Marriage needs saving

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

Assalamu-Alaykum,

Please forgive my bad adab.
I have been married for a few years and have recently been struggling to keep on good terms with my wife. She is very unhappy and we have been having many fights, and I even have to fight her to make her 5 daily prayers. Before we were married I know that she made all her prayers on-time and did many nafel things.

My question is: Is it permissible to divorce my wife if I know that it will get her to do these things again and make her happy again?

Answer:

Wa `Alaykum Salam,

Talk things out as adults between you both. Try to find out what’s been keeping her from praying, on time even. Get professional assistance like a counselor or religious teacher to advise. Find a mutual solution and stick to it.

As always do not forget to pray for your wife that Allah Almighty shall change her heart and continue to fill your hearts with love for each other. If all endeavours fail your expectation, then write to us again with your situation and we shall advise accordingly.

Awrad and mother’s criticism

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

Assalamu’alaikum dear Shaykhs.

1) I have been doing the daily awrad without fail (although it sometimes feels difficult) since February this year and would like seek permission to progress to the awrad for the prepared. I attend weekly zikir here in Singapore but feel shy to ask the shaykh.
2) I have two aunts who are interested to perform non-obligatory prayers other than salat Tahajjud and Tasbeeh but my mother frowns when I teach them salat like Najat, Shukr, and a few others I learnt as a mureed of Shaykh Nazim. She also said, “My Ustaz taught us just to perform the prayers done by the Prophet (Tahajjud and Tasbeeh) and nothing else that are new inventions.” None of my family actually know that I learnt all this from the Naqshbandi. My aunts are eager to learn and receptive but I need advice how to reply to my mother.

Answer:

Wa `alaykum Salam,

1) Yes you may but after ‘Eid al-Adha.

2) Tell her kindly and respectfully that those prayers are not innovation. This have been passed on from one Shaykh to another Shaykh via a direct chain of transmission from the Prophet s.a.w., with the ijazah or permission been given by the Mufti and Shaykh al-Islam of Cyprus the ‘Arif billah, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Hanafi al-Haqqani who is renown in the Middle East as a Faqih in Hanafi Fiqh as well as in Shafi’i Fiqh.

I want to find a Wali Allah

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Ustadh Abdul Shakur Hadi

Question:

I want to become mureed / follower of Chisti Silsila. Or at least I want to become spiritual. Two years ago I came to know about Dajjalic fitnas and the mess he and his followers creating.

I want to do something spiritually for Islam and Pakistan.I have been collecting information about Dajjalic stuff and Ahadees relating to this matter as much as I can.

I want guidance/dua for this matter….

Answer:

We invite you to take the hand of Al-‘Arif billah, Khatam al-Asfiya’, Shaykh al-Mashayikh, Mu`ayyiduddin, Mujaddid Akhir ‘Asr, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim ‘Adil al-Haqqani an-Naqshbandi al-Hanafi al-Qubrusi ash-Shami as your Murshid and focal point of love and guidance in these last days via this method.

Then fill up the contact form. We shall be in touch with you soon.
