20 years with no spiritual progress

Question:

I’ve done dhikr & salawāt for past 15-20 years but nothing works for me; I don’t see answers of dua, effects of dhikrs, prayers, dreams, anything. Things seem worse, materially/spiritually/character/emotionally/mentally. I don’t understand.

Answer:

إن المؤمنَ لَيُدْرِكُ بحُسْنِ خُلُقِه درجةَ الصائمِ القائمِ.

Our mother Sayyida Ai`sha (r) relate that the Holy Prophet of Allah (s) said:

Truly the mu’min will attain through his/her excellent character what those attain who stand all night in prayer and fast their days. (Abu Dawud)

Focus on following this hadith and see quick and blessed results insha-Allah.

Dream Hair of Sayyidina Ali RA

Question:

Salaam

I was in a cave searching. I found a key. I then had a wooden box in my hand and opened it. In Arabic it said Thaqalayn. There were 3 tubes with a hair in each one. I picked one up and it had Sayyidina Ali RA’s name on the box where the tube lay.

Answer:

wa ‘alaykum salam,

Allah swt says:

وَإِذِ ٱعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ فَأْوُۥٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا

{ [The youths said to one another], “And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah , retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility.”} (Surat al-Kahf, 18:16)

It means once you follow this verse, and seclude yourself in the cave of your heart, away from all distractions of dunya, nafs, hawa and shaytan, then Allah (swt) will grant you a Key from His Divine Grace, and that key will open The Door, who is Sayyidina `Ali (r) and with him, Sayyidina al-Hasan (r) and Sayyidina al-Husayn (r)–as the Prophet (s) said, “I am the city of knowledge and `Ali is its door.” The value of each of them is greater than ath-thaqalayn, jinn and mankind, as “al-Hasan (r) and al-Husayn the Masters of the youths of Paradise.” and their father Sayyidina `Ali (r) is considered the primordial fata, or chivalrous youth – he fought the outward jihad and the inner jihad at one and the same time.

Allahu `aalam.

Shark and crocodiles

Question:

I see my family members, like on vacation. I am standing on the beach, water is knee level. I can see sharks swimming normally beneath my feet but they are normal. I again see big crocodiles walking on the beach going to another direction/going away maybe.

Answer:

As-Salāmu `Alaykum wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh 
The sharks and crocodiles represents your bad manners. The sea or ocean represents Allah’s Mercy that overcomes your sins and bad manners. Be thankful to God and try to improve yourself insh Allah.
And Allah knows best !

Answer:

As-Salāmu `Alaykum wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh

The street represent the spiritual path you took or you are about to take. Bringing your parent to see the waves means that your spiritual path will bring endless mercy and happiness in the life of your parents insh Allah even though your mother will first have doubts about that spiritual path.
And Allah knows best

Question what should I do to make good decision according to my dream vision

Question:

I love one girl, we have broke up, we have not dating just talking with messenger, I have met her in library I want to come back to me, I saw one dream in the noon, she said I will come back to you, I am doing istikahara but no answer, I am feeling very pain.

Answer:

As-Salāmu `Alaykum wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh 

Mawlana Shaykh Nazim gave us a powerful istikhara, do it once and follow what will come first. You will have an answer this time by the barakah of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani insh Allah! Fatiha !
Powerful Istikhara taught by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim:
“If you are in doubt about something, whether it is the right thing to do or not, if it is according to Allah’s will or not, you can ask about it in the following way anytime you need to:
Take a shower (Ghusl) or make wudu then recite before going to bed :
“Oh my Lord, I am intending (mention the thing), and I am asking for my will to follow Your will. Give me the right sign for this purpose.”
You will be given a green or a red light… You must take this seriously.
Then it is impossible to do this and not to get an answer.
This is a form of Istikhara. Anybody may do it.
There is free permission to ask for everybody, who is interested to know, if they are acting according to their Lord’s will. But you must not ask about something that is already clear, and the direction has already been shown. In that case you must accept whatever it is, and there is no need to ask about it.
It is best is to do this exercise before going to bed. Pray two Rakaats, ask, and then go to bed without talking to anyone”
Mawlana Shaykh Nazim
