Miserable life

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

Assalam o alaykum sheikh Hisham,

The problem is that I am married to a person from sixteen years and have got [private] kids. My life is turned into hell. I  am writing this and make testimony Allah. We both performed Umrah and Hajj but my husband became my worst enemy, he is teasing me in any possible way. I am a housewife and he works, we both pray but the language he uses is unbearable. He never ignore any single mistake and constantly asking me to take khula, but doesn’t want to give me divorce. I am extremly disappointed and confused every day… Please give me advise and dua both as I already recite so many things. Jazakallah khair.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

Tell him Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said “the best of Muslims are those who treat their wives best.” Is he happy to be among the worst of Muslims? Also “as you give mercy you shall receive mercy” meaning prepare for the exact same treatment you gave others in dunya. At the same time be forgiving and recite basmalah, Fatiha and Salawat when preparing food. Make dua before Fajr. With patience Allah will grant you a good improvement in sha Allah.

Question:

Asalamu Alaykum,

I don’t know what to do, there’s this guy that I love. He has asked me to marry him, but he doesn’t do Mawlid or believe in my sheikh, Mawlana sheikh Nazim. I know that in Islam children follow on what the father is, and he calls himself Sunni but he isn’t. What should I do? How do I know I’m making the right decision?

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

If Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) is your shaykh then he is closer to you than your own father. If you can love someone who refuses to love your father then go ahead and marry him. Sunna means the Way of our Prophet (upon him blessings and peace); if you are Prophet’s follower yet you can love someone whom you yourself describe as non-Sunni then go ahead and marry him. Otherwise, then Allah is Most Rich and Generous, He will send a better match for you and your future family.

Jazak’Allah :)

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

You can purchase full men’s sunnah clothing suits from isn1.net. It is
not on the website so you must email the staff@isn1.net and request to know the price, sizes and colors.

Question for Hajj Gibril Haddad

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad

Question:

ASA,
Respected Shk Haddad. Please advise as if I’m your sister/daughter. I’m 3_, unmarried. I blame my parents for not trying enough for my marriage at the right age. I live in N. America, educated and financially supporting myself. I am too lonely, have strong desires, and too afraid of being lonely all life. Everyone of my age is married with kids, and this feeling of being left out is killing me. I tried on my own to find a match but got manipulated. My family is unable to find a suitable match for me. When I make dua or offer wazifa for marriage, I feel Allah has not destined marriage for me. I’m too depressed, lonely, abd physically frustrated. What should I do? Also, I have just came to know about this site and shk. Nazim, what should be the strong rationale for me to take online baya?

Answer:

First, forgive your parents as they are the most deserving in all creation of your mercy, and resolve never to blame them for anything anymore. Forgiveness will lift away depression. As for everyone being married with kids it does not automatically means they lead righteous lives, and that is the priority of every sensible person. Trust in Allah and do your best, He will send someone right your way in sha Allah. As for online bayaa it is a spiritual opening offered by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (Allah bless his secret) in this day and age so I cannot recommend it enough. Then you can also visit his deputy Mawlana Shaykh Hisham in Michigan and he may facilitate a blessed match for you in sha Allah.

Dream: My mother and I traveling

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Imam Yassir Chadly

Dream:

Salaam!

My mother and I argue occasionally, and I dreamed that we were traveling the world. I was usually the adventurous one until we found a glacier-surrounded sea near the North Pole. She said let’s jump in, and waded in in her coat, and I followed. It was cold, but not uncomfortably so, and we looked up at the stars and it was lovely. Then my dad called and said we had to come home because he lost a credit card. We came home, he turned the house upside down to find it, and found it. My mother angrily told me, This is why spouses shouldn’t have joint accounts. Then I woke up.

Interpretation:

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

Wa alaykumusalaam,

This dream can mean that your mom is giving an advice about responsibility. She want’s you to not involve other in something that you can resolve yourself like your dad did.

And Allah knows best.

Direction of sleep

Posted on January 5, 2013 by Shaykh Senad Agic

Question:

Assalam alaikum sheikh,

I would like to ask about the direction of sleeping in my room. If I sleep on my right side its facing away from the Kaaba i.e the Kaaba direction is on my left side and I fear that its disrespectful to put my back towards it. Sometimes I sleep on my back straight and face slightly towards the left side i.e towards to the Kaaba so its not disrespectful. So kindly advise me accordingly.

JazakAllah Khair

Answer:

Wa Alaykum Salam,

Sleeping on one’s right side regardless of the position of Ka’bah is Sunnah. Sleeping on one’s left side is allowed but one does not get
the reward for following the Sunnah.
