Dream: Re-occurring dream

Dream:

Selamun Aleykum, may Allah give health and long life to Mewlana Sheikh Nazim and Sheikh Hisham, amen.

Since in my dream I keep seeing a boy who liked me but I said no in a bad manner. In my dream we don’t speak and most of the time in my dream he is angry with me. I see him in my dream nearly everyday. What can I do to stop this and what does this mean?
Jazakhallah.

Interpretation:

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim
Bismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm:

Wa alaykum’as’Salaam,

This dream can mean that you need to change some habit. Before you sleep make sure you have wudu, enter the sleep night on your right side, and do dikr of  Hasbuna-l-Lah wa ni’mal Wakeel at least 300 times (use the beads) until sleeps takes over. Insha’Allah your
dream will change to a more positive one.

And Allah (awj) knows best.

Dream: Destruction of America

Dream:

Assalam o Alaikom,

President Obama starts caging the resisting people and places them in three rooms. There are Muslim soldiers too among the caged, and they’re very sheepish. A breaking news comes on screen that the US president is about to impose Order of the Queen (it feels like a global marshal law).

Everyone is terrorized with this news, like sure death. Suddenly the sky changes and when we look outside, fire has rained over America and there’s lava everywhere. I felt like we got rescued like the people of Musa (AS) were rescued at the verge of death.

Within the fire ground are few empty places where there are some US civilians (surviving). They have a small dog which is very cute, intelligent and I’m playing around with it.

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 represents your spiritual state and the fight within yourself between good and evil. Try to Increase your recitation of salawat on Prophet (ṣall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) insh Allah.

And Allah knows best.

Hizb Recitation Reactions

Question:

ASAK,

I started reciting Hizbul-Bahr after Fajr, this started noises like pebbles hitting on the walls, ceiling especially in the room where I recite it. Me and my wife started having nightmares being attacked by Satans, we most of the time tend to recite LaHawla or Ayatul-Kursi in the dream. After wearing Naqshbandi taweez and put up big prints all over the house, it subsided but is getting very irritating again after I started reciting Hizbul Wiqaya after Maghrib.We hear noise of Window glass cracking in the room where we sleep and I see nightmares of Satans/Evil Jinn attacking me within 3-4 miles of where I live. Sometimes while going for Isha, I play the Hizbs in the car. Again, to clarify it is only me reciting Hizbul Bahr,Yaseen, 3Quals3x, Bashairul-Khairat after Fajr, and Hizbul Wiqaya after Maghrib and Bashairul-Kairat after Isha and Ayatul-Kursi, 3 Quals 3x before sleeping. Also recite Ayatul-Kursi after every fardh.Please advise.

Answer:

Continue, they are more irritated and much weaker than you. All this shows it is working so you must keep reading with strict regularity and you’ll be fine in sha Allah.

Doubt about Daily Awrad

Question:

Assalaamu Alaiqum Rahmathullah,

Recently got conformation about acceptance of Joining Tariqah, and have got Daily Awrad too, but I am not clear about “m” and “o”…m) Šalawāt [same as (i)] 100 times; 300 times on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. o) one chapter of Dalā’il al-Khayrāt or instead Šalawāt 100 times.. Can you explain what I should recite? And Insha Allah-Can start Awrad immediately after Your reply-Pray for me I need lot of correction in life.

Thanking You
Allah Hafiz!

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi, wa barakutuh.

Salawat is “allahuma salli `alaa Muhammadin wa `alaa aali Muhammadin wa sallim” (as in [i]).

For beginner (mubtadi`) recite 100x daily, and 300x on Monday, Thursday and Friday.

Then recite on juz (chapter) of Dalail Khayrat OR 100x salawat as above in its place if you are not able to recite it.

Dream: Vitiligo

Dream:

I had a dream about my sister’s daughter having vitiligo around her mouth and her mouth was drooping (like people with face paralysis). I told her she needed to get it checked but she said it was getting better but it obviously wasn’t.

Thank you

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

She must be careful about associating with people of corrupted beliefs lest their sickness affects her heart. And Allah knows best.

Spoiled Food

Question:

Esselamu’Alaikum dear Shaikh and staff,
I have two short questions:

1. I am doing my best not to throw away any food, but my best is not good enough. Would you please tell me what is the best way to dispose food that is not more edible?
2. I am doing charity work for one humanitarian organization delivering food to senior citizens, and often I find pork in those bags. Should I continue?

My Allah swt reword you endlessly for your efforts.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

1. Use it as organic fertilizer
2. If it is most of the time pork then no (unless able to remove it from menu) otherwise ok.
