Bayah

Question:

Assalam O Alaikum!

It is to inform you that I recently took baya oniline. I was mureed in another silsilah before. After initiation I came across a post on this site where you advised someone that if you’re already a mureed of someone then you should take permission from your murshid first. Now my question is that I didn’t take permission from my murshid and took bayah online..is the bayah valid or accepted by Sheikh Nazim Al Haqqani? I don’t want to take permission, it’s my life and I have the right to take decision on my own. If I had been spiritually satisfied with my murshid then whyb would I be taking bayah with Sheeikh Nazim Al Haqqani? I am not been satisfied so why do I need permission from such murshid? If my baya is being accepted by MSNnow what should I do?

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Rather, before you discard your current murshid, you should ask “O my Shaykh! Are you satisfied with me?” Your adab with your murshid is the key to your progress, regardless of who he is. So if you so easily discard your first, what’s to stop you from discarding the 2nd and the 3rd, when you find their orders or requests onerous on your nafs? You are not in the “Shaykh Market” like the “Vegetable Market”.

Dream: Sky Ride Above Water

Dream:

Assalamalaykum,

Was sitting to right of my husband on a sky ride, was pretty high up. I was scared as below only trees and water. I thought “I can’t swim” and in real life I can’t and am afraid of heights. We were going pretty fast and at one point there was a tree and my husband said, “That’s a very beautiful tree,” as if he knew all about it or had seen it before. Then a piece of that tree fell in my lap, but I didn’t see anything particularly beautiful about it, I think it was dying. Last part of dream I looked down, though very scared, I saw a square with sort of like steps and a dark hole in the water, thinking I’m going to fall down in it and die, then I woke up (maybe I did fall and die but I can’t be sure).

Interpretation:

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

Walaikum Assalam,

This dream could be the result of your exaggerated worries and anxieties. Try to do zikr “La Ilaha Illa Lah” every day.

Success is from Allah.

Two Dreams

Question:

Salam loved ones,

I dreamt that I was coming home at-night with a friend so we decided to pray Fajr as it was-time. We went to a big mosque with lots of people praying. I was going to start but I had to do wudu and I was getting worried that I may miss the jamat because its only 2-rakaat. I went to do wudu but for some reason there were women in abaya doing wudu a swell and I for some reason had no shirt on. I minded my business and done wudu and was relieved as I caught both rakaats and the imam had a beautiful voice.

Second-dream was that I was wearing all-white and I found a green-turban. I put it on my head then took it off, but my friend smiled and said put it back it either looks good or is good for you.

Can you interpret?

Answer

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

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

Entering mosque in a dream means you are entering Ka`abatullah as Allah swt said in Holy Qur’an that the masajid are the houses of Allah and that they belong to Allah so entering a masjid means entering a reflection of the Ka`aba in that place. Seeing yourself with no shirt means deficiency which needs improvement.

In the second dream, the green turban means that you will receive heavenly protection against the upcoming tribulations by keeping the sunnah of Prophet (ṣall Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam).

And Allah knows best.

Prayer Request: Dua MSH

Request:

Assalamu alaykum,

I would like to ask MSH to make dua for me to be a salih worshipper of Allah, forgiveness of sins, and raise me in spirituality.

I have lots of problems in life. I am not doing good in college, can’t get into medical school, no prospects for employment, nothing. This may seem trivial but my family had high expectations and I have let them down. It’s because of my own shortcomings. Now I am breaking down spiritually and mentally, I don’t have any direction in life.

Forgive me for the rant and please make dua for me. I really have no idea what to do anymore. Jazakullahu khair.

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani is praying for you.

Get up before Salat al-Fajr by one hour and pray Qiyam al-Layl, insha-Allah things will improve swiftly.

Permission to leave Sham

Question:

AlSalam Alikom,

Brothers I want to ask Mawlana’s advise and his instruction for us
people in Sham. In these days Sham is witnessing hard days and war.
Mawlana instructed to leave cities to country side but the situation
in country side is not well any more. All country side almost destroyed
and people flee out of the country or to Damascus. Now situation in
Damascus is also dangerous and kidnapping become frequent and killing
is in everywhere. I want to ask Mawlana permission whether I can
travel out of Sham with my family to United Arab Emirates as I have my
brother there and I can settle there till the situation in Sham calm.
But I am afraid to leave Damascus if HZ Mahdi will appear this year as
Mawlana is expecting. Please help me and with you advise. Hope Allah
to save all Muslims in every place in this world.
God Bless you all.

Answer:

Alaykum Salam,

You have permission. Provide for yourself and family as best you can
and seek safety.

Dream: Moon

Dream:

I dreamed it was night and I opened the front door of my mothers house to go outside and when I looked up the moon was blue and huge like it was very close to the earth. It was split horizontally with a gap of about a fingers width between each half and there was something like molten lava falling from the top to the bottom, after a while it disappeared like it had been sucked into a vortex. Only to rise again about 45 degrees to the right of where I had first seen it except it seemed to be red, near the horizon and normal sized.

Interpretation:

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

Seeing the moon split in two in a dream means that a major sign will manifest to  show the divine power.

Allah knows best.

Dream: Like in the clouds

Question:

To the beloved Sheikh Nazim Faiz al-Haqqani Sheikh Hisham Kabbani and greetings wa wa rahmatullahi barokatuh ….. may God give you the glory.

I dreamed I met the Prophet Muhammad SAW. I was with the Prophet at a place that is bright and comfortable like being in the clouds.
We face each other but I could not see his face, because the Prophet’s face is noor…scattered sun above our heads, but not hot for us. The atmosphere of calm.

Thank’s
wassalamu’alaikum wa rahmatuLlahi wa barakatuh.

Answer:

اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ

{Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Similitude of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star...} (Surat an-Nur, 24:35)

Many mufassirin say mathala nurihi, the Similitude of His Light, refers to Sayyidina Muhammad (s). So you saw Sayyidina Muhammad (s) in his physical form, but it was too much, so you saw him in his spiritual form, as the sun. And Allah knows best.

Permission for best course of action

Question:

Salaams Shaykh Hisham,

Please forgive me and pray for me. I am asking for permission for a divorce as me  and my husband married under difficult circumstances and have been married for 7 years. We have no children, and I am not attracted to my husband neither is he able to fulfil his fard or have an intimate relationship with me. His family also trashed my house and hate me. I feel this is oppression and cannot bear the thought of living in this marriage any more. I am very unhappy. I have been patient and given him many chances, but it feels like there no ease at all in this marriage. I have supported him so much but only for him to keep hurting me and I feel finished now. Please help me and advice. I am desperate…

Answer:

Wa Alaykum Salam,

I will pray for you. If you cannot fix it then: make wudu ablution, pray two rakaat and whatever inspiration is sent, follow it.

Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Prayer Request: For Our Children & Progeny

Request:

Assalamualaikum to SN and all eshaykh shuyukh,

I would like to request a dua from Sheikh Nazim:
1. Forgiveness and guidance from Allah for me [private] and husband[private].
2. Our children [private] and progeny to be one of Allah best servants and lovers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and Islamic scholars and the Imams of Masjid an-Nabawi, Madinah.
3. Allah invite us to live and die in Madinah and for us to learn from the Habaib/sheikhs there. It is difficult to settle there because we are NOT Saudi citizens.
4. Allah open our hearts and make the learning easy for all of us in Tarim, Yemen with the Habaib there (we will go any time now for 4 years).
5. Grant us all success and protection in the dunia and akhirah.
6. Protection from the dajjal, hell fire, shaytans, azab kubur, anything bad.
JazakAllah khair.
