation of the Holy Quran in a man’s voice .

A girl or lady dressed in white with head covered was reading the Quran kept on a stand, behind her two girls with Qurans. The woman in white was reciting the Quran ..but the room was filled with the sound of a mans in qirat. The girl in white did sijda … her chin touching ground instead of forehad …as I could still see her face which was round an fair..seemed she did sijda at the recitation at ha meem sijda..when the man said ha meem.

The mans qirat was appearing from her front an my right hand side .. …the other two girls or ladies I think did not do sijda. I waken with voice reciting the Quran.

Walaikum Assalam,

InchaAllah, it means strengthens one’s faith and power and reaching a praiseworthy end. Since you heard Surat Sajdah, you should also make sajda in wakefulness.

No shayk or representatives in our place

Question:

Assalamu alaykum to all of you.

I would like to ask about if what if there is no shayk in our place? What should we do? What about those people who don’t know computer? I thank Allah that he let me know about shayk Nazim trough internet. What about those people who live in remote places that don’t even know that they should look a perfect guide and need a guide? Forgive me if I say something wrong. And please let me know if my baya’t is being accepted by shayk Nazim.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

People can go to the nearest place where there is a representative, at least once a month for group dhikr. Even on a desert island Allah will reach you with His Mercy and Knowledge and your bayaa is accepted in sha Allah.

Dream: Adam (as)

Dream:

Everyone is waiting for Adam (a) (but in real everyone waits for Imam Mehdi). As soon as I finished Fajr prayer prophet Adam(a) hugged me from behind that I couldn’t see him. I cried out of happiness. Then he spreads Islam all over the world. He left. This was actually a dream in another dream. I explained this dream to my father’s friend (which was included in the same dream).

Interpretation:

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

A Prophet in a dream has many meanings. He usually represents, a teacher, a Shaykh, a warning or a glad tidings. In your dream, inchaAllah it means a glad tiding. It is also an indication that you are a true believer.

Allah knows best.

Permission to work

Question:

Salam Shaykh,

My husband is of the view that I shouldn’t be working even in a women orientated job because Mawlana has said he dislikes women working outside. The thing is, we just moved and every month we are having a bit difficulty financially. We also have a young daughter & I am very very bored at home. I was thinking of working for a while and I can send my daughter to school and help my husband with the household for a bit. Do I have permission to?

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

It is true that Mawlana dislikes that, so try to find something that allows you to work at home. This way you get both blessings: on the one hand keeping harmony with husband and following Mawlana’s preference, on the other hand helping out with expenses and occupying yourself.
