Dream: Oversleeping and time

Dream:

AssalamuAlaykum,

I’m a faithful, divorced 4_ year-old single mom who’d love to marry, there’s a certain man that I love but he’s currently non-Muslim – I’m making duah that he sees the light inshallah.

The dreams have the same theme which occurred over 3 consecutive nights…I oversleep, look at the time and in the first dream it was 07:23. In the same dream during a meeting I was given two watches. Second dream I oversleep, mom comes into the room shows me a dress that she purchased for me which I instinctively knew was my wedding dress, deep pink with brown flowers. Third dream I oversleep, time is 07:05 I look at clock again and it’s 08:15. Fourth dream I oversleep, it’s 5:05 look at clock again and it’s 3pm.

Shukran for all your time.

Interpretation:

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

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

This dream points to Surah al Asr (surah 103)

By time

Indeed, mankind is in loss

Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.”

And it shows that insh Allah you will bring this man to Islam and marry him.

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani had adviced to recite 100 times daily “Ya Muqalibal Qulub wal absar thabitna ala al Haqq” with the intention to guide people we love to Islam.

You may also recite “Astaghfirullah al-’Azheem” 100-300 times daily to remove all obstacles to get married, and “Hasbunallah wa ni’ma l-wakeel” 100-300 times daily.

And Allah knows best.

Family problems

Question:

Aslamualaikum sheikhs,

Bismillah peace and blessings be upon our beloved messenger of Allah.

We have been having many problems in the home especially with sister who is divorced and is causing many argument in home with parents. I was wanting  to ask if there is something more than this than what meets the eye as her behaviour is worse every time and it is hard to be controlling oneself when this is happening. My mother is stressed due to this and very worried, and I am concerned for mother’s health which is also deteriorating. If you could advise us of what we may able to do to eliminate these problems we would appreciate it very much. Jazakallah for your time.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

It is an anger issue which is from fire and shaytan and therefore very draining. Avoid arguments and be gentle and forgiving toward sister to spare your mother all the tension. Recite Ya Haleem x100-1000 daily.

Operation

Question:

Hi,

I am due to have a Laprotomy operation to remove cyst and fibroid which maybe the reason why I haven’t been able to conceive for 6 years now, however I am so scared of the operation. The thought of having my stomach cut and the aftermath pain is getting me terrified, the doctors have ensured me that their will be pain relief but when I hear from other people I get really scared as they have found it really painful, please can you suggest something I can read prior to operation, which with the power of Allah can make it less painful as possible or even miraculously not painful at all. Jazakallah.

Answer:

Ya Jabbar, Ya Latifu, Ya Karim x100 daily with sadaqa.

Dream: Saw Habib Umar bin Hafiz &Habib Ali Jifri

Dream:

Asallam Alayekum,

Today after Fajr salat I had the most beautiful dream. The two blessed shaykhs came to my house and were sitting beside each other, Shaykh Jifri had another companion who I could not recognise but they were sitting beside each other on our sofas in the living room and I kissed all of their hands. I then remember asking shaykh Habib Umar if taking bayah is compulsory and he said yes you should take it. One thing I found odd was that shaykh Habib Umar spoke Urdu (my native language) with my father and talked about some area in Kashmir where some walis live…anyway after i spent time in their presence their car came and they left our house.

JazakaAllah and please make dua for me.

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

This dream shows that awliyaullah are happy with you and sending guidance to you, even though you are physically far, and Allah knows best.

Cold Wind around me

Question:

Salam Alaikum dear Sheikh Nazim,

I often feel a presence around me. It is a cold presence, and I can feel it. It visits me from time to time. I ‘m sure that’s not the common wind or so, it is a invisible and cold presence circling me for a few minutes.

And I feel often a kind of electricity, a vibrating energy going through my body. It vibrates often in the last time. I wish to be clairevoyant to understand those messages.

What is the meaning of that? Why does it visiting me from time to time? Why I feel electricity and vibrating energies? The doctor has found nothing.

Wassalam

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

Recite the daily beginner’s wazifa described at naqshbandi.org and in sha Allah your state will improve.
